Not sure why this is someone “famous”. He clearly needs help with serious mental health issues. I’m always surprised to hear that he has such a big followers base.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Twitch is a demented world I’m glad I was never a part of.
Honestly it’s fine if you’re watching smaller streamers. The huge ones is where it gets weird.
Twitch tryna compete with kick.com by pushing degenerates
Representation matters. All the gross 4chan incels see themselves in him and feel validated.
because, we are so overwhelmed with obvious fake bullshit 24/7, that anything “real” is a breath of fresh air.
Asmongold is some random hoarder whose claim to fame is playing fucking WoW, he also used his newfound status to take care of his ailing mother and now father.
this is why more people tune in to watch any given asmongold stream than they do fucking…jimmy kimmel, who only has a show because he knew someone and they couldnt find anyone else with less edge.
it’s like…the truman show in way
And because ganers are gross losers
gamers?
some are for sure, but i see why…this is a fucked up world we’ve created for ourselves and games offer an easy accessible escape from reality.
That guy who posited that “everyone in America is 12 years old” was probably right.
Right wing people like him.
We’re living in an age where entertainers mirror their audience. They aren’t about escape from reality or ideals to dream of. They are about wallowing in reality. They excuse the sorry condition their audience is in. Frankly, I think they occupy a brain space that used to be occupied by having friends. We have all had stupid friends we sit around and do stupid shit with, right? Well, not anymore. Now you just watch this idiot on your phone. It’s depressing as hell.
He was a huge WOW player and on his decline he hopped to FFXIV. Now I was a FFXIV player for years and loved the recognition. So his followers just ballooned because he hired a hit squad and went after the harder stuff in end game. He left that game but kept the followers. He was funny at times. But I can see why his popularity grew within video games. He’s a solid streamer on that front.
I watched him for a bit when he hopped on FFXIV, but then he had some misogynistic takes that made me see how awful he really was.
I didn’t see that part. I just watched him go after the coils of Bahamut.
I don’t understand this person’s appeal.
It’s exclusively other people that don’t shower for 3 months.
Yeah that tracks.
All you need to know about Asmongold is there’s a video of him on-stream trying water for the first time ever.
He gagged when he drank it.
Then he “watered it down” with soda.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but wasn’t the water he drank Fiji? If so, that’d explain his reaction. To me, that water tastes soapy.
Should taste like corpo fascism, the reznicks are deeply deeply terrible people.
Pretty sure that was a bit. Not even close to the most significant issue with him
Sure enough, he ended up finding a dead rat. Unsurprising, considering he previously used a dead rat as an “alarm clock” because the sun would begin cooking the corpse, causing it to smell, and the stench would wake him up.
This guy is a disgusting piece of shit…
That being said, skin does have a “horny layer” that we scrub off:
The stratum corneum (Latin for ‘horned/horny layer’) is the outermost layer of the epidermis of the skin. Consisting of dead tissue, it protects underlying tissue from infection, dehydration, chemicals, and mechanical stress. It is composed of 15 to 20 layers of flattened cells with no nuclei or cell organelles.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stratum_corneum
Scrub that off with abrasive scrubs full of chemicals and you exposure a “fresh” layer that looks good and healthy, but doesn’t offer the same protection. Which can lead to issues like acne or even skin cancer.
You still need to shower though, and not use a fucking dead rat as a smell alarm clock…
But there’s almost always a small seed of truth they build the crazy off of. Like how every pearl starts as a tiny piece of sand.
I don’t think his layers will be making anyone horny

This reminds me a lot of chiropractic medicine; there is a core of validity too it, but many modern practitioners have hidden it deep inside a boulder of manure.

Everytime asmongold comes up I always think he can’t get more disgusting but someone always has to prove me wrong
I’m sure things were evolving on him.
At least now you can say he has culture.
A whole ecosystem of bacteria, fungi and insects previously thought to be extinct, intentionally eradicated or entirely new to science; all on the body of a man who makes more than enough money contract several HAZMAT teams
Pretty obvious he’s saying things like this to get more attention. He knows how to get people to clip and spread his content, and people keep feeding the troll.
I once didn’t shower for nine months straight, and I evolved from a fetus into a baby
Not true, we tried to rinse you out multiple times.
The bacteria in his butt crack probably evolved many times
Reminds me of someone here on Lemmy recently who had switched to eating nothing but steak and insisted it was giving them superhuman powers.
A few years ago, I stumbled upon a subreddit for the carnivore diet. There were people there listing all the conditions and diseases they were supposedly cured from by only eating meat.
One particular individual listed like thirty separate conditions.
Like having superhuman levels of cholesterol

Who?

That’s not how evolving body flora works

He misspoke, obviously he meant devolve.
De-evolve
Who?
He’s an entitled man-child YouTuber who gained some popularity as an mouthy asshat playing World of Warcraft back in the day. And since then he’s convinced himself that because he has a following he must be a gifted genius. And apparently that has translated into him not showering for reasons.
In short, as you already knew and implied, he’s less than nothing special.
Bizarre that world of warcraft players think they’re famous lol
I think he moved on to other games eventually. He has a fairly high subscriber count on places like Twitch and YouTube. So in some sense he is relatively famous. But he seems to think that that makes him important or that his shitry opinions matter. When he isn’t, and they don’t.
Even the highest subscribed youtuber or twitch user would be completely unknown to the average person, none of these people are relatively famous. The majority of subscribers and internet traffic as a whole are bots.
EDIT: your downvotes don’t change reality
MrBeast is reasonably well known even outside YouTube, he’s doing shows for some other streaming service as well.
People like the slow mo guys are also pretty well known too.
people really don’t appreciate just how quickly legacy media is dying, more people watch any given asmongold stream than fucking…jimmy kimmel
everyone knows by now just how obviously fake and bullshit all legacy media is, it’s why the powers that be are so desperate to reign in any social-media site not beholden to these oligarchs living in the past
Who?
If you showed a photo of these people to someone random on the street, it is almost guaranteed they would not have a clue who they are.
You’re just in a bubble.
I’ve seen posters and billboards with the dude’s face on them while driving around, he’s famous outside of YouTube.
There’s also people like the Slow mo guys who a lot of people would recognise.
A lot of people watch YouTube.
Many people wouldn’t recognize Bill Gates or Marilyn Monroe either. That has nothing to do with if they’re famous or not. You’re being disingenuous and you know it.
I don’t think his hygiene issues came about after his fame. Seems he’s always lived in filth. He’s a millionaire that lives exactly the same way as he did without any money.
I swear, he is just photogenic for the most punchable, beady eyed twatty expressions.
No, he doesn’t. He’s a very untalented and unintelligent young man who needs attention to have an income; this rag is giving him that attention. I’m part of the problem by commenting on it, and I’m not even spreading any awareness that this man makes money through clicks so will act out for those clicks because it’s something we all know.
the guy lost his mother due to their hoarding, hygiene, and health issues. the guy recently also lost his father to health issues/cancer. You’d think it would be a wake up call for him to start getting his shit together but it won’t.
I guarantee you he’s going to get health issues because of his teeth. His gums have rotted away and routinely bleed (he wipes the blood from his gums on his bedroom wall btw). His home is infested with rats, cockroaches and god knows what else that I’m honestly surprised he hasn’t been bitten by a rat yet while he’s sleeping. The guy is so repulsed by water that I’m surprised he doesn’t have rabies. He can’t even drink it because he finds it gross. He won’t eat any fruit and vegetables for the same reason, they’re gross.
All he eats is junk food and fast food and he’s as thin as a rake. his gums are rotted. I’d be curious to know what his index and middle fingers look like at this point…
Don’t forget he has the personality of a wet brick.
I don’t understand why anyone still watches him.
Like, is his commentary just that insightful and entertaining? Or is it just watching how far it’ll go?And, for some reason, he remains wildly popular, despite being a disgusting incubator for the next global plague.
