What is the fucking deal with this asmongold guy? I genuinely don't know I don't follow him Ihave seen him pop up in many places and ppl seems to either love him or hate him.

His appeal is the same as Trump's. Losers like to see themselves reflected in someone successful

[–] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

He's seriously stupid, but he often takes contrarian positions, so some people really like him.

[–] Death_Equity@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

He is a true moderate that has hot takes and the left hates him because of issues like trans kids and because he is a multimillionaire that is basically a talking shit-post like if 4chan could obey Twitch TOS. He is a degenerate that does not live a normal and healthy life, see my other reply to get a quick rundown of how degen he is.

He streams every day for 6-8 hours to around 50-60k people, around 4 hours are reactions to headlines in gaming and politics, so there is a ton of things he says that get clipped and circulated. HasanAbi(Largest leftist political streamer) fans hate Asmond and love to post Asmond hate content.

He’s currently in a shitflinging match with Hasan Piker. So now the (American) internet is for some reason is dividing into camps of “hobo with gum blood on his walls” and Hasan “literal terrorist propaganda” Piker. All praise to the almighty algorithm.
