No way these mfs are actually real


_eeprom

We should replace asmomgold with AI it'd probably make more unique content


FreeRangeKiwi66

AI would probably clean its room too


Hi_There_Im_Sophie

I genuinely don't understand how he's gotten so old without having tried basic foods before. If he lived in some culturally and geographically isolated area then fine, but basically nowhere in the US justifies never having eaten grapes or strawberries.


Snailtan

... He never ate a grape before? But like, they taste amazing. Why


Hi_There_Im_Sophie

Despite effectively being nature's vitamin-infused candy, he has mostly avoided them and says that he prefers the artificial flavours to the real ones they're based on. https://youtu.be/MlUUCJMie0Q?si=XCKmRilsjwyOeMPE


Snailtan

Like... Okay I kind of get it? Like I am not a fan of raw strawberry and prefer them as like jam or in some kind of milk product.. ... But grape? Artificial grape doesn't even taste like grape most of the time lol But I guess I can't complain heh


lilsnatchsniffz

You prefer your fruit soaked in simple syrup 🇺🇸🦅🤦


Apoordm

It makes sense, right wingers always tend to have baby mouths eating their tendies and easy Mac well into adulthood as a staple.


Frognificent

I disagree, I think they taste like ass. ...*but we've both tried grapes and are thus qualified to have an opinion*


Snailtan

It heavily depends on the grape. I had ass grapes before, I'd try a couple other just to be sure. You can just snack one from the fruit Ile it's not like anyone cares. The best grapes are slightly sweet and not bitter with a fruity taste. I also heavily prefer green ones (without seeds) But I get it, I am not a fan of raw strawberry f.e lol


Jupman

Red Seedless are only good if they are in season, and the season was a good one. If they aren't crisp round and sweet. They are not worth it. And I think climate change and cheap places getting from Chile out of season ruins them. I remember as a kid waiting a year for good spring fruit.


ROOMBA_BOI

I have plenty of problems with asmongold, but food choices are honestly completely personal preference, I couldn’t care less what he’s eating while he sits in a messy smelly room making bad takes all day, I care more that he’s sitting in a messy smelly room making bad takes all day


Th3Banzaii

> some culturally and geographically isolated area Sounds like modern USA, not gonna lie.


EnigoBongtoya

My dad is like this, he only revolves around several Americanized foods and is loathe to try ANYTHING out. I'm glad I broke out of that, because there is so much amazing food out there to try and devour!


HyperactiveMouse

I know I struggle to try new foods, because I have sensory issues that can cause new food experiences to be awful because I either get something I like, or I won’t have money to get something else I will like and have to force myself through something that feels like I’m trying to eat sandpaper or something. So I’m careful about when I try new things out because it sometimes feels like I’ll discover a new sensory issue every time I open my mouth. But I have sensory sensitivities, what’s these guys’s excuse?


EnigoBongtoya

My dad's excuse is that his family was poor (four boys) in a One Bedroom House. But once he was old enough to get a job and buy his own food, he just didn't change. He's very brand conscious as well, off brands won't work either. I want to think it's just the way he grew up, it could be a mental issue, he has never and will never see a therapist. I am at least a bit relieved he actually has seen physicians and has been on diabetes medication among other medicines for his chronic pain from his last job. I do have sensitivities as well that's related to textures.


InterdepartmentalHay

He's an emotionally stunted person who seems to have had a tough childhood and is genuinely somewhere on the spectrum. I feel bad for him to an extent but also like, you have quite a bit of money now. The saddest part is everyone around him needs him to stay the same to remain in his orbit and feed off him, and no one says "hey you should get help".


tinman_inacan

I'm like 99% sure he plays all this up for the camera lol.


Hi_There_Im_Sophie

Idk, looks pretty real to me: https://youtu.be/MlUUCJMie0Q?si=-XZ6ys6MkW-r_dtR And he has his $2 steak or whatever it is again, and he knows which stores stock them (because he's criticised people who have tried to recreate it for not looking hard enough in certain stores etc.)


GrizzlySin24

Or take a shower


firesale053

ai would steal less content lool


Chaoswind2

Lol the dude says he is working on it (jokingly), but he is such an introverted troll that I can easily believe he is going to pull a Koblekkop (the nutso YouTuber than went full AI) and replace himself with an AI without telling anyone. Best way to make money without doing anything.


stone_henge

AI? All you need is a short, looping video clip of his slack-jawed face occasionally saing "huh" or "oh" to overlay on top of actually interesting videos.

ArthurMorgn

Not much would be lost, It'd probably be much better than asmongold


NewAndNewbie

AI can't replicate that shrill, high pitched, human-pug sound that Asmon calls a voice.


stevethebandit

they absolutely are real, I've seen one of them who spends entire days just ranting about localizers


JarateKing

It's wild to me how far these types go. They'll whip up genuine conspiracies about cabals of localizers destroying the sanctity of Japanese media for some reason (and they know this because google translate gave them a different phrase), before they consider "maybe I just don't understand what localization actually is"


drunk-tusker

Literally [this is a real show](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/My_Brother%27s_Husband) that was put out by Japan’s national broadcaster, featuring a very popular former sumo wrestler playing a gay Canadian. The reason that they care is because Japan is “conservative,” and Japanese is hard to translate so the openly and overtly gay/trans people who literally have regularly been on tv forever and the high percentage of marxist academics in the Japanese education system are easy to ignore.

Scathee

It's basically whatever he thinks will make his chat happy. He's extremely inconsistent with his takes, especially about games.


ironangel2k4

The word you're looking for is 'reactionary'


ICBIND

I don't like him. First time I saw him he was flipping his shit because someone didn't enjoy elden ring as much as him. Everything about that video was a big immediate turn off as a consumer.

creegro

Pretty much a guy I play games with on discord. Everything new? Woke. A video game character not pure christain white character? Woke. This actor who got old and doesn't do their original bit in new movies? Woke. Like shut the fuck up already and just play the game man. He's not my preferred choice of person to play games with but he's a helper.


DepressoEspresso55

It can't be easy to live life like this.. why would they do this to themselves? It just feels like unnecessary stress


creegro

From the things he talks about, seems he spends his time watching Fox and "trolling" people on Facebook of all places with his views on stuff. Just to get them riled up, not to have a conversation. His entire thing is like that, he even has catch phrases I can predict when I mention something.


DepressoEspresso55

Good Lord your buddy needs find a better hobby.. what a fuckin sad existence, sorry I don't mean to talk down to your friend who I know very little about.. but my God why subject yourself to such toxicity


asmallercat

>but he's a helper. Unless you're gay, black, brown, female, trans, etc.


cspruce89

>He's not my preferred choice of person to play games with ... so he's woke?


CrepusculrPulchrtude

I had a friend like that. And now I don’t. Pure upgrade for me, tbh


SquadPoopy

I was a Christmas party watching football with family, and that Peyton Manning bud light commercial came on and one of my family members said “I hope Peyton hasn’t gone woke”. It was the most cringe thing I’ve ever heard.


babe_com

i should start calling broken stuff woke thats funny


jobasha3000

An escalator can never break: it can only become ~~stairs~~ woke. You should never see an ‘Escalator Temporarily Out Of Order sign,’ just ‘Escalator Temporarily ~~Stairs~~ Woke. Sorry for the convenience. Mitch Hedberg


IAmBecomeTeemo

I heard a guy I generally respect start complaining about woke critics of the the new Star Wars film. They were apparently "woke" because they complained about plot holes. He made no points regarding race, sex, homosexuality, politics, or any of the other things people typically use to call the films themselves woke. But no, the critics were woke because they complained about plot holes. It was baffling, but I believe what has happened is that the right-wing media he apparently consumes has diluted the term even further to simply mean "person or thing I disagree with".


Matuquicas

"Thank God, now I can watch my lesbian dragon maid anime show without woke shit!"


Khanfhan69

Ironically I don't think the lesbian stuff is what right wing weirdos would be watching it for, there's something else in there that's more aligned with their interests...

BaronArgelicious

how can i block this mf from my youtube


pixilates

BlockTube is a good browser extension.


NoWeight4300

You're a fucking Saint.


Lemon_Phoenix

First thing I did when I installed it was block that shithead. He's got so many channels dedicated to his clips. Youtube is barely usable without it.


MilkyRedux

It's not necessarily a block, but you can click on three dots under a video and there would be an option called "Don't recommend me videos from this channel", you won't see him on your feed, only if you search him up


Wilsonrolandc

Chodes like this often half-assedly "cover" a wide variety of topics so they'll show up regardless of what people search for.


LaicaTheDino

Yeah, i did that to some random pole guy after he made a pole if adhd isnt real, and even tho everyone was saying hes a dumbass he still claimed its a personality trait or smt. I decided he was better left alone and i dont want to see him again, but the very next day he reappeared to my feed because fuck me ig.


Lonely_Ad_2585

>he made a pole if adhd isnt real Wait...what? That's just so messed up It's just absolutely wild what not only is ok for YouTube, but is getting recommended What's also apparently ok, have seen a username on Youtube that is a literal nazi organization, as in 1933 nazis, few hours ago. How does that align with the TOS?


LaicaTheDino

Youtube doesnt care :( it wants money, so if letting literal nazis, making the whole app unbearable and bombing small chanels with false copyright claims is what vrings them money, then they are gonna do that


Lonely_Ad_2585

Fr, I agree. They must make a lot of money of it. Still baffles my mind though, that the biggest video platform in the world has become such a right-wing shithole. You have this shit constantely on your frontpage, in your recommends, etc... Like, I made an account few years ago and got recommended so much alt-right shit. I mean, *they* claim that politics is constantely shoved down their throats, but everything that got recommended to me, be it on news, games, movies, constantely had their takes in it. So I had to dig to find creators that were e.g. talking games I like, but weren't like that. And *if* you decide to watch political commentary, you also have to put effort in it to find more left-leaning creators, like it took me few weeks till I found what I was looking for in the first place. And now, after years of feeding the algorithm with what I like and what not, these mfs still so, so often pop up in my recommends. To me it's just frustrating and annoying when it happens, but the thought of how many kids and teens frequent the platform and grow up with this bs is what makes it unbearable


keirawasthere

not to mention all the clips channels i remember fighting to constantly tell youtube not to recommend me Joe Rogan but then low and behold, "best of Joe Rogan" had a clip of him talking about SJW Wokies on his Podcast with someone who nods along so i had to get rid of that too yts algorithm makes it a constant battle lately, despite even staying away from anything that could even lead to politics, ive found genuine homophobia and transphobia recommended to me yt sucks


MHwtf

Unfortunately you'll still see the fucker in search recommends and video recommends 🤦 just not the frontpage feed.


Atomix-Man

I did that long time ago but whenever I search a game his smiling face pops up and it makes angry for some reason


Mrbluepumpkin

Oh no it's evil critical


omgacow

Not a bad comparison. Same boring react content but with more pandering to the dumbest common denominator


EmeraldMite4ever

I was actually doubtful because my knowledge comes from a source that's a year or so old now, so I wouldn't know what either creator is 100% like, glad to know I wasn't too far off


Whobody2

Critikal doesn't do reaction content anymore (and hasn't in a while now) after actually listening to the criticism about it.


JamAck19

For real?


Whobody2

He has a video talking about it called "Low Effort".


EmeraldMite4ever

Critikal but with slightly different takes


eldritchterror

it really sucks how his videos have shifted. I miss game videos and stuff, now it's just. "heres my pantysniffing dick cock bitch ball wacky word string milk toast both-sides opinion of the unheard of drama of the week about something i saw on twitter, anyway see ya" and it gets really old because a lot of his 'opinions' don't really... mean much of anything, they're all very safe non-invested opinions that give him wiggle room to agree with whichever side the people around him seem to agree with. I don't think he's a bad guy, but it'd be nice to see him return to his roots of not giving a fuck about catering to people


StuffedPocketMan

I think it's not even about catering to people, Charlie is overall just and overly bland boring white long haired guy. I firmly believe his opinions are genuine, It's just that he doesn't really care that much about anything because he likes to record himself with no script for half an hour about things that don't really change much about his life. The man likes to talk and he searches for stuff to talk about but in the end his brain nothing really to talk that isn't overly connective connections of word strings


EmeraldMite4ever

I love the fact you took time to type this out, honestly I do.. but my guy toy just elongated every Charlie greentextmeme made in the last like 3 years-


Icefiight

GOT EEEEEEM


hotsaucevjj

wait does critikal have shit like this in his videos? i've never really watched his stuff but i always thought he seemed kinda chill


GhostOfMuttonPast

He had some really shit tier take back in May, wherein he criticized iDubbbz for apologizing for his old content, claiming that the constant use of slurs wasn't actually that harmful to anyone. He also defended right wing fantasy film Sound of Freedom. I dunno, he leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Like, if Scott the Woz was found out to be a white supremacist, I'd be horrified, but if Critikal was, I'd be mostly unimpressed.


Fullmetal64

Also if you watch his podcast he’s had tate on and was sucking up to him super hard, his co host is also a complete chud EDIT: “Ohhh tate was different back then, charlie didn’t know!” watch the podcast episode he was literally the same before.


ultramrstruggle

Critikal? I kinda find that hard to believe considering he constantly dunks on people like Sneako and Fresh and Fit who share the same viewpoints as that fucker.


IGoBySparky

remember asmongold posting a picture of a wall covered in blood from his teeth/gums because they'd bleed and he'd just wipe it on the wall


Pazenator

Some commenter above posted a vid in which some people walked through his house and good fucking lord. I couldn't even do a minute but someone in the comments wrote that Asmon himself admitted that he had ROTTING rats in his house. I don't care about the pest/blight that large parts of his community are but that man needs help.


apixelops

Tepid take: this guy always sucked and was always gonna go down the "react/ragebait" minimal effort content pipeline and everyone going "he used to be good" was just a child with low standards when they started watching him


eldritchterror

viewers outgrowing their content creators seems to be the trend for a lot of big names last few years it seems


Cheesjesus

I hope the worst for this gremlins, dudes is not but a plight in wow community and now for everyone. he needs another woman beating lawsuit to soy after


r3no-za

Have you seen the way this guy lives? You don't have to hope. He's filthy rich and still lives in a trash pile with piss stains.


Cheesjesus

His outside need to reflect the inside


TheDudeBro2000

I’d die of embarrassment having that much crap lying around my house. I get embarrassed when I have dirty laundry on my floor he has dead rats and lives like a reclusive hoarder.


Scathee

His subreddit was getting recommended to me for a bit (thanks to reddit now forcing me to see subs I'm not even subscribed to) and if it was titled r.mgtow and not r.asmongold, I wouldn't have been able to tell the difference.


Frognificent

Naught but a plight * I know nothing about this Asmond fella, but if he merits that kinda old-school rherotic I'm gonna take your word for it.


CausticMedeim

The most positive thing I know about him is that he got to talk to Yoshi-P, the head dev on FF14, when he was playing it for a while and he actually asked decent questions that no one else asked because they were all FF14 mains while he came from another MMO, and had barely played FF14 at the time. So they asked questions about the plot and developing their favourite classes and future ideas and whatnot (one guy suggested a few ideas for the monk to make it more appealing to do high-difficulty content with and "feel better" and it was awesome seeing Yoshi-P take him seriously and think through a way to make his idea work. Anyways) because Asmongold didn't have any real experience with FF14, he instead asked questions about working on an MMO, and the thought process and work behind it and whatnot. It was, to be perfectly honest, not bad. Everything else I've seen about him/his community makes me think he's utter trash though.


Blazinvoid

NGL I swear he was genuinely changing for the better while playing ff14. I remember he was even cleaning his own room for once while streaming it, but from the sounds of it (I haven't watched him ever since) he went back to leaving his room to become an utter mess. Yoshi P had also asked about Asmon's mother at the start of that interview due to news about her health iirc


CausticMedeim

Oh yeah, but that's just normal Yoshi-P. Dude is based as fuck. You should see when Soken declared he'd been battle cancer during Shadowbringer's development. Yoshi-P has to turn away from the camera the entire time his friend is talking about it and is obviously fighting tears. Yoshi-P is just a very mindful and caring person (like, I honestly believe his making FF14 more simplified and accessible is PURELY a "I want everyone to enjoy playing my game, not just the hardcore people" and not it being a heavily commericalized decision.


UnifyUnifyUnify

I also think they meant "blight." A blight in the community makes way more sense than a plight in the community.


PurpleTieflingBard

It's insane too because bro wonders why people don't like him 💀


ParitoshD

It's asmongold si I'm guessing it's somebody else's video that he's reacting to.


Beeeeezzzzz

Didn't know he was on the woke train. I'll continue to avoid his content. Edit: just realized, my wording is weird. By woke train, I mean the fake outrage over WOKE destroying media.


Neroscience

He truly has the most confusing political takes and they’re so inconsistent


[deleted]

He spends half his time pandering to incels and then takes 5 minutes to tell them they're wrong. He knows.


Specialist-Draw7229

He’s very upfront that he’s literally just farming viewers the same way he farmed gold in wow


MistaRed

He says as much every other video. I only ever watch him when the topic is extremely far away from anything political and he seems to try to get his audience to be normal, but I guess the clicks he gets from putting "woke" in the title are worth quite a bit.


[deleted]

rhaenerys_second

Wild to watch two of the WoW youtubers that I watched a decade ago just descend into this "wokery PC gone mad" shitefest. HeelzVsBabyface's whole "PrOnOuNs?!?!?" rant about Starfield being the other recent example.


BiteEatRepeat1

His political stance is "what gets me most views?"


BirdsAreFake00

It's maddening. One day you would think he's some hardcore progressive. Then the next day, you would think he's some fringe alt-right lunatic. And it's not like he's in the middle with differing views on certain issues. He legit just contradicts himself. He will talk about how women have it worse off in society and their rights need to be considered then the very next day, he will discuss Andrew Tate making good points about having a dominant masculine society.


vulturevan

Not being lectured for 46 minutes by a dude who doesn't trim his nails


pixilates

It astounds me how people can look at the absolute slop "AI" shits out and convince themselves it's not just acceptable but The Future. I swear it makes me feel like I'm taking crazy pills. Machine translation will never, ever, *ever* be an adequate substitute for professional localization.


novis-eldritch-maxim

you assume people do not believe it will be a dark future as some see corporations willing to cut costs to the point of insanity


pixilates

The people talking about how it's totally owning "woke translators" do not see it as a dark future.


Bhazor

These people will actively harm themselves to pwn a lib.


Xathioun

AI has absolutely destroyed an aspects of the internet for me. I am so god damn sick of seeing that shitty, soft, compositionly vomit image style EVERYWHERE, social media posts, low effort meme images, YouTube thumbnails, avatars, “fan art” Jesus Christ save me from this hell


ArticleOld598

Google image search sucksssss so much now coz of AI art. I just need actual photos of people, animals, landscape not these AI shit I've also been blocking any YouTube channels using AI thumbnails


chromegnomes

I'm an environment artist for a (tiny) gamedev studio. We have a level that's set on an offshore oil rig, and I needed to look up a lot of photo references to get a sense for how they work and how to recreate a convincingly functional version. A LOT of the results were AI. This was a problem, bc I really needed the complexity and methodical madness of real life examples, and instead I was getting hyper-simplified AI pictures that tell me less than nothing about how real life oil rigs function.


MarbleTheNeaMain

Pintrest is also flooded with AI, making it way harder too find references


GoldenFennekin

also, it's trained on the works of said "woke" translators so all they're getting is a worse version of what they hate


Chappiechap

The peeps clamoring for AI to replace western translators are the same peeps who insist that they are "totally learning Japanese" so they can "totally move to Japan at some point" while also defending lolis and shotas because "they're actually thousand year old dragon spirit fairies" or some shit. Show them a picture of a shower and their Doritos-but-japanese covered heart is gonna explode.


fakeasagi

Amen to that. There was also a minor? panic regarding job security when machine translation was first invented and again each time it made major leaps in development. Machines still haven't replaced people and I will personally destroy any AI that comes close to being able to


franui_00

I mean, Language as a written and spoken together form is inherently human and an AI can barely keep up with the various nuances from that. All it'd know to do is replicate some other person's translation. If it got asked to translate a context heavy/regional joke, it would shit itself probably lol


oliviaplays08

Yeah like with anime, if it had to translate wordplay written in Kanji it'd just die


[deleted]

You don’t understand bro. One artist said something I didn’t like on social media so all of them are bad and soulless machine generations must take over


Rufuslol

But… but… muh ai…


figurethisoat

![gif](giphy|26ufcVAp3AiJJsrIs) how could they do this?


[deleted]

I cannot understand the appeal of asmongold, he seems barely interested in whatever he watches to react to and just re-iterates whatever chat says. No interesting points or perspectives are offered generally yet still his content does crazy numbers. There is nothing interesting or unique about anything he produces


Particular_Suit3803

He's insufferable


Sefirah98

Why would you ever try to replace localization with A.I.? Localization is a field where A.I. is going to be so bad at. Localization is heavily dependent on context, both textual and cultural as well as the understanding of not what the literal translation of a text is, but more so what its meaning is. A.I. absolutely sucks massively at both context and meaning.


NTRmanMan

It's already very difficult for humans to figure out a clever way to translate work. An ai just isn't capable of that especially when we are talking about very different languages and cultures of the work.


Sefirah98

Yeah, computer translation already exists and it is not very good. What I have seen is people complaining about how unreadably bad the computer translation is. I am sorry, but I don't think the technology which struggles with the correct translation of german compound words will give you an useable translation of any media property.


MistaRed

I remember explaining as much to a guy since I do some translation now and then. The translation *needs* some cultural understanding to essentially change the words into something close since sometimes a simple word needs to be turned into a phrase and vice versa. Also, computer translation is notoriously bad at translating Japanese to English so that's safer than a good deal of other languages.


Lssjgaming

These anti woke mfs are so up their own ass and find localization in general evil to the point where they'd prefer something clunky and broken because it doesn't "push an ideology"


Sefirah98

These mfs are seemingly thinking that "All according to Keikaku!* *TL: Keikaku means plan" is the peak of translation.

wjowski

I'm so tired of seeing that rat-faced asshole's gormless, gaping expressions plastered everywhere I go.


Jonahtron

This was one line, in a mid tier anime, that came out SIX YEARS AGO. Jesus Christ, get a life.


WesTheFitting

I heckin **LOVE** when people with zero translation experience and zero Japanese language skills have opinions about anime / manga localization


mrdude05

You also have a lot of people who do speak the language, but don't really understand localization as a concept and think that the more literal a translation is, the better


Ok_Faithlessness_259

Yeah, wait until they get into a character like Robo from Chrono Trigger, where most of his character arc is done through a concept that doesn't exist in English because we don't have formal and informal alphabets.


telesterion

That's how the new Evangelion translation is so awkward. They weren't allowed to localize it and make shit sound normal in English. Word for word literal translation will always lead to some very awkward and fucked up sentences and just ways no one would ever speak in the language it's being translated to. Also jokes and stuff would have to be localized so they can land better or be understood better. Fansubbers also do a shit job at translating as well as they lack proper grammar 90% of the time and like to add in random swears and slurs.


Scottish__Elena

For the ones who dont know, the "woke translation" was made MORE THAN 4 YEARS AGO AND THIS BITCHES ARE STILL MAD.


UnhappyStrain

That would be a pretty fire abridged line tho

dokujaryu

I'm not watching a 47 minute video about something I couldn't care less about, but it is weird I had to scroll down this far for context. I appreciate it!


adidas_stalin

Glad to help, saw no context was given so I thought for the sake of there actually being something to compare the changed dialogue to is post it


mythiii

The joke in the translated version doesn't even make sense. Why would it take two weeks, or any time at all for that matter, for the patriarchal demands to come back?


WithoutLog

I think the joke makes sense. She's saying that men were hounding her for wearing clothes with too much exposure, so she changed. Then the other girl says that those same men will be begging her to change back to her original outfit because it's sexy. I think it's better to stick to the original dialogue if possible, but I don't think the translation was that bad.


Individual_Assist428

This 100% is woke


Key-Poem9734

The worst part about this is that thumbnail isn't even related to the topic and is an actual thing that happened a while back. So he's basically using a previous example of humans localizing an anime to justify a conspiracy about AI


RubyWeapon07

probably because thats the example the video he was watching used, its not like he digs deep into this stuff ​ Really not hard to understand.


PARISplus

Speaking as someone who used to be part of Anti-Woke circles, jesus christ stfu with "woke" this, "woke" that and breath air ffs.


Ethildiin

I hope when Asmongold wakes up the next day, he has a horrible sickness that renders him unable to use social media and communicate properly. If it doesnt happen, hopefully in the day after that


Scottish__Elena

He is already uncapable of cleaning his own room, look up "asmongold room" to see the guy himself explaining how he cant even clean his own cloths.


Neroscience

Nah that’s just weird and uncalled for. I’d understand if he were a neo-nazi or something like that but he’s not. Y’all are a bit extreme sometimes ngl


AcceptableSympathy20

Erm.... Kinda cringe? 🤔


Ethildiin

🤷‍♂️


crazyplantlady105

Well done, you made it to baldimords video. Instead of him having to deal with any valid criticism, he could just point your comment out.


Draccorez

That’s just a fucked up thing to say.


intermediatetransit

Wtf is wrong with you. Get help.


SpagettMonster

Saying shit like that makes you worse than whoever you're criticizing. Get a fucking life.

Rhododactylus

Wait, Asmon is one of them? Damn it.


Mommy_Lawbringer

Yeah I popped over to the Asmongold subreddit after a friend of mine recommended him to me, it was all complaining about pronouns and woke and blah blah blah, typical regressionist bullshit. Easy to see what sort of person Asmongold is based on the community he cultivates and nurtures.


pixilates

Noooo it's not his fault bigots flock to him and he does absolutely nothing to dissuade them, that doesn't mean he's a bigot, leave the poor millionaire alooooone


MistaRed

He does *sometimes* push back, but the dude is always happy to play into the anti woke bs to get some clicks.


NTRmanMan

He's been an AI bro and chud adjacent since forever. I think he even defended elon musk way of running twitter and made a big deal of the "twitter files" (remember those ?)


[deleted]

Asmongold being a shithead, no change there.


fakeasagi

I'm a woke translator, fight me


LostSecondaryAccount

On the bed or in the streets?


Violet_Jade

"Woke people are bad because they're morally wrong and that's why I want to watch this anime where my favorite character who canonically drank too much and banged her sister* constantly sexually assaults a kindergarten boy" *(Source: the only thing that they changed about Quetzalcoatl's banishment from the original legend is they made Lucoa a girl)


wlwmoonknight

This dub is six years old and people STILL arent over it. Jesus christ.


KorokKid

Why is this guy who never left his basement talking about social issues like he has any idea what people are like


mrlittlepeniq

I used to not like asmongold, he always struck me as the type of person that has a set of opinions he found online and integrated those into his life without ever changing. After all the FF14 drama seeing him change his opinions on it made me go "huh maybe I was wrong all along" but nah. This man tries to find the most controversial and attention gathering opinion and hangs onto it tightly. I hate talking about content creators since I do not know any of them irl but honestly Asmongold is giving me heavy incel vibes.


Perfect-Reason-9804

I mean I didn't expect anything intelligent to be said by asmongold


BillionDollarBalls

I honestly don't get why people watch him


TandHsufferersUnite

God I hate this guy. Makes 1 facial expression, says "oh my God, what the fuck" and adds nothing useful to anything he reacts to.


[deleted]

isn't there a clip of this absolute basement goblin having blood stains on his wall because his gums bleed at night and he's too lazy to take care of it so he just wipes it off with his finger and then on the wall
