That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

Whatever political stance he may hold, or whether he is conscious about it, he is an entrypoint.
His content is uncritical dogpile reactions and no-fact-checks perpetuating drama. Combined with zero effort community weeding.
While theoretically neutral, such hate cesspools are the culture that fuels the alt-right.
His audience definitely leans that way. I don't get the impression that he has any agenda or conviction, but he consistently reacts to content that enables the alt-right. He's been quite candid about getting into the react meta just for the money. Even so, he does seem to have unwittingly become an alt-right entry point.
It also feels that the money starts pouring in once a content creator taps towards the right. Much like criticism comes knocking if you go left.
Haven’t watched it, looks like room-temperature IQ reaction content. Which can be really popular, I guess.
The dude's whole brand is "I'm just a lazy dirty gamer guy". He's a spectacle, not a leader.
Honestly don't think he thinks much about politics
I don't think he thinks much about anything really. He just puts on a show.
He strikes me more like a nihilist or at least realist. He does react to political videos like the Trump interview where he complained about Harris "suddenly being black". But Asmon mostly makes fun of all the idiocy. But he also makes fun of idiocy on the left and that seems to get gobbled up by his commentors.
But all in all he doesn't seem to care about stuff, including himself. He just states how things are without much evaluation beyond objectively bad things.
Like, he'll state that he has an unhealthy lifestyle. He'll state that people make fun of him. He'll state there are transsexual people. He'll state people get upset about transsexuals. Could be construed as right-wing, but there is no valuation in those statements because they're objectively true.
He'll also say that there is violence against transsexuals and that that is fucked up. Could be construed as left-wing but I would say that's as objectively morally bad as one would be able to call anything so.
His followers and detractors seem to ignore everything left leaning he says and instead just focus on everything even slightly right leaning. Especially taking any statement out of context. Like here: https://youtu.be/xBzc3CJOj9I
I don't like the guy but I think he is entertaining. I just have to stay clear of his comment section.
I think he's aware that the statements he makes are always objectively correct and the right wing audience wants to believe that he is on their side when it usually isn't the case. Especially when discussing about the current direction of games.
He strikes me as more a rube that occasionally picks up alt-right talking points than a dedicated follower. At least on one occasion he called out Moon, a shitty right wing video essayist, for lying, but he went really hard on anti-Sweet Baby Inc. content.
So I guess he could unintentionally? But intention doesn't really matter here. His fanbase probably leans right too.
I once saw him being an utter piece of shit. A Bethesda writer got harassed on Twitter for being a writer on Fallout 4. Long story short, some jackass manchild on Reddit shitposted something utterly wrong and it made sense to other menchildren and they attacked said guy which hurt him a lot. So this assmold guy made fun of him, calling him pathetic and acting like being hurt is something disgusting. And it dragged on forever.
He is a piece of shit. So are his viewers for still watching his stuff.
Don’t know if he is alt right tho. But it doesn’t matter. Shit nonetheless.
He's certainly unaware that his funny takes form opinions in young people's minds.
No idea who that is lol
Some dirty slop Twitch streamer living with cockroaches who somehow garners a relatively large YT following and pops up in every freaking search result.
Eh, I don't get alt-right vibes off him but he does often have controversial takes of things such as asking his followers to bully people who purchase mtx shit to put pressure on the game developer which I honestly find just beautiful.
Also earlier he didn't really care about administering of his chat, and that caused it to become quite cesspool
Isn't that the guy talking about MMOs? Haven't watched his content in a while
It's the smelly guy who lives in a pile of garbage, or not? I can't believe people care what he thinks, aside from maybe video games. But even then, i'd look for a better role model
I don't know why you get downvoted. He literally lives with cockroaches.
What's this about the cockroach thing? I've seen it mentioned a few times. I'm out of the loop.
As I've said already. He lives with cockroaches, and he thinks that's totally normal.
He showed his room on a stream before and it is disgusting. I didn't hear about cockroaches but its not surprising.
He's just a genuine moron.
I don't believe he gives much of a shit either way about politics. I think he reacts which ever way he thinks the wind is blowing in order to get more clicks, and thereby, get more money. The only thing I ever saw him get passionate about was when he was going apeshit over Chinese bot-farmers in WoW. I figure Blizzard must have paid him a huge wad to shut him up, because I hardly see him comment on gaming anymore, but I hardly watch him anymore either because he's just too annoying.
Usually you can just google people like that. See if there is some drama out there. Controversy about what they said or reaction videos calling someone out for spreading propaganda. If we're talking about some mainstream streamer (which is the case here) you should be able to find something if it's true.
I'm not sure if you'll find people here, watching him. At least I'm not into watching reaction videos with people just stating the obvious or watching other people play games. It's just uninspiring to me and doesn't seem quality content. But feel free to give some examples of what's bugging you (including context), and maybe someone will have a look at it and analyze it.
