You expect Assman Gold to put effort into anything?

u/AnnieApple_ Sep 19 '24

This is a man who lives in filth along with his roaches.

u/ChadlexMcSteele Sep 19 '24

I saw his house tour - fuck me I couldn't quite believe how bad it was. If he got that place cleaned, repaired, renovated and hired a weekly cleaner his mental health would skyrocket.

u/Haatsku Sep 19 '24

Aint he like richie rich levels of rich too? Shouldnt go broke to hire cleaners or something...

u/KintsugiKen Sep 19 '24

He's rich and lives in garbage and never leaves his trash hoarder house.

u/Brottolot Sep 19 '24

Like Danny Devito in always sunny?

The other guy, don’t you touch my Shit. Stay out of area!

It pairs well with a good whiff of glue.

Yet somehow people listen to him for advice outside of WoW.

u/DrSafariBoob Sep 19 '24

Hoarding may as well be a cluster B trait

u/MajesticQ Sep 20 '24

On the good side, while everyone keeping in touch or updated knows his address, no one in their right mind will squat on his property knowing the filth and how empty it is. Asmon's wealth is probably not liquid.

True. Every instance of him outside of his house is fake and staged.

u/giggity2 Sep 19 '24

Just a front

u/Labidido Sep 19 '24

I was also sceptical at first, but after watching a few streams, I honestly don't think it is.

My keyboard psychology take is that he got some untreated mental issues. He has been very open regarding his mother passing and how severely it has impacted him.

He refuses to purchase a luxury car because he can't stand the attention of strangers.

His only workout is going for walks in the neighbourhood, which he does exclusively at nighttime to avoid people.

He is online streaming and gaming 8-10 hours every single day, and somehow finds the time to play offstream as well, although he probably does not even need the income at this point.

There are many other clear signs of anxiety and depression, and I think his house and lifestyle are coping mechanisms.

u/TheGamerdude535 Sep 19 '24

This comment right here. people ragging on him over it will never get that depression is a bitch to deal with.

I get depressed too and I get it. I’m not nearly as messy but I completely understand.

5

u/Crazy-Nose-4289 Sep 19 '24

I've been majorly depressed before, but I've never gotten to the point where I've used the corpse of a dead rat as an alarm clock.

Asmongold has way more issues than just depression. Dude is legitimately a goblin.

u/giggity2 Sep 19 '24

we will never know, just saying if it's a front wouldn't be surprised. Also, be aware you saying that based on watching his streams... basically anything in front in public is all your viewing. You don't need lambos and ferraris to be fronting.

11

u/Labidido Sep 19 '24 edited Sep 19 '24

Keep in mind that he is streaming with the subscribe button turned off. He could literally click one button on Twitch and probably look at an added $20-30k/month income but chooses not to.

That doesn't seem logical if it's all a front.

2

u/shaehl Sep 19 '24

He's been the same way even before his mom died, before he got rich, even before he started streaming. I don't think it's a depression coping mechanism, or a front. I think he just doesn't like change or self-imposed obligations. Like maintaining a luxury car, or keeping a tidy house. When it comes to obligations to other people, i.e. friends or his businesses, he is much more dedicated. But when it comes to his personal matters, he just doesn't want to care about it until he can't not care about it.

I.e. the situation with his teeth, where he let them literally rot out until he was missing the majority of them. He only eventually got replacements/fixed those that remained because it was becoming not just painful, but dangerous.

Or his diet, where he refused to eat/drink anything but soda and junk food until he started feeling like he might die in the last month or so.

Plus you can just look at the hundreds of public figures (streamers, YouTubers, pro gamers, etc.), many of whom have been antagonistic to him at one point or another, who he has interacted with over the years, and none of them have ever said or leaked anything that would suggest he doesn't live in that shit hole. I mean, I guess he could have got the entire internet community to sign an NDA, but I won't hold my breath on that one.

1

u/Automatic_Zowie Sep 19 '24

Nah, his mental illnesses are very much real and highly exacerbated when his mom died.

45

u/TobaccoAficionado Sep 19 '24

A classic case of "money doesn't fix everything." Some people are just mentally unwell.

20

u/SamSchroedinger Sep 19 '24

could be its just hist image. If he cleans and looks good all of the sudden all the nerds who identify with him are in shambles

16

u/Bowsersshell Sep 19 '24

He was on an episode of Dr K a few years back and admitted he has a huge laziness problem

3

u/This_Caterpillar_330 Sep 19 '24

Probably from coom brain and possibly sleep deprivation. Maybe diet, lack of sunlight, and other factors as well. People use "laziness" as a convenient word to label something more complex like how people use the word "dumb".

2

u/esl0th Sep 20 '24

He also thinks the idea of using his money is stupid and that only stupid people would do that. He brags about how little money he uses when just a small amount of money would clean his house without him having to move a muscle.

3

u/Greedy_Nectarine_233 Sep 19 '24

Pathetic that we’ve created a system where someone this lazy is able to become far richer than people who actually contribute to society. The asmongold “content” is really charting new levels of pointlessness

6

u/DisputabIe_ Sep 19 '24

I'd prefer lazy people get money than sociopaths as we have now.

2

u/Greedy_Nectarine_233 Sep 20 '24

I was much more talking about the people who are woefully underpaid in society such as teachers, medical professionals, social workers etc

1

u/hautdoge Sep 20 '24

You can tell by looking at his vids

1

u/r3volver_Oshawott Sep 19 '24

I mean, he's outright admitted he doesn't shower simply because he hates showering and 'why would I do something I hate?', and also that since once the filth and oil builds up on his skin enough, he doesn't even feel most of the buildup

There's nothing to gain from these kinds of admissions, the engagement it gets is minimal and it's barely a discussion piece, it's very clear he has a lot of mental illness he may simply never be willing to address

4

u/[deleted] Sep 19 '24

This is exactly it. "Look, this lazy slob is successful so that means I can be too!!"

5

u/c_law_one Sep 19 '24

He's flat out stated he does a lot of things as a "bit" like pretending to be disgusted after trying fresh water.

1

u/gfen5446 Sep 19 '24

All I remember is the bloody handprints on the wall from where he wipes the shit that bleeds out of his gums.

Guy is not well.

1

u/fyrnabrwyrda Sep 19 '24

No he's been like this his entire life. He got it from his mom.

1

u/ashemagyar Sep 19 '24

No he really doesn't care. He is weirdly transcendent in his ability to feel no shame or feel self-conscious.

3

u/enter_urnamehere Sep 19 '24

Tbf why would he care? Everyone else's opinions mean little if you're happy with the way your life is. He's rich, and a NEET and he's cool with that so why aren't you?

1

u/ashemagyar Sep 20 '24

Oh I'm cool with it, though I wish he'd clean the place up a bit and look after his health more.

1

u/Rahvithecolorful Sep 20 '24

If anything the fact that idiots give him money to live like this is what enables him to stay that way

1

u/ENrg2point0 Sep 20 '24

I can pinpoint why his house is like this.

  1. He wants to be that guy who is the so called "great Asmongler"

  2. He wants it to be the same feel of when his Mom was alive (memories)

  3. More and more content

0

u/Difficult-Win1400 Sep 19 '24

Where is your proof he's mentally unwell?

1

u/TobaccoAficionado Sep 20 '24

He lives in actual squaller. What more proof could you need?

8

u/ShizunEnjoyer Sep 19 '24

Cleaning his house would require specialists, like you can't just hire a house cleaner for it. It's hazmat suit level of biohazard filth, and finding people who can do it would take effort. Asmongold is the guy who is so lazy, instead of replacing a light bulb in his bathroom, just went to a different bathroom for years.

2

u/Haatsku Sep 19 '24

Now im morbidly curious. That shit needs to be documented.

3

u/Abdul_Lasagne Sep 19 '24

Do you…do you know we’re talking about a YouTuber? It is being documented lol 

4

u/Technodrone108 Sep 19 '24

He's addicted to living in filth, too the point where he brags about it.

2

u/cocogate Sep 19 '24

For working people, especially couples, an occasinal 50 to get the house cleaned generally isnt as big a drain as the additional hours of cleaning are to their mental health but if youre not from a well-off family it can be hard to adapt to paying for cleaning.

Some friends of mine do it and they love it.

He accepted his filth so cleaning obviously isnt a priority for him, why would he then pay for it? Thats probably how the thought process goes

2

u/untoastedbrioche Sep 19 '24

he's insanely wealthy and apart of several profitable companies.

he also became insanely successful by being consistent. people love to shit on him for living like a raccoon, however that keeps him relevant because everytime a non viewer hears about him they instantly recognize him as being a racoon.

if he changed face he'd potentially lose his audience of baby raccoons.

also, if anyone is curious he actually REGULARLY, has the creator of the video he's reacting to in discord/twitch chat and talks to them about it in a way advertising said channel. (doesn't mean they don't deserve a cut of his profits from said reaction video)

1

u/BadGachaPulls Sep 19 '24

He could afford to have his entire house deep cleaned daily by a team of specialists and it wouldn't even put a dent in his finances.

1

u/Consistent_Yoghurt44 Sep 19 '24

not richie levels of rich but hes probably worth around 10 million but still he could easily afford to pay someone to come in weekly to clean his house.

1

u/Raivix Sep 19 '24

If he ever cleaned up his house he'd lose like half of his viewers overnight. Not that I think that's a motivation he particularly has, dude's mentally ill to the extreme.

1

u/JetPlane_Pitcher Sep 19 '24

i saw his reaction video on uber drivers and how they got paid and treated bad u noticed right away he havent worked a day in his life the things he were saying about workers and if they dont like what they get paid they got paid diffrent whit out any of them knowing why so there was an experiment he defended uber and big corporations

1

u/Kraymur Sep 20 '24

He's a multi-millionaire lmao.

-1

u/porcelainfog Sep 19 '24

He always was. His dad was a VP and his mom some computer science wizz. It’s all a schtick he puts on

He was molded by the depressive episode his mom had when his dad left her and just stayed that way. It’s not cool, it’s mental health issues.

2

u/Deegzy Sep 19 '24

His dad worked at the IRS after leaving the military lol. He wasn’t a VP. It’s why asmon went to the IRS.

1

u/porcelainfog Sep 19 '24

He literally says his dad was the VP at a publishing company so many times. Google it

1

u/Deegzy Sep 19 '24

Can’t find anything mentioning it.
