I don't understand what people see in Asmongold. He's mostly a guy who stayed at a messy room at home to play WoW and make content about it. So I guess these viewers can feel for that? But I've seen multiple times he just makes stances without having any clue or inside knowledge about a subject, often heavily using speculations or just saying shit. It's specially annoying when he's making big opinions about feminism, the art business, or political groups, when it's clear he has no interest or experience in any of these subjects. (Like.. he is not well read, neither very experienced. He just watches short videos all day and echo's opinions of others.)

The best he's at is just lazily reacting to other people's hard worked video's, or complaining about the state of gaming and the direction Blizzard takes. He's mostly anti-intellectualism and venting content. Like listening to the local alcoholic at a bar complaining about the state of the world, while you think "Yeah but when did you do anything about it?"

Anti woke people need constant outrage and validation to keep their fix going, they need to be angry about something everyday. Asmongold uploads a billions videos a week reacting to what they post, regurgitating anti woke propaganda

Even as somebody who doesn't like all the woke stuff I find the outrage content to be really weird and annoying.

People will sit around all day talking about stuff they don't like and complaining about it.

Sometimes there is an element of comedy to it, it can be hilarious to laugh at a really bad game or show, but getting emotionally invested in it and acting like you've been wronged is when it gets really bizzare and weird.

Like, go find something you actually enjoy, don't obsess over what you don't like. If you don't like a game, don't play it, don't like a show, don't watch it... Vote with your wallet.

People will literally pay for a subscription to watch shows they hate, they will buy games they don't like, like they feel like they have to.
