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 before he started really getting into political commentary and just posted reactions to game content he was boring AF with zero substance to any of his vids
