This man could farm food in the desert.
Desert? He's Mars farming level by now at the very least.
nothing I love more than 40 year olds complaining about a 20 year old game thats been dead for over a decade
@@liambaker4055 its sad that a game thats been dead for a decade has still managed to stay the top MMO the entire time
He'd have to go outside for that though
@@DrewGunster it's because MMO are not a popular genre anymore... unfortunately. And don't take me wrong, I'm still playing wow every new xpack/season but it's a fact, mmo are not as popular anymore
It’s funny how many people aren’t actually aware that Asmongold doesn’t even touch his own UA-cam channel.
Well hopefully they are aware now as he mention it at the start of this video.
He definitely reads these comments
@@Yambag He doesn't.
@@HowToMolly if there is something his team finds interesting they draw his attention to it.
@@HowToMolly he 100% does. he has talked about it before. guy lays in bed for hours after he wakes up and reads thru all his social
media including youtube comments. Yall who believe these streamers _don't_ read the commens on their own page are funny lol like be real bro.
Oh no someone hates me, time to farm content.
I find it funny people call this content.. Maybe its because english isnt my main language but under word content i picture something actually meaningful
@@cr1ticaL-content is anything that gets views. “ Drama “ is content. Which is what this would be under. It gets views then gets money etc etc
@@cr1ticaL-This is meaningful to him and people who watch him. Not in the sense one random guy said, but in the sense of what most haters are about.
@@cr1ticaL- content is literally just entertainment
@@cr1ticaL- When has content meant something meaningful? Content is content. There's good content and bad content, meaningful content and non-meaningful content. Just say you don't like his content instead of trying to slyly imply that you don't find his content meaningful.
I felt the same way after my 19 year old son died. I lost interest in playing World of Warcraft. My wife wanted to continue in his memory but I just needed to move on. He died right before Warlords of Draenor. He was looking forward to the Orc lore. Kinda played Legion for a month and quit permanently.
sorry for your loss
I’m sorry, man. I can’t imagine.
Sorry to hear about your loss
god bless you and your family ❤
I have a son too and hes alive. I laugh in ur pain.
Redditors criticizing people about only spreading negativity is very ironic tbh.
Generalization is the mother of fascism
True
Reddit is mostly a cesspool lol.
@@BassCommunion dogshit take
They’re right about assmon tho lol
Love him or hate him. He can farm the shit out of it no matter what and we are all for it
you godda be good at something they say
Yeah he plays Skyrim music in the background yet dropped the game 2 minutes in.
@@toshtao1He doesn't touch his channel. That's all editors
@@toshtao1 Skyrim music is elite. I could never finish FF15 but I sleep to Somnus from time to time
@@toshtao1 its simple really, if you find gold in a garbage dump do you only take the gold or also the garbage dump?

And making him money
Get farmed 😂
Asmon is very good at saying things that are technically 100% correct in the most rage bait-ey way possible to enrage random twitter people who only read titles, watch 10second out of context clips and only have a vague idea of who Asmongold is.
Because of this he will always stay in the headlines, while never getting in any real trouble over what he said, as people will immediately get what he actually meant if they watch the full video in its full context.
he looks pretty weak to me idk about you
asmond is in the business of making people happy and making people angry and business is booming!
higher view count = thinking he's right..
Let the games begin.
the only wow content i miss are the transmog contests/mount offs. those were funny af
Yeah, the tmogs were great but I haven’t wanted to play wow since vanilla wrath. That’s all I did once tmog became available was just hunt down better looking armors.
True and real
@@Kid_Charlemagne As much as transmog was cool to me I think it subtracted more from the game that added. I liked seeing those odd pieces of armor or gear on people, it was weird and murderhobo crap but it had odd charm. It might be cope as fuck but overall I feel like transmog hurt the game more than it helped the game.
@@Alphascrub_77you’re right. It was one of the nails in the coffin of the game. Your appearance said nothing about your character anymore and blizzard gave up on making cool armor sets
Agreed, very very few items comebout that look better to replace old sets. Removed a huge motivation for ppl to strive for new gear. Game feels so hollow these days, they cut out most reasons to stay invested.@Spit823
Man i really felt what asmon said about his memories with his mom and how it affects him with wow. Wow was no longer fun for me when my best friend passed away end of BFA, we spent everyday playing wow and other games together doing all nighters etc. I would give a limb to go back in time and enjoy just 1 more day of it.
i never take anything he says too seriously, he's just an entertaining bald man to watch
5:50 asmon basically tell us to stop wasting our time to watch streamers including him hours and hours to start thinking about our career
its a really good advice tbh, too bad nobody is listening to it otherwise we wouldnt be here lol
He’s always had that opinion. He has said many times that watching Twitch is a waste of your time.
@@Knight3434
He’s always meant it towards the people that have nothing going on and are unhappy with their lives.
There are videos from 2019 where he talks about people living unfulfilled lives and just sit around all day, not just necessarily on Twitch but in general just being unhappy and wasting time instead of trying to improve their situation.
It’s very general advice, kind of like when people who are overweight who complain about being overweight, instead of working out and losing weight they just complain.
It’s solid advice, Asmon is right and people take things too seriously. 😐
@@Gundumb781I'm only here when I'm taking dump.
If you have hours and hours to watch streams, you've already fucked up.
Hatred only fuels Asmon’s bank account.
💯😂😂
It's like the Ghostbusters 2 ooze but slightly more bald.
yea he's sitting on millions and still lives in a dump. What does he even use his money for? I understand not caring for material things but at least don't risk your health living in filth.
Nah...just his stupidity
@@kingpharaoh84WTF are you trying to ignorantly say?!?!
The catch up gear is a good point. It doesnt feel valuable to farm out BIS when next patch they are gonna add catch up gear so your gear is now pointless when you coulda invested 1/4 of the time for the same result
You cant clear anything challenging with the catch up gear... I've never used it. BiS from previous season is always way better than any catchup gear
Only thing he does that actually annoys me is when he identifies where a conversation is going and dismisses the nuances that are actually worth exploring in order to make a joke he's used 20+ times. Everything else is just to aid the grifting.
Not that I don't believe you but what are you referencing specifically?
Can you give an exemple of that?
He does this expertly to the degree people don't notice unless they're looking for it.
When you're in agreement with someone, minor things get sweeped by.
He speaks in generalities most of the time. No one wants to get bogged down in the minutiae of subjects.
@@DeviantDespot And as a result, many people go their entire lives without having more than 2 meaningful conversations.
So he used to be good at the game? Ok? Why hate on a dude for that, so weird. The jealousy omg
16:32 Rare stupid Asmon take. I watch UA-cam videos to see other people's viewpoints etc. and I obviously don't know If I agree with them before clicking the video. Other than that sometimes UA-cam autoplays u into a video u don't want to watch or if u hover over a video on ur TV and see the first few seconds through the thumbnail it already counts as a view.
Yup. I do think a lot of people agree with his feeling towards the game but corelating view count with people agreeing was such a weird take.
@@BorsecannWell that and also the whole reason we have the term rage bait is because its click baiting for hate views lol
@@acen486 Pretty much all content on any platform is basically around a formed opinion of the creator who then puts that on display for viewers to consume. Does not matter if it is about cooking , gardening, sports, games or anything else. And the viewer is the one who decides whether his reaction is objective and open for dialogue or subjective or even hateful. Nothing about Asmons content is hateful, disrespectful or negative in any kind. He care very much about how he formulates things but he also stands for his takes. Good for him. This is what society lacks. Only the viewer is the one who decides if content is received as an offense. So the reception is subjective. And anonymity on platforms like youtube helps people to be a version of themselves they never would show in person. I never saw anyone walking by a shoe shop shouting "fuck you, your shoes are shit". This never happens. Only on the internet. UA-cam is not here to make everyone feel and think the same. It is here to share. And some people cannot make their mind around that. If there are things you dont like, dont consume them. Who would buy a tuna salad if they dont like the taste. Pretty simple. Things can co-exists even if they are opposite. Accepting, that other people think and feel different and that this is ok and forms no threat is too difficult for some out there. Unfortunately.
I miss LAN parties so much. Back in those times it was in person and gaming together, there was a personal component there that got lost with fast internet and the death of internet cafes.
people agreeing with you isn't exactly a good defense, tons of people agreed with hitler and mussolini,. i'm right because people agree with me is some hard fucking cope.
Asmon’s career advice is always bad. He doesn’t know what it’s like for the normal working person because he never really experienced it. His advice is always stuff like “just go find job you love and pays lots of money” oblivious to the fact those jobs are unbelievably rare.
Work on finding a job you won't hate doing for half your life is bad advice nowadays? He even said that it's not easy but you have 30 years to do it so I really don't understand the issue. It just sounds like an excuse.
Is it very rare ? Yes. Is it hard ? Yes. Should you strive for it ? Yes.
So how is it bad advice ?
@@Borsecann If the internet has taught me anything it's that people love to nitpick things to try and justify why things aren't going right for them. Plus it's always way easier to say that won't work when someone gives you advice. It actually takes work to try and do what Asmongold is recommending.
@@funk0tronno kidding. We liven in a world where everyone is a victim and cannot do anything for themselves. And hate everyone who worked for anything. Or immediately assume everything was given to that other person on a silver platter.
I worked my ass off doing something I love making 360/month in grad school to get as close to my dream job as possible. That dream job paid me $50k a year in 2014 and now I’m making 6 figures after working hard and getting promoted.
You can’t just sit back and relax and expect things to fall in your life. You have to grind. Hard work sets you free
So theyre mad because you have a full spectrum of opinions that aren't constricted to just positive opinions?
That completionism comment hits too close to home for me. I was the same, happy to try to get all achieves and farm mounts and then around WoD i started seeing these insane gold cost or grindy mechanisms and legion basically 100% killed achievement farming for me. Too hard to get 2 million gold for 1 mount, too hard to grind achievements when my artifact power grind required time every day.
I started in legion, my completionism is farming old content and the only current content i do is stuff that is limited or farming gold. Current content isnt that fun
"It is what it is "
Only when it comes to him tho
No? In the very first part of thos video he's telling people they should make a career that makes them happy. To focus on themselves and not worry. It's crazy how someone can speak and you can't understand the very language you speak.
Thats what asmon is, he is the embodiment of "it is what it is" as a person
It ain't what it ain't
I must admit, Asmongold often has insightful perspectives on a wide array of topics. However, since he began focusing on reaction content, it appears his success may have inflated his ego.
It also doesn't help that he has such a massive influence on others the way he speaks that it does create a reaction good or bad. If he actually doesn't care as much as he says, he would not choose his words carefully and clearly shows he just doesn't care, he just wants the money.
@@Marc-master-of-the-reef Yes obviously that is the reason we all work lol
He used to be so much better. He has gotten so weird and obnoxious
people are just tired of censorship and moral policing, dont act surprised when people tell you to shut up old man
In my studies to become a therapist, a key phrase that has really stuck with me is "the 'and-ness' of things"... you can be happy, nostalgic and mad, you can enjoy something AND resent it in its own way. There are so many different ways to see things they forget that in this realm of opinion and emotion, both can exist and be as true as the next thing.
I think Asmon articulated himself well, but the chances of the depths of the bottom of the barrel in reddit who are stuck within the realm of their own confirmation bias, won't be able to accept an opinion that is other than their own stance.
@@AmyZonkerssomeone needs therapy it seems 💀
@@AmyZonkersNot really, they are spot. It's a major issue with pretty much an form of online social media. The moment you start to argue against the general consensus people will internally shut you out as wrong because you don't have the same opinion on something they do.
An echo chamber is the perfect representation of this as people tend to flock to those who have similar opinions.
@@AmyZonkers Thank you for your knee jerk reaction of a reply. If you spent longer than 5 seconds reading my comment you might of noticed your own lack of ability in studying, namely that of being able to read.
Part of my comment was something said to me by my tutor in private I am rather impressed you were somehow there to say I was incorrect in my quote.
I'm guessing you perhaps were provoked by the bit about confirmation bias - whilst simultaneously demonstrating how motivated you are to be spiteful based on your own bias. Funny how that works. ;)
@@brothatscrazy3418 Glad you understood my point :D
I was a bit confused seeing as most of my reply was around feeling multiple emotions at once, which is pretty ordinary for most humans XD
We all play games to distract, escape and rest up, but for some it becomes their only haven to exist... it's quite obvious why there will be people who resist any notion against their place of online refuge, so to that degree people like Asmon will forever get heat from these people, whether he plays too much or too little, those same people will always be triggered at the risk he poses to their online space and shatter their illusion they've composed for themselves and like minded people within the echo chamber.
Even my tiny reply from little ol' me had someone wanting to shut me down because it confronted them with reality. It's unfortunate and there's little to be done about it.
@@AmyZonkers You are 100% correct. Every Therapist in existence has been trained and tutored at Uni. It would be extremely ignorant for me to think I was exempt! XD rofl
I disagreed. My argument was that you shouldn't ban drawn depictions just because they're something that would be illegal in real life. There are a lot of illegal activities in drawn and animated media. Murder, torture, SA, and gambling as examples. I personally hate loli garbage, but I don't need it banned for my sake.
Edit: I don't hate Asmon or his take either. I liked the original video, and I will like this. It made me question my line of thinking, and that's the beauty of watching someone who you don't ALWAYS agree with.
It shouldn't be banned. But people who interact with it should be put on a list and be observed more than normal by the government.
Also I have nothing against it being banned, it is just considered CP where I live, people have been convicted for possession. And I have no problem with that.
The topic about characters in fictional content is where Asmongold misses the point. Drawings of characters are not real people and to conflate the two is essentially as simple-minded and ignorant as the average Joe. To compare an anime drawing or a game character with a real person, when artsy visuals have no relationship with their age, is disingenuous.
The main reason most settings in many games (notably japanese) and the characters in these tend to be around the 17-18 mark is because they tend to be targeted at teenagers but then when you look at the character models and designs, some games they look like they're 14, others they look like they're 20+ at least.
Yes, I agree, that you probably wouldn't want your kid around someone that reads H manga or plays H games if you're a normie. But that has nothing to do with the age of the characters or their sexualization. Normies wouldn't want their kid around someone that reads or watches regular P**rn if they knew either. They also wouldn't let their kid around someone that engages in violent activities. It's not a judgement of character or intent, rather an inherent bias towards things they don't understand, don't want to understand or don't have the time to understand. In some cases it is understandable as you are trying to protect your kid from potential harm. ANY harm. If the person even remotely seems fishy, in any respect, you'll want to keep them at bay, regardless of what you do or do not know about that person. It's why you see so many stories about how "we never saw it coming" or "x was such a nice person", because people focus on the shallow surface image than the actual character and integrity of the person.
While I can at least understand the backwards logic in a real-life scenario, it's when he effectively agrees (as in, he doesn't see it as a problem) with the removal and censorship of mods on the basis of morality that he "crossed the line" so to speak. That is precisely why many people pushed back on that video, because it is disingenuous. If you're going to make a moral judgement for a mod on the basis of a made up number to signify a character's maturity, then it is just as fair to make a moral judgement on every game that contains and "glorifies" the use of weapons to do unspeakable acts. Yet one of these two, which is far more natural (read in our nature and a natural aspect of any species) is somehow seen as more reprehensible and worthy of disdain than the one which is unnatural.
It's not about morality specifically. Where I live, drawn CP is still CP. People have been jailed for it, for a long time. Also, committing crimes in a game doesn't make you a criminal, but being attracted to a fictional child does mean that you're a pedophile.
@@ForOne814 I don't know where you live, but wherever it is, it's either the exception, you're making a sweeping and broad generalization to include things that are not relevant, or you are making things up, because in most places, including America, clearly fictional content is not punishable as you describe it and it is not considered C to the P. Your double-standard analysis on "attraction to fictional character" also suggests you are making shit up on the internet.
@@vtxshiva in most places regular porn is illegal, the West is the exception. Possession of CP is illegal, and it's a different crime to production of it. Why should possession of drawn CP be legal? What's the difference?
It's not double-standard. If you specifically seek out realistic depictions of torture, for example, it means that you probably enjoy it. It means that you're probably a sadist. If you specifically seek out sexualized depictions of children, it means that you're a pedophile. If you like playing GTA or watching anime it means that you like GTA and anime.
@@vtxshiva I think UK and Switzerland one of those places where it's illegal but not that enforced. Melonpan got arrested in Switzerland (his home country) for it in 2018 but few days later he was free.
@@ForOne814 I don't think the world or most people are ready to have a serious discussion on this topic. It mostly boils down to being able to fully separate reality from fiction. And sadly most people are unable to do so, and that being the case I agree that some things are best to not exist purely for gratification such as you mentioned (Emphasis on existing for gratification, I do believe such topics can be used from a storytelling and artistic perspective in fiction)
Video games have been a huge formative part of my life since I was about 5 years old or so. I am now 30 years old with a wife and son, and I still greatly appreciate and enjoy video games, but I have made them an appropriately sized part of my life. They are something I do in spare time to enhance my enjoyment and to spend time bonding with my family as we play together often. Gone are the days of shirking all my responsibilities to play video games while the rest of my life suffered. My life used to revolve around video games. Now, video games revolve around my life, and I’m proud of the way my life is. Asmon is right, put the games down and focus on your life for a while. Try new things, improve your position in life, then go back to video games later when you can healthily afford to spend a little extra time on them. This is the way.
true, but there is also nothing wrong with placing value in being good at video games. Just because he grew out of it, does not mean other people cant enjoy that.
@@Ratched64 I think he’s more so addressing the kind of people who shame other people for not being as good at video games as they are, or act like it makes you somehow better or more important because you are good at them.
Well said. They are also great for making you shut off and decompress so you can go back to work and family refreshed by the game. I recently got baldurs gate 3 and fell in love like I haven’t in a long time. Being good at a video game is not something you’re going to want on your tombstone. Loving husband and father is what I want on mine.
I love how people will write a comment filled with negativity and complaining just to claim someone else is negative. Hypocrisy at its best
"I gave up games to do things that are more meaningful" *talks about fake twitter drama for three hours a day*
He STILL is being hypocritical about lolicon lol.
It's his right not liking stuff that is clearly weird. And what is hypocritical about is opinion about lolicon?
@@Pokeringo He played the game of “what if it were real”, but only as an argument against something he dislikes.”
@@JamesP7 Can't remeber he played a game like that. Does this game even exist with this title? And in what context is he hypocritical playing this game and disliking lolicon?
@@Pokeringo I mean “game” as in a ‘logical’ argument. On the video he pointed out on his channel over mods.
Hearing Asmon make fun of people who care about being good at a game, meanwhile its what got him here. The cognitive dissonance is real. I get what he means because he's not no lifing wow anymore. People shouldn't say he's bad. Telling me to grow up may be true but the whole reason i got into watching Asmon was because he was a neet too
Honestly Asmon is so right here 7:01 . I spent almost 10k hours on Dota 2 just to be really good at it and in the end, I got nothing meaningful out of it. I wasted so much time in learning the meta and getting high MMR when in reality I was no near Pro-level or even streamer-level. For many games, getting really good is just a waste of time. Games are meant to be fun.
I'm 32 years old now and haven't touched Dota in 4 years. I feel like I should get a coin to commemorate the 4 years.
Same boat here but with league, coming up on 28 and always been a platinum/diamond player top 5% of player base but nowhere good enough to monetize or anything. Barely touch the game anymore honestly, just with friends on occasion. I much prefer to play something enjoyable now days or relax with my girlfriend and play some no build fortnite.
@@oRyner I played league for a long time and i can hit challenger any time i want, every time i come back its harder because i am getting older and i am caring less. I came back to league over year ago and hit challenger but i used a lot of time. This season i hit masters with 70% winrate but i put in a lot of time practicing mechanics and watching videos before going into solo q. I enjoy the game but i am not enjoying the game unless i am try harding. My friends want to play aram with me but i take aram so seriously and i end up not having fun. I'll be honest, if i could trade my ranking for being able to just enjoy league again i would.
I think that even if the majority of viewers don't totally agree with his perspective, what he says resonates with them in some way. He is not always right, but what he says causes you to think and engage with the topic critically.
27:35 forgive my ignorance but is there really a correlation between liking loli stuff and being an actual threat to children? I'm not sure I buy this. Usually people that harm kids are in positions of power in relation to the minors such as being their teachers, mentors, priests, coaches etc. And those guys don't strike me as the types who would consume anime or loli content. In fact, in Japan they call these types of Otaku "herbivorous" because they're so deep into their animes that they don't even get any gratification from real life human beings.
My point is, if we're taking who I would trust my kids with, I don't think the loli Otaku would be any more dangerous than some normie guy that's used to power. If you have to pick one of the two, who would you pick to babysit your kids? a loli otaku or a coach/priest/teacher?
The latter.
There might not be a direct correlation, but it's an extremely painfully bright red flag. They might never act on their attraction, but they obviously have one if loli is one of their interests.
Also, I am instantly suspicious of anyone that runs defense on this crap. Makes me wonder about their motivations.
It's funny to me the most toxic person back in the day who talked shit about being bad this or that in raids ALL THE TIME now doesn't play wow because it's " too hard " it's fucking ironic and funny as hell.
Asmon is lucky he built up his audience years ago, if he started from scratch in today's environment I doubt he would have the same success.
That part about your mom really got to me, when i played wow as a kid it was something I did with my dad and brothers. my relationship with my dad went sour over the years and when I think about playing wow again it takes me back to that time and it kinda hurts too much to the point where I couldn't enjoy it. I feel the same way about some n64 games. Those times waren't perfect but the games was something I hold dear to my hearth forever even tho I don't play them anymore.
Friend if your parents are still living, you should reach out & try to repair that relationship. It’s never too late… until it’s really too late. If they’ve done something very bad, well.. none of us want to be judged by our worst day, right?
Also, it's fair to mention. Asmon says he sucks at videos games but he is actually way above the average level of gamer. Maybe he sucks compared to pros. But he actually is a decent gamer. I think in Season 2 wow he ran some +25 keys. That is basically in the top 1% of gamers. So he's def underplaying his skill. But with that said he's right, being good isn't the only thing that matters.
I 100% understand asmon opinion and I respect it.
In my opinion, just like the GTA thing. Just because someone likes underaged anime/game characters sexually doesn't mean that person is like real life underaged people. It just doesn't work like that.
Not everything that simple.
If seeing an animated kid getting the nsfw treatment makes you irl hard, thats a direct irl correlation, and yer not safe with kids.

"Multiversal level gobbler"😂😂
About hiring someone who watches loli content as a babysitter. People gave asmongold a grand theft auto example about giving a driving license to someone who plays that game and completely dismisses it but then further proceed to push for the loli babysitter.
Personally I feel sorry for the people who live day to day with the expectation that nobody is ever going to say or do something that offends them. Asmongold just tells his opinion, and you have every right to agree/disagree... but he still gets to have and express his own. I like when people don't live in fear of expressing their opinions. This is a good thing.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Wow I have never seen Asmon actually get offended, That comment that said he was good 10 years ago and he responded with yea but how much money do you have cause I have a lot. Surprisingly out of form from him.
Yeah that didn’t sit right with me either. If this new version is “rich Asmongold,” I’m not sure how long he’ll retain his popularity 😂
I think what Asmon doesn't get about Loli is the same thing people don't get about furry in general. I'm not into Loli but as a furry we see this all the time too, people think if you're into furry especially feral you're going to rape animals, when in reality the attraction isn't just about what they look like it's also consciousness, when you see a donkey irl it's not the same as a donkey pic where it's blushing and giving you the f' me eyes. Loli it's the same thing, these characters don't have minds of a child they're essentially adults in the body of children. if you don't get what I'm saying just look up Harkness test, it pretty much covers this. I still don't personally get it but from my understanding most loli con content isn't about a scared child getting raped with no understanding of what is actually happening just like most feral furry porn isn't about a dead eye'd soulless animal getting f'ed. Don't get me wrong that art does exist and it's disgusting but it's disingenuous to associate liking that with everyone who enjoy loli/furry content.
I skip the bad take video only to end up still hearing it in another video. He always magically conjures up something and declares it as “immutable truth” to defend his point. The one in this video being that people naturally see violence in video games (which is actually an immutable truth btw) as unequivalent to violence in real life but his magical truth prevents this from being compared to Loli body types in video games to children in real life (there is an immutable truth with this but he doesn’t recognize it). It really comes across like that friend who says some stupid shit like “gee your sister is so hot, if I had a sister I would date her”. Anyone who actually has someone of the opposite gender grow up with them knows very very well how entirely separate a family member and a romantic interest are, merely the suggestion is enough to make you want to puke. But of course the outside perspective doesn’t have this insight into this real actual barrier that exists and completely doesn’t understand.
In my opinion Asmongold does not understand this because, as far as I can tell, he has a very small family without a lot of ties. From what I have heard after many years, he has a father and a mother, one of whom has unfortunately passed, but nonetheless as far as I am aware he does not have many close (if any) relatives who have children. There is something fundamentally adorable about children, notice I say adorable, because it is a word I think is extremely far from the word cute. An adorable thing is something whose simple actions, no matter how silly or goofy bring joy, something that you enjoy making happy because you gain your own happiness in even in your old burdened adult life through making them smile. This is an ideological barrier that the concept of loli does not penetrate, you don’t raise a loli character from birth and it ceases to exist the moment the screen ends. It doesn’t grow, it doesn’t develop, it doesn’t have a future that inspires you to do better for them. It is on every stage fundamentally detached from a real life child. This is an immutable trait of the mind that is generally garnered through exposure to younger siblings growing up and relatives children at family gathering. I can understand why Asmongold has never garnered this immutable barrier in his mind as he is not exposed to this in the same way that the average person is, so even if I disagree with his perspective on the mods, I can see why he holds it. At a surface level this immutable barrier isn’t going to be visible to him as much as the “violence in video games” one which is formed by everyone we know playing games all their life and growing up normally.
It honestly does worry me though, a lot of people who staunchly talk about this sorta stuff end up caught with the exact things they chastise people for (see the recent vaush situation). But yeah anyway, read it or don’t, feels good to let my comment out even if he won’t read it.
Wow he actually ran from the discussion. Modding should be always - you do you. Only actual law can tell you what you can and can't do
@@drinks1550 English is not my primary language I'm sorry. What's the correct form?
He didn't run from the question he just concluded that if you use nsfw mods on underage kids he wouldn't want you around kids
@@fyecofi It's virtual characters, you can't use mods on real life
@@ergonsahar There is no law that can tell you to accept wierdos around your kids.
@ergonsahar that doesn't matter he still wouldn't want you around kids. what's hard to understand lmfao
That thread was a ceritified reddit moment lmao, unbelievable how jealous and salty they are. Not only is the sub filled with people who can't handle criticism of their lovely game, they are OBVIOUSLY mad that some of their largest content creators aren't actively playing anymore.
Why would you take criticism of a game seriously from someone who doesn't play it lol That's like "I beat the first horseman boss in Elden Ring but let me tell you why the whole game is dogshit"
@@Metaphix Because in Asmon's case, he's played it around since 2007? He has played DF and follows news obviously, why can't he comment on it lmao? That's not remotely comparable to not even having beaten 3% of a game. Asmon has played wow for 15 years++. And why the hell would they play it when the game has been so mid for like 10 years in a row now?
Watched a random Asmon video, found his use of reasoning throughout his discussions on various topics refreshing. I was shocked because he is so hated. Now watch him every day.
I think the copious amounts of smooth brained individuals that rage at this dude are a living meme.
Yes I agree. He does have some bad takes sometimes that I don't agree with and that's fine.
Asmon is basically the enemy of emotional non-thinkers. The ones who feel and talk rather than listen, think and then talk.
@@Borsecann You both said what I was thinking about this.
I like games but they're just games and there are fewer and fewer good ones being made.
I actually barely watch his gaming stuff, I'm in it because he thinks critically and speaks his mind...and usually he's 100% correct.
"I think the copious amounts of smooth brained individuals" damn, you actually think youre smart for watching a twitch streamer.
@@buzzinggz556 The bar to be smarter than the smooth brains who rage about Asmongold is... very low. You sure thought you were saying something there.
@@LibraritheWizardOfficial your ego is inflated
19:00 I think the low viewcount comes from the thumbnail/title thingy. I saw that and didnt really know what it was about - something with anime this that or the other and couldnt be bothered...i think would i have known what it was about, i might have watched it actually.
I have similar memories with my father and he passed 2 years ago. Since then my interest in games has just completely disappeared. I never took the time to even think about all the memories I had with my dad playing them when I was younger up until I was 18.
The hardest thing about mythic raiding is accessibility (at least when I played it). Gathering 20 people with the same goal, not having cross realm access right away, sharing a lockout...all very annoying and unfair. The process of just getting to the point where you're able to do those things is time consuming. It feels like they cater to their top guilds and the hell with everyone else.
One of the things people might not realize about r/wow is that the mods on there are extremely overzealous. You will get your posts deleted if they disagree with them, and find some bullshit connection to one of the rules you have to squint your eyes to even see. Thus, the people who actively post on there are mostly people who agree with whatever the mods are feeling at that point in time. Otherwise you won't ever see the post unless you're on there sorting by new and constantly refreshing it. Most of the reasonable wow players left that subreddit a long time ago, like years ago. You can find evidence of this on the Blizzard forums how people not on the subreddit feel about the subreddit. The mods distilled their community down to the toxic residue.
Really cool to see content creator growing up at the same time as fans
1. You generally don't want to leave your kids with strangers.
2. How I decide whether or not someone is a potential threat without deluding into the slippery slope is that I judge them individually and look at how much a person is into their medias.
My decisions vary if a home intruder is inside or outside my house.
Right, I wouldn’t want to leave my kids with a convicted murderer any less or more than a convicted predator. You can’t black and white this situation.
@@randy3995Honestly, it's insane to me that people out there genuinely think that a grown ass man that is into loli content is a normal human being. Wtf is going on.
More importantly:
1. You're not going to review a babysitter's media consumption, especially to the degree to which you question what their sexual kinks and fetishes are, and how violent their movies are.
2. If you are distrustful of babysitters, then get a friend or family member.
3. Child abuse actually more often comes from trusted people: friends and family.
4. Wait shit what the fuck.
i agree asmon is becoming more unwatchable lately, increased amount of bad takes and just banning anyone he disagrees with. he's changing for the worse.
Rank 1 Parse is actually hardest thing to do in game. One of the only things ive never got.
getting rank 1 parse now depends if your guild buffs you with PI's and aug and other stuff
To be fair getting a rank one parse during early progression in a fast guild is feel inflates the chances of getting a good variance pull, and snag a rank 1 easier. I remember in WoD I had a few rank 1s in BRF, but it was only because 18 or idk 70(etc) other ferals had killed the boss so far etc lol🤣
If you wouldn't have wasted time having a life, you could have got that rank 1 parce.
It's luck based to an absurd degree, for example I had a few Legion #1 parses on fire mage due to getting stupidly lucky with my first 2 legendaries being the BiS ones and insane pyretic incantation luck (artifact weapon trait that increased your crit damage as long as you chain crit).
Yes you still have to cheese as much as possible depending on the boss, yes you have to play perfectly, but crit, proc and boss mechanic luck will always be a huge factor.
@@k9tirion927 there's no luck in df. The only luck is if raid leader gives you external CDs or not
He used to talk shit about people, that are exactly like he is today. Now he talks shit about people, who are like him back then. Instead of being a rich dick about it, he could talk about it in a different way people would understand and don’t get upset about it. As a red pill myself, asmon himself was a blue pill boy but started becoming slightly red pill aware, and now shits on blue pill boys. I get it, but his audience is a bunch of blue pill boys where if he speaks like a red pill guy, they won’t understand. He may lose viewers/money over this, time will tell though. Lastly the thing about his viewed videos, most of us selective viewers/not subscribed to his channel, are only going to click on videos we know about. If it’s about wow, top g, maybe trump, I’ll click on the video. If it’s about a random ass game or some Reddit shit I don’t care to watch asmon nor his content because most of his takes are bad anyway.
I was going to hop on here and have a look at whatever he's talking about see what's really going on. I've only made it about 7 Minutes in and I'm not even going to try to finish this video. I know you're very rich. I know you made a lot of money streaming. And I still find it very shocking that you give two s**** about what anybody on Reddit has to say about you. Really seems like it might have just been a slow day for him and he had nothing else to talk about so he goes into a big dye tribe about how great he is and how much money he makes and how these people are so far beneath them. I'll catch the next video thanks
This video shows Asmon slowly losing connection to his audience
Loosing...
His audience isn't the wave of wannabe CIA agents and their bots trying to derail him with any topic he touch
Pretty sure you're looking for the word losing, using "loosing" in this context is wrong.

The classic, It's completely different now lets talk to the most insane people who are against what I'm saying so when I make them look dumb in front of thousands of people it further proves I'm correct. Loli is okay just as murder in videogames is okay, don't let Asmon make you think different. And yes I will still be watching Asmons content, I'm an adult Just because I don't agree with everything someone says doesn't mean I can't find value or enjoyment from them or their content.
haters still think they can cancel him while hes monetize them...
People have a problem with people who are highly intelligent and with people who try to speak the truth over comforting lies. Asmon fits both of these angles.
he said he's not good at games - like by tryharding and spending all your braincells and time in trying to be the top server best player or something like that - like he was before when he was young. He said that he is in a different phase of his life, that it is best for him to focus on getting the best from the games he is playing and try to make it work in his life, where you can enjoy the game and benefit yourself from the positive aspects of gaming, for him it was streaming and etc, I can't explain it like he did...
My problem is, I am in the transition between tryharding and fitting games in a positive way in my life... I tryhard in every game I play since I was like 11 years old, and now I am 24, need to work and study and tryharding most of the time is stressing me out and making me lose focus on my life, in the last years I stopped playing because I lack this balance but I miss it so hard, but I'm addicted to tryharding, I can't play except if I'm winning or if I'm good, like it is my personality trait or it is my "enjoying-game" condition
I know Asmon usually wants to go back and enjoy when he was crazy for playing like that, and I still feel the adrenaline in playing and enjoying some games like the first time, but the tryhard takes so much time and stress me that I don't want to like that anymore, how do I skip this young phase and go to the chill phase?
Exactly in the same spot man, I'm 21 and the last time i played a game was 2 years ago... I miss it so hard, but had to stop because i can't control myself to not tryhard and be good at the game, i wish i could focus as much in my real life goals as much as i do in tryharding a game, but i feel that if i start playing again i won't progress in real life.
It sucks that whenever i sit to play i can't really enjoy it because it feels like i am wasting my time
@@will2028 yes, I also feel that I never get bored while playing so I always want to play instead of study or work and sometimes is fun but sometimes is stressing, I mean, can be stressing and exciting at the same time
Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.
Don't get me wrong, I really enjoy your content and watching you play games is fun, but watching you getting so full of yourself is a bit painful.
I find anime characters attractive, I don't find kids attractive. If you can't tell the difference that's your problem. Anime characters are hyper stylized compared to real people, there is a reason why "2D is better than 3D" is a meme. Most loli characters, regardless of their depicted age, still have the figure of a post pubescent female, albeit usually petite. And petite girls above the age of consent do exist in real life. The problem with fictional characters is that the "age" of the character is solely dependent on the author. There is no reason why a character that is given an age below the age of consent couldn't also be a depiction of a character above the age of consent.
As a side note, and I'm not accusing you of this, but I find it funny how the ones that are so vehemently against Loli usually turn out to be the ones that get caught with real CP.
why on earth does Asmon talk about shit like this for and hour and 20 minutes. holy shit, make it 10mins and move on
Imagine being a Blizzard fanboy in 2024 lol. I played og Blizzard games for almost 25 years. Classic WoW, TBC, Wrath, Diablo 1-2, Starcraft 1-2, Warcraft 1-2-3-Throne, Heartstone and still my only moba HoTS. Damn I probably played 50k hours of Blizzard games. But I would never defend them nowadays. There's nothing wrong with thinking their next expansion will be bad and dead. They have to prove themselves again.
I mean the title is stupid as fuck but that’s every title on this channel lol. They think it’s necessary for the UA-cam algorithm but it really isn’t. Zack applauds his editors as if they’re doing something cute but it’s really just lazy
Im almost 40 and i never wanted to just get super good or cared i was living life before gaming
I used to spend every waking moment not in class or at work playing WoW. I loved playing the MMO and loved the idea of it. Later, though, I couldn't enjoy any group type content as it always felt like I had to be a professional player or would get kicked. Then, at some point, it just felt that all games were just remakes of the same formula over and over again - just with a heftier price tag each time a new game console came out. I still play some games from time to time but the gaming industry, for me anyway, feels like one of those malls that has one or two last holdout shops in it. Maybe I'm just not playing the right ones but gaming in general doesn't have the same feel as it used to in those early WoW days.
I watch your vids cause you give good feedback but the way you play games is frustrating your just so slow
he is okay with killing real babies but then he somehow care about the not existed "Kids" ( dont dont look anything like real kids) ironic
fetsus's aren't babies. pick up a science book.
Painfully cringe watching and listening to the smirking self fluffing for sooooo long. Yikes!
This is why I watch his content.
Man's a good gamer. Can be debatable for some people, but who cares.
Man's got his shit together.
More importantly, he's happy with what he's doing, honestly he's the best content creator I've seen in a long time.
This man could farm water in a desert.
I farmed this comment.
For me the funniest thing about this all is that, people aren't even mad because Asmon is bad at wow (he probably ain't, idk about the game); they are mad because they know he's right.
The game won't ever be what it once was, no matter what, and damn that must piss them off so bad.
People just get worse at video games as they get older. I think WoW is a bad example because that game is more just about how much time you're willing to waste.
Yeah, i got 0.1%-1 parses for heroic/mythic+ gear level on our server and got to be #2-7 in server for spec in mythic+ keys passed. But top 0.1-1% parses in heroic are honestly 1-10% parses for mythic.
There wasn't a raiding scene with 90% of players gone in no cross faction raiding, non 24/7 mythic raiding since they deliberately closed off cross faction /cross server raiding to sell 20$ server transfers in wow.
So quit the game. But you could get +30% by just optimizing your gear with a dps sim, then +30-270% more dps by gearscore, then +20-50% more dps with rotation.
Rotation still mattered, but 2.7x the dps from gear could make more for a dps counter than a 1.2-1.5x from proper rotation.
As someone with no drive or ambition but has an ok job. Im resigned to this life. I have no clue how to get out of it, so i quit worrying about it. If i get too old to work, im just guna off myself anyway
I'm not saying it should really be a priority for most people but this new sentiment he's got on "it's just a game" when he's talking about how important it is to be good at video games kinda sounds like a boomer take. Like yes, for most people it's not a good idea to prioritize this but video games are obviously not just video games anymore for tons of people, otherwise there wouldn't be incredibly successful esports scenes/games like Rocket League or CSGO.
When Rocket League came out that shit basically took over my life for like 2 and a half years. It was my life. I just loved it so much but I never expected it to get so big so I stopped prioritizing it, these days the RLCS gets hundreds of thousands of concurrent viewers and who knows how much money the teams make. Not only for placement prizes but potential content creation or sponsorships.
I don't know man, but that sounds like it could be pretty productive to me. Not to mention it would be literally playing a video game at the highest level instead of actual work.
Like sure, it shouldn't be super important for most people, but I think saying stuff like "it's just a video game, do something productive" just sounds like cope because he still rages when he's hard stuck on a game lol, so he needs some justification. Like there are plenty of people living productive AND happy lives as a result of video games. Asmon himself is an example as he got his start from WoW.
I could care less about the WoW stuff, but the argument against sexualizing fictional characters is completely bad faith.
How are you going to insinuate that people who like to mod their game to make the fictional characters sexy are pdf files? If you want to see level-headed arguments against that viewpoint, just read the comments and try to argue against them, instead of trying to coax your twitch viewerbase into agreeing with you by riding a moral high horse--insinuating that people who don't are part of the vilest group of people on earth.
If you truly can't tell fiction apart from reality, don't engage in anime at all. Chainsawman, Attack on Titan, Jujustu Kaisen, all these shows make their underage characters engage in adult activity. For Chainsawman, Denji is a kid and yet a good part of the show is him trying to score with women. How are you going to say that you like that show if your sense of morality insists that stuff is pdf file territory?

37 now and not as much of a gamer as I used to be, I want to be but the spark just isnt there anymore. Much rather spend time doing other shit that doesnt involve me sitting around in my room being a loner.
I feel like asmon would stand up for someone who is right even though everybody hates that person
Internet nowdays - trying to explain that life matters more than a video game!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Society is lost
Asmongold gave me the best life lesson you could learn and that's "fuck em" I live by these words
When I was a kid, I play video games. I had fun.
Then I grew into a teenager. I play video games pretty well. I put my self-worth in my video game skills.
Now I am 40 years old, I play video games, and I am just having fun.
I had a good life.
recently had this revelation with overwatch. Fell in love with this game in may of 2016 and sank so much time and effort into that game. However, now it is truly a shell of its former glory and is not trying to appeal to the type of player i am. And thats okay. All things must come to an end. Having this healthy outlook on something and moving on to something different is a healthier mindset, instead of hoping the devs and com0pany will ever care bout their game in the way its true core players do. Now its just so far from what it was.
asmon being spot on for over an hour straight
The reason Asmon is so popular is simple, he's honest and he doesn't put up some sort of persona that isn't who he is. He doesn't shill for shit and he understands that he doesn't owe anything to his viewers. He's real and has the balls to not care about what people think about him.
Haters are a different breed. They give the person views and act like that’s destroying his career
You realize Asmon is the hater right? Hating on a game because he doesn't enjoy it anymore and hating on the people who enjoy it because he doesn't understand different people enjoy things for different reasons. A normal person would just move on and stop playing instead of constantly trying to force their ideas onto other people and criticizing them for not agreeing with them.
Imagine only working 8 hours a day.
Edit: I have 10 gladiator titles, cutting-edge achievements, top 5 parses on most mythic raid bosses, and a couple world firsts, and I remember when I thought that was worth bragging about. Now I'm embarrassed it even happend.
A lot of wasted time on a virtual fake world.
As a cutting edge mythic raider I agree with Asmon that mythic raiding is easy. The raid difficulty is more of a social difficulty and time commitment. The difference between a mythic raider and a heroic raider is the time commitment both are willing to put in and their ability to get along with other people and work together in order to succeed. A heroic player might work more hours or have less motivation to spend X hours getting along with other people in order to reach an AOTC. In the end both players might even be as skilled as each other but one might not want to be social or work as a team with other people to reach an achievement.
4:41 "I used to be good at a game 10 years ago, then I decided to be good at something that made me a lot of money." The difference between boys on reddit and men.
I like Asmongold but lets not pretend like every person out there can just leverage playing video games into a streaming career at the right time to become massively successful. He's talking about working at a job for 30 years of their life, which is exactly what he would be doing if streaming didn't work out for him. Not that he didn't work hard to build his channel and career, but its kind of cringe telling his audience to just do the same thing in their own way, because its out of touch with the fact that the vast majority of people in this world dont really have that choice, they cant live at home into their late 20s to puruse whatever their passion is. That said hating on him for not being good at wow anymore because hes become a millionaire and built a career is just cringe af.
09:11 -> "Maybe you should be caring more about making a career that makes you happy" -> I mean unless you got your ears stuffed he never said you should become a streamer.
I don't think you or the 4 people that liked the comment have actually listened to what he said.
MOM! THE BALD MAN IS ARGUING ABOUT THE 20 YEARS OLD GAME AGAIN!!!!
Genuinely cannot comprehend how people actually be mad at stuff on the internet.
You're a very nice person Zack 🙏🏼
Asmon, Did you see Elaine Bredehoft is at it again?!
___ Now she's not very nice at all 👀😐
If the intent of the mod isnt to give a childlike character an adult body, but actually to make the childlike character an ADULT with an adult body, then its fine imo. Its a fictional character first off, and intent/context genuinely matters in that instance since you are explicitly creating the mod to facilitate a healthy sexual view of that fictional character because you DON'T want to sexualize a child like character.
That's fine and all the speach about "i am over trying to be good at video game, i am an adult now" but :
1- If your job is to speak about video game, part of your job is also to kinda be good at game. Not top world good, but good enough to understand the casual audiance experience and the hardcore audiance experience. So yeah, when your multi millions dollars buisness rest on you having a good commentary on the video game industry, you maybe shouldn't take your level at video game so lightly.
2-If really you don't care about your level at video game, don't brag about it and don't call "fcking looser" people who call you bad player. It kinda make you look like you care about it after all.
I had a third point, a bit more personnal and probably hurtfull, and I like Asmon in the end, so I am going to wrap it up there, but he should be careful when he speak about the way other people live theirs life, he is not Elon fcking Musk and he could be irrelevant in 2 years. Insulting your audiance (or part of it) is never a clever move.
