This guy is the human embodiment of the filthy, basement-dwelling sociopath stereotype. He's absolutely goddamn disgusting, and that's before we even get into his opinions and beliefs.
I'm calling bullshit. Something ain't right here. It is not an either/or situation. One can play video games and also have sex. If I can work a full time job, make time for my kid, cook dinner for the family, play my guitar on occasion, play the Witcher or Halo or some such a few evenings per week, and bang my wife before bed, then this dude is full of shit.
At the risk of regretting, can I get a TL;DR breakdown on Asmongold? General opinion hunting, some people say he's based, some people say he's a scumbag, most of the people say he's a scumbag say it's because he lives dirty, and just glancing at a few clips the algorithm dropped me make it seem like he's just another reactor? I feel like I'm missing some significance here.
He’s a gamer who realized the maga, incel grift can make him more money/get more views. So now he just spews racist, xenophobic, and misogynist tropes all day. Saying Ice is “based” when they’re murdering citizens and putting people in detention camps. Whether he believes it or not, I dunno but he’s definitely a terrible, toxic influence imo.
He used to just be a WoW streamer, but he's become another right-wing grifter over the past 5+ years. To the point of arguing that "it's white people who are systemically oppressed, actually."
Thank you to everyone who took the time to answer my question! To those who downvoted to zero to kill visibility and make sure I wouldn't get answers to an honest question, I give this: When your computer breaks, may your every search for solutions end with a years-old thread that only says "nvm, I found the problem."
I really don't understand why anybody would downvote a genuine question. The only explanation I can come up with is, that those people spend too much time on social media and believe, because they are nonstop on the intertubes, everyone else must do that too, therefore any question must just be bait. I'd recommend touching grass, but at this point, I'd have them standing in a puddle, wearing nothing but socks.
He is quintessential 2010's "you get what you got" dudebro. Lived for a long while in complete filth due to depression from his parents passing. Has made and is making millions online. He's had girlfriends in the past, so he isn't exactly speaking from an incel perspective. More like an abrasive moody shut in who takes joy in others' suffering. His "based" perspectives are hits like, "if you're an ass, bad things will happen to you," which we can all agree with.
He only really brings it up when bad things are happening to liberal aligned figures, women, or lgbtq. Regardless of his actual beliefs ( I don't know them ) it makes him present as alt-right to a broad internet audience. He does not vote politically, but he vocally supports trump, and easily falls into maga conspiracy theories.

Nobody wants a disgusting transphobe who bathes in windex and lives with animal corpses and bugs.
swedeonamoose
He got money so i guess sex isnt off the table, i jsut hope whatever worker taking on the job shows up in a hazmat suit
ShoopDeDoop
Unfortunately, he is the type of person whom sex is an option for. He's extremely wealthy.
FreshBundleOfStick
But he doesn't even play video games? He just complain about them being "woke" or some shit.
HPCmonkey
No he does play them. He just doesn't slice them up into shorts, so the algorithms don't push his game streams.
Hexidimentional
he's a millionare that lives with a cockroach infestation
Kimmykix
He's also a Nazi, could use a good punching.
Hexidimentional
i'm not really sure how much of his bullshit he actually believes tbh

Last i saw he just sat and watched a bunch of "haha stupid libs" and rightwing ragebait shorts.
ProfessorVanDiggenSagg
Nah, you didn't miss anything. There's no significance.
1eventHorizon9
That stereotype of a an unwashed gamer wallowing in filth? He's literally that guy. He's also rightwing incel chud.
LicensedAdHominem
He's physically, philosophically, mentally, and intellectually gross.

BugPumpkinTerror
He's a white supremacist, racist, bigot, misogynist, transphobe, you name it. Not surprising considering his affinity for Nick Fuentes.

I don't endorse or follow him, but his clips do fall into my feed from time to time.
Bladedrummer
Gamer influencer flirting with manosphere, red pill, and maga ideology.
morningxafter
Flirting with? Nah man, he’s already there and has been for a while.
Bladedrummer
Yeah true. I didn't word that right. Look, the guy is a turd...
