HE COMMENTED ON CIVIL RIGHTS:

When asked: Would you have said the same thing during the civil rights movement?

He replied: "What a ridiculous and self-serving oversimplification to imply the civil rights movement was successful because people stood in the street. It's very simple, just get out of the road"

Here's the link to the video clips.

He also said this:

"What gives you the unique moral authority to break the law because of what you believe in?... It's narcissistic and entitled. That's insane. It's like these people think the world revolved around their issue..."

The pic is just a pic I found of him.

Edit: Also, if people think he doesn't matter, he's literally more popular than Hasan, especially when it comes to gaming shit.

      Legit fascist. I'm not even kidding or exaggerating in the slightest. People who spout shit like this or agree with it would not care about colonialism or slavery or anything else that we now recognize as "bad" back when they occurred if doing so inconvenienced them in the slightest. So, where would that leave the people who would be suffering? Legit couldn't be trusted.

          Asmongold during 1930s Germany: I do not care about the problems of the communists or the socialists or the trade unionists or the Jews but I do care if these people bomb the trains to protest their plights. In that case, I shall support the government! What gives you the right to break laws -

      It's not even that. Like, everyone memes on centrists but this take is, somehow, even worse. This dude is saying he literally doesn't care about what's happening (genocide) and that if you try to make him care in a way that inconveniences him even a little bit (by blocking a road) he will actively choose to support the side committing the genocide.

      I don't even have words.

          He has very absolutist hot takes and then rationalizes himself backwards into it - similar to Amber on CTH tbh. He's pretty good at the rationalizing actually, it's how he can justify being a multi-millionaire who lives in squalor and filth and staying up for days on end and only eating steaks. It's how he can live such a weird alien lifestyle but justify it to himself and his audience as the most efficient, logical way to be (ironically, but not actually). He's an avatar of a lot of gamer's worst anti-social tendencies exaggerated to the extreme, which is why a lot of his audience probably watches is they relate but don't take it to the sweaty anti-social extreme that he does. He is the same way in his overall mentality, idealist and to the extreme about everything because he never goes outside except to drive to mcdonalds - everything is a hypothetical in a vacuum.

          Remember, WoW players hate everything and everyone including themselves. They hate the game they play. They hate Blizzard. They hate casuals. They hate tryhards. They hate how easy the game is now (it's never been harder). Their blood is black bile and everything keeps getting worse but they keep paying blizzard money to re-run the same experiences over and over to wring dry any fondness or nostalgia they once had.

              he streams for like several hours a day. I'm sure there are segments of him zoning out because he hasn't eaten a vegetable in a month. A lot of it is just criticism of games or game industry and reacting to people, it didn't get real chuddy and gamergate-y until the past 6 months or so.

                  “Nasty”

                  You mean 1.5 minute fights with 1 mechanic? Half of the bosses in BWL are just drakes that you need to face away from the raid and DPS. It became the meta to pull multiple bosses at once to speed things up because it was so easy.

                  It’s nothing even compared to Ulduar or ICC, which are cakewalks compared to anything from Cata onward. Fights exponentially increased in complexity, length, number checks, etc.

                  Take a look at Spine of Deathwing, Al’Akir, Ragnaros (Firelands) or Lich King, there’s about 30 mechanics and they last 10-15 minutes and a single error wipes the raid.

                  In addition, rotations for most classes got way more complex to perform at a high level.

                  In classic even the casuals were doing speed runs, the ‘difficulty’ of vanilla came from bad computers and internet and lack of knowledge about how the game worked. People did Naxx on hardcore without any deaths to their characters. People had sub-50 minute Naxx clears. Its difficulty was greatly exaggerated.

                  I raided naxx in classic and played every expansion of wow up to legion. Trust me on this. The game objectively got much, much harder at the highest level and it’s a big reason why the subscriber base shrank. The biggest ever drop off of players was in T11 in Cata when the wrath kids got a dose of reality

      He probably doesn't care. That doesn't affect him. In the clip he's reacting to, Hasan is trying to bring attention to literal mass graves that are being dug up in Gaza hospitals where hundreds of Palestinian men, women, and children have been found - after having been executed. And he just cuts Hasan off and says he doesn't care, he's going to side against the protesters because how dare they block roads.

        Yeah he eats steak or mcdonals every meal and hasn't ever tried like 95% of fruits. He grew up in poverty and his parents passed away, its sad to witness honestly and sad that its played off as a joke that he's disgusting and lives in squalor. He's extremely rich now and could afford maids or a new place easily but it's part of his brand to be a removed gamer. I think some mental illness is at play here for the continued life in squalor and only eating 1 unhealthy thing when he's a multi-millionaire.

          Did his mother die? Last time I watched him he had apparently bought his childhood home from his mother, since she couldn't afford to keep it after his dad passed away. In general all of his life-stories are horribly depressing and sad, which is why he makes sure to tell them with a certain tone/persona.

              Sure, but that doesn't mean that all of the stories are made up / fake. it just means he found a way to monetize them, which while not exactly kosher in my book, isn't something I can blame people for if they grow up in poverty in Texas.

            Calories in, calories out. The soda, cake and fast food along with some steaks is all that he eats, he doesn't eat anything else. Without eating any actual meals, it's hard to get enough calories in to maintain or even gain weight.

                Yes it's much worse for your health, but at the end of the day if you eat 2500 calories of junk food, and your daily maintenance is 2500 calories, you will not gain weight, your weight will stay the same. Though as I said there are serious health concerns, some people in the comments are saying that this guy has scurvy.

                I was friends with a guy that had a really bad addiction to WoW and later similar games and ate only fastfood and snack cakes. He got frighteningly skinny after a few years. He was so locked into the grind that he wouldn't eat because that would involve logging off for long enough to go buy food.

                He would game non-stop all night only coming out of his room to use the bathroom. His sleep schedule would revolve around server downtimes and zone resets. It was really sad, the last time I saw him he was working at a supermarket and looked so scrawny, pale and unhealthy.
