Twitch streamer Asmongold, who is well-known for his roach-infested home, poor hygiene and rotten teeth, is facing backlash online following controversial comments regarding Palestine during a recent livestream.
While discussing the ongoing conflicts in Palestine and Lebanon, the streamer claimed he had “no sympathy” for the people of Palestine saying that they are “terrible people” from “an inferior culture”. Asmongold followed the statement by saying Palestinians “would be the ones doing the genociding if they had the power to do so,” while referencing Sharia law in his remarks.
His comments come during a sensitive time in the region. Reports of human rights violations in Palestine and food shortages in Gaza have gripped communities. Of course, social media is at a head with supporters of both sides often clashing and sharing word vomit over who they believe is right and wrong. Asmongold has now chimed in.
X users have called out Asmongold after he shared his views on the matter. “At the end of the day, this is an immoral, evil culture. I truly believe that”. “They aren’t the same as us”. “They are an inferior culture” are some of the statements thrown out during his rant.
Users are now calling on Twitch to ban the streamer following the outcry. Twitch has had a strong stance against spreading hate online be it regarding ongoing invasions or political views. Other streamers have had their accounts banned in the past and according to users, there’s no reason why Asmongold shouldn’t be taken to task.
