Not sure why this is someone "famous". He clearly needs help with serious mental health issues. I'm always surprised to hear that he has such a big followers base.

[–] Mwa@thelemmy.club 1 points 6 days ago

i always get recommended his videos so maybe thats why???

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Twitch is a demented world I'm glad I was never a part of.

[–] rigatti@lemmy.world 62 points 1 week ago

Honestly it's fine if you're watching smaller streamers. The huge ones is where it gets weird.

Twitch tryna compete with kick.com by pushing degenerates

Representation matters. All the gross 4chan incels see themselves in him and feel validated.

[–] Boozilla@lemmy.world 19 points 1 week ago

That guy who posited that "everyone in America is 12 years old" was probably right.

I don't understand this person's appeal.

[–] reev@sh.itjust.works 52 points 1 week ago

It's exclusively other people that don't shower for 3 months.

[–] null@piefed.nullspace.lol 68 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I'm sure things were evolving on him.

At least now you can say he has culture.

Yeah that tracks.

All you need to know about Asmongold is there's a video of him on-stream trying water for the first time ever.

He gagged when he drank it.

Then he "watered it down" with soda.

Actually, that's not all you need to know.

[–] Deathray5@lemmynsfw.com 20 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Pretty sure that was a bit. Not even close to the most significant issue with him

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't the water he drank Fiji? If so, that'd explain his reaction. To me, that water tastes soapy.

Pretty obvious he's saying things like this to get more attention. He knows how to get people to clip and spread his content, and people keep feeding the troll.

[–] darkstar@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 days ago

Yes he does this to troll. He often says things because he is trolling just to get outrage.

Not saying it's right, but this is what he does.

[–] givesomefucks@lemmy.world 50 points 1 week ago (6 children)

Sure enough, he ended up finding a dead rat. Unsurprising, considering he previously used a dead rat as an “alarm clock” because the sun would begin cooking the corpse, causing it to smell, and the stench would wake him up.

This guy is a disgusting piece of shit...

That being said, skin does have a "horny layer" that we scrub off:

The stratum corneum (Latin for 'horned/horny layer') is the outermost layer of the epidermis of the skin. Consisting of dead tissue, it protects underlying tissue from infection, dehydration, chemicals, and mechanical stress. It is composed of 15 to 20 layers of flattened cells with no nuclei or cell organelles.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stratum_corneum

Scrub that off with abrasive scrubs full of chemicals and you exposure a "fresh" layer that looks good and healthy, but doesn't offer the same protection. Which can lead to issues like acne or even skin cancer.

You still need to shower though, and not use a fucking dead rat as a smell alarm clock...

But there's almost always a small seed of truth they build the crazy off of. Like how every pearl starts as a tiny piece of sand.

[–] meejle@lemmy.world 25 points 1 week ago

I don't think his layers will be making anyone horny

I once didn't shower for nine months straight, and I evolved from a fetus into a baby

[–] musubibreakfast@lemmy.world 19 points 1 week ago

Not true, we tried to rinse you out multiple times.

[–] aesthelete@lemmy.world 33 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Of course you are buddy, you're twelve.

[–] WhyYesZoidberg@lemmy.world 31 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Why the fuck do i even know who this person is? Stop give him attention like this or people like them will never go away.

[–] rozodru@piefed.social 29 points 1 week ago (5 children)

the guy lost his mother due to their hoarding, hygiene, and health issues. the guy recently also lost his father to health issues/cancer. You'd think it would be a wake up call for him to start getting his shit together but it won't.

I guarantee you he's going to get health issues because of his teeth. His gums have rotted away and routinely bleed (he wipes the blood from his gums on his bedroom wall btw). His home is infested with rats, cockroaches and god knows what else that I'm honestly surprised he hasn't been bitten by a rat yet while he's sleeping. The guy is so repulsed by water that I'm surprised he doesn't have rabies. He can't even drink it because he finds it gross. He won't eat any fruit and vegetables for the same reason, they're gross.

All he eats is junk food and fast food and he's as thin as a rake. his gums are rotted. I'd be curious to know what his index and middle fingers look like at this point...

[–] MourningDove@lemmy.zip 2 points 6 days ago

He’s a walking example of rage-bait and it works. People pay attention cause they love him. And people pay attention because they hate him.

He wins either way.

I’d suggest you just ignore his trollish bullshit.

He's an entitled man-child YouTuber who gained some popularity as an mouthy asshat playing World of Warcraft back in the day. And since then he's convinced himself that because he has a following he must be a gifted genius. And apparently that has translated into him not showering for reasons.

In short, as you already knew and implied, he's less than nothing special.

[–] theunknownmuncher@lemmy.world 22 points 1 week ago (15 children)

Bizarre that world of warcraft players think they're famous lol

Do people really enjoy watching people like this? Jesus Christ, do something healthier with your time, like playing videogames, or masturbating.

[–] Mwa@thelemmy.club 2 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

Yes I recommend that kind of workout too

[–] justsquigglez@leminal.space 25 points 1 week ago (3 children)

He misspoke, obviously he meant devolve.

Reminds me of someone here on Lemmy recently who had switched to eating nothing but steak and insisted it was giving them superhuman powers.

[–] alt_xa_23@lemmy.world 16 points 1 week ago (3 children)

A few years ago, I stumbled upon a subreddit for the carnivore diet. There were people there listing all the conditions and diseases they were supposedly cured from by only eating meat.

One particular individual listed like thirty separate conditions.

Anthropomorphic rage bait.

[–] morphballganon@lemmy.world 17 points 1 week ago

The bacteria in his butt crack probably evolved many times

If this were any other time in history this dork would have died from scurvy already.

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 16 points 1 week ago

Maybe something on his skin was starting to evolve...
