If anything, transphobia is a mental illness

[-] RymrgandsDaughter 52 points 1 month ago

Mentally Ill man that lives in squalor screams Nazi rhetoric for adoring fans

[-] Thegods14@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 month ago

That's a bingo!

[-] WatDabney@lemmy.dbzer0.com 36 points 1 month ago

I would say that if anyone out of all of those involved in this weird controversy is "mentally ill," it's the otherwise uninvolved outsiders who insist on making an issue of someone else's gender identity.

I've never even understood how this is an issue in the first place. I can see how gender identity could be significant when one is evaluating a potential sexual partner, since one would likely have some preference(s), but beyond that, I've never understood why anyone even cares. What possible bearing can it really have on anything?

So as far as I'm concerned, if somebody does concern themselves with it and try to oversee it and legislate it and control it, in spite of the fact that it has no real bearing at all on their own lives, there must be something wrong with their brains.

Isn't this the guy who used the rotting carcass of a rat as an alarm clock? I'm not sure Asmongold has any right to talk about anyone's mental health...ever.

[-] Didros@beehaw.org 5 points 1 month ago

Yep, also woke up to wipe the blood from his mouth on the wall.

[-] don@lemm.ee 36 points 1 month ago

If someone’s as triggered as transphobes and homophobes, such that they are that obsessed with the sexuality of others to the point of demanding to be able to control it… there’s an illness in their brain. One can’t be mentally healthy and be that kirked out over something they have no reason to worry about whatsoever.

[-] ellypony@lemmy.world 31 points 1 month ago

This guy has been put on blast for having cockroaches crawling around his dirty ass room on stream before. Talk about mental illness.

I will never understand why some cis dudes who live like Dracula, and look like goodwill Linus Tech Tips are so eager to give parenting advice.

[-] Ledericas@lemm.ee 13 points 1 month ago

isnt dracula, mostly clean and proper most of the time.

[-] MummysLittleBloodSlut 5 points 1 month ago

He lives in a castle. He has servants to clean for him.

[-] nokturne213@sopuli.xyz 30 points 1 month ago

Fuck that piece of shit.

[-] Xtallll 30 points 1 month ago

I just realized that Asmongold and MoistCritical are different streamers, I thought they were one guy who had the most wildly swinging takes.

[-] Ledericas@lemm.ee 10 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

asmongold recently got into a couple dramas, because of his increasingly right wing takes on things. im not familiar with moistcritical. when you bring politics into your channel, especially right wing views, your channel will spiral downwards sooner or later.

[-] MummysLittleBloodSlut 2 points 1 month ago

That's kind of a transphobic thing to say. You're using the same argument as people who say queer representation is political. You have a different idea of what politics is, but you're still teaching people to fear politics, and that's dangerous.

[-] mxcory 3 points 1 month ago

I don't think they were saying associating being trans with being political. They mentioned other takes in their response. Though I don't know what they are referencing, I believe their comment about politics was more towards that than trans.

But I do agree with you.

[-] MummysLittleBloodSlut 1 points 1 month ago

I don't think they were saying associating being trans with being political

Me neither. Who thinks that?

[-] boomzilla@programming.dev 2 points 1 month ago

They are the polar opposite. This is an extremly based rant from him under one of his many other aliases, penguinz0:

Maybe if we stop giving him attention then he will stop grifting.

Hint hint.

[-] slaneesh_is_right@lemmy.org 9 points 1 month ago

Influencer who lives with cockroaches has opinion.

[-] GeeDubHayduke@lemmy.dbzer0.com 17 points 1 month ago

Why the fuck is anyone still listening to this plague rat?

Unless he's espousing the most efficient way to spread typhoid thru a community, he should be thoroughly ignored.

[-] imvii@lemmy.ca 13 points 1 month ago

Why the fuck should I care what a guy who plays video games says about anything other than playing video games?

I have a feeling this dude has no formal education on human sexuality, biology, or transgender studies.

[-] biscuitswalrus@aussie.zone 4 points 1 month ago

Loud people with big audiences should be called out when they're saying dangerous things. Marginalised people didn't get rights by being quiet.

Be loud be proud. Call it out.

His audience will grow up to be the ones who have that kind of thinking as they turn from teens, twenties and into their thirties.

He reaches a lot of ears. https://twitchtracker.com/asmongold/statistics shows a huge audience but it's people calling him out that have slowly turned his viewer base from growing to receding. As more people learn how worthless his opinion is, more people turn him off for good.

So yeah, you should care to spread the message that when someone loud is speaking misinformation, your own voice gives those who listen to him an opportunity to make a choice to lose trust in someone they were watching for their hot takes.

It works. The statistics show that. Even if it's only because the algorithm stops promoting them too once the line stops going up.

[-] Wigners_friend@lemm.ee 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

You could have stopped at "no formal education" .... he probably can only type like archeologists understand hieroglyphics (buttons for gaming mysteriously also provide communication)

[-] jimmyjohnsilverhand@lemmy.ml 12 points 1 month ago

I really really want to shove this nerd in a locker and push it down stairs. Fucking hate this loser

[-] dumblederp@aussie.zone 11 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

One of the things I miss about reddit was RES being able to block terms because I had this piece of shit's name blocked because everything I ever hear about him is negative and my life is better not knowing about him.

[-] Sunshine@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 month ago

Piefed supports keyword and domain blocking.

[-] dumblederp@aussie.zone 3 points 1 month ago

Thanks for the tip, there's a bunch of topics I'd just rather not read about because all I can do is feel bad about the situation.

[-] Duke_Nukem_1990@feddit.org 4 points 1 month ago

Voyager also supports key word blocking.

[-] Ilixtze@lemm.ee 10 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I don't know who this guy is; but I can certainly smell him from here.

[-] WhatSay@slrpnk.net 9 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

First thought: who's that.

Click

Oh, a white guy on twitch

Big surprise

[-] ShotgunForFun@beehaw.org 3 points 1 month ago

He's a kid that makes millions, doesn't clean his room, abuses his (grand?) parents that he still lives with last I checked. And people still all thought it was all just a joke a decade ago but has swiftly gone off the deep end.

Basically, one of the reasons some Gen Z and younger kids are so broken.

[-] WhatSay@slrpnk.net 5 points 1 month ago

People need to get offline

[-] ShotgunForFun@beehaw.org 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Agreed, I had full grown adults a decade+ ago tell me it was all a joke in our WoW guild. I say "Buddy, you can't fake it for like 12 hours a day... that's not a joke." (He was a WoW streamer)

Oh by the way, he was bad at WoW... that's the funniest part to me. He one time made his legions complain to blizzard so much that they actually changed something in PvP, and it was THE WORST season of the game. Was a while ago I can't remember the details. Dude had a tough time fighting the NPCs, who knows why they listened to the guy about PvP.

I wish I could get back into WoW just to relax and time sink but it's full of vitriol like social media is now. Abunch of disabled and SSI people that are supporters of... taking away those benefits.

[-] MummysLittleBloodSlut 8 points 1 month ago

I don't know who this is and now I'm sad

[-] OmegaLemmy@discuss.online 13 points 1 month ago

Gamer and streamer who says he is centrist whilst streaming trump whenever possible, also has such a disgusting room that it became a meme

[-] MummysLittleBloodSlut 6 points 1 month ago

Didn't want to find out

[-] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 7 points 1 month ago

From what I’ve seen of Elon Musk he might have a point in that one case.

[-] Vanilla_PuddinFudge@infosec.pub 6 points 1 month ago

The dude that never cleans his room and has a single dreadlock due to lack of bathing is going to tell us how to live, lmao 🤣

[-] Resol@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

I can't believe you guys have to be subjugated to this. And I come from a country where transphobia is the norm.

As soon as I heard this guy say some very hateful comments about Palestinians, I knew I shouldn't trust him.

[-] PlausibleDupont@jlai.lu 4 points 1 month ago

Hatred of people that did you no wrong is probably higher on the scale

[-] groolthedemon@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

His face looks like a mental illness.

[-] not3ottersinacoat@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 month ago

Just another American asshole, how shocking.

[-] inb4_FoundTheVegan@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

People in glass houses....

[-] Thegods14@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 month ago

Can more easily be spotted for those bricks to the face?

[-] Nikki 3 points 1 month ago

who gives a shit what this roach infested meathead says

[-] TransSynthesist 3 points 1 month ago

Dude is a grown man baby who literally does nothing but play video games and bitch. I dont think I'll be taking his word on much of anything.

[-] Sunshine@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 month ago

Your mother raised you to be better than that…
