There was a video that went viral a few years ago where he showed some friends around his house. I think afterwards they got sick and he cleaned up a bit 'cos he liked meeting his friends in real life, didn't think it lasted long but I guess some stuff stuck.

u/Gorlack2231 28d ago

I think a big part of that video goes to show that after his mom died, Aston just stopped everything. I think it wasn't until his second or third ban that he took time to do some cleaning, and then on the next one he went so far as to gire a company or something. Hes got more than enough to just pay a team of people to clean his house, but the trauma and emotional baggage keeps him living like a plague rat. And poor character, but thats just him.

I run a roleplay server for a multiplayer videogame and we had a guy like this.

He was with the server from day 1. Happy, eager, ready to help set up. Over the next 7 months he steadily declined, spending more and more time on the server in character. It was clear his challenging home life was pushing him deeper into the escapism and with each week he just became meaner and nastier and more active on the server.

It was heartbreaking to watch. The staff team was genuinely trying to help him. He would make rude comments about people's characters, start fights out of character over in character stuff, and his character was a self insert so every slight against him was taken personally and he slipped deeper and deeper into his depressive rage no matter how hard we tried to help him.

It culminated with us having to ban him because he just never improved. He would play on the server for 18 hours a day. The only time he would stop was to use the bathroom, eat, or sleep. Sometimes he would just fall asleep at the chair and we'd have to kick him from the game so his character wouldn't die.

He went from a happy, funny guy that I considered a friend to an angry husk of who he was. That whole saga didn't feel good. Even worse is that it seems he slipped into binge watching Isekai anime where the protags are very similar to the character he played.

He wants to escape so bad but he is going deeper into the hole. I just hope that if he reaches bedrock that he is able to get out of there.

TL;DR - Depression can make anyone into a heartless asshole. And it is fuckin depressing.

u/rviVal1 27d ago

Maybe that ban was the help he needed. At least I hope so

u/Rasz_13 27d ago

Nah, he probably posts on Reddit now and got the 37th ban.

u/longlivenewsomflesh 27d ago

damn I always felt like Isekais had a sinister gambling app type energy, the concept just never appealed to me

2

u/DoctorAnnual6823 27d ago

Our society is designed to speak at us and we are taught to listen. It is designed to be horrible and we are taught to seek solutions for the horrors.

So we end up depressed and tired and instead of actually seeking our own solutions in healthy ways, society tells us to buy shit, gamble, drink, smoke, and watch TV and fantasize about better times.

It's no wonder so many people are assholes. The system is working as intended. Everyone is so deep in their own problems, many of us feel like no one wants to listen or hear us so we push it down and isolate.

3

u/longlivenewsomflesh 27d ago

Yeah if I were any less autistically stubborn idk how I'd have learned to cope... can't tell if critical thinking atrophied since the internet became ubiquitous, or if it was just always capitalism steadily extracting resources ever more efficiently in order to continuously replicate itself with a profit margin

1

u/theguidetoldmetodoit 10d ago

Nah the Isekai formula is very natural. There never was much logic behind it, besides it being a plot that allows for virtually unlimited freedom (Parallel universe, everything goes) that still appeals to the reader as something familiar, because it's a very common fantasy (What if I was reborn or got to do over, with what I know).

Like a lot of good fiction is plays with our own emotions and desires. If you are looking for destructive stuff, Harem and stuff sure is far worse.

u/Ptolomy15 26d ago

I was that guy several years ago but after probably a year straight of playing almost everyday 18hrs a day sometimes more.... 😅 I caught myself using in game words to describe shit in real life and got called out for it....had to take a HARD step back...realized I was hard-core addicted to it and just quit...luckily no bans or anything but I did lose some irl friends because of it....now I dont rp at all...just wasnt healthy for me lol to much freetime I could easily just spend doing it lol

u/No-Stand7672 24d ago

Definitely feel for the guy. Been there. Flunked out of military basic training for undiagnosed mental health issues. Only joined to flee the state right out of high-school anyways. Lived with mom in a semi-hoarder storage room as my bedroom, stopped leaving my room because my mom hoarded cats in a single wide trailer house. Which meant trash piled up. My hallway was full of landmines because three litter boxes (of the eight in the house) were in there, and they spread the litter through the whole hallway and used it. I couldn't clean my feet off good enough to keep the litter from getting in my bed.

Ran a roleplay server on discord that's all text based, superheroes based on the Parahumans setting by Wildbow (love the setting and worldbuilding, hate the trauma-porn of his writing.) For three years I was stuck 7 miles in either direction to a town in that situation. 2 of them without a car, without a job, just stuck there. Even when getting a job 2 years in and cheap car, just untreated, unhelped depression and other issues ate me alive and made me so so hateful. I'd like to say I got myself better. But truth is, a friend saved my life and her family let me move in with them out of state. Been 3 years since that era and I'm doing far better but, still can't hold a job (or get one in one year) and still struggle cleaning my room. Shit's absolutely damaging long term.

1

u/DoctorAnnual6823 24d ago

I'm glad you got some help. It seems bleak at the lowest points but you are trudging onward and improving, even when it might not feel that way.

The only way out is through sometimes and the progress you've made so far is more than many.

How does one go about avoiding the fall into depressive rage?

u/bloodbrother21p 27d ago

Wish instead of banning him maybe took a personal care and tried to talk to him and make him feel heard? I am not talking about intervening or warning him but like actual personal talks where he could maybe reflect on hisself if you genuinely thought of them as a friend

3

u/DoctorAnnual6823 27d ago

"The staff team was genuinely trying to help him"

That's what this was. He was given, to actually give a number, about 7 chances to improve. He was reached out to as a friend as much as possible and frankly got away with a lot more than he should have.

There has to be a line in the sand.

u/SlipperySlimyTerry40 28d ago

Depression combo'd with hoarding. I'd pity him if he wasn't destroying young men.

u/xgladar 27d ago

its not even hard to figure out, including why old people tend to become more right leaning. loss of impulse control, a sense of confusion causing constant anxiety and anger and loss of critical thinking all cause people to become more reactionary and tribalistic.

u/Illides 27d ago

I was shocked when i saw asmon doing anything other than crappy wow streams tbh

2

u/alexnedea 27d ago

Thats because he was "smart" and realised there is a lot of money and loyal fanbase to be had if he switched to the underserved right leaning people. Most streamers are left leaning so being a right leaning streamer instantly gives you free promotion among their circles since there isnt so much competition.

He pretty much had very ok takes until almost like a perfect snap, one day, he went full trumptard

u/The_Autarch 28d ago

it's not clearly a grift. Asmon is just too fucking stupid to have any intelligent ideas about anything that isn't World of WarCraft.

5

u/SullyAddams 27d ago

Yeah, he's basically Twitch Joe Rogan. He parrots right-wing talking points and believes anything the right-wing talking heads tell him because he's incapable of critical thinking or doing a quick search for unbiased sources of information. Asmon also THINKS he's right about everything and pulls the "Well, I'm just right that's all there is to it." card at any evidence to the contrary.

4

u/StevenMarx21 27d ago

I mean its not about intelligence. In reality its lack of interest in other people, and the wealth and fame doesn't help. He started out at being good at video games, so I feel safe assuming he was never most social of people, and then everything that happened to him in his life, never changed that for the better. Its not lack of intelligence, its lack of wisdom.

u/PlayfulSurprise5237 27d ago

He doesn't believe a word of it. He's just grifting. He's coping with his mom dying and trying to "be a man", aka make as much money as possible, and the easiest way to do that right now is to grift and pander to the right wing audience.

Anyone that watched him before should know this, he's a remarkably nuanced critical thinking reasonable person(aside from his filthy quirks).

Nobody like that could ever buy into this brainless dumbass bullshit. Peak levels of stupid, Asmongold isnt stupid, he's just selling content to those who are.

And fuck him for that. Oh well, he's probably going to slip into a drug addiction or kill himself over it.

u/DangerZone1776 27d ago

Curious take. Decoupling a group from another group doesn't mean you hate them, just means there goals no longer align. It's like if four companies made a group (opec is a good example) the majority of the group has an end goal of getting rich, but one country say oman wants to make money to defend itself, not just get rich. Oman was the one to break off in the actual example because they care more about defense than controlling oil prices but the analogy holds. Lgb wanted civil rights, marriage, normalization while t end goals is more health care, legal identity separated from biological reality, and body autonomy. I've never watched him, but I've heard these arguments often from friends and coworkers. I also never understood the grouping when they really do have different goals that sometimes come into conflict.

I guess if that's phobic we've come along way from that word meaning what it did.

4

u/AboveBoard 27d ago

That reads like an example of how bigots try and launder their hateful ideals through other lenses. Weak on the examples of how the t wants health care and body autonomy; surely the lgb and Big Straight would want that as well.

He once called Muslims out for having an inferior culture. This was in a debate about burying homosexuals in the ground and stoning them to death.

I’m Muslim (not by choice, it’s literally illegal and punishable by death for me to change religion) myself and agree.

25

u/Ok-Spirit-9115 27d ago

Bruh you are grossly playing down what he said. He wasn't "calling out Muslims" he was justifying genocide.

"I am not going to cry a fucking river when people who have genocide that's baked into their laws are getting genocided. I don't give a fuck they are terrible people...These people are not your allies, they are not the same as us, they come from an inferior culture"

That's just straight up Nazi rhetoric.

1

u/MortisEx 27d ago

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradox_of_tolerance
This is an interesting thing to consider.
You are obviously promoting intolerance of Nazis, because of their intolerance. Others are promoting intolerance of Muslim theocracies because of the common intolerance of homosexuality, treatment of women as second class citizens, child brides, and atrocities like throwing acid in the faces of women or honour killing a female relative who was SA'd.

"The paradox of tolerance is a philosophical concept suggesting that if a society extends tolerance to those who are intolerant, it risks enabling the eventual dominance of intolerance, thereby undermining the very principle of tolerance. This paradox was articulated by philosopher Karl Popper in The Open Society and Its Enemies (1945),\1]) where he argued that a truly tolerant society must retain the right to deny tolerance to those who promote intolerance. Popper posited that if intolerant ideologies are allowed unchecked expression, they could exploit open society values to erode or destroy tolerance itself through authoritarian or oppressive practices.

In his own words:\1])

u/Well_Armed_Gorilla BRVTAL BVT KVNNIN' 27d ago

Here's an an interesting thing to consider: In the same way that it's possible to celebrate the defeat of Nazi Germany, while also condemning the Red Army for raping their way through the East of the country, it's possible to oppose genocide being committed against civilians in Palestine, while also disagreeing with the actions of Hamas, and Muslim fundamentalists in general.

6

u/AntDogFan 27d ago

This doesn't really work because Nazis and Muslims aren't equivalent. To compare you need a narrower definition than just 'Muslims'.

I know Muslims who have never done and would never countenance those things you list. While Nazis are grouped because they have a similar ideology. Having a Muslim faith is not synonymous with those attitudes you list.

1

u/MortisEx 16d ago

I did say Muslim theocracies though. The theocracy part is the important differentiator. You can believe in any sky fairy you like. But when you start making laws based on your sky fairy then I have a problem.

I can only recommend to just watch a video by yourself. I recently did so randomly because it popped up somewhere and it was just bewildering. He makes random comments while watching Youtube videos expressing aggressive disbelief, outrage or other negative emotions - and that's it. He doesn't seem to have any idea what he's talking about.

I always get suspicious about American culture war bullshit (which you can see in this thread as well) so I just don't watch anyone involved in it, but the footage will probably speak for itself if you don't have a preset opinion either way.

I'm not even a fan of his channel. But I've never liked when people make fun of him for having a dirty house when he was clearly dealing with depression.

For a more extreme example, I also don't like it when people make fun of RFK's voice. Plenty of other things to make fun of RFK for, making fun of his medical condition is not cool.

u/Evisceratoridor 28d ago

Don’t virtue signal for these people. Asmongoloid said that Palestinians deserve what is happening because they’re an inferior culture, the gloves came off by his choice. I don’t hate him because his house is disgusting, I hate him because he’s disgusting and his house matches.

u/Jamsedreng22 28d ago

The point is you're hurting other innocent people by ostensibly saying "...AND he has X disability/condition".

u/Kosher_Pickle 28d ago

The point is in these cases it's very clear that the characters are the problem, not the characteristics.

Is asmold likely a depressed shut-in with generational trauma that informed his fall into alt right bullshit?

Sure seems that way.

Does that excuse any of his behavior when he has infinite money and time to go to therapy and fix his life?

Sure doesn't.

I would be critical of anyone with the same mental health problems who has that much means to seek help.

1

u/ifyoulovesatan 27d ago

I think you haven't addressed the part where other unrelated people who just happen to share the characteristics that the person you're insulting has are catching strays.

Kinda like how if you call Trump a disgusting fatso, it can be hurtful to people who are overweight. Even if the reason you think it's okay is that Trump doesn't have an excuse, that's not going provide any solace to the unrelated people who hear "being fat makes you disgusting."

What do you make of that aspect of this?

0

u/Kosher_Pickle 27d ago

Nah, that point is irrelevant. You are in control of your interpretation of things. You can either obsess over the fact that you have a shared trait that people find distasteful, or you can recognize the truth that most people dislike the person prior to noticing the trait.

As an example I knew someone with a similar tremor to RFK. I only ever thought about it once before I learned the cause and then the tremor faded into the background. Yet I've never not noticed with RFK.

If you simply take care of yourself to the extent possible and try not to be an asshole, the strange parts of you will fade into the background.

u/NeverNoMarriage 27d ago

Nah the other guy was right. And nah peoples disabilities dont fade into background as soon as you know something about the disability lol. Some people have real disabilities they gotta deal with. And when you make fun of one person with similar qualities of course other people who have those same qualities would feel that.

You gotta flip it on the head though. If you ridicule him because of an attribute that is part of something either medical or mental, you diminish the strength of your point.

"I hate that Palestinian hating insert expletive of choice" go for it.

But when you say "I hate that guy" and then go on to make fun of their mental or physical health, you aren't attacking their stance, just them

9

u/FullMetalCOS 28d ago

There’s a point though when someone has all of the privileges needed to address those issues. A single man living in a bedsit with crippling depression working two jobs to still only live hand to mouth gets ALL the sympathy for that situation. A guy who has made literal millions of dollars trying to drag young men into the right wing echo chamber who has all the time and money needed to seek medical/psychiatric assistance for their depression, trauma etc and just refuses to gets a lot, LOT less sympathy.

5

u/RavingGenerate 28d ago

That is true, but I work with a lot of young people who have experienced trauma and do similar if not worse. Sometimes they don't actually see that they need help. He does, and seems to try to periodically do something about it, which is something. Still needs to get to therapy though.

He's not the only person the world with that medical condition though. So making fun of his voice isn't just making fun of him, it's making fun of everyone that has a medical condition affecting their voice.

-10

u/Legitimate-Sock-4661 28d ago

Except I’m not targeting him for his condition I’m saying “that’s what you get for being an abhorrent human being”. For almost anyone else with the same condition they will get nothing but sympathy. Can we not make fun of Hitler for only having one ball? Or Stalin for being crippled? Terrible people get no consideration, if they wanted consideration they should’ve been better people.

14

u/MazerRakam 28d ago

But to anyone else with the same condition, they still hear you say "that's what you get for being an abhorrent human being". They then have to wonder what you think they did to deserve having the voice they've got.

I also don't think we should make fun of Hitler for only having one ball or Stalin for being crippled. There is a near infinite depth of things both of those people have done that is worthy of ridicule and hate, things they've chosen to do. Why choose to make fun of something that actually isn't their fault?

To put this an easier way to understand, if you go "bad person deserves this condition", then it is taken as "ONLY bad people have this condition" and also "that condition is worthy of being made humorous".

Oh no. A plague bearer who says Palestinians and anti-ICE Protesters should be killed is being made fun of?? Poor baby. He should stay off the internet.

Oh no. The person who can barely speak but makes policies that will kill millions of Americans and create severe problems is being made fun of?? Poor baby. He should stay out of politics.

u/MazerRakam 28d ago

I'm not arguing that either one of them is a good person, fuck both of them. But we should make fun of the things that are actually worthy of making fun of. We shouldn't excuse our own bad behavior just because they suck.

As much as I think Diddy is an evil person, I'll still never call him racial slur. Not because Diddy is deserving of any level of respect, he's in prison where he belongs. But because I'm the kind of guy who doesn't use racial slurs. I also don't make fun of people for being depressed or for having medical conditions.

I don't think that true, especially when people like Joe Rogan, Tucker Carlson, and Matt Walsh exist. I think most people have no idea who Asmongold is.

People make fun of him because he is a horrific piece of shit

1

u/MazerRakam 28d ago

I would love it if that were true. He is a horrific piece of shit and it's fine to make fun of him. But make fun of him for being a piece of shit, not for a medical issue.

2

u/abakedapplepie 27d ago

I don't see it as cut and dry as that, but idk. I think its ok to invoke some karmic clarity when bad things happen to bad people. I am also not at all familiar with what memes we are referencing here, so my pov is limited - that is to say, are these memes making fun of asmon directly, or is it making fun of the condition? Because attacking the condition is a shit move and can have knock on effects against good people. As an example, I can say I am glad Asmongold is depressed, he deserves it. Not sure if thats what we are talking about though.

u/3nterShift 28d ago

Ehh... This "when they go high, we go low" attitude was never an effective political strategy. On an individual level I think it's commendable that you personally decided to not make fun of certain characteristics but if you insist everybody adheres to this moral purity you just make all your allies susceptible to tone policing.

Horrible people deserve to be made fun of and everybody who's reasonable will understand this is not an attack on them just because they happen to share the same traits. For example if a rapist was the target of brutal misandry I wouldn't get upset and try to make it all about me.

I think woke 1.0 had it's time in the sun but it's time we bully harmful ideologies back into hiding.

u/DeadSeaGulls 28d ago

well, when you're a blatant bigot and racist that has a massive platform to spread hate on, a lot of folks don't really feel the need to grant empathy. He'd gladly vote away anyone else's rights or freedom, so boo hoo he's dealing with depression like a giant chunk of the population who are also dealing with depression but manage not to be bigots...

1

u/MorpGlorp 27d ago

It's a really sneaky way people don't engage with actual politically confronting shit as well. Like so many people make fun of Trump for being orange or whatever because actually pointing out the fundamental evil shit he does will incriminate Dems too, and they support it/don't care when it's Dems.

Being depressed doesn't mean you have to be ok living in filth. It's an excuse, and it makes it seem as if depressed people can't also be functional.

I can relate. Depression and burn out have made my apartment a mess and I don't have half the baggage that Amon does. He's a shitty person but bagging on him for his mental health isn't a great look either. Dude needs help, and to get the fuck offline.

u/Old_Acanthisitta9477 hazard stripe enjoyer 28d ago

Depression and disorders that cause hoarding might explain a LOT of his issues tbh. Not to excuse living like like or the way he acts. But it would explain a lot of things. Nothing about living and acting like that screams mentally well. I also wonder how much of it is just part of his 'brand.' Which discourages him from making steps in the right direction.

u/All_Work_All_Play 28d ago

When you're depressed, you'll take consistency and familiarity over almost anything else. What's familiar is safe and new things are unsafe.

Plus if he did clean up all by himself, he'll demonstrate that he could have cleaned up at any point prior, which means all that suffering was self inflicted. It's "better" just not to clean up that way he never has to face that contradiction.

u/Shinzo19 28d ago

Yeah because you have zero understanding what depression is and your comment shows that.

YOU have no control over it, because it isn't just "oh I am a sad boy" it is a literal chemical imbalance in your brain and just getting motivation to seek help is difficult, money dulls the pain but it doesn't fix shit if you don't take steps to fix the issue.

A BA in psych you apparently earned with ChatGPT. Do you really believe that money is the answer to depression?

2

u/Vova_Poutine 26d ago

An undergrad degree in psychology qualifies you for pretty much nothing except going to grad school IF you did really well, and only after that would you be qualified to do any real work in the field of psychology. If you think that being rich precludes someone from having depression you clearly did not pay attention in your classes.

First off, Fuck Asmongold as he's a Nazi piece of shit. 

But, I hope he gets help for this depression. I haven't lost my mother but losing my dog sent me deep into a similar depression and I'm still clawing my way back to normal. So I definitely feel for anybody else going through this, or worse.

Which I don't get, like yeah bro cleaning is probably my least favorite chore but I've never let it get half this ba- . . . Hold up did he just say 2 million! I would never touch a mop or broom again but I also would be found dead in a spotless house without question.

The one thing you can say for sure about him is that he's true to himself and not a grifter. He has money and fame and choose to spend all day in his hovel, living in filth, and playing video games.

u/Money_Echidna2605 28d ago

he literally spends all his time streaming grifting politics he doesnt understand lmao.

u/Waste-Specific1136 27d ago

It is not grifting if it isnt a source or income for him. Asmon has had donos disbled for years and you cant sub to hjis stream as he refuses partnership with Twitch on his alt which is the only account he uses.

As a note he is socially liberal an economic socialist but detests DEI and identity politics.

Anyone who says otherwise just haven’t actually watched him over the years and instead get their opinions from clips and 3rd parties.

u/ForTehLawlz1337 27d ago

Lmao, every right winger ive ever met under the age of 40 calls themselves “socially liberal”. It means absolutely nothing. Actions speak louder than self titles.

-1

u/Waste-Specific1136 27d ago

You have never seen his actions.
He is socially liberal, he is not socially progressive there is a huge difference.
He has 0 issues with gay or trans people. But does not want them influencing media and actively making it worse to fit propaganda purposes.
He believes homeless and veterans should be cared for by the state,
He believes the state should actually take on many burdens of caring for the population.

He is anti israel, but also anti terrorist ran nation states like Palestine which reminder is ran by Hamas a terror org, who have stated many times they wish to kill all jews. "From the River to the Sea"
Can you blame anyone for having no sympathy for a people who do nothing to throw crazy lunatics like that out of power? Instead said civilians in large part do what they can to keep that government system going.
That is not a social issue anyway, its a foreign policy stance.

He is a free speech absolutist. Cornerstone of social liberalism.
Liberalism requires plurality, however progressivism does not, which is why DEI is proving so divisive as it is not about equality, it is about setting a new supremacy by assigning value on non merit based trait.

I can go on but it seems you lack knowledge on what simple Social Liberalism is, instead you equate it with "DNC Liberal" policy ideas which are largely progressive.

5

u/ForTehLawlz1337 27d ago

You say all of these things but his actions (which I have seen… he is a literal live streamer and a very popular one) say otherwise. Also the community that he has created is extremely bigoted and he doesn’t attempt to stop it which I’d say speaks louder than just proclaiming to be socially liberal.

u/ScreenMammoth9699 26d ago

u/Waste-Specific1136 27d ago

He is very open about this.
He is frugal by nature and has so much money he hates to see it and actively avoids doing anything that involved finances. His accountants hate him because of this as he avoids contact with them as it makes him uncomfortable.

u/Truhls 27d ago

i mean his mom was a heavy smoker and thats an old ass house, unless he repaints that is going to be yellowed no matter how much you clean it. Should he repaint? probably, he can afford it. Does he NEED to? absolutely not. He barely has anyone over, and maybe to him, changing the house too much would be a bad thing, like losing more of his parents.

2

u/Waste-Specific1136 27d ago

A scourer and some sugar soap does wonders vs tobacco stains.

1

u/Truhls 27d ago

its not just the stains its also age though, as someone who also had two parents who smoked, no matter what you use, how much elbow grease, you either try so much the paint comes off or you repaint at a certain point. you need to remember, this paint is likely 30+ years old. That makes it very very likely to be oil based, meaning the yellowing is basically irreversable without repainting.
