HE COMMENTED ON CIVIL RIGHTS:
When asked: Would you have said the same thing during the civil rights movement?
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.
It’s kind of fascinating to me the level of brainrot some streamers get after time. This guy, Ethan from h3h3. It’s like their brain is just goo. There’s so many clips where they can’t string a thought together. Is literally just what they are now? It’s sad.
Asmon’s actually pretty articulate, he is just extremely selfish and honest. He doesn’t give a shit about anyone. That’s his entire ethos and shtick, being a hyperindividualist asshole.
Oh really? Maybe it’s just the clips I’ve seen. Him defending reaction content was kinda incoherent to me (at least if I remember right)
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.
Maybe I’m misremembering, and it was actually someone else. It has been a while since I watched it. Moistcritical looks pretty similar so maybe it was him. Or maybe the clips weren’t as bad as I remember.
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.
Imagine being this much of a fucking freak. If you’re not going to spread the wealth with family or the broader community, at least spend it on yourself. Bring back ostentatious display of wealth.
Sounds exhausting. Think I’ll stick to Peggle
old man mode on Back in my day, endgame raiding required 40 people. Try again, young one. old man mode off
40 people all hitting their 2 button rotations on a 40 second boss that has 0 mechanics lol
That was only in molten core. From Black Wing Lair onwards it got nasty. Still have nightmares of the first boss from there.
Shit peaked in Naxramas. Herding 40 morons and doing that bullshit was insane.
“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
The first fight was one of your raid taking control of the boss(one could mess that up and the boss would take out much of the raid in the meantime), taking out various gizmos why enemies spawned all around and attacked the boss. So you have to get rid of the spawns or they’ll yeet the boss, which then blows up and yeets the raid. Adds were spellcasters, melee and melee dragons. One tactic was kiting the adds around. My raid settled for killing all but the dragons (they had far more hp) and take them down when there was a window of time, problem: The kiters had to stay alive, if one kiter died the dragons would snack the healers.
Once all gizmos are down, you only had to kill the boss, that part was rather easy then, unless you took too many casualties.
In short it went from barely any mechanics in Molten Core to that, with nothing in between.
The second boss was a pure and simple brutal damage check. Everyone got extra mana/rage/whateverrogueshad regeneration but took huge fire damage per second and would blow up eventually. During the process of blowing up one had no skill costs and almost no cooldowns. After that, I tend to agree it was quite comfy in the Lair.
Yes the difficulty came from a lack of knowledge, that was part of the fun, figuring out how things worked and keeping the raid together during that time. Honestly I’d agree with you, I would have dropped out too once that was gone. Left during Burning Crusade, didn’t have the patience for it anymore.

Ethan and Hila both lived in Isreal.
Hila is israeli and “served” in the IDF. It doesn’t take that much to assume she has some takes on the situation.
She bragged about going on a ride along to destroy a home once because she was bored.
When did he move to Israel? Thought he was still in LA?
This was before they moved to LA. Pretty sure their channel started in Isreal.
Ah, I read it as living in not lived. Teach me to comment early in morning
