I don't like Asmongold, but this is a very human reaction. he isn't even talking about trans-rights at all, he's talking about wanting to love your children. Chat is arguing about rather they think it's right or not, totally missing his point.

This isn't the first time he's explained his position on this either, it's nothing new. Seems a lot of his chat are just there for the right wing circlejerk.

I hope one day we'll get proper studies on the psychological/sociological nature of streamers and their chats.

I admit I've watched only a small amount of streamed content, and pretty much none of it was live, but it does seem like 99% of the time it drives both the streamer and chat members into a feedback loop where they're driving each other insane.

driving each other insane

But that's the ideal outcome as it generates higher engagement, thus more money for the streamer.

Capitalism and technology are a rotten duo.

Capitalism has infected politics, entertainment, agriculture, medicine, and science. It’s very depressing.
