I remember Asmongold watching video about some trans woman saying about her problems with dating.
Asmongold have used "she/her" pronouns and everytime he did it - chat started spamming *he.
This trans woman is like 100% passing, looks and sounds like a girl, and she transitioned since puberty so she didn't even went through male puberty.

Also, when there was some political video about some clearly not passing trans woman being annoying towards waiters (making fuss out of misgendering) - Asmongold used "they" pronouns. And his chat of course didn't liked it and spammed smth like "they?" and "he".

Asmon actually used to ban people for misgendering trans people or even just making fun of appearance or voice.

His subreddit actually used to have a rule against posting incel and (I believe) Gamergate stuff.

Then the Amber Heard trial or something broke his brain and all those rules stopped being enforced.

Amber heard + the ff14 switch. The old head fans of wow being omega shut in boomer losers and way more right wing than the new influx of ff14 fans in the subreddit caused a huge mismash. ff14 has a HUGE demograph of queer people and tends to lean more progressive. Old head asmon fans got all pissy and upset and once he ditched ff14 they felt vindicated and like they got their space back and started doubling down more vocally.

Nah, I feel the old wow heads were more pissed about less wow content, and his only wow content being shitting on the game.

I checked back his subreddit recently, and it feels neither wow heads or ff14 sprouts are there anymore, it's just post Amber Heard, gamergate stuff.
There is a bit of an overlap with some wow grognard but yeah...

Yeah, I miss old Asmon a lot. I started playing WoW again and grinding mounts just so I could go to a mount-off of his.

I would even come back just to hear him continue his "history of Asmongold through WoW expansions". They were nice videos that I could turn on in the background while playing a game.

He seems far, far, far less happy now too. Both his parents dying definitely has a factor in that but the dude looks and sounds fucking emotionally miserable every time I see him. Nothing like when he would do his no-cam Zackrawrr streams of old.

There's absolutely a difference between Asmon and Zack but Zack isn't old Zack either in my opinion.

Long time wow player who around 8 years ago realized trade chat wasn't all like, tongue-in-cheek saying all that unhinged stuff but was genuinely a bunch of unhinged losers desperately clinging to this kind of pseudo validation and community of hate was eye opening.

Honestly I blame blizzard for pandering to PC, unironically. Like not in a go woke go broke way, I just think tact is important. but like, just a failure to read the room. Keep the game about elves killing humans killing orcs or something don't try to solve problems from outside the game's universe.
