The Twitch streamer Asmongold likes to criticize things in his streams that he doesn’t agree with. In a recent clip, he reacts to a Gacha game full of revealing men. He criticizes the game for this, but praises a new update to Stellar Blade at another point, which improves the appearance of the protagonist.
What is it about? In a recent YouTube clip from October 09, 2024, titled Women have some explaining to do…
(in German: Frauen haben etwas zu erklären …

He became aware of it through the Subreddit r/gachagaming, which concerns everything related to Gacha games. Users there post the revenues of these games in a ranking. In July, Love and Deepspace was in 2nd place and caught Asmongold’s attention.
Subsequently, he reacted to a trailer of the game.

How does Asmongold react? Asmongold reacts to the trailer, in which several revealing men can be seen seemingly flirting with the player character. There are also physical touches involved. Almost speechless, he watches the trailer and comments in his clip: Oh my God, the game looks like softcore porn.
He mentions several times that the game was in 2nd place in the Gacha ranking for highest revenues that month (July 2024). His chat also mentions that you can only play as a female character.
The comments under the clip are quite misogynistic. The sexualization of men is used in a toxic manner to downplay criticism of the sexualization of women in video games.
Stellar Blade is also often mentioned in the comments. Recently, Asmongold reacted to the new update of Stellar Blade. In his reaction, he described the update as high-quality content
