The streamer Zack Hoyt, known as Asmongold, was banned by Twitch after he rambled in a video about the war in Gaza and said that the people there belonged to an “inferior culture.” The Twitch ban is making waves, although it is only supposed to last for 14 days. One of Asmongold’s colleagues at the organization “One True King” has now spoken out and harshly criticized Asmongold’s fans.
What impact does the ban have? Asmongold has publicly apologized for his statements and said, he has reflected and recognized that he has developed negatively over the past two years.
Asmongold has now stepped down from the leadership role of the group “One True King,” which is a group of content creators who have been collaborating since 2020. Asmongold was the most well-known streamer there. Participants include people like Emiru, Sodapoppin, Esfand, Mizkif, and TecTone – streamers from the WoW scene.
This resignation from One True King affects the other members. Because Asmongold’s fans are looking for a way to vent their anger.
Asmongold’s fans are attacking his organization OTK
These are the consequences for OTK: One of the co-owners of One True King is Nick “Nmplol” Polan.
He has now expressed himself in a Twitch stream about the impact of the ban. He criticizes Asmongold’s fans, who blame his ban and his resignation from the leadership role at OTK on the organization.
Because under tweets about OTK, things like this are now being said:
- “Screw OTK for leaving Asmongold hanging for the most insignificant crap ever”
- “I’m very disappointed that Asmongold apologized for something that wasn’t even wrong.”
- “You are nothing without Asmongold”
- “You dogs stabbed him in the back”
“He doesn’t know you, LiL’ Bro”
This is what the streamer says: NPMLol says:
Guys, you Asmongold defenders are endlessly embarrassing. Listen up: He is our friend, not yours. You really come across as the biggest losers – just stop. Lil’ Bro, he doesn’t know you, stop it. He is our buddy, we talk to him every day – we know him, you don’t know him.
Grow up, focus on yourself, get a job, hit the gym. It’s pathetic: Every single tweet from OTK gets hate messages. It’s just insane. Stop it.
The streamer says: All these postings cast the community in a terrible light. Asmongold is their friend. Just because the fans watch Asmongold all day doesn’t mean they know him well.
He has never experienced such an uproar.
What’s behind it: It is clear that Asmongold presents himself differently in private with his colleagues than he does live on stream. Asmongold will also have a different connection with his colleagues than with his viewers. Asmongold is a successful businessman and has business relationships and obligations that he does not discuss with the viewers. He has explained multiple times that he separates personal matters and business from his appearance on Twitch.
After everything that has been heard, the break that Asmongold is currently taking seems authentic – he appears to be questioning himself and genuinely regrets his recent statements. There is no evil external force pushing him or forcing him to make these statements.
However, the fans seem unwilling to accept this, believing that he is being “betrayed by his friends” in some way – but it does not seem to be that way. The decision for him to step back from OTK appears to genuinely come from Asmongold, who explains that other things in his life, besides streaming, are causing him a lot of stress and have apparently led to negative developments.
The key point for his self-identified negative development over the last few years seems to be 2021, when his mother died and his long-time girlfriend PinkSparkles broke up with him. Asmongold recently talked about this: Asmongold finally explains why he is the way he is
