Zack Hoyt, the popular streamer best known as Asmongold, has had one of his channels temporarily banned from Twitch after garnering backlash for a racist rant about Palestinians and the conflict in Gaza.
Happens a lot with streamers, they sit there rotting to an audience of yes men, if anyone doesn’t agree they can just remove their opinion, while making money. So it just reinforces the behaviour.
I have no interest in his content, but I hope he does change. But maybe you are right that he will just slip back again after fostering that toxic environment for another year.
This is far from a one off. He does fucked up shit like this constantly, for years. He’s made millions from the controversy.
I doubt hes done.

Yeah, I don’t believe the apology for one second. Hes gonna have to prove hes changed over a looong period of time before I actually believe it.
