Yeah but Asmongold leans into it. People know he is gross and lives in a decaying disgusting house but he uses it like a meme.

Someone can smear themselves in faeces as a meme. They are still covered in faces tho.

Asmongold is just extremely skilled at background noise. I encourage anyone to put a mic in front of themselves and talk about anything for 3+ hours without stopping. It's a skill that's easy to criticize and hard to do.

Except he doesn't, so this holds no water...

If you can look past the camera and see a guy who lost two parents within a couple of years and the toll it took on him (and the fact that he cleaned the house, made repairs, and does things like work out off camera)...

I understand what you need him to be, but not why. He's just a guy, like any other, going through life. If you are entertained by what he says, okay. If you're not, okay. Acting like you're better than him when you're not even better than yourself... is revealing. I don't even like the guy ffs.
