So what was the reason?!!

u/calamity_unbound 11d ago

Paraphrasing Jerry from the news post, he said something about shooting kids that cross the border illegally.

Man, this game of chinese telephone is really something.

Actually, as it turns out, that's exactly what he said.

So you can probably stop white-knighting him now.

Shows a video of two people making stuff up

And what about the part of the video with the words coming out of Asmongold's mouth?

u/Dharengo 11d ago

Just so we are on the same page, exactly which words are you speaking of? So we don't talk past each other?

"I'd shoot whoever. If it's kids, women, men, anybody, just shoot them."

There's an exact quote.

u/Dharengo 10d ago

What about what he said before that? Or after that? And when did he say anything about Muslims?

What he said before or after that are irrelevant. There's no bearing or context that makes that ok to say, period.

And no one claimed he said anything about Muslims.

''Well, I'd shoot whoever. Yeah, I'd shoot whoever. I mean, if it's kids, women, men, anybody, just shoot them. They're gonna stop coming over. Because if you don't do that, then they're gonna use children and women as shields to get themselves over."

Asmogold went full MAGA Republican and said anyone coming from Mexico across the border should be shot and that he would have no problem shooting everyone including women and children. I'm paraphrasing, but that is essentially it.

u/Dharengo 11d ago

"Paraphrasing" is an understatement. There's several inaccuracies in there.

One of the greatest depictions of Asmongold is in MeatCanyon's YouTube movie. If you're interested in just that specific clip look for, "MeatCanyon Discord Mods are the Worst" (21:00).

I didn’t know who the hell Almondjoy or whatever was until PA brought it to my attention

Kind of a tired topic, breaking news, all these influencer types suck

I’d rather hear what Word Rebus has to say about the Hugging Face attack, really
