Why is this asmongold guy still getting coverage? I disagree with platforming him, let him die in the shadows

[–] dead@hexbear.net 12 points 1 day ago

This is the list of the top 5 most watched English channels on twitch. #3 is Hasan. #2 is Asmongold. It's not "platforming" when the other person is more famous than you. He's the #2 most watched channel on twitch.

Asmongold is the most watched political commentator on both twitch and youtube. Asmongold gets more views than Ben Shapiro. Asmongold spends most of his stream praising Trump's policies and saying that Left wing policies are wrong. He praises the mass-deportation of immigrants. He praises the arrest of pro-Palestinian protestors. He says that anti-Israel resistance groups are "terrorists". He spreads Zionist talking points. He's #2 channel on twitch and one of the most watched channels on youtube.

At this point, you can't "deplatform" him by not watching him. Left-leaning people already don't watch Asmongold. His viewer base is made up of chuds who agree with him. It is more important to try to correct the lies that Asmongold is spreading. Hasan is responding to Asmongold in this video because Asmongold is telling people that it is good that Hasan was detained by ICE.

Pretty sure this goes to slop/dunktank/whatever we're calling it these days
