Its not a matter of "having privilege" to say it where ever one wants, because frankly regardless or "privilege" its not okay to use that language in some places, especially when a private company providing a service (this game, a restaurant, a church etc" has chosen for the safety of their patrons to not allow the word. This is a very based take, and were you to use this word anywhere near me or my mates down here in Australia regardless of your "privilege" you'd be laid flat on your back for using it.

That’s what thousands of hours of practice with streaming over the years does to a man. That said, as someone who has been practicing public speaking for the past few years I can safely say that most “orators(including myself)” simply miss the point of public speaking. They speak because they enjoy hearing themselves talk and miss the big picture; the message they want to communicate. Instead they prefer to go off on numerous tangents about this and that rather than sticking to what’s important. They can have a great sounding voice and an enviable vocabulary, but without a strong message to communicate their speech might as well be noise.

Why do streamers complain about twitch so much................. "VICTIM MENTALITY." Just make a Twitch website alternative. Stop being so agreeable and start being disagreeable. If ad companies don't want to display their ads over something out of someone's control who cares, if all of the streamers make their own platform and the ad companies are complaining let them complain. Do ad companies care about racism or do they just want a haggling point to offer a lower price on their ads. No one has cahones anymore. See through the BS it's a haggling point that hardly cuts into profit. Do a profit opportunity analysis and you might find that the cost to implement all of these bandaid solutions to hide gamer attitudes might be actually costing twitch more than it would be to just take a lower ad revenue from bigger corporations. If the corporations know that the people on twitch have a high transfer rate they shouldn't care what they are doing. If you cater to a bunch of grungy gamers, who cares what they do. Corporations are narcissistic to the sense that no one literally cares who their customer demographic is yet they think that people do. Example Pepsi commercial..... If streamers think that Twitch is an abusive relationship leave and build your own better company together it is America, stop complaining and start doing. Make the world a more conducive place and stop being a slave/simp to corporations. If you have problem statements go fix them on your own. The death of companies is the lack of listening to their customers. Air BNB didn't start winning until they realized that their most important customer was the house owners, the house owners' domain was to keep the renters happy. Stop being victims as streamers and build your own platform. Y'all got plenty of money together............. Question: Would you continue to play on a game and(or) server that is 100% pay-to-win/Simp-to-win? If the answer is "no" why the fudge are you still there. Think outside your boxes. If Twitch was for you guys they would change their business model canvas revenue streams to maybe take a % tax from all donations thus chaining themselves to the benefits and flourishing of the streamers rather than to corporations marketing through twitch. Twitch is as much a slave to Corporations as streamers are to twitch. Would AIR BNB survive if they changed their Business model revenue stream to primarily make money off of ads, "no." as Asfand said. "It blows my mind how unbelievably stupid this company can be."

I did not know it was a subsidiary but now this suddenly makes sense Amazon is one of the largest corrupt companies in the modern day even down to the little things theres a pair of worker socks from a company you probably heard of named JCB now JCB socks are good because they don't fray and get holes so easily... but I found out through thorough investigation online that amazon, specifically the amazon uk warehouse was selling Counterfeit JCB socks replica's thar JCB did not make and fell apart fraying internally easily within a week! Biden hired somebody who has been workign diligently for years now collecting evidence to prosecute amazon under the full force of U.S. law and she has been given a high position in the top courts of the country I haven't retained enough because this happened when biden became president so I am going off memory but that was the details then I do not know if any of the circumstances have changed since then since I live in the uk. But honestly I think amazons shopping site has gone to hell... it was trustworthy maybe 6-7 years ago for me now but i'm seeing deeply buried reviews of some dodgy crap and amazon cover it fake reviews theres no moderation... heck I wouldn't be surprised if criminals had found a way to use it for laundering money like some sort of grey site as amazon clearly don't care about their customers... and more and more of these scam and counterfeit sellers with dodgy names are appearing especially for electronics on amazon which they do nothing about... I have a better chance getting something working and real from Wish... and that's really saying something considering most the tech comes from shenzen in china!

@@roro803r No. Even if asmon is perma banned from the platform, most of the people will just watch another twitch streamer in their free time. A lot of people will say they will boycott the platform, but reality has shown time and time again that when big streamers get banned, their audience just finds someone else to watch. They will be upset, but wont quit twitch. The only thing like that, that might happen is some asmon viewers switching over to youtube only when he is in the middle of streaming there. The only way twitch will feel their revenue threatened is if a large group of big streamers join together and boycott.

[@flameduel]

@@DennisTea I will say, you are probably underestimating how much TWITCH STREAMERS will boycott the company if Asmongold got perma banned. Asmod is not small streamer anymore, and if big streamers put Twitch on blast, that WILL make them care

LOL looking for any excuse to ban you.

[@Mushimiya]

@@youtubesuresuckscock Uh okay. Go touch some grass.

[@LeroyFaceTV]

What “blows my mind” is that people are mind blown over this, as if twitch hasn’t given unethical suspensions in the past. They started with small streamers, no one spoke out then, now they are moving on to larger streamers and people want to act like this is out of the blue? We’ve known these social platforms are a joke and I don’t understand why we keep brushing their bad decisions under the rug until it happens to a “large” Internet personality.

[@Revale07]

This was very well articulated and so right. Ive been saying this for years. Until the day the use of these idiotic words stop being so highlighted and reacted to in the way these platforms do, use of them will continue as they are effective in their intention. The day this is realised by society is the day it will reduce in frequency. Well said Asmongold

[@Hi_I_am_Ed]

I like how they basically said "yeah, if you want to get a streamer to get banned, just type a stupid word somewhere in a game they are playing". Good job there, twitch. Edit - I do not think doxxing people is the right way to do it tho.

[@ShaunMcInnis]

The most well spoken man on any platform. Truth AOE. Never change.

Totally agree with you 👍👍👏👏👏

[@7ktTube]

true, couldn't agree more!

[@HachiMayoi]

Damn, I was kinda taken back at how professional he was presenting the topic in the video that it kinda sounded like someone in a trial presenting evidence to judges.

[@7ktTube]

@@HachiMayoi objection! speculation 🤣

[@b-3nn1]

This other KZbinr made a really fair point about something on this sort of topic. There have been a select few IRL streamers who randomly stumbled on an actual crime. And while that Vod *could* be used in court to help the victims, Twitch removed it and punished the streamer. Which is so fucking inept, I cant even believe it.

[@realtko92]

Iv'e Thought about something, when "youtubers/streamers" are explaining things there's usually many cuts in the video, realising that Asmongold is doing this in ONE TAKE with no CUTS or no EDITING is heartwarming in this day of age. Asmongold i love that you are so honest and speaking through your heart and explaining things in a grown up and woke person. Much Love.

[@realtko92]

@@RudyTheNinja Yeah he is very Authentic and that is why i like him so much!

[@LinkTheTiger]

Most of those cuts are likely them just going off on a tangent about something they've already covered and don't feel needs to be there. Asmon is just extraordinarily concise.

[@jontraz5993]

@@LinkTheTiger this i agree with. Probably has written his statement and is reading it from his screen. That's the way to stay concise I believe.

[@jordanpenner5437]

I'm really sorry that this has happen to you bro, I've been following you since like 2020. It's unfortunate that twitch cannot actually see their own biased staff member. I do believe if this when up a different chain, I don't think this would have been taken as seriously. Peace out bud. See ya Sunday 😊

[@firstnamefirstlastnamelast9004]

Just started following you here on KZbin. It’s quite apparent, even in the short amount of time that I’ve been watching, that you’re not racist or homophobic. You possess a clear and lively voice; authentic and genuine. You use logic and personal experience in your opinions and tend to judge people on who they are, what they are saying or doing. Not by the color of their skin; by which name they god or what gender the person is that provides them love and acceptance. So if it all helps, people such as my self, already know this is completely ridiculous and that services like twitch think people must have a superpower to be able read between the lines; to find the truth in a pile of BS for themselves, when nothing could be further from the truth. It’s obvious man. You do a great job and I really enjoy you content. Wishing you all them best and continued success my friend.

[@BinahAtala]

I found this outrageous, Asmon is one of the few wholesome content creators in Twich, the dude never recurred to racist, homophobic, transphobic, anti-Semitic nor any other kind of discrimination against anybody.....the dude like you said, keep it civil and educated, he talks about peoples actions and nothing else. Meanwhile there's other streamers in twitch with racist nicknames, emojis or even symbols from the Arian brotherhood.....this is disgusting.

[@Spotastic9]

I've followed him since 2008 or 2009 back when I played WoW regularly. I'm a Brown, nonbinary, queer person and would not have kept following him for this long if he was like that. He gets such hate and he's generally a very king and, especially, authentic human being.

[@lmpedro2b4u96]

If twitch can detect it they should censor it. Instead of blaming the streamer. They need to fix there own shit

[@nickisue044]

They can’t, it want in Twitch chat it was in the game chat

Asmon is the One True King. Extremely articulate and well thought out; always spitting facts. An absolute stand up guy. A legend among men.

[@EclipsisTenebris]

OMG... your comment just made me realize what OTK stands for!

[@silversflow4469]

Funny that he has put full support to all Amazon games New World and Lost Ark in his content, even both of those 2 really kinda shitty games with many criticism but yet, Asmon still always advocate these 2 games and justified for their reputation in the community (even by sacrificing his time playing a real fun game like ff14), and in the end, here’s what Amazon/Twitch paid him back LMAO This reminds me another similar situation that Blizzy used to consider Asmon as a “problem” and treated him like trash, yet he still choose to play wow everyday and support Blizzy by playing and promoting Diablo Disaster on stream (tho some Blizz devs have changed opinion towards him) Lesson he should learn: sometimes some ppl just not worth your support and effort.

[@XeviousGG]

asmon is the man, he's leading a good example

[@TommorowISNAP]

@@silversflow4469 I think this situation can be narrowed down to Asmongold just playing whatever he enjoys, regardless of the support that he receives from these shitty companies. He doesn't need their support, just games he likes.

What pisses me off about this debacle is Twitch (and most every other social media company) is very inconsistent with the enforcement of the rules/community guidelines/etc.

[@TheWarmLettuce]

Hey Asmon, I haven’t been your biggest supporter in the past, but you always come out as the more professional person in these incidents. Dealing with such a large group of people watching your streams/videos is one thing but also having to moderate what you play and how you play because of them is a Herculean task and I see how it’s worn on you over time. I’m sorry you have to deal with this and thank you for constantly being professional even when it’s dealing with blizzard employees openly talking shit to you or entire communities deciding that you’re their number one enemy like they have in the past.

[@TaraSmallss]

This is so insane. Twitch is getting more, and more ridiculous each day. This gives the impression that people can do this to streamers they don’t like, and get them banned. So stupid man

[@Buzz34]

In the next 2weeks Many streamers Will get banned

I think twitch had something to do with the whole thing.
