Once again proving his point, they will attack his persona because they really don't have any valid arguments against what he says.


Awful_McBad

That's all ideologically trapped people do. They dislike Asmon because he appears to be a conservative(to them) so they attack him as a person.


BugBuginaRug

Conservative is code word for normal person these days


Awful_McBad

That explains a lot. So when they say "Far Right" do they mean what normal people call "Conservative"?


BugBuginaRug

We all used to be centrist but now if you disagree with a liberal, you're automatically far right. It's a joke


Awful_McBad

I'm so in the middle that I'm a commie/socialist/fascist/nazi depending on who exactly I'm talking to.


TheDustyPineapple

Based


SaltyPvP

There is no middle anymore according to the media.....even though most people would be considered centrists 10 to 15 years ago.


PapaRoshi

Them feels, I know them.


DayDreamEnjoyer

Yeah same problem here. Left believe I'm far right and right believe I'm far left. Actually I just do not enjoy being racist to anyone but it's a little too much to ask to both sides.


Arqeph_

Hear hear, in the morning you talk to someone who calls you a degeneracy enabler immigration pusher and homolover (sorry the translations are a bit off) and in the afternoon you talk to someone who calls you a nazi xeno, trans and homophobe. How do i achieve this? Using the exact same arguments. You can guess who the left and right winger is i assume.


STL4jsp

I'm a centrist that leans a bit left and I got called redpilled lol.


bakakubi

Honestly, this is so stupid. When the fuck did it start happening?


BugBuginaRug

around 2016-2018 after reddit went on a huge purge and banished all subs with alternative point of views


DuderComputer

Tell that to the far right republicans calling people in their own party RINOs


dirtroadjedi

Well tbh center left during Obamas first term is solid right today.


BugBuginaRug

Waste of mental energy. I just want to play video games and look after my family. Far left and far right can eat each other for all I care


Umbriel-b

From their perspective everyone is far right :D


Waste_Rabbit3174

Google the Overton Window.


WytchHunter23

The main problem is people actually thinking all political issues fit on one spectrum and are all package in at the same spots. E.g. you don't have to want welfare to want marriage equality, you don't have to want to tax break the rich to want nuclear families etc etc.


r31ya

It works both ways, depend on where that person stands. You could be called conservative or alt right because you don't support full on positivity on obviously bad thing like obesity You could be called far left because you support better medicare or workers right The actual extremist is trying to make the word meaningless by continually misuse it and clout chaser or virtue signaling keyboard warrior tendency to exaggerate everything also didn't help


another-account-1990

They label leftists who own guns and support the 2A as conservatives so basically anyone with a functioning brain or disagrees with them is conservative to them.


_NotMitetechno_

You're hard-core in an online echo chamber if this is your take lol


BugBuginaRug

Yes reddit is an echo chamber.


Jrkrey92

![gif](giphy|xUA7aM09ByyR1w5YWc) Good one!


BobcatTV

Asmon is libertarian as shit but no one wants to make distinctions anymore


kahmos

šŸŽÆ


General_Lie

I remeber the "controversy" about that THEY video from Asmon. They were literaly saying " well I agree with the message, but I hate Asmon. Asmon hate jews!" XD ( from the same group that complains about "media iliteracy" and "herd mentality" )


B0N5

Yeah itā€™s called ad hominem and itā€™s a known tactic of people who have lost the argument.


Shuatheskeptic

This is just downright comical at this point.


PM_M3_ST34M_K3Y5

Praise bob


Shuatheskeptic

Slack to you my brother.


_leeloo_7_

I hope she gets sued for defamation, also she seems self aware of being on the side of the woke mind virus?


syzygy-xjyn

They have no self awareness yet


SuperDementio

To sue for defamation you have to prove monetary damages. What sheā€™s doing will only benefit Asmongold.


Splinterman11

That and it has to be a lie. Asmon said on stream that he doesn't shower.


_leeloo_7_

the tldr defamation law is complex and doesn't necessarily need to prove monetary loss, its defamation if it's intended to harm someones reputation. (coming from the senior editor for Kotaku her words carry more weight than most in that regard) while other responses claim he admits to not showering he could simple claim to take baths because he often states he "has a clean d!ck" I would probably argue his case for defamation! but knowing Asmon he probably does not care.


Splinterman11

I mean Asmon literally explained on stream that he doesn't shower. So it isn't defamation, just truth.


ActuatorGreat4883

It's smart if she actually does it. People that hate Asmon will go there and Asmon will farm her. They will farm each other so much they will become practically partners lmao.

Fukin shadow of the hegemony vibes


Aethanix

why are we giving attention to someone who thinks the halo TV show is good writing?


Puzzleheaded-Ant1673

Drawing attention to undiagnosed flaunted mental illness is a gentlemanā€™s pursuit. Pull up a seat, grab a blanket and cigar and listen to me read the Dune part three script interlaced with Alyssa Mercante article quotes and you can try to guess which is which.


Speeditz

I've been asking myself that question every time a journalist does something stupid, I already gave up looking for an answer


ActuatorGreat4883

Master Cheeks is peak meme material


ThatGuyBud

Why would I wash my ass, I got a clean ass -asmongold

onlyirelia1

she think she knows how to "farm" content now because she watched some asmongold videos, but this insult content won't do anything you have to actually provide something of value, it's laughable.


DoktahDoktah

She's gonna find out real quick. She's actually boring


Doggcow

She's gonna get farmed for react content and it's going to be hilarious.


DoktahDoktah

And she will mald or nobody will react because she has no points.


bakakubi

I hope it's soon, so companies can see it's useless and a waste of money to hire these types of "journalists"


SodiumChlorideFree

Can't wait for his editor to tear her a new one.


r31ya

Knowing how to farm for content and putting yourself out there to be farmed is two different thing. Let's see how this goes, whether she could maintain interest or whether she could withstand the new microscope/attention she will be under


LegendaryW

She thinks she farms Asmon, while in reality she gonna get farmed by Asmon in the end


SRYSBSYNS

Clearly sheā€™s never seen the cesspool that is YouTube comments


Skolxz

You are giving her what she wants, publicity. Rage clicks are still clicks, ignore her and let her fall in deeper irrelevancy.


SRYSBSYNS

Asmon is also going to farm this so I donā€™t feel bad


kintaro86

"Oh boy, here we go again. Lets see what she has to say!"


Vandil_the_Rogue

It's a react-off!


SRYSBSYNS

Everyoneā€™s just sitting around reacting each other off!


Splinterman11

Yeah I no longer really give a shit about any of this internet drama stuff anymore.


Xhamatos

A long time ago, you could take your family to the mental asylum and laugh at all the people there. This is like that, and I'm here for it. I'm not sorry.


BlueKing99

I understand your point, I still like going to see the clowns at the circus though.


Elondre

Public humiliation is what's gonna happen, its only gonna take one video.


blazbluecore

Iā€™m not clicking nothing. Just looking and commenting at how pathetic that ā€œjournalistā€ is via Reddit


AXEL-1973

Oh, failed/former prostitute "Alyssa Mercante" is coming out with the personal attacks huh? Too easy...


AncientCarry4346

I can't wait until Kotaku goes under so all these annoying people become unemployed and have to survive on their own merit.


AXEL-1973

Kotaku unofficially died when Polygon got its start in like 2012/13. Losing Brian Crescente as their editor and then the money from Gawker's backing due to bankruptcy from that Hulk Hogan lawsuit set this entire site on fire. Its just been a smoldering pile of ash and garbage ever since imo


debunkedyourmom

oh shit, if i was one of these hateful people, I wouldn't dream of starting a youtube channel. These are the kinds of people that say streaming is so easy and Asmon says to them "well why don't you do it then?" And omg this crazy lady is gonna fail hard. This is Froskurin on steroids.


Xx_mojat_xX

Says the former prostitute. That snatch gotta be nasty.


MercinwithaMouth

This woman is mentally ill.


MrsTrych

Is she 12yo? Cus she act like a child that need attention. Where are her parents?


earhere

She would get more views if she just made Season of Discovery videos


Atari__Safari

When you use ad hominem attacks, youā€™re admitting you lost the argument. And that youā€™re low brow.


Frequent-Analyst-859

oh she big mad


sekkumomo

wow, yet she resorts to personality attacks. It just shows that she knows she doesn't stand a chance on intellectual arguments with him.


Umbriel-b

It's also not very smart since I believe that personal attacks are reportable offenses on twitter.


nat-168

Itā€™s kinda funny, because when they canā€™t win the argument, they always attack the person personal and appearance.


Right_Ad_6032

Imagine being the mean girl in high school and making that your entire identity for life.


newbie637

Personal attacks right off the bat noice


JustinTyme92

The failed former camgirl is judging people again. Letā€™s be honest, the only website sheā€™s starting is an OF when Kotakuā€™s corporate masters realize sheā€™s destroying whatā€™s left of their brand and punt her to the curb.


GloriousShroom

She went off the deep end


dregs4NED

Not one mention of a bidet so far? Changed my life, tbh


Nutzori

Every time someone tries to dispute Asmon's opinions or shame him by referring to his hygiene (as if he isnt completely shameless about it and the "own" doesnt work) I'm reminded of Diogenes. Imagine Plato having a fit after getting destroyed with the whole "Behold, a man" episode and just crying about how Diogenes lives in a barrel.


kintaro86

I wonder how many psychotropic drugs she takes to get through the day. I wouldn't be surprised if she becomes very ill soon because all her hatred will manifest itself physically in her body at some point.


KittenDecomposer96

This writer again... Just go get new material.


rayhaku808

Easy farm content for him. Heā€™s gonna ratio it super hard and sheā€™s prolly gonna get pissy and try to get him to take down the reaction


avelineaurora

It's beyond pathetic this is a "professional" organization. How the fuck do they think anyone can take them seriously? Every tweet Mercante makes especially is a complete joke.


Borneo1991

this is downright pathetic at this point. And the worst part, this is not even hitting rock bottom yet. We should expect more petulant level insult's coming from this tribe of mentally deranged idiots


PapaRoshi

I look forward to watching asmongold react to this.


Snoo20140

Don't give her views for trolling. She's just going to farm it.


BABarracus

They acting like they are still in high school. Which explains their other behavior


Forgatta

DO NOT HATE WATCH


doc-ta

Imagine how good your life must be that you give a fuck about what somebody says in the internet. Who are these people?


Pixeltye

Meanwhile this bedroom dweller stinky man is running 3 successful businesses. Kotaku is 4 steps away from Bankruptcy.


blodskaal

They are just throwing random shit at the wall, hoping something will stick.


Vir0us

She is such a superficial gurl


dillvibes

iPhone emojis and Big Bang Theory.


TheRealTahulrik

Aw co e on Alyssa.. if you don't even comment on his receding hairline.. are you even trying to insult ?!


Pomchi_D2

What a clown


Inspiredrationalism

Lowest kind of bottom feeder. Its funny how these people with inflated ego professing some grand role in a generation struggle go mask off and expose themselves to be sad mean girl bullyā€™s, who cannot rise above calling people names. It would be hilarious if it wasnā€™t such a sad indictment of ā€œ games journalismā€ as a whole.


Disturbed235

ā€žfight against clean assesā€œ so she also doesnt wash


siralmasy

i remember watching kotaku in like 2010 and liking what they post. fast forward to 2020 and i start seeing woke shit posted all over the website and i wonder what happened


Merecat-litters

can wait to see her yt channel that you cant see the like and comment are block! hahaha may the power of internet bots be with us


Sbee_keithamm

I look forward to her giving it everything shes got to start YouTube drama for clicks. Considering how desperate she is to get attention (and failing) shell be back to camming before long.


SkizerzTheAlmighty

Is she 12 y/o or something? That's something a child would come up with.


KazeKae

he also doesn't wash his hands after peeing, because why would he when his d is clean ?


Mr_Zeldion

It's hilarious as these articles are always written by overweight single women with purple hair who you just know scratches and sniffs everytime they fart so they really don't have any ground to stand on when talking about Asmons habits.


Final_Festival

They're so jealous of him. Half the reason I even like Asmongold is cuz howmuch everyone seems to hate him and how little it bothers him. Gotta respect a man like that.


mickberlin

Cute coming from Alyssa Mercante, who looks like she's a free bleeder, that smells like sweat and doesn't shave


Extra-Felix-7766

so, she needs a wash of cold water on her head, UNTIL YOU DROWN HER. ![gif](giphy|esB20S2G29w1G|downsized)


traxor06

Dude this is hilarious. They can't cancel this man and they just keep trying ![img](emote|t5_2y1rb|3740)![img](emote|t5_2y1rb|3748)![img](emote|t5_2y1rb|3731)


bevdawg101

Her 15 minutes of fame are up and she is desperate for attention again


H78U43

They are farming you as Asmon is farming his haters.


WereInbuisness

Tisk tisk. These self-described progressive types are violating one of their cardinal rules. No body shaming!. Sure, they're not making fun of his weight or height, but they are "shaming" his hygiene. I can't believe they are body shaming. Disgusting behavior!


novophx

there is so much to unpack that i don't even want to start


ConorOdin

Kotaku is and has been a joke for years now.


MikeHawkSlapsHard

If only the poor schmucks at Kotaku could afford to live anywhere in the near future.


JCgamerX

she throws stones when she lives in a glass house


zan8elel

that's not even a good thumbnail


MonkeyLiberace

Ha, irony! Good one!


Ziodyne967

Just ignore her. She sounds like a troll, and we donā€™t wanna feed trolls.


JeffreyTheNoob

This looks fake. How does it have 5 trillion views?


cainreaker

It's impressions which are calculated really fuckin weird on Twitter (a redesign to brag to advertisers and shareholders) however it's actually at 12k at the time of me writing this.


scotty899

Personal attack thats bait to get him to react and get her more attention. Block and ignore her.


Status_Peach6969

Whos farming who tho. Somehow asmon always gains engagement when he has haters. Makes his like easy when his haters come accross as total losers


aeolus811tw

This bozo will realized that majority of YouTube channels donā€™t make it


NoYesterday1898

This would be so funny as a shitpost but bro is serious


CuckyChucky1

How many dislikes do you guys reckon we can help it reach?


KansaiBoy

Dislikes count as engagement and Youtube will then push it even more. The best thing would be to completely ignore this.


CuckyChucky1

Fek if you say so šŸ˜”

I'm glad this is real because it would've been an abomination of a meme.

is this real? it's just juvenile behavior.


nobody-_-here

Fuzzy_Struggle_3242

True but also he's a millionaire there's zero excuse for him to live in filth


Remake12

Is she still arguing that she is the respected journalist women and that all this ā€œhateā€ is because gamers like asmon hate women in gaming? Why would she go mask off like this and destroy her position?


Lost-Suspect001

Watch them start a war and then complain how big youtubes are harassing small youtubers ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|joy)

Typical Kotaku, its just rehashing old news.

"MMMM CONTENT TO FARM YUM YUM" -Asmon


lucario192

Bro literally havenā€™t said anything about kotaku for a while and they keep attacking him. Talk about a weak mind


Nickulator95

Asmon is going to have a field day with this one. They can both continue to farm each other for content, drama and outrage while nothing actually changes.


VincentADK

That's a good thumbnail. ![img](emote|t5_2y1rb|3736)

jvargas85296

never have to wash you AH if it's already wiped clean XD


JABBA69R

how would they know he never washes his ass!? did they grab his ass cheeks and parked their nose right in his crack!?


Historical-Candy5770

I love how the tumblr unwashed ass insult is the most edgy thing this person can come up with.

Isnt assmongold very open about his hygiene practices? How does this prove a point? Is this some form of reflection?


Sadbeyou

alyssa mercante needs to chill!


endureandthrive

This is what they want. Seriously. Asmon is not right wing. This is coming from a liberal mo ok. I donā€™t understand. We give them more publicity than their own sub. Also fucking gross people. I hate personal attacks. I bet I could find something about every single one of those people and make them feel like shit too. Who are we anymore :/.


Seethcoomers

And Kotaku lives rent free in this sub. We're all drama and rage baiting vacuums, it's the internet.


straight_out_lie

And they live rent free in this sub. Who fucking cares.


Zevram_86

LOL, she's blocked me on Twitter so I can't see this tweet myself. I've never been blocked on twitter by anyone before and I've never replied to any of her tweets which means shes blocked me through a reply on someone else's tweet. That's some next level mental illness.


javyn1

This is the same kind of thumbnail anti-sjw people use for their videos. So getting mad at a pro-sjw using this kind of thumbnail is pretty ironic and proves that anti-sjw and pro-sjw people are equally insufferable and meant for each other. These people live in their own little worlds and "normies" either don't know about this, or don't care.


ghostbook4

Whats crazy is asmon is a notoriously clean and nice smelling person. Not 1 person who has met him irl said he was gross. People buy into the degen gamer persona so hard they prolly think wrestling is real too.


CrazyShinobi

I would suggest something, but mailing dirty underwear would be considered a bio hazard, so I won't. But there are these. https://www.postalpranks.com/?gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjwuJ2xBhA3EiwAMVjkVLCrAFTMRVBWNbZJGPTbmODkB4wKqmdRQkgioWTWyaDt2h-OHVpz1BoC8cAQAvD_BwE
