Twitch streamer Asmongold has recently apologized on social media.
He made comments during a live stream about the situation in Palestine.
Asmongold called his remarks “stupid” and admitted they were poorly thought out.
On October 14, during a livestream, he shared his views about the Israel-Palestine conflict.
He expressed he wouldn’t “cry a river” for those who lost their lives in the region.
His reasoning was that he believes these individuals come from a culture he views as inferior.
Many people were quick to criticize his comments.
Other streamers also condemned his words, calling for action to be taken against him.
Brookeab, a streamer with 100 Thieves, referred to his statements as “straight-up racism.”
YouTuber Haix suggested that Asmongold should be punished for violating Twitch’s rules on “Violent Hate Speech.”
Following the backlash, Asmongold took to X (formerly Twitter) to express his regret about the situation. He admitted, “Looking back on it, I was too harsh about the Palestine issue.” He recognized that his comments were inappropriate, saying, “My bad.”
He further clarified, “No one deserves to suffer, regardless of their beliefs or actions that I may disagree with. You deserve better than just me saying foolish things, and I promise to improve.”
Despite his apology, reactions remained mixed. Some criticized his response, suggesting it seemed more like a public relations tactic rather than a genuine expression of remorse.
One user tweeted, calling it a typical PR statement from OTK, the organization Asmongold is associated with.
Others urged him to offer a more straightforward apology, emphasizing he should say “I’m sorry” instead of simply “my bad.”
Twitch streamer Hasan had a direct conversation with Asmongold on another stream. He challenged Asmongold’s views and recommended that he educated himself further by engaging with those knowledgeable about the Israel-Palestine conflict.
As of now, Twitch has not imposed any penalties on Asmongold’s account. Additionally, the organization OTK has yet to publicly comment on the incident.
