Streamer Asmongold doubles down on murdering children

On 7 August, streamer Asmongold received a temporary ban after he made comments about the need to murder migrant children. Since then, Asmongold has actually doubled down on his initial comments:

asmongolds response to being banned for advocating to murder migrant children was to double down and then talk about other kinds of children that should also be murdered. i am not even joking. https://t.co/EruJRhwXuh

Asmongold — real name Zack Hoyt — is one of the most popular right-wing streamers in the world. He’s also notorious for his personal hygiene, including his use of the infamous ‘rat alarm clock’. In his own words:

I’ve had many dead rats in the house, but there was a dead rat in the house… I use the dead rat as an alarm clock, because basically I live in Texas. It gets really hot in Texas, and whenever it would get really hot… the house would get hotter, and it would like cook the corpse of the rat, and it would make it smell worse.

So like I would wake up every morning at like 7:30 or 8:00 am.

Like I was ready to fucking go because the first thing that happened is I’d smell that goddamn rat. You know what the fuck? Yeah, this is a, that’s what, it’s a natural alarm. Yeah, free alarm clock.

In his latest controversy, Asmongold was commenting on a video which covered the recent incident in Ceuta. Said incident saw thousands of Moroccans making their way into a Spanish territory that’s situated on the African continent; it also involved Moroccan authorities assisting in the process. As Skwawkbox previously reported for the Canary:

Spanish Transport Minister Óscar Puente has suggested Israel is behind the ‘immigration crisis’ in Spain’s Ceuta enclave in Morocco.

Puente said:

The Moroccan government is widely considered a US client state and is heavily dependent on Israeli weapons supply. Israel and the US have been accused of coordinating the Ceuta crisis, in which thousands of Moroccans poured into the enclave and at least 67 people have died, to punish Spain. Spain’s resistance to Israel’s genocide in Gaza, its refusal to allow US warplanes to use Spanish bases and airspace to attack Iran and Spain’s condemnation of Israel’s racist attack on footballer Lamine Yamal have infuriated the imperialist regimes.

Witnessing footage of these scenes, Asmongold said:

I’d shoot whoever

He further specified:

kids, women, men, anybody.

Asmongold says undocumented children need to get shot if they cross the border with their parents.

Asmongold isn’t sorry

Speaking after the ban, the streamer said said:

So, this is the funniest thing, by the way. I actually don’t even know this is why I got banned. Twitch has never communicated to me what the thing is that I did wrong that got me banned. I’m just guessing it’s probably the thing that everybody was mad about, right?

Asmongold also clarified how he feels about the comments now:

I apologize for absolutely nothing.

He added:

People can say I’m mean, they can say I’m evil, they can say everything, but they’re not saying I’m wrong.

Contrary to this, many people are in fact saying that he’s wrong:

Kyle Kulinski on Asmongold saying he thinks women and children crossing the border illegally are fair game to sh**t:

Hey @Twitch, here’s Asmongold saying he’s not sorry and the behavior that got him suspended won’t stop because he believes he did nothing wrong. He then goes on to say he will submit an appeal. I sincerely hope you deny that appeal and consider an indefinite suspension. https://t.co/evnhej3EFA pic.twitter.com/faEAVk4Fik

Hoyt continued:

And I think that ultimately we should look at a lot of these uncomfortable truths with a lot more of a clear mind rather than allowing it to be polluted by people that I think want to hurt us. People that want to put us in a position that is not advantageous.

And that’s the reason why I communicate the way that I do. It is hopefully to normalize this type of language and for people to see things for what they are rather than what they want them to be. And I think that’s for better and for worse. So that’s the reason why I talk the way that I do.

I’m not sorry.

Moving forwards

While he did vow to ‘tone down his language’, it wasn’t due to any moral concerns:

I’m going to try to obviously tone it down a little bit because I don’t want to get suspended all the time.

If Hoyt is allowed to continue on the platform despite his clarifying comments, it’s a pretty clear sign that Twitch is okay with the promotion of child murder — just so long as it’s tactfully done. And this shouldn’t be that surprising. After all, this stance is no different than that of all the governments and organisations that continued to support Israel despite its ongoing genocide in Gaza.

We live in an increasingly inhuman world, and Asmongold is the poster boy for that.
