Asmongold defends Trainwreck after ChocoTaco dubs him a \u201cvillain\u201d over gambling content Twitch: Trainwreckstv\/AsmongoldMMORPG pro Asmongold was quick to jump to his fellow streamer Tyler \u2018TrainwrecksTV\u2019 Niknam\u2019s defense after he was called a \u2018villain\u2019 by content creator ChocoTaco on Twitter for promoting gambling streams. Twitch star Trainwreck has made his name as one of the most popular gambling streamers in the community. Pulling in whopping amounts of cash by hitting the fruit machines, he\u2019s also donated a great deal of money to charity and his fellow streamers. However, it hasn\u2019t helped him to escape the criticism of his fellow creators for promoting gambling during his livestreams, which could have a potentially devastating effect on his influential viewers. It all got too much for Trainwreck on May 29, after his fellow creator \u2018ChocoTaco\u2019 accused him of being a \u201cvillain\u201d who was trying to \u201ccamouflage\u201d himself by doing \u201cgood deeds.\u201d Trainwreck fires back at ChocoTaco On May 29, news circulated that Trainwreck had gifted streamer \u2018GeT_RiGhT\u2019 with a $16k CSGO sticker gift for his birthday. However, ChocoTaco responded to the news with a quote from Star Trek\u2019s Jean-Luc Picard: \u201cVillains who twirl their mustaches are easy to spot. Those who clothe themselves in good deeds are well camouflaged.\u201d Trainwreck quickly fired back in a series of tweets clearly offended by being compared to a \u2018villain.\u2019 As well as having the motives behind his donations questioned \u201cwithout knowing [him] at all.\u201d During the rant, Trainwreck claimed: \u201cThe conclusion you decided to draw didn\u2019t come from some deep reading based on IQ, it came from what I do publicly [\u2026] which contradicts the very f**king quote of hiding my villainous acts in acts of kindness you stupid mother f**ker.\u201d and that no one else could then that presents an entirely different problem, but the issue with that is, the conclusion you decided to draw didn\u2019t come from some deep reading based on IQ, it came from WHAT I DO PUBLICLY, OUT LOUD, TRANSPARENTLY, SAYING IT, DOING IT, WHICH \u2014 Trainwreck (@Trainwreckstv) May 29, 2022 But, ChocoTaco didn\u2019t stop there and openly called out streamers who promote gambling in their content. Especially those who tell \u201cviewers not to do the thing you\u2019re promoting because you know it\u2019s bad.\u201d being paid to promote gambling is bad. It\u2019s worse if you also tell your viewers not to do the thing you\u2019re promoting because you know it\u2019s bad. \u2014 chocoTaco (@chocoTaco) May 29, 2022 Train\u2019s fellow streamer Asmongold also added his voice to the argument by showing his support for the gambling star. In particular, he called out ChocoTaco who claimed he was being \u201charrassed\u201d by Train\u2019s fans. \u201cThe only thing obvious here is that you thought you could talk sh*t to someone then pretend to be a victim when they do the same thing back to you,\u201d Asmongold claimed. \u201cDon\u2019t you think your original post caused people to harass Train? Of course it did, that was your goal when you posted it.\u201d The argument died down as the day wore on. However, this latest dispute is yet more proof of how the streaming community continues to be divided over gambling streams.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
