Asmongold hits back at criticism over his comments on \u201cfat, ugly\u201d small streamers YouTube: Asmongold TVTwitch streamer Asmongold is hitting back at the outrage he received after claiming that it\u2019s harder for smaller streamers to get views if they\u2019re \u201cfat\u201d or \u201cugly.\u201d Asmongold shook up the internet after giving his viewers an \u201cuncomfortable, sh**ty truth\u201d during a live stream on May 10. During his broadcast, Asmongold claimed that it\u2019s harder for up-and-coming streamers to gain an audience if they aren\u2019t fit or good-looking, claiming that lookism (discrimination against people deemed unattractive) plays a big role in someone\u2019s popularity. \u201cIf you\u2019re ugly, people won\u2019t like you,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd this is even more true for girls. So if you\u2019re really fat and really ugly, it doesn\u2019t matter how funny you are, people just aren\u2019t gonna like you. They don\u2019t want to look at you. That\u2019s it.\u201d Asmongold\u2019s comments sparked a big conversation online. While quite a few netizens agreed with Asmon, saying that attractive streamers are more likely to get attention, others hit out at the streamer for being hypocritical and accused him of fatphobia. However, Asmon is sticking to his hypothetical guns in this particular situation. In a response to Dexerto\u2019s Tweet about his remarks, he said: \u201c900+ comments. I can\u2019t wait to read all of these in bed tonight.\u201d Asmongold addresses outrage over \u201cfat, ugly\u201d streamer remarks He went on to react to the outrage during a subsequent broadcast and continued to argue his point, specifically making mention of comments that lashed out at his appearance. \u201cI think that it\u2019s a benchmark,\u201d Asmon explained. \u201cSo, for example, if there\u2019s something wrong with your face, then it\u2019s a big issue. People don\u2019t wanna look at somebody who has something wrong with their f*ckin\u2019 face.\u201d \u201cBut I would say, in general, if you look at the majority of people that are popular streamers, they are at least average to above-average attractiveness. I\u2019m not talking about myself, okay? I\u2019m saying the other people, the average. That\u2019s just how it is.\u201d \u201cThere are a lot of people out there who don\u2019t understand statistics,\u201d he continued. \u201cIt\u2019s sad, but let\u2019s be real \u2014 the reason people take a comment like this and then turn it around and personally insult me is because they took that comment personally. So don\u2019t get mad at me, get mad at a mirror.\u201d Asmon\u2019s latest comments follow remarks made by Mizkif similarly addressing small streamers, notably telling them to \u201cdo better\u201d and stop blaming low viewership on Twitch.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
