Asmongold hits back at critics who accuse him of \u201cfaking\u201d mental health issues Twitch: zackrawrrStreamer and OTK owner Asmongold came under fire on his subreddit from fans awaiting a particular piece of content. On a recent stream, Asmon discovered the backlash but was quick to fire back at select viewers accusing him of \u201cfaking\u201d mental health issues. In March 2022 Asmongold and fellow OTK streamers raised $500,000 in support of Ukraine through a series of charity streams. As a tiered reward, Asmongold promised to make another entry in a popular series of streams where he regales viewers with tales of his original runs through major WoW expansions. In his latest stream, Asmongold was browsing his own subreddit when he came across a post counting the 466 days since he promised the content which is still unposted. \u201cYou guys are right on this one I do need to do it,\u201d he said when he discovered the post. Things took a turn, however, when he read some comments on the thread that accused him of embellishing some health issues that plagued him recently. One comment suggesting he would \u201cfake a panic attack\u201d prompted him to ask \u201cWhat\u2019s this weird s**t?\u201d \u201cI just want people to understand, the reason I had that panic attack, it was because I had just spent like 13 hours playing a game,\u201d Asmongold said. \u201cI thought I had a blood clot. I went to the emergency room and got an ultrasound on my leg because I was really scared. That\u2019s why I had a panic attack.\u201d He continued reading the comments, some of which suggested that if they kept harassing him in the thread, he would take another break. A claim Asmongold also refuted. \u201cIt wasn\u2019t because of comments or s**t like that. It had nothing to do with my stream,\u201d he said. \u201cIt did in a way but like, not in that way.\u201d The streamer said that he was fine with people calling him out on the fact he hadn\u2019t uploaded the WoW stream yet. \u201cY\u2019all can talk about this s**t (the Cataclysm video) all you want. That\u2019s fine but don\u2019t say I\u2019m gonna have a f**king panic attack over it,\u201d he said. \u201cI just don\u2019t want people to think I was using some mental or emotional s**t to have to avoid doing a stream.\u201d Asmongold did explain the real reason he hadn\u2019t yet streamed the Cataclysm part of his WoW series yet. \u201cThe reason why it\u2019s harder for me to do the Cataclysm one is because I have to black out so many f**king things,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019m probably just gonna have to put a default black box on the chat, just so nobody can read what\u2019s in there.\u201d The Reddit post that originally called this out has since been deleted and Asmongold hasn\u2019t given a timeframe for when the stream will drop. He did say he understands that he owes it to the people who donated. \u201cI know I need to do it.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
