Yesterday, Twitch suspended an account that belonged to streamer and famous YouTuber Zack “Asmongold” Hoyt after he made racist comments about the death of Palestinians in Gaza. Now, the YouTuber has responded to the temporary ban with a surprisingly clear-eyed assessment of the controversy and what led up to it.
“I don’t really want to mince words or, ‘oh I wasn’t justifying or promoting [the genocide],’” He said during a new 20-minute long video on the subject. “I said something about it that was disgusting.”
I’m not saying he’s lying, but maybe give it a moment before rewarding someone for doing basic damage control after doing/saying something heinous. Redemption isn’t an instantaneous process.
What damage?
If you’re going to argue in bad faith, you should at the very least understand the words in the comment and how they are being used.
Im gonna argue how i want any you need to understand that everyone has the right to do exactly that.
