the_dunk_tank
It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

Asmon's actually pretty articulate, he is just extremely selfish and honest. He doesn't give a shit about anyone. That's his entire ethos and shtick, being a hyperindividualist asshole.
Oh really? Maybe it's just the clips I've seen. Him defending reaction content was kinda incoherent to me (at least if I remember right)
He has very absolutist hot takes and then rationalizes himself backwards into it - similar to Amber on CTH tbh. He's pretty good at the rationalizing actually, it's how he can justify being a multi-millionaire who lives in squalor and filth and staying up for days on end and only eating steaks. It's how he can live such a weird alien lifestyle but justify it to himself and his audience as the most efficient, logical way to be (ironically, but not actually). He's an avatar of a lot of gamer's worst anti-social tendencies exaggerated to the extreme, which is why a lot of his audience probably watches is they relate but don't take it to the sweaty anti-social extreme that he does. He is the same way in his overall mentality, idealist and to the extreme about everything because he never goes outside except to drive to mcdonalds - everything is a hypothetical in a vacuum.
Remember, WoW players hate everything and everyone including themselves. They hate the game they play. They hate Blizzard. They hate casuals. They hate tryhards. They hate how easy the game is now (it's never been harder). Their blood is black bile and everything keeps getting worse but they keep paying blizzard money to re-run the same experiences over and over to wring dry any fondness or nostalgia they once had.
Maybe I'm misremembering, and it was actually someone else. It has been a while since I watched it. Moistcritical looks pretty similar so maybe it was him. Or maybe the clips weren't as bad as I remember.
he streams for like several hours a day. I'm sure there are segments of him zoning out because he hasn't eaten a vegetable in a month. A lot of it is just criticism of games or game industry and reacting to people, it didn't get real chuddy and gamergate-y until the past 6 months or so.
hell of an excuse
Imagine being this much of a fucking freak. If you're not going to spread the wealth with family or the broader community, at least spend it on yourself. Bring back ostentatious display of wealth.
Sounds exhausting. Think I'll stick to Peggle
