Only heard about him for the first time recently, in the context of the Stop Killing Games initiative. He spoke in support of it (which is a good thing, yay), and is apparently involved in some way in the drama that gave SKG the boost it needed.

Trying to figure out who the hell he is and how he ties into it, I watched one of his videos on YouTube (reacting to someone else’s video about SKG). Instantly got the impression that he’s an asshole… But at least he’s on the right side when it comes to SKG.

He used to play world of Warcraft and seems good at it, at least in the old stuff. Then he got famous and now he’s the guy to watch if you like unhinged untreated mental illnesses. Beats me why anyone cares what this neckbeard thinks. It’s not like he’s done anything with his life

Skg is happy to have any support it can, just keep your cockroaches and dead rat alarm clock on your side of the infinitely wide room.

He will flip-flop the moment SKG is saving a “woke” game.

Oh great, so SKG is another gamer-based alt right recruitment tool or something?

  No, assmond just amhas the magical ability to praise Nazis in one sentence then the very next praise Free health care while then I’m jumping right back to praising genocide.
  
  He has zero political understanding, no foundation and basically just supports what ever is in front of him screaming the loudest.
  
  He’s the equivalent of a 1 year old with keys being jangled in his face.
  
  Long as your loud shiny and telling him your the truth he will believe you zero questions asked.
