Baffles me why would anyone watch him at all. Maybe people watch him to see him destroy himself as in many other cases online. It it is that, then fuck all those enablers and let their life be a soulless, joyless, empty life.

People connect with him because he feels relatable and “genuine” and if that boggles you, we who can type and read words vastly underestimate how powerful this kind of “don’t give a shit how stupid people think I am” persona really is.
Why should we be at all surprised when people like Joe Rogan and Donald Trump himself are so popular with people for their “charisma.” Charisma doesn’t mean suave and smart, it means you can charm some certain segment of people, particularly those who can’t tell the difference between confidence and dimwittedness.

I would debate that Asmongold has a Charisma. People, for the reason unbeknownst to me, are enjoying to watch other people destroy themselves. Typically, their target already shows some dysfunctional behavior. Asmon is textbook this case. There is no charisma. He is just attracting spectators by destroying his image and his personality. I saw same happen to many streamers and influencers and Asmon is not a special case. He is the case.

It’s reality TV for incels. Wow look at that unkempt guy in a filthy apartment who’s good at video games. I’m not quite as bad as he is I guess I’ll watch to make myself feel better about the sad life I live in butthole-town USA.
