Asmongold discusses questionable jokes in World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King Classic
Since the beginning of the month, the One True King (OTK) co-founder has been streaming on his alternate Twitch channel and has spent most of his time leveling up a new character.
On September 4, the broadcaster hosted a five-hour long stream. While advancing through the dungeon, a player’s in-game character delivered a scripted joke. The Austin, Texas, native opined:
“You know the best thing about a joke like that? It’s like, you legitimately don’t know if that joke was added in because of some freak that worked at Blizzard, who thought that was hot. You know? Like, that’s the first thing I think of.”
Asmongold continued the discussion by stating that he did not consider the inclusion of such jokes to be a “big deal”. He stated:
“I don’t think it’s a big deal. I really don’t. I think all the people that got their feelings hurt about some f***ing joke in the game, just like... f***k dude. You got to like, think about how many other problems are in the world. It’s like, this is what you want to change? I don’t know. I just, I don’t think it matters at all. I don’t care about that stuff.”

Asmongold continued his World of Warcraft journey the next day. Another incident involving a player making an in-game joke occurred at the three-hour mark.
The content creator recalled his comments from the previous day’s broadcast and expressed surprise that Blizzard Entertainment had not removed the aforementioned content from the game. He sarcastically mentioned:
“Not because they’re wrong, it’s because they’re right. I mean, damn! That much truth? I mean, f**k! Hell yeah, man!”
