Twitch star Zack "Asmongold" has responded to netizens making fun of his appearance. During a livestream on December 16, 2024, the Texas-based personality stumbled upon X user @CerberusXt's viral post while browsing his official subreddit.
In the post, @CerberusXt shared a screenshot of Asmongold's recently uploaded video, "Ugly Female Leads in Video Games", along with a zoomed-in photo of the streamer's face. The caption read:
"Ironic."
Upon seeing the post, Asmongold remarked:
"What is this? Oh, boy! This is one of the... so, on Twitter, there are a few, I don't know, I pretty much call them notorious r*tards. You can call them whatever you want. But yeah, that's the word I use. (The streamer reads the title of the Reddit post) 'Proof no Asmon hater watches his video as Twitter/X Community Notes step in.'"
The co-founder of One True King (OTK) then reviewed X user @CerberusXt's post and the comments posted underneath. After discovering that the netizen had blocked him on the social media platform, he said:
"Why am I not able to respond? Does this person have me blocked? Oh, they got me blocked! Okay. I was wondering what that was!"
The Twitch streamer also responded to those calling him "ugly":
"Man... 'Ugly Female Leads In Video Games' and then it's a picture of me. Right? Well, here's the thing - I always find this funny, people want to call me ugly, I'm not trying to put myself in the f**king game! Like, if I saw a character that looked like me in a video game, I'd say, 'Change it.' I don't even want to be that! What is this? Like, what are you talking about? People are so f**king dumb. I don't know what to say! Yeah, it's so, so silly!"

"Nobody is saying I'm wrong" - Asmongold on getting called "ugly" by netizens
Asmongold stated that while netizens on X would continue to call him "ugly and racist," "nobody" is saying he is "wrong" for his opinions on video games:
"People like this can cry and b**ch, and get mad, and complain that I am this or that thing. But at the end of the day, I'm going to be right. And everybody can call me ugly. Everybody can call me racist. Everybody can say I'm a terrible person. But nobody is saying I'm wrong. And so, we sit around, and we think about this. I'm just observing this."
Asmongold recently made headlines for stating that Naughty Dog's new IP, Intergalactic The Heretic Prophet, would fail because the female protagonist "isn't conventionally attractive."
