"Of course, he's supporting Nazis" - Netizens call out Asmongold for his response to controversial figure Sam Hyde

Popular Twitch streamer Zack "Asmongold" has faced backlash from the online community over his response to contentious internet personality Sam Hyde. On January 1, 2024, a netizen on the r/YouTubeDrama subreddit shared the content creator's recent tweet in response to Sam Hyde's 46-minute-15-second video on X with the caption "Dear Elon". In the video, Hyde delves into topics surrounding culture and genetics, attempting to "educate" Elon Musk.

Here's what the Texas-based personality said to Hyde on the social media platform:

"Glad I could make this happen."

Redditor u/Metalbender00 accused Asmongold of "boosting" Sam Hyde's social media presence, characterizing the latter as a "far-right White supremacist." Hundreds of netizens have expressed their opinions on the situation, with u/Rootbeercutiebooty writing:

"Why am I not surprised? This guy has been complaining about woke politics and other crap, of course, he's supporting Nazis. It's like a weird pipeline," Redditor u/Rootbeercutiebooty commented.

Redditor u/zeromus12 commented on One True King (OTK), the streamer organization co-founded by Zack, supposedly losing sponsors:

"And OTK wonders why they lose sponsors... lmao," Redditor u/zeromus12 said.

According to one community member, no content creator should not provide a platform to Sam Hyde:

"Nobody should be platforming Sam," Redditor u/Hero_of_Whiterun remarked.

On the other hand, Reddit user MandeesTV believes Asmongold's response to Sam Hyde on X was 'ironic':

"The amount of people who can't see this irony is astonishing."

What did Asmongold say after Sam Hyde name-dropped him in a recent video?

During a livestream on January 1, 2024, Asmongold reacted to Sam Hyde's video mentioned above. During the starting moments of the video, Hyde name-dropped the Twitch streamer by saying:

"Glad I got you there, Elon Musk. By the way, please don't watch this if you're not Elon Musk, okay? This is a one-off video that we're doing. This is private, (and) personal. I put this in his email. I don't know how you got it unless you're on the Asmongold Discord server, in which case, you know my every move. Okay? Me and Asmongold have been planning this for a while now. MoistCr1TiKaL is involved."

"What?! Do you guys talk about this a lot on... is this true? You guys, I had no idea! Oh, wow! Holy s**t!"

When Sam Hyde claimed that he and the Just Chatting content creator had been "planning this for a while," Asmongold remarked:

"I didn't know that! I did this? All right! There you go, guys! He (Elon Musk) will watch this. I can almost guarantee you that he will see this."
