Twitch streamer Asmongold hit again after his “ugly feminine leads” remark sparked criticism towards him and his personal look.

Both Intergalactic and the forthcoming Witcher 4 sparked discourse about their lead characters.
Asmongold argued, “Making an unsightly character truly is, at greatest, a net-zero impact, and in virtually all instances, a damaging impact.”
Intergalactic’s foremost character, Jordan A. Mun.
“I believe the mindset of placing one thing right into a recreation that gamers actively don’t like is definitely extra essential than the enjoyment of the client — I believe that mindset goes to permeate all the recreation,” he stated.
The streamer made it clear he has no concern with CD Projekt’s The Witcher 4, saving his criticism for Naughty Dog’s recreation.

Following his feedback, many identified the streamer’s personal appears in retaliation.
Asmon responded that he wouldn’t wish to play a personality who appeared like himself in a recreation.
“I at all times discover this humorous: individuals wish to name me ugly, [but] I’m not attempting to place myself within the f*cking recreation! Like, if I noticed a personality that appeared like me in a online game, I’d say, ‘Change it.’ I don’t even wish to be that!” he laughed.
“People like this could cry and b*tch, and get mad, and complain that I’m this or that factor. But on the finish of the day, I’m going to be proper.
“And all people can name me ugly. Everybody can name me racist. Everybody can say I’m a horrible individual. But no person is saying I’m incorrect. And so, we sit round, and we take into consideration this. I’m simply observing this.”
Asmon’s take was criticized by fellow Twitch streamer Hasan, who mocked gamers whose enjoyment of a recreation hinged on whether or not or not they discovered a personality “fappable” or not.
“Not every little thing needs to be prompt gratification. You don’t need to hyper-sexualize each feminine character … You must be ashamed to even have these ideas,” Hasan stated.
