Asmongold's self-improvement kick sees him clean biohazard kitchen, evict a wolf spider, then declare himself an 'expert' on racism
Asmongold might genuinely be on a self-improvement kick—even if 'might' is doing a lot of heavy lifting. Despite living in what I'll describe as a hazardously uncleanenvironment, the hyper-popular streamer has experienced a mental wakeup call after Twitch banned him for some overtly racist comments about Palestinians.
Asmongold stated that he'd been «slowly devolving into the most mean-spirited, rude, nasty, callous, psychopathic version of myself», which seems like a spark of self-realisation, but as my fellow PC Gamer writer Andy Chalk pointed out last week, he did promise on his subreddit that he'd «react to a DEI=DIE gaming video first day back to stream».
Listen—I live in doubt that we're going to see a genuine 180. At the very least, it's going to take a while. But I do want to give kudos where kudos are due—Asmongold is absolutely cleaning his house.
Announced via a post on X, and a horrifying before-and-after shot, the streamer proudly displayed a kitchen that probably doesn't smell like a landfill baking in the sun—genuinely a strong first effort. While there's every chance he brought in people to professionally clean it, even that's a step forward, given his internet superstardom has given him enough funding to do that once a week.
When asked if the spider in the 'before' image was a wolf spider, Asmongold replied: «We had a mutual agreement that he could be in the house as long as no wasps. Two f*cking wasps got in so he got evicted.» Fair enough, slackers don't get squatter's rights—it's a shame we lack the technology to give spiders the power of speech, because I'd love to interview this one.
On a more serious note, Asmongold has also started actually going after racism on social media, denouncing a pretty rancid «anti-DEI» podcast for making a reprehensible comment using the ethnic slur «spear chucker», as highlighted by Youtuber Mightykeef, who rightly states: «This isn’t a constructive comment or criticism. He’s simply being racist to be racist.»
