    Oh, wait, they have genocide built into their religious books now, do they now?

    “From the cities of these peoples which YHWH your God is giving you as an inheritance, do not let anything that breathes remain alive. You shall surely annihilate them (haḥărēm taḥărîmēm) … just as YHWH your God has commanded you so that they may not teach you to do any of the abominations that they do for their gods, and you thus sin against YHWH your God” Deuteronomy 20:16–17

    Oh, yep, nevermind, I can see it, carry on.

    Step one to not being an asshole is to just stop thinking people should not be alive anymore. That’s literally the easiest thing. Just literally being cool with people being alive.

          For anyone who isn’t aware you can also block channels, click the three dots on the thumbnail and hit the ‘don’t show channel’ button. I tend to block channels that even talk about him cause I’m just not interested in dramatubers either.

      Really can’t stand his dumbass face. The fucking epitome of click bait and reaction faces on thumbnails. Usually just riding whatever negativity hate-train is active for his free clicks and internet points. It’s honestly baffling how this goblin garnered such an army of followers.

    Looks like he made a follow up and apology video. Hopefully he’s serious and actually follows up since it sounds like he’s taking the ban and his father reaching out to him as a wake up call.

      This is far from a one off. He does fucked up shit like this constantly, for years. He’s made millions from the controversy.

        Happens a lot with streamers, they sit there rotting to an audience of yes men, if anyone doesn’t agree they can just remove their opinion, while making money. So it just reinforces the behaviour.

        I have no interest in his content, but I hope he does change. But maybe you are right that he will just slip back again after fostering that toxic environment for another year.

          His subreddit is in full cope mode and losing its collective shit right now. People acting like Hasan set him up or something. Like… no, Hasan tried to save Asmon’s racist ass and give him a way out of the controversy, and instead of taking the help he decided to double-down on his bullshit.

          His entire audience is “anti-woke” weirdo conservative chuds. I made the mistake of clicking on a video of his on YouTube talking about a trailer or something, and half the comments were people yelling about how the game was gonna suck because of women or something.

      Hmm… not bad. I only watched 5ish min, but he seems genuine - that is to say, he realizes he fucked up, not that he’ll actually change anything

      More interesting, to me, as someone that had only heard about this from headlines, you can clearly see the mental illness pervasive in his community by looking at the comments and even moreso by looking at the guy’s room. Dude is someone we should pity, not hate - granted I understand influencers having massive platforms, and well influence

      Still, I wish we could be more like the Palestinians and Arabs he mentions, that checked on him to see if he was ok, instead of the knee-jerk, quick to react Americans we are, that are ready to pounce on a fallen neighbor enemy and eager to find ways we’re different to further divide ourselves

        Oh he for sure has tons of mental issues and illnesses and so does a portion of his community. The thing is, he’s been a major streamer for fucking ever, at this point it’s sort of his fault he’s like that. He’s had loved ones and family try to help over the years but he just has the money to tell them to fuck off. Usually it’s hitting rock bottom that gets people to change but it’s very hard to do that when you have tons of money and don’t do drugs.

    Whatever the topic, it’s best to avoid the opinions of videogame streamers/youtubers on matters outside of videogames.

    I somehow doubt Hoyt has ever lived in Israel/Palestine, speaks Hebrew or Arabic or has ever read the Talmud, Bible or Quaran (even partially, but in a serious manner; one that provides some context on the “styling” of Abrahamic religious texts).

    I haven’t seen much of Hoyt’s content, but the few clips I’ve seen seemed very low effort. If you can’t even be bothered to make good content around videogames, you should definitely avoid narcissistic outbursts on serious matters.

    “They are not the same as us. They come from an inferior culture that is horrible, it kills people for their identity, and it is directly antithetical to everything Western values stand for, and it is an inferior culture in all ways. It is that simple.”

    That santorum extract of a man probably did not see the irony hidden in his sentence. Can we charge this guy ?

      He joked on his feed that he has a dead rat on his windowsill and when the heat of the sun hits it the smell is what wakes him up in the morning.

      This is the guy accusing some folks on the opposite side of the world of having an inferior horrible culture.

            It is the typical ploy employed by those who hold extremist views. Say something radical and wait for the reaction. If the reception is positive you continue on, if it’s negative, you just laugh and say it’s a joke.

              Just to be clear. The radical view in this context is “metal gear solid is going political”

              In this case, it very much was a joke.
