    “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.

      Can we charge this guy ?

      Financially? I don’t see how…

      With clubs and other blunt force objects? I mean, yeah, but is he worth going to jail over?

    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.

    I don’t think he actually plays games anymore. He just says x company/person is finished and here’s why. It’s usually a really bad take.

      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.

    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.

    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.

      I doubt hes done.

        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.

      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

          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.

    What got me was the:

    “I don’t give af, they’re terrible people” “They come from an inferior culture” pic.twitter.com/4kbEy0UYm2

    So… He’s more obviously showing his right wing side more openly. Next he’ll go into holocaust denial. (The same quote could be said about the Jews from a Nazi perspective)
