Asmongold lashes out at “hall monitor” Twitch culture
Twitch star ‘Asmongold’ is lashing out at the site’s “hall monitor meta,” claiming he’s being overrun with comments asking him to expose and “deplatform” certain creators.
As theTwitchvsKickwars rage on, there’s been a major beef brewing between a few of the scene’s top creators likexQc, Hasan, and Pokimane.
Popular MMO steamerAsmongoldhas alsocommented on the drama here and thereas some ofTwitch’s top talent moves to Kick,while Twitch itself comes under fire forcontroversial changes to its terms of serviceandsubscription splits.
Asmon himself said he’d move to Kick if Twitch’sproposed branded content guidelineshad actually gone through earlier this month — and now, he’s taking umbrage with another issue on both Twitch and other sites.

Although Asmongold has made no bones about his feelings toward the big changes happening to Twitch, he’s also got an issue with the overall culture of the website right now.
According to theWorld of Warcraftstar, he’s been experiencing an influx of commenters asking him to “deplatform” and “tell on” other creators on the site — and he’s tired of it.
“Exhausted with this hall monitor Twitch meta (it’s outside of Twitch, too),” he wrote in a tweet on June 21. “Seems like every day there’s some new crusade to get someone deplatformed, canceled, or just sh*t on. So sick of pu***** coming into my stream to ‘tell’ on a streamer to get them in trouble.”
Asmon says that this isn’t just a Twitch problem, but something he’s been seeing across other websites, as well.

Although it’s unclear if Asmon is referencing a specific scenario or not, it’s clear that he’s had enough of viewers asking him to expose other streamers.
Asmon’s latest post comes on the heels of the streamershowing his support for Hasan amid his ongoing feud with Dr Disrespect— just another chapter in the ongoing drama surrounding Twitch and Kick this June.
