Twitch streamer Zack “Asmongold” came across a Twitter user who was complaining about violence in World of Warcraft during a stream on his alternative channel, Zackrawrr.
The latter complained about the Population Con-Troll task in Northern Stranglethorn, which required players to kill a total of 15 trolls in the area. Asmongold mockingly asked why there couldn’t be “genocides in a video game” and chastised individuals who objected about such quests: “These people are… such f**king losers. They are so pathetic. Why is it that you can’t have genocides in a video game? Why not! I don’t understand! It’s a f**king game. It’s not real!”
On April 29, Asmongold saw a tweet that included a Twitter user talking about violence in World of Warcraft an hour into his broadcast. He read it out to the audience: “‘I had to take a moment away from stream because this particular quest in Northern Stranglethorn absolutely threw me. It’s like, we’re talking about culling deer before they strip all the vegetation.'”
After a brief period of silence, the co-founder of One True King (OTK) attacked Twitter followers, calling them “losers.” He discussed current trends in video games and used World of Warcraft’s Dragonflight as an illustration. “I hate this and Dragonflight, it’s the same thing! It’s like, every animal you’re killing in Dragonflight, you’re killing them because they are too old. What about killing them because it’s fun! Remember that? That was awesome! And now we’ve got this p**sy s**t that’s being promoted by these p**sies! It makes me so god d*mn mad! I hate this s**t! They’re making the game for p**sies.”
Asmongold continued by expressing his desire to go back to the time when Blizzard Entertainment’s MMORPG focused on “huge, hairy, sweaty males” engaging in combat: “I want to go back to the days where World of Warcraft is about big, hairy, sweaty men beating the s**t out of each other. And, that’s it! There’s nothing else! It’s that simple! It was so good, bro! Remember that Mists of Pandaria cinematic, where it’s like a big, old f**king hairy dude fighting against a big, old f**king sweaty orc? And then, just beating the s**t out of each other. God d*mn, that was good! Remember Warcraft 2? Yeah!”
