We can distance ourselves from them, lampoon them, and in general make them unwelcome! I’m not about to just cover for them by saying “oh, it’s just a little death threat from a nobody.”

Pretty sure people already did that, when it happened. This was like what? 2 years ago? 4?

Always remember, people have to validate their unironic outcries of 'gcbtw', so everything has to be the FFXIV community's fault.. despite Asmongold having a community that apparently loves doing this shit to him in just about every game he tries to play. Nope, it has to be our fault because 'gcbtw'.

I never get enough of him mispronouncing the different names in the game X'D I legit laugh every single time he either mispronounces a name or comes up with yet another hilarious pronunciation for a same word he's mispronounced before. I can't blame him since a lot of the names in FF14 are so tough to figure out how to pronounce correctly without hearing them. But after hearing some of these names pronounced (sometimes frequently) in cutscenes yet still mispronouncing them, I'm starting to think he's doing it on purpose and I'm here for it XD

Some people have this weird head canon that FFXIV community is trying to stop him playing the game

Edit : this nice outdated forum removed half of my post which I wrote after I used an mobile emoji which isn't supported it seems

Not really a conspiracy when you had people literally saying this ingame and on social media.

I'm in EU so I haven't seen it personally in-game so not much I, as a invidual can do regards reporting these people.
All I can do it call out the hypocrizy here and on reddit.

You mean like people who play WoW get grouped into the people who are toxic in that game? Aren't we supposed to be held to same standard?

Meme from FFXIV reddit :P

Well, these badly behaved FFXIV players are runining it for the rest of us. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Then why are you, a person inside FFXIV, accepting that generalization and running with it instead of simply addressing the specific people in question while still encouraging the broader community to not act that way?

That's what's so strange about this whole thing. People who claim to be against toxic elements of the community are doing it by making blanket statements that would just feed into any stereotypes that can be held by people outside of the community.

I kinda figured it had to be intentional. Like, I've understood 'Asmongold' is most definitely a role being played live so yeah. I've been watching him do stuff in FFXIV for a few hours now and I definitely get what people meant a while ago when they expressed that they hoped he'd play FFXIV off stream as.. well, Zack, himself, rather than as 'Asmongold'. He'd probably be able to take his time a bit more and understand things if he weren't streaming it and primarily experiencing the game through his stream persona.
