Asmongold's mom passed away.

Sorry, but I have no sympathy left to give on these topics. Because quite frankly the only reason anyone on here cares to make a topic or give their sympathies is because he's e-famous and known. And yes it' sad he lost his mother. But the memorials? Spare me, they wouldn't be around if people didn't know him from some streaming or e-fame, they wouldn't care.

I know this from experience who has lost the parent that raised them, and had an entire community not care at the time.

So don't fake your sympathies to the person just to suck up to them as a fan that pretends they care, as that's worse than not saying anything at all.

people like you should get perma ban from this forum .

Wait, what?!

Oh no, I get it... the forum is a mirror of the XIV community where everything must be perfect and anyone who thinks otherwise is a pariah that must be purged in order to keep the... order.
Thanks for proving my theory that this community is as bad or even worse than other so vilified ones.
One day when you be old enough to attend school, you should study 20th century history. Perhaps it will enlighten you.

People like you (all) should not have access to the internet.

To me Asmongold has said things and still talks in a way sometimes that I disagree with and wouldn't watch someone else for.
But I also think there is a difference between having and saying all of the '' correct '' and currently trendy opinions and views than genuinely being a good person and I do think he falls into the latter.

People seem to have a problem with differentiating between a person and their persona. People just think Asmongold is "IRL" also like in his streams which is far from being the truth. He is basically playing the typical neckbeard gamer stereotype with his streamer persona and when you listen to him on his other channel where he is actually not in that character but just Zack (so himself) there are worlds between them.

I mean we also don't judge actors by the roles they played otherwise you would have to hate all the actors which frequently play villains. To me the thought about streamer personalities being their real personalities is a totally weird concept, they have these personas to entertain people not cause they are like that always irl.

I don't entirely disagree I don't like the celebrity worship either I find a lot of it to be extremely deranged and creepy.

However it does affect most people when they feel some sort of personal connection to the other person.
If there's an author you love who dies most people will feel more about that than if someone they've never interacted with down the block who they've said hello to once dies.

To me this isn't about celebrity worship, it's not BECAUSE he's popular.
It's because I've watched his streams and heard a lot of stories about his mom and knows how much she meant to him and the sacrifices he made for her, and how a lot of people got into FFXIV because of him and the game got more deserved attention.
To a lot of people he has affected their lives positively more than their neighbour or someone living in the same block has.
I think that some of you are getting a bit hung up on this being a popularity contest, it's not about popularity at all at least not to me.

Experiencing death of someone you loved so intensely is a pain like no other. It is something I have experienced as well and fear as those things I love around me (pets, friends, family) grow on in years. He has my condolences.

Personally, this is a post that should have probably been written to him directly (his own platforms like twitch or youtube ?) rather than here. This is probably why it comes off as a bit insincere. Most can empathise with these events, but that's not the problem. Because of his popularity/celebrity status there will always be conflict in deciding how to react. I understand why you would post this, but honestly, this is something best left to that person's personal medias.
