Twitch streamer and famousĀ YouTuber Zack āAsmongoldā HoytĀ has had hisĀ zackrawrr accountĀ banned after a racist rant about Muslims and Palestinians killed in Gaza went viral on social media. āMy bad,ā he shared on X (formerly Twitter) following an online backlash. āLooking back on it, I was way too much of an asshole about the Palestine thing.ā His other Twitch channel,Ā Asmongold, remains up.
In addition to playing games, Hoyt frequently livestreams extended chat sessions where he comments on other peopleās YouTube videos or whatever topics are gaining traction on his dedicated subreddit. In the midst of a recent livestream, he began talking about Israelās war on Gaza, which the Gaza Health Ministry says has killedĀ over 40,000 Palestinians since it beganĀ just over a year ago following the October 7 attack by Hamas.
āIf you want to consider a genocide as a systematic killing of a group of people they have genocide built into Sharia law right now so no Iām not going to cry a fucking river when people who have genocide thatās baked into their laws are getting genocided,ā Hoyt said duringĀ a portion of the stream that was clippedĀ and shared on social media (the original VOD doesnāt appear to be online). āI donāt give a fuck. Theyāre terrible people. Itās not even a question. Itās crazy people donāt see it that way. Theyād be doing the same thing.ā
Surprised it took this long, heās been saying this same shit on Twitch for years now.

Whatās the purpose of your post? It comes off as agreement with his message at worst, and an irrelevant non sequitor at best.

That doesnāt make any sense. Heās a valuable addition toā¦ What general community, humanity? I mean, Iām not disputing that he has a following, I just donāt see how that has anything to do with the discussion around his self-professed and now recanted dogshit awful opinions about the lives of other humans.

I guess I just donāt understand the relevance of his other opinions to the discussion about the specific ones weāre talking about.
āI was served a plate of raw chicken tendersā āThe chef usually makes Michelin quality mealsā
It just doesnāt advance the actual discussion.
could you give an example of some of his valuable opinions?

Most of his followers are probably terrible people too.

So does kamala and trumpā¦ Whatās your point?

You can make out of context things sound like a controversy when youāve got an angry influencer and a large audience. Then people start making up conspiracy theories about turning characters black.
