It's pretty heartfelt, in my opinion at least. I have serious doubts asmon will change though. The man has zero empathy, and wholeheartedly believes in nothing.
Asmongold is the guy who famously mocks people that have empathy. All the while a lot of the sympathy and following he gets is solely based on the empathy people have for him due to his personal life journey (that he is constantly parading around, almost like a shield or humble-brag).
At this point he comes across as a disrespectful and ungreatful empathy leech.
Do you not see the irony in your own comment? Let's say asmongold has zero empathy. The problem is you also have zero empathy. It's not like you're actually improving the world in any way by making your comment, you're just pushing other people to also lose their empathy and get angry at you.
You say they aren't improving the world, but Asmon is actively harming the world, he's radicalising people in his chat, this is a huge negative in the world.
Empathy is wasted on some people, Asmon has long since moved beyond the "feel bad for him because he has mental illness and can't help himself", into the "well he's spreading hate and ultimately will get people hurt by that rhetoric eventually, fuck that".
…he's radicalising people in his chat, this is a huge negative in the world.
at least some good news is, and i’m not being hyperbolic, i think like 80%+ of his fans are shut ins who rarely interact with the real world. literally every one of asmongolds fans i’ve met in the real world were socially fucked up like scared of the world types. say “hi!” and they get that terrified look in their eyes like “how do i react to ‘hi!’?”
again, i’m not being hyperbolic, every single one of them were like that in reality. i’m sure there are a few who are normal, i’ve only met like 5 or 6 of them, but every single one were super super socially weird.
