Asmongold calls himself the ‘most pro-trans and pro-LGBT' Twitch streamer; says others are afraid to speak out

(Image via @Asmongold/Instagram) Twitch star Asmongold is no stranger to hot takes, but this time, he's fired up for a cause that's deeply personal. In a June 30 livestream, the popular Just Chatting and political commentator made a bold declaration by calling himself the 'most pro-trans and pro-LGBT' creator on the platform. And in his words— 'nobody else is saying this s**t.' Asmongold Isn't Holding Back Anymore While scrolling through his subreddit on June 30, Asmongold caught a comment warning him that his takes might 'pi** some people off.' Instead of walking it back, he did the opposite. He leaned all the way in — boldly claiming he's not only unbothered by the backlash, but ready to accept apologies in advance from those who'll eventually realize he was right. Yep, he literally said: 'I will be preemptively accepting their apologies...' What for? For not standing up for LGBTQ+ rights when it matters most. 'I'm the Only One With the B*lls to Say It' Asmongold didn't just stop at defending LGBTQ+ rights. He went on to call himself the only Twitch creator who openly stands against the 'bad actors' — those pushing harmful narratives or just staying silent to protect their brand. 'Nobody else is saying this s**t. Nobody is saying this!' He even called out the platform-wide silence on certain LGBTQ+ issues, saying too many streamers are scared of losing their 'radicalized audiences.' According to Asmon, they're more worried about views and donations than real-world rights. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch CFD với công nghệ và tốc độ tốt hơn IC Markets Tìm hiểu thêm Undo From gay marriage to adult transitions, Asmongold made it crystal clear where he stands. He supports it all. Even when addressing complex topics like bathroom access, he said the conversation matters, but it shouldn't be blown out of proportion. Twitch's Silent Majority? Asmongold's rant also sheds light on a bigger issue: the silence of major Twitch creators on polarizing topics. He suggests that fear, not neutrality, keeps them quiet. 'They're afraid,' he claimed. 'Afraid of losing their fanbases that have been radicalized over time.' It's a serious accusation — and one that opens the floor to debate. Are streamers really staying silent out of fear? Or is Asmongold simply louder than most? Whether you love him or loathe him, one thing is clear — Asmongold is saying things most streamers won't. And in today's content landscape, that alone makes him stand out. For real-time updates, scores, and highlights, follow our live coverage of the India vs England Test match here .
