Asmongold discusses possible six-month streaming break due to family and workload pressures
Popular streamer Asmongold has said he is considering taking a break from streaming for up to six months, citing his father's declining health and the demands of maintaining a consistent broadcast schedule. Speaking during an August 2025 livestream, the creator responded to a video from fellow influencer Tectone, which featured an earlier clip where Asmongold described himself as 'fried' from streaming obligations and managing his father's medical care. 'It's not something I've entirely decided on, but I'm being pulled in a lot of different directions,' he explained. 'I have no idea what's gonna happen. For me, there's a lot of fatigue that sets in.' The 35-year-old streamer said he had previously been a caretaker for his mother for eight years, and is now supporting his father, whose recovery will still require long-term assistance. Asmongold confirmed that no decision has been finalised regarding the length or timing of any potential hiatus. However, many viewers encouraged him to prioritise family. Some suggested he hire an in-home caretaker, but he noted that his father preferred his direct involvement. Messages from fans urged him to spend quality time with his father, with some recommending activities such as camping or fishing. Although Asmongold has taken short breaks from streaming before, a six-month absence would be unusual given his current status as the most-watched streamer in the world, achieved through multi-streaming on both Kick and Twitch. The streamer has built a following since his early days as a World of Warcraft-focused content creator, later expanding into broader commentary. Whether he steps away temporarily or continues his schedule, his audience has expressed support for his decision-making during this period.

Tectone addresses discord drama in the streaming community Tectone on Nmplol Discord Drama | Cinna says Camp Knut Sucks What really went down: Tectone began things by explaining how the drama even started. According to him, it was a blend of: Private messages were leaked between community members. Accusations of toxic behavior between members and mods. A complete breakdown in communication leading to public fallout. Instead of blaming directly and getting straight to the topic, Tectone focused on the bigger picture: how a Discord server can turn toxic when people don't know how to take care of the power, criticism, or even simple disagreements. He explained that things can easily go wrong when human beings lose sight of the fact that there is a human being on the other side of the screen. How It's Affecting Everyone All this drama was not even from behind the scenes, but even fans, mods, and streamers outside the server started to indicate it. Tectone pointed out how it can be draining to content creators when this kind of thing happens to them. Key takeaways from his discussion include People lose trust : Viewers may become disappointed when internal drama becomes a public spectacle and start questioning everything. Damaged reputations: Regardless of whether they are directly involved or not, Their Name gets sucked into this mess. Need for structure: Not having any rules or any concept of roles doesn't sound fun; it sounds chaotic. The words of Tectone are something that many can agree with, and with that said, it seems that online communities cannot merely be popular to operate; they need the leadership and respect of one another. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Se hai un obiettivo, ora scegli la strategia da abbinare eToro Learn More Undo A reflection provided by Tectone on the Nmplol Discord drama itself provides a sensible thought bit on the issue related to the internal tensions of streamer communities.

Tectone accuses OTK of using homophobic slurs off-stream; Asmongold clears his name afterward
A heated clip from Tectone's stream has sparked a fresh wave of controversy in the OTK camp. The gacha game streamer seemingly hinted that some members of OTK have casually thrown around the homophobic F-slur off-camera. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Things escalated when Asmongold stepped in to set the record straight, and now the internet's in full damage-control mode. It Started With a Viral Video On July 7, 2025, a now-viral clip of Tectone discussing the drama involving Nmplol and Donut Operator made its rounds on X (formerly Twitter). In it, he not only defended Donut's questionable tweet but also appeared to imply that using the F-slur behind the scenes wasn't uncommon, even among OTK members. The Nmplol-Donut Operator Fallout Nmplol recently made a controversial joke about the Texas floods and the kids affected by them. Donut Operator, clearly not amused, responded harshly, ending his tweet with a homophobic slur. And then came Tectone's take. While reacting to the entire situation live, he called out the internet for being 'so f**king gay' for trying to bait Donut into drama. He followed that up by insinuating that people in OTK have used the slur off-stream anyway — some even on-stream. 'We All Say That Sh*t Anyway' Tectone didn't backtrack. In fact, he doubled down. According to him, using the slur isn't a big deal unless it's meant to specifically target a gay person with hate. He even admitted to saying it himself just days prior. In his own words: 'I said that sh*t three days ago on stream. Nmp, you're not gay. You don't get to be offended at that sh*t.' He essentially told everyone to chill out, calling it a 'non-issue.' Asmongold Shuts It Down But one major OTK member wasn't letting that fly. Asmongold quickly took to X to shut down any implication that he was involved. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now 'He's not talking about me btw. I would never use that word ever.' So, What Now? The community is now split. Some are defending Tectone's 'realness,' others are calling it out for what it is: casual normalization of a slur that still deeply affects the LGBTQ+ community. And with OTK already navigating past controversies, this just adds more fuel to the fire. Whether more OTK members will respond remains to be seen, but for now, the message is loud and messy, and the internet is watching.

'I'm Going to Have to F**king Say Something':Tectone Calls Out Twitch for Telling Him to Stay Quiet
Image via: YouTube/@Tectone John 'Tectone,' a significant streaming influencer, has brought new fire to the Twitch criticism flame after his recent suspension. On June 26, 2025, the streamer was hit with a seven-day ban following, according to him, a mass report campaign from followers of fellow streamer Denims. The original incident that triggered this backlash came when Tectone used the term 'fuckdoll' when talking about Denims' OnlyFans content. What came next, as described by Tectone, was a targeted and malicious smear campaign full of defaming and baseless allegations such as him being a 's**ual predator who beats women." Twitch's Response: 'Just Ignore It' In a subsequent video statement, Tectone disclosed that Twitch actually reached out to him privately, telling him that he should shut up about the attacks. "They (Twitch) sent me a DM on how to deal with this. And they told me to just ignore them. That's their solution. They want me to just ignore them. Guys, Twitch, you telling me to just ignore them is you telling me to have people send me career-ending false allegations, going after my friends, going after my friends' dead f*king parents, and just ignoring them. What type of disgusting f*king monsters do you have to be, to expect me to be able to be defamed, slandered, have my livelihood ripped away from me!" The apparent inaction from Twitch has understandably left the streamer infuriated, who claims the advice to keep quiet has instead made him feel powerless as he's been subjected to a torrent of harassment and slander. Tectone was unrepentant, going so far as to say that he refuses to stop, even if it leads to additional bans. He maintains that he's not trying to inflame racial bias or violate any policies. He's reacting to what he believes are coordinated, misleading attacks designed to end his career. A Double Standard? By not stepping in to contest the harmful and damaging allegations that Denims and her community are spreading, Tectone feels that Twitch is, at best, letting targeted harassment go unchecked. Tectone's latest explosion on the issue highlights a more troubling problem that many creators have been sounding the alarm on. Platforms' reactions when streamers get hit by bullshit claims or an online mob. To him, Twitch's encouragement to simply 'ignore it' isn't only useless advice. It's an abdication of responsibility to shield creators from tangible harm. As he keeps fighting back, this case can not only go much further, but trigger more important conversations around streamer safety, moderation policy, and the impact of public shaming on streaming platforms. Game On Season 1 continues with Mirabai Chanu's inspiring story. Watch Episode 2 here.

HasanAbi and Tectone complete controversy timeline explained
Image via:HasanAbi/YouTube Allegations sparks drama between top Twitch creators In an escalating controversy that has sent shockwaves through the streaming community, political commentator Hasan "HasanAbi" Piker and game content creator John "Tectone" found themselves at the center of controversy following a volatile exchange over Twitch's moderation policies and unverified assault tussled on May 4, 2025, when Tectone made one of his public outcries against Twitch, stating that he'd leave it altogether unless that which he claims as "terrorist propaganda" is punished severely and quickly. This was a notion directed strongly at Hasanabi, who usually delivers left-moderated political hearsay and then mixes it with some worldly after, HasanAbi responded during a livestream, firing back with harsh words aimed at Tectone: 'bald pervert,' he said, adding fuel to the growing animosity. During the same stream, Hasan addressed broader critiques of his stance on anime subgenres, saying sarcastically, ''Free speech warriors when they see something. Yeah, I'm sorry, man. I'm sorry that I think loli is gross. I know. I know that hurts your feelings.'From there, the situation went downhill quickly. Hasan made a remark interpreted by many as an accusation of sorts against Tectone. "I think so, yeah. I haven't really kept up," he said when asked about Taketone allegedly misbehaving. "Dudes are siding with Tectone. Let them, bro. That, you know, if you want to go down that route, it's not going to be good for you, you know?"Although HasanAbi's statement is couched in terms of an opinion, the implication of a serious accusation engendered an immediate backlash and pleas for clarification; there is still no confirmation of an incident or any formal complaints, and Tectone has as yet offered no public response to any of the previous departure from the OTK collective had already put him in a complicated position in the Twitch ecosystem. Community reactions have been deeply divided, with supporters on both sides rallying to their favorite creators. While the critics of HasanAbi accuse him of being reckless in making allegations in public without any evidence, others see his comments as part of a wider debate on what kind of content should be allowed on as things begin to settle down, both creators remain under a microscope. Whether this marks the end of their feud or merely another chapter in an increasingly personified war of words remains to be seen.
