This is f***ing crazy..

Overview

Asmongold watches a woman’s video essay asking why so few women watch his content. He’s surprised when she reveals that she spent six months watching him before becoming a fan.

The Video Essay

The essayist suggests three reasons women may avoid his channel:

• Enjoying his content could carry social stigma.
• Online culture can be casually hostile toward men.
• His deliberately messy appearance may overshadow what he says.

She also discusses how clips of his blunt political commentary can make him an easy target for people who already dislike male-focused creators. Asmongold pushes back on some of her framing but agrees that people often judge him by his reputation and appearance. He says his intentionally rough language is a deliberate way to make harsh subjects harder to ignore.

The essay’s most amusing turn comes when she concludes that, despite his chaotic chat and provocative delivery, she finds him pragmatic and willing to challenge hypocrisy—and is now officially a fan. Asmongold is especially amused by how reasonable she seems, joking that there must be “something wrong” with her.

Afterward

Asmongold talks about how having a woman on stream brought in more female viewers, defends the cleanliness of his own room, and reacts to a clip about splitting the bill on dates.

He agrees that whoever asks should generally pay, though splitting the bill can make sense when both people are simply figuring out whether they’re interested. Her take surprises him enough that he calls it suspiciously reasonable.
