Twitch streamer Zack “Asmongold”has made headlines once again, this time in response to journalist Alyssa Mercante, who tagged Twitch on X (formerly Twitter) after sharing a clip of him stating that she “deserved”to be harassed. This controversy follows the recent removal of one of Mercante’s YouTube videos, which was taken down for allegedly breaching YouTube’s harassment and bullying policy.
The dynamic between Asmongold and Mercante has evolved through a series of public exchanges. Both parties have commented on each other’s viewpoints, often igniting discussions during Asmongold’s broadcasts.
Asmongold’s Controversial Remarks
In his latest reaction to Mercante’s post tagging Twitch, Asmongold responded defiantly:
“Throw stones while you live in a glass house, and the moment that there’s a single crack in it, now, everybody else has to think about your f**king feelings. It’s ridiculous, this is insane. No, I’m not sorry about you getting harassed, I don’t give a f**k because I didn’t do it.”
Asmongold’s comments come on the heels of detailed responses to Mercante’s grievances surrounding her video’s deletion. During a recent Twitch broadcast, he remarked:
“She did get harassed, and she deserved it. And um, that’s what happens…”
Additionally, another clip referenced by Mercante included Asmongold’s statements about the nature of her professional struggles:
“You have actively pushed back against them, and you have to keep them in the hole where they belong, and the fact is that, that’s what we’re doing. That’s why she’s a waitress now. That’s why all this has happened, and we’re going to keep doing it. We’re going to send every single f**king one of them back to McDonald’s…”
Claims of Harassment in Online Conflict
Asmongold further elaborated on Mercante’s perspective, challenging her assertion that she is the sole victim in their ongoing conflict:
“She thinks that writing things and saying this stuff doesn’t have anything to do with me getting harassed… So, now the only person that can get harassed is her. She’s the only person that can get harassed. I never get harassed, right? Nobody ever sends me death threats.”
In an effort to clarify his stance on dealing with harassment, Asmongold offered insight into his approach as a content creator:
“Do you want to know the reason why? It’s because I don’t talk about it, because I know how it is. If you’re a chicken and you start bleeding, every other chicken pecks you to death, and the only way to stop that, if you’re a content creator, is you don’t f**king bleed. I don’t talk about this sh**.”
Latest Developments
In related news, Asmongold recently addressed serious allegations involving a purported relationship with an underage individual. He characterized these claims, which surfaced in a Reddit post, as “fanfiction”and expressed his intention to minimize any attention given to them.
