In a recent development within the Twitch community, streamer Nick “Nmplol” has expressed his views on the heated dispute between fellow content creators Zack “Asmongold” and Macaiyla. The conflict centers around their divergent opinions regarding gender-affirming care for minors. Asmongold faced considerable criticism after asserting that the parents of transgender children suffer from a “mental illness”and are influenced by “propaganda.”In response to the controversy, Nmplol publicly sided with Asmongold, declaring that Macaiyla is “getting bodied.”
The clash gained momentum on April 6, 2025, as both Asmongold and Macaiyla exchanged pointed tweets, scrutinizing each other’s beliefs and professional integrity. Nmplol elaborated on the feud in a Discord message, stating:
“Mac getting bodied by daddy asmon – you love to see it”
The Origins of the Asmongold and Macaiyla Feud
The animosity between Asmongold and Macaiyla traces back to comments made during a livestream on April 6, 2025. Asmongold’s controversial statements regarding transgender youth provoked significant backlash online. He remarked:
“Every trans kid is actually a victim of a parent with a mental illness. That’s what I believe. You’ve got a kid that’s 17, right? I mean, it’s a little bit more… it’s, like, not really as definitive. But, like, if you have a kid that’s like pre-puberty and they’re trans, your parents have a mental illness. That’s it.”
A clip of these remarks quickly spread across social media, prompting Macaiyla to counter Asmongold’s assertions. She responded sharply:
“Didn’t this re**rd literally s**t talk me a year ago because I made a comment about trans people but now he’s saying this s**t? Wasn’t his whole premise that I’m making my partner look bad but now he’s making the people who associate with him look horrible every day too lol?????”
Despite the backlash, Asmongold remained resolute in his views, asserting during a subsequent livestream that he believes over 80% of the public aligns with his perspective:
“A lot of people were posting this trying to act like ‘Oh wow, like we’re going to get him (Zack) in trouble for this s**t’ but I’m sorry this like a 90-10 issue, this like beyond even 80-20. Like everybody f**king thinks this. The only reason nobody is saying it is because people are afraid of saying it. The fact is I really don’t give a s**t because f**k, a lot of people hate me all the time so there’s nothing to lose.”
In a bid to clarify his position, Asmongold also released a YouTube video where he reiterated his stance, dismissing claims that his views are controversial. He additionally commented on how mainstream media perpetuates “identity politics”to distract from more pressing issues like class inequalities.
In related news, Asmongold recently voiced surprise over the return of Adin Ross to Twitch following a two-year ban, suggesting that the platform’s decision was unexpected given the circumstances of Ross’s previous ban.
