Asmongold has waded into the controversy around further transphobic statements made by fellow streamer NICKMERCS this week, adding to the turbulent online discussion by claiming the under-fire star’s views are “extremely common.”
Twitch streamer Asmongold always reacts to different events in the streaming sphere, and in one of his recent streams in mid-June he played a clip of NICKMERCS where the streamer outright stated, “There is no such thing as trans people.” NICKMERCS has had a long history of making similar comments, which originally lost him a collaboration with Call Of Duty. Now, Asmongold is throwing his hat into the ring, and while it wasn’t exactly a defence of the Kick-based star, he did suggest things are not so clear cut.
