Asmongold thinks depression is no excuse to end up a wreck
He thinks if you have depression and end up a wreck, it's your fault because you made bad choices while going through it, like turning to alcohol/drugs, overeating, etc. According to him, you're "stupid" if you don't overcome a mental illness that makes people kill themselves.

They should make the opposite of anti-depressants and have people like Asmongold volunteer to show us all how to beat depression, pmsl.

You'd think a man in his 30s would be able to think more critically, considering he's always moaning about those who can't.

Asmongold needs to stay in his lane.

Asmongold isn't the smartest person.
He's basically an opinion maker, like those column writers you find in news papers. They don't know everything and aren't 'right' nor 'correct'.
All asmon is doing is being popular, and as a result of that popularity, steering public opinion of his viewers, since everyone wants to feel along with the community. It's the same principle behind religion and a lot of activistic groups, such as extinction rebellion.

For mental health topics, I recommend looking at mental health professional youtubers instead. (Dr Grande, HealthyGamerGG as examples).

Asmon accidently just picked the lame crosswbow 122dmg scale instead of the golem big bow 188dmg scale in eldon ringo nightreign last stream, while riding a bow build - really genius (happens to the best sometimes lol . . .*false loot decision PTSD from the past incoming*

I'm not an asmongold fan, but I don't hate him for having an opinion. I'm pretty sure he was probably depressed at one time, he might still be, but now hes a millionaire and a bigger political commentator then Hasan. So I don't know what to say..

I've watched enough of him to see that he is projecting insecurities

All these things that he would be vulnerable to, if he hadn't struck the dumb lottery, theres a fragment of his old self he hasnt dealt with and his anger/talking crap is him guarding it
You know what? I think I'll just boycott him.
Asmon ragging on depressed people who end up as a wreck is the best example of projection and zero self awareness I have ever heard.
He's just another example of toxic masculinity that no male should ever strive to be. Asmongold isn't a role model.
is that supposed to be some sort of self flagellation coming from him
No, he's correct. People don't think to question whether things are normal the entire therapy industry is an entirely recent thing, laundering responsibility by "trusting the experts", its a toxic lazy way out.

The industry has exploded in size while manufacturing diagnosis to justify their own existence, basically they have pathologized being normal.

As noted they started labeling kids as ADHD based on the simple fact that half the kids in each class will be born earlier than the others, and thus be less mature.

Its notable that therapy speak is normalized and just rationalization for bad decisions now, and the treatments are just pharma fraud.

No, I just think and research before I post, its interesting the libs on here are very proud of speaking from ignorance as if that were a virtue.

The modern lib is a sycophant for big pharma.

People who can't think out of the box think this trauma industry normal, no it was recently manufactured, and junk science.

asmon should do a charity stream but put "take a shower" as the final goal. but make it unrealistic and unobtainable so he does not have to do it.
if you show him a job application form he dies.
