I’m not shocked at what he said, I’m just surprised he had the balls to say it after playing dumb for 12 months.
Update: Zack Hoyt has now pretended to apologize, too many people think he’s being sincere: https://old.reddit.com/r/LivestreamFail/comments/1g55g44/asmongold_stepping_away_from_leadership_at_otk/
I had some impression of him as being a partially politically ignorant place, but I didn’t realize he was this over the top. I don’t know what Twitch’s track record is like on stuff like this, but if they don’t ban him, they’re implicitly greenlighting a whole hell of a lot of awful. I mean, even by liberal decorum standards, weak as they are for protecting anyone, this is beyond the pale.
I forced myself to listen to it, too, to be sure I wasn’t being misdirected by exaggeration and it’s actually worse to listen to than the quotes make it sound.
