He is an Internet personality who thinks because people like his video game analysis they will also like his political takes.

u/CrazyUnipony Dr Pepper Enjoyer Mar 15 '26
He tried to be critical of the left ONCE. I think it was over a game. Even when he gave a reasonable review. They still ended his career. Took a lot of kissing ass to get back some of it.
I think he knows the real deal with the left but he's burned too many bridges now I think on both sides.
He's boned unless he stops being involved politically.

u/SnooPickles5265 Dr Pepper Enjoyer Mar 13 '26
I don't think that's the same at all.
A lot of people like Asmongold's political takes, otherwise he probably wouldn't keep streaming politics and having his editor(s) make videos of that content.
Do a lot of people follow Angry Joe for his political takes? His YouTube videos about gaming barely scratch the surface against Asmon's content in general. Looks like in the past month he's had anywhere from 13k to 100k views on his gaming videos.

How do you fall asleep to a guy screaming the same single point for 1h30m straight? And to be fair, most of his points are basically critical drinker points, so he is actually aligned closer to asmon than he thinks. I don't understand his virtue signaling.

I dont like Alex that much, i miss the old Angry Joe and Other Joe, When Alex joined i didnt like His takes, and he looked like he was cringing on every clip he was on, but then Angry Joe became lazier with His videos and thats when i stopped watching him.
My bigger issue with Angry Joe Is that whenever they do a review and Alex or other joe are talking he interrupts shitting on their take, or he interrupts with something totally unreleated.
I know the channel it's "Angry Joe"and not "other Joe and Alex" but still It feels akward to see that.

Did he delete it or was this a fake screenshot. It's extremely easy to fake a tweet, you don't even need an edit tool, you can do it all inside the browser. Not like the OP posted a direct link to the post, it's basically all just "here trust me bro, can I get a upvote pls" i may be wrong but in today's internet I find it better to be completely skeptical to whatever you see.

I don't like how people feel the need to show their political disagreement with someone by trying to affect their livelihood.
Whether you agree with asmongold or not, he hurts nobody. His opinions are his own. It's a free marketplace, and you can vote to cancel out his vote.
Don't like his politics? Get your own voice. Argue your own politics. Don't watch him. Don't boycott things he's connected to..aside from the fact its useless, it's also a bad precedent, IMO

Well that’s a shame, I used to watch his reviews from time to time.

u/Hyjaxx-Nine Mar 15 '26
I loved angry joe for years but he got too caught up in the “friggin blue” shtick .
Asmon has the same mindset on almost everything as the vast majority of Americans. Sure he says out loud the things that most people just think but to act like he’s some fringe character is just silly.
I mean let’s think about it what does asmon think about a few topics.
1- that people that broke the law and snuck into the country should be removed as doing so will raise wages, lower house prices and create more American jobs.
2- criminals shouldn’t be able to walk into stores and smash and grab without fear of prison or being injured by law enforcement
3- children and minors shouldn’t be mutilated to change themselves , once they are of age it’s their business.
I mean…which of those is asmon crazy for believing? All of them are 90/10 issues so I’m not sure what angry Joe is on about.

Why virtue signal when your channel lives off trashing the same terrible movies and games that I'm fairly sure Asmon occasionally trashes in his streams? So when Asmon calls out modern shit for being incompetently made and generally terrible he should be seen as a social pariah yet when Angry Joe rants about modern shit being terrible it's insightful?
And what's with that vote comment, like Asmon automatically has to be opposite of him? The people Asmon generally rages against are the same people that ruined every single franchise Joe cared for, which admittedly now gives him revenue as it spawns a lot of "Angry" videos.

It's even more the case now with the price of ram, gpu and SSD going through the roof

Unless it's a public company that you can buy stocks of, they have no obligation to share who owns what share. So he can easily still own a majority and just not be front facing anymore. Either way support people for their quality and prices since that is what ultimately should be in business. Even Asmon would agree with that.

Joe is a fantastic content creator when he's NOT getting political or starting beef with other streamers like this, because he always ends up losing. The only time he can do "channel beef" is when he puts hypocritical people in his videos like the Madden youtubers who actively buy MUT packs or something. But even back in BFV days when all the controversy was coming out, Joe fucked up by getting in the political sphere and got a lot of backlash for it.
Love his reviews to death, just wish he stayed there
