Asmongold Faces Criticism for Supporting Kick
The popular streamer, Asmongold, is currently under fire for his support of Kick, a gaming platform that has been heavily criticized for its unethical practices. Despite the backlash, Asmongold remains unfazed by the criticism and dismisses those who disagree with him as mere 'haters.' This nonchalant attitude has sparked a heated debate among his fans and followers, who argue that his endorsement of Kick contradicts his previous statements about the importance of fair and ethical gaming practices.
Kick: A Platform with Controversial Past

Many believe that Asmongold's support of Kick goes against his own stance of 'not supporting devs who engage in shady practices.'
One fan comments, 'So Asmongold is once again supporting Kick, despite the fact that they continue to support developers who violate their own campaign terms and fail to deliver to their backers. Additionally, many of their games are unplayable on PC, despite being funded by PC gamers.'

One commenter argues, 'He's always talked about how he despises shady practices by developers and aims to keep gaming clean. However, now he's supporting Kick and their unethical practices.'
Continued Promotion Despite the Controversy

One fan comments, 'I'm a big Asmongold fan, but I believe there's no place for hypocrisy in our industry. I support Kick, but I wish he would be more responsible with his endorsements.'
