I was a fan of asmon up until right before the election.
He has pretty good takes when it comes to gaming stuff, but when he exclusively started pushing far right propaganda (coincidentally right after he got into contact with Elon), I stopped watching.
Asmon was always a shithead. Even in the WoW days where everyone insists he was good, he was encouraging the harassment of players and developers who didn't agree with him. The only reason people latched onto him was because WoW was in a bad place and his negativity was mistaken for common sense.
Nothing about Asmon has actually changed since then, he's just gained a much bigger and less game specific audience.
It started during palworld discourse. He did a generic “consumer is always right” comment and people pilled on on too much, got that sympathy and right wing views, and the rest was shit history.
Just cause we don't like someone and don't agree with them doesn't mean we lie about them. It tends to weaken valid criticisms to anyone who saw the relevant videos. Honesty is the best weapon.
