Twitch streamer Asmongold has announced that he is stepping back from his positions at OTK Media and boutique PC builder Starforge Systems so he can focus on becoming "a better version of myself for everyone."
Asmongold, known in the real world as Zack Hoyt, sparked outrage earlier this week with a racist tirade about the ongoing genocide of Palestinians at the hands of the Israeli military in Gaza, which the UN says has resulted in the deaths of more than 42,000 people so far, most of them women and children. After describing Palestinians as "terrible people" who have a call to genocide "baked into their laws," he said, "They're not the same as us. They come from an inferior culture that is horrible. It kills people for their identity, and it is directly antithetical to everything Western values stand for, and it is an inferior culture in all ways."
