We often get to see content creators doing all kinds of charity work on and off the streaming platform
One of the most famous streamers to do such kind of things is Asmongold. In case you don’t know him, he is an American content creator, YouTuber, streamer, and internet celebrity.
Fans mostly know him for his World of Warcraft gaming and highly entertaining and humorous commentary. His charities got him even more recognition in the streaming world. However, one of them didn’t go as he wanted it to go.
The Failed $200,000 Charity Goal
About 16 months ago, Asmongold revealed that he would upload a “True Story of Asmongold: Cataclysm” stream. But, he set a charity goal of $200,000 after which he would post the content.
Now, the fans met the charity goal almost immediately, but they didn’t get what they were waiting for. A Redditor started out a thread on the site where the tricked fans agreed that Asmongold failed to fulfil the charity goal. The streamer actually saw the complaints during one of his live broadcasts. Gaming experts analyzed the stream and concluded that the streamer may have deliberately lied to his fans.
During it, he said that the fans were right and that he needed to do what he promised. After that, he revealed that he is getting a panic attack and looked surprised about some of the comments.
This happened on the 6th of July 2023, after which some fans are thinking that he is faking his panic attacks. They think that he is faking it just so he can avoid creating the featured content.
Some other Reddit users even blamed him for not donating the promised money from his donations stream. They also think that Asmongold’s frustration comes exactly from these allegations.
Asmongold Mental Health
Here, we must mention that the former OTK founder is very open about his mental health. He took a break from streaming in October 2021, after the passing away of his mother. After that, he started streaming more on his second account, zackawrr.
In June 2023, he finally returned to his main account for providing content on the much-anticipated Diablo 4. However, this stream didn’t go as planned as he suffered a panic attack and went to the ER. That live broadcast lasted for 13 hours before the incident.
Asmongold revealed that it’s fine for his viewers to criticize him for not providing the stream that he promised. But, he doesn’t agree with the harsh comments about his mental health issues. He also said that he doesn’t want fans to think that his using those issues to get away from doing a stream.
The popular streamer explained to his viewers that it is hard for him to film the Cataclysm video, as it required a lot of redacting. He also said that there were too many things to black out. Then he stated that he would probably put a default black box on the chat, so no one can read what is in there.
Judging from all this, we think that Asmongold does intend to deliver his promise. However, the actual date remains a mystery for now.
