Yesterday, Twitch suspended an account that belonged to streamer and famous YouTuber Zack “Asmongold” Hoyt after he made racist comments about the death of Palestinians in Gaza. Now, the YouTuber has responded to the temporary ban with a surprisingly clear-eyed assessment of the controversy and what led up to it.

“I don’t really want to mince words or, ‘oh I wasn’t justifying or promoting [the genocide],’” He said during a new 20-minute long video on the subject. “I said something about it that was disgusting.”

Did he really have a change of heart just because he got in trouble with Twitch? We know how he is. It's pretty strange to see him walk back any statements after getting backlash. As far as I know he's always been the unapologetic, uncancellable degenerate who lives with rats rotting on the floor and his own blood staining the walls.

Streamers really do be instantly reversing years of their character development just by getting banned from an internet platform for a few weeks
