The Asmongold Palestine comments controversy erupted in October 2024 after the popular Twitch streamer Zack, known as Asmongold, made inflammatory remarks regarding the conflict in Gaza and Middle Eastern culture. During a livestream, he referred to the population as 'inferior' and criticized their societal values, leading to a massive backlash across social media platforms like X and Reddit. The incident resulted in a temporary ban of his 'zackrawrr' channel and prompted a lengthy apology video where he admitted he was 'being an asshole.' Memes surrounding the event typically focus on the contrast between his 'common sense' persona and the extremity of his comments, the aesthetic of his apology videos, and his subsequent decision to step back from leadership roles at Starforge Systems and OTK.
