Asmongold calls himself the ‘most pro-trans and pro-LGBT' Twitch streamer; says others are afraid to speak out
Twitch star Asmongold is no stranger to hot takes, but this time, he's fired up for a cause that's deeply personal. In a June 30 livestream, the popular Just Chatting and political commentator made a bold declaration by calling himself the
'most pro-trans and pro-LGBT'
creator on the platform. And in his words—
'nobody else is saying this s**t.'
Asmongold Isn't Holding Back Anymore
While scrolling through his subreddit on June 30, Asmongold caught a comment warning him that his takes might 'pi** some people off.' Instead of walking it back, he did the opposite.
He leaned
all the way in
— boldly claiming he's not only unbothered by the backlash, but ready to accept apologies in advance from those who'll eventually realize he was right. Yep, he literally said:
'I will be preemptively accepting their apologies...'
What for? For not standing up for LGBTQ+ rights when it matters most.
'I'm the Only One With the B*lls to Say It'
Asmongold didn't just stop at defending LGBTQ+ rights. He went on to call himself the
only
Twitch creator who openly stands against the 'bad actors' — those pushing harmful narratives or just staying silent to protect their brand.
'Nobody else is saying this s**t. Nobody is saying this!'
He even called out the platform-wide silence on certain LGBTQ+ issues, saying too many streamers are scared of losing their 'radicalized audiences.' According to Asmon, they're more worried about views and donations than real-world rights.

From gay marriage to adult transitions, Asmongold made it crystal clear where he stands. He supports it all. Even when addressing complex topics like bathroom access, he said the conversation matters, but it shouldn't be blown out of proportion.
Twitch's Silent Majority?
Asmongold's rant also sheds light on a bigger issue: the silence of major Twitch creators on polarizing topics. He suggests that fear, not neutrality, keeps them quiet.
'They're afraid,' he claimed.
'Afraid of losing their fanbases that have been radicalized over time.'
It's a serious accusation — and one that opens the floor to debate. Are streamers really staying silent out of fear? Or is Asmongold simply louder than most?
Whether you love him or loathe him, one thing is clear — Asmongold is saying things most streamers won't. And in today's content landscape, that alone makes him stand out.

‘Ed Sheeran peeche gir gaya': Arijit Singh lookalike's parody of ‘Sapphire' music video goes viral
Last month, British singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran teamed up with Indian playback sensation Arijit Singh for a cross-cultural single titled Sapphire. Blending Western pop with Punjabi musical influences, the track has taken the Internet by storm, marking Sheeran's first collaboration with an Indian artist. Amid the song's growing popularity, fans and content creators have taken to social media with their own takes on the music video. One parody, in particular, has gone viral for its hilarious twist. The parody begins with the creator, who resembles Singh, lip-syncing the Punjabi verse while riding a bike alone. He continues solo through the chorus, with on-screen text humorously reading, 'Ed Sheeran peeche gir gaya' (Ed Sheeran fell off the bike). Shared on Instagram by user @commentrrr with the caption 'Urgent Singh'. The video has amassed over 208K views and 12.8K likes on Instagram, with users flooding the comment section with witty reactions. A post shared by Commentr (@commentrrr) Released on June 5, 2025, Sapphire is the third single from Sheeran's upcoming album Play under Gingerbread Man Records and Atlantic Records UK. The song debuted at number nine on the UK Singles Chart, becoming Sheeran's 43rd top-10 hit in his home country. Arijit Singh's vocals, though uncredited, have been widely praised and are central to the track's Indian-Punjabi theme. The official music video, directed by Liam Pethick, was shot across multiple Indian cities, including Hyderabad, Kolkata, Shillong, and Arijit's hometown, Murshidabad. The visuals capture Sheeran immersed in Indian street culture, riding auto-rickshaws, playing football with local children, and exploring bustling bazaars. Key locations include Sultan Bazar, Ramoji Film City, Falaknuma Palace in Hyderabad, and Jawaharlal Nehru Football Stadium in Shillong. Singh appears throughout the video, including a charming scooter ride shared with Sheeran. The video also features a surprise cameo from Bollywood legend Shah Rukh Khan, who lip-syncs part of the chorus, adding to the video's massive appeal.

Puneet Issar opens up on working with Abhishek Bachchan in 'Refugee' after Amitabh Bachchan's 'Coolie' accident: 'Bohot hi courteous hai, hum dono hanuman bhakt'
Puneet Issar is remembered for 'almost killing' Amitabh Bachchan during 'Coolie'. He had punched Bachchan in the stomach which ruptured his intestine but it was just an accident which took place just as sometimes the timing in action differs. In a recent interview, he recalled the greatness of Big B who called to meet him after the incident and said that it wasn't his fault. He also shared how he lost out on a lot of work after this accident took place and nobody was ready to cast him as a villain. He said in an interview with Siddharth Kannan, "The greatness of Mr Bachchan, he said he wanted to meet me. When he called for me, I was in tears. I kept thinking, 'All this happened because of me.' He said, "I was in tears but he told me, 'Puneet, it's not your fault. Accidents happen during action scenes.'' Puneet added that Bachchan then recalled an incident with Vinod Khanna. He said, "Uss avastha mein he told me he was shooting for an action scene with Vinod Khanna and had to hit him with the glass. During the rehearsals, 10 times, it went fine but during the take, the timing went wrong either by him or Khanna and the glass hit Khanna's chin and he got 7-8 stitches and I was feeling the same thing which you're feeling today." by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like American Investor Warren Buffett Recommends: 5 Books For Turning Your Life Around Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo Interestingly, Puneet worked with Abhishek Bachchan in his debut film 'Refugee'.
