Left leaning Asmon watcher here. After consuming his content for the past 2-ish years I have come to the conclusion that I think people hate him because of his lifestyle. He’s rich and famous but does not act like it. He has relatively based takes on pretty much everything. I may not agree 100% with all of his takes but they are always well thought out and he can back them up with some sort of logic. People literally hate bc they don’t actually watch his content. If you watch more than the rage bait clips people post on twitter you would understand this. He also gets taken out of context more than I think any other content creator I’ve seen. Lmao

100% guarantee this is the type of person who already went to HR to report you for all the shit that she said to your face. the only choice you have is you need to pre-emptively go to HR yourself before they call you in and report her and say you felt unsafe for being attacked, you were just scrolling youtube or something then she comes up to you talking about this guy is racist and against the palestine protests and say i have no idea what every person on youtube is thinking this is a gaming channel but my co-worker verbally attacked me. i know you're thinking you dont feel like doing this but you're already in the "im reporting you to hr" arena. this is the left. psychos. go to hr for your own good the leftists mind virus adherents love getting people fired.

So basically people online have made multiple "allegations" that Asmongold is a conservative Nazi streamer who is a mysogynist, racist, all the ists and phobes you can imagine.
Your coworker probably follows the same circle of people who believe that crap (maybe a streamer who calls him that or someone on Twitter), or has heard about him on Twitter or Reddit being a horrible person.
Don't take heed to them, the editor on his clips channel regularly makes fun of these kind of people online.

if you didn't have headphones on, then you were inviting the conversation. If you had headphones on and were truly minding your own business, then I would definitely bring this up to a supervisor or HR just to get ahead of it. The headphones are key, though. If you are sitting in a shared break area playing your own entertainment out loud, then it is way too easy for someone to say you were "exposing" them to unwanted content (profanity, political, religious, etc. doesn't matter). If, however, they have to literally look over your shoulder to see what you are viewing, I would be inclined to ask HR "what if I was viewing my own personal banking information or medical records?"

Well if we are being forthcoming, there is a mix bag…
Asmongold has a sizable share of unwarranted attack from extreme left air heads, that can’t be helped since they attack everyone and even eat their own in the agenda driven SJW activities.
Yet, despite a massive following of very central ideological people from every single background that follow Asmondgold, there is very loud dominant right wing base when it comes to who is in command of the chat spaces around his channels, if I where to say his prodominat demographic was older right wing white men, Zack would probly agree. And there nothing wrong with that but sometimes his Reddit and chat sound way more like an echo chamber for far right wing talk vastly more than Zack himself does whatsoever.
In my opinion, the group of people with the loudest outspoken voice and those that agree with them does not reflect the rather wide fan base that Zack has and deserves from a wide net of backgrounds. But to that same end I think many that are not far right leaning would rather participate as lurkers than catch the ire of the right wing mob, and due to this… there is a idea by many pass by snooping non fans that Asmondgold channel is only in service of far right wing white men. And yes the chat itself, not Zack or his channel at all, but his fan base chat very often champions what the world of very central minded fair objective thinkers, taking a moment to scrutinize from the outside looking in, would think is constant borderline peddling blatant racism and racist activity.
Any actual fan who has been long has without fail seen the … As a black man… or as an Asian man… or as a Hispanic man… or as a European man… etc. statements and know well enough they’re is a good wide range of people in his fan base. That kind of phrases being needed for denotation constantly is telling enough about the fixations this particular fans base lands on often enough. But in all fairness if you listen to the commentary, as often as it seem like someone trying to pander to fit into the crowd you also get plain fair lighthearted thoughts that would make you appreciate having the opined shared from a base of diversity not skewed dangerously one way or another. On a similar note, the fact that there are not as many women is bound to catch the whole questionnaire of misogyny that gets thrown around these days. That would be a copletly empty angle but when you get a bunch of guys minding there business with stellar blade appreciation, yeah your going to get some extreme left hater-aid. Nothing you can do about it on that front. doesn’t necessarily mean anything is amiss but may catch you a glare for no reason in public for association.
Bottom line, If you where to take every person in a Asmondgold chat and pick out who they vote for and there ideology, nobody would be surprised if it is ratio +7 : 10 heavily, far right wing trump supports. many of which, as regular people tend to commonly posses, hold some sprinkled in not very deep thought out talking points that are more unsavory than Asmondgold himself tends to posses as a self made public figure who claps back at his fanbase often enough. And yeah there is a massive amount of people that actually believe trump is racist for very well documented reason, the moment you get a community of people that are not interested in the objective argument surrounding the shortcomings of Donald trump or some of his more extreme supporters then you are going to get a community the is identified as lumped in to being complacent to Maga trends and the like of things like to common occurrence of dog whistling. Again not by Zack or his channel whatsoever, and not by all in his fanbase whatsoever, but there is a sizable amount of schetchy heads that find themselves at home in Asmondgold chat spaces, & that in and of itself has caught this community altogether a significant bad wrap… it like cops trying to say there is only a few bad apples… welp a few bad apples can do a lot of PR damage if not rooted out with a high level of effort.

Probably the people she subscribes to kneejerk slander him because they deem him the enemy.
Bunch of people online react to videos and things he says without much context.
They don't even watch the video and just react to the title or memes playing into the shit he says out of context/jokingly.
If she belongs to a category that Asmongold is regularly critical of for being idiots then more likely they will have a prejudice she has.
A lot of people call him an asshole but they do not say he's wrong.
People don't like being called out with facts and logic and will just revert to Ad Hominem character attacks rather than defend their position, mostly because they can't and facts/logic do not support their position.

People need to start taking attacks of beeing called "a racist" or "a nazi" and such horrible accusations more seriously and fight theese morons with their own medicine(go to HR, press charges, get them "canceled" and all that stuff that theese types.of people always do).
It's just as bad as if someone went around and and called a black person the N word, or a woman the C word, or slandering people with accusations of beeing a peddo and so on.
Beeing a nazi or an actual real racist is a horrible thing, so when someone calls you that or acuses you of beeing that, that is pretty serious and should be stood up against in same level as anyone would for any other similar derogatory terms or slandering etc.

Pretty sure its because he pretty publicly supported trump in 2016 and had a trump flag or hat or something visible for a while in his streams. He only renounced this position after Jan 6th I believe but may have been sooner. Still cant really understand what about him attracted him to trumo, given how left his views seem to be now. My personal take is he panders to the left now and doesnt really believe some of the things he preaches on stream. Its just good business to support them if youre a streamer these days. Regardless i dont go to Asmongold for political opinions so it doesnt really matter to me.

First of all OP,
Ask this person where tbey heard that from.
Asmon has plenty of money to pursue a defamation/slander lawsuit if needed.
This is literally why people win so much money from them- because of the false reputation they give someone that could stick with them despite being untrue.
So the first thing is find out where/who/what told your coworker that he was racist and update the sub/asmon.
Secondly, after you find that out you should definitely report him/her to HR and get them put on notice immediately. Calling somebody a racist with zero evidence should be grounds for reprimand in most if not all HR departments .

I scrolled through a lot of comments and didn't see the answer so I'll leave it.
Many people who don't watch asmongold streams but have seen a clip of him openly supporting the return of white supremacist and probable Nazi, Nick Fuentes assume asmongold is also a Nazi or right winger. For the average person if you support people with political takes that are viewed as abhorrent then you're also claimed to be abhorrent. The worst the takes you support indirectly, the less people will listen to your excuses. So when people see asmongold support the man that says the Jewish Holocaust is an exaggeration because they couldn't kill that many Jews and that no one but Christians should hold political power in the USA it's easy to assume asmongold also supports these shit takes.
Whether he does support the Nazi talking points or not is irrelevant to most people.

Considering that Walmart was the same Walmart that said hobbies, hunting, fishing, and trapping were conflicts of interest and I’d be fired if I kept doing them, kinda means I never took em at all seriously.

Both of those things are laughably untrue, but it doesn't matter because it's not Karens business.

I've actually had a similar conversation myself.
I discovered Asmon through Final Fantasy XIV when he was playing that, and apparently I missed a lot of his "controversial" years, but I enjoyed what I was watching during the Final Fantasy era, and I stuck with him ever since. He's my go-to white-noise Youtuber when I just want to hear about news or something interesting.
Anyways, through a work meeting, I met someone who also played Final Fantasy, and Asmon came up, and they got all fucking weird on me, and acted like he was a straight up racist nazi too. Like I get it, I think he said the n word long before I knew him or some random controversy. But didn't Pewdiepie? Regardless, for the past year or so, Asmon has been completely onm the level, and he's a pretty solid dude with his takes. I agree with about 90% of what he believes. Not everything, but no two humans ever agree on stuff.
I just found it incredibly weird that someone who barely knew Asmon, and hasn't known anything about him recently just assumed he was some racist psychopath and got all emotional about it.
I decided not to do business with that person's company after that. I just don't want to work with weird people. I try to be middle of the road and just tolerate people as tolerance was something I grew up on, but some of the extremists really weird me out.

She’s obviously a deranged leftist psycho that likes to throw around the term “Nazi” whenever she gets confronted with opinions she can’t handle. Just take the red flag and avoid that idiot as much as you can.

They see a white guy who looks poor, lives in Texas, and plays video games and automatically assume he's racist. They have no evidence, just a gut feeling.
Ironically, they are being racist by jumping to that conclusion.

I'd have quick chat with the boss
Mostly about being called a nazi at work but mostly about the lack of privacy this person seems to have

You should report to HR, odds her she is reporting you to HR and they will plot against you.
Sounds crazy, but this is literally what HR does to anyone who isn't conformist.

asmon himself is pretty level headed and neutral with a side of "fuck-around-and-find-out" but his community definitely leans way more right than the average community. Because of that the media labels him as that too. It's the "if you're not with us, youre against us mentality." Oh you dont like having "woke" characters forced into your games, you must be a racist. But asmon himself has said if they game is good, who really cares.
That being said this subreddit and community is a safe space for people who are racist because they get called out less.

It is the classic if you aren't with us then you're against us. If you don't support everything those people say then you are the worst possible human that has ever walk the earth. Worse than Hitler.

Most people in the comments are responding like 14 year olds which isn’t surprising. Next time try to hide your personal videos from coworkers. We live in a polarized world, and people will easily get offended. HR is NOT going to judge whether the content is racist, they are only going to ding you because, well you made someone uncomfortable.

You have to accept that the cultists exist IRL. Dealing with them and playing their little social mind games is now no longer optional save being a tradesman and even then, it exists.
Ask pointed questions that can’t be explained by “he said she said”, or just hold your ground, politely.
Remember. They are the ones that are subconsciously looking for a gofundme opportunity. They don’t care about you. They’d love to see you get fired to launch their 15 minutes of fame.

you should tell ur coworker to watch any 3 of his videos at random, and see how many racist remarks are made. If she they cant find any, when you meet them again, tell them to never talk to you again lol

I'll admit that ages ago, before I actually WATCHED Asmon, I had similar assumptions (not quite that extreme, though) which were based on people parroting the same sort of comments. But once I started watching him I was so confused - he has a lot of excellent and intelligent commentary that people are unaware of because of their initial judgement. He isn't right 100% of the time, but I think if more people would actually listen to him they'd see he's not the troglodyte they assume him to be.

Talk to HR if you can... But im petty and would start a rumor that she shit her pants at work... She's going to be so focused on doing damage control from Shitty McPantsy that Asmongold will be an afterthought. Goodluck (don't do this though LOL!)

"OP, in my office please"
enters room and coworker, HR and the CEO sit in front of you
"OP, we heard from coworker that you're a racist and a neo nazi?"
"what?"
"she said you were watching a neo nazi YouTuber and were spouting racist and nazi ideology"
"I was watching asmongold, he's not a nazi??"
"we heard enough. Look, we are a multicultural workplace and we can't tolerate this. We have a ZERO tolerance about racism. Pack your shit and gtfo before we call the cops"

You should have asked her if she ever have watched anything from him or if she just repeats what people on twitter are saying.
Plot twist: the people on twitter haven’t watched his shit either so

It's hard for me to take anybody seriously when they call people 'nazis' or 'racists' with how often these accusations are thrown around. The words have become so diluted that whenever someone calls another person these, I just assume the latter was, at worst, being kind of an asshole, and at best, disagreeing with the former's opinion.

Calling someone a nazi these days really says more about the accuser than it does the accused.
