Asmongold Defends Messy Room: "I Live Like an American"

Twitch and Kick star Asmongold has doubled down on his notoriously messy living conditions. After fellow streamers mocked his grimy setup, the 36-year-old creator fired back with a spirited defence.

His statement? Living in squalor makes him more American than the rest of them.

The controversy kicked off when streamer Denims posted photos of Asmongold's trash-filled room to dismiss his opinions. QTCinderella joined in. Both took shots at his lifestyle choices.

Asmongold didn't back down. Instead, he leaned into the criticism during a recent broadcast.

"I live my life as a normal person," he said. "These people don't."

His argument centres on self-sufficiency versus luxury. While other wealthy streamers hire housecleaners, order groceries, and live pampered lives, Asmongold cleans his own space. When he does clean, anyway.

"If Denims or QTCinderella had a room like that, they'd pay someone to clean it up," Asmongold explained. "Whenever I had a room like that, I cleaned it up myself."

He finished with a bold claim.

"That makes me an actual real American that's connected to the world."

Years of Filth and Found Objects

Asmongold's living situation has been internet folklore for years. His house became a running joke across streaming communities.

The incidents pile up like the rubbish in his room. In early January, he spent three hours cleaning and discovered five rotten burritos. He admitted having no idea how they ended up there.

Previous cleaning sessions unearthed dead animals. In one notorious stream, he claimed to use a deceased rat as an alarm clock. The sun would cook the corpse each morning. The smell would wake him up.

Cockroaches crawled across his shirt during a February 2024 broadcast. Mould grew in various corners. His kitchen sink made fellow OTK member Emiru nearly vomit when she visited.

Even his father weighed in. During a podcast appearance, he described being unable to walk through Asmongold's living room to reach the bathroom. Too much clutter.

The lifestyle extends beyond just mess. Late last year, Asmongold said he went three months without showering, claiming he was "beginning to evolve." He once went six years without washing clothes, buying thrift shop replacements instead of doing laundry.

Money Doesn't Change Everything

The disconnect bothers viewers. Asmongold is wealthy. His earnings from Twitch, YouTube, and other ventures put him in the multi-millionaire bracket.

So why live like this?

Asmongold positions it as authenticity. He refuses to adopt the trappings of wealth that other creators embrace. No personal chefs. No cleaning staff. No luxury lifestyle posts.

"They want to live like celebrities," he said of other streamers. "I just want to live like an American."

His fanbase splits on this defence. Some appreciate the relatability. Others worry about his health and wellbeing. Comments range from supportive to genuinely concerned.

One viewer on the LivestreamFail subreddit compared watching his streams to "an episode of Hoarders."

Another pointed out contradictions in his argument. Asmongold claims to live normally but orders food delivery instead of going out. When called out, fans countered with evidence of him driving to pick up fast food and going on walks.

The American Dream or Nightmare?

Asmongold's framing raises questions about what "living like an American" means. Is it refusing help when you need it? Is it choosing discomfort despite having resources?

Or is it simply exercising freedom to live however you want?

The streamer co-founded One True King (OTK), a major content creation organisation. He once owned Starforge Systems, a gaming PC company. His influence extends far beyond his messy bedroom.

Yet he maintains this lifestyle by choice. Mental health experts have suggested his living conditions might stem from depression. Fans who followed his journey know he cared for his mother during her illnes
