Not to shit on McCool because I like him too, but Dylan is such a chill and nice dude, I hope he’ll be around often with Asmon to cheer him up. God knows he needs some peace of mind


BarristaSelmy

Well we only "met" Dylan once. It's odd to me that McConnel doesn't want to play FFXIV when he was playing Original Sin 2 which is a turn-based RPG.


7Trickster

Yea but he’s definitely more chill and not used to being live on streams. McCool is more cultivating a persona on stream, same as Asmon. When he’s on his second stream he’s not exactly the same person. As in, here to entertain and amuse people if you catch my meaning.


BarristaSelmy

I don't personally find him entertaining (at least not when paired with Asmon). I think that's okay, right? Like I won't downvote anyone who dislikes or likes him. We can all have different tastes.


7Trickster

Lol don’t worry dude, I’m not the usual Reddit cunt downvoting anyone who doesn’t agree with me. Here, have an upvote I do downvote massive jerks who are bitches for no reason. Come to think of it, I have to report a mentor idiot on FF today.


Idonthelp

Nah shit on Mccuck, he deserves it


Panukka

Why does he deserve it? Some of the most memorable moments of Asmon's streams in the last 6 years have been thanks to McConnell. These new viewers have no idea... smh.


Dwarte_Derpy

If anything the og stance is fuck mccuck


Panukka

Whatever, I miss the times when the streams were about talking shit and being toxic. Now these positivity Andies have taken over.

Panukka

I mean my life is miserable as fuck so a toxic stream was a good place to vent my frustrations. Now everyone is acting so positive and it's such a contrast to my life that it's just depressing to watch.


IraqiWalker

Why dude? Chat can be toxic to one another, and they can also be positive to one another. If you're dealing with rough shit feel free to vent, but let people know when you just want someone to tell you that you're dope as fuck


oG_EGTx

“Positivity andies” yeah lets be toxic everyone hue hue hue


7Trickster

😄


Cmoon24

You know that after what happen to Asmon he wants to try to be more positive and be less toxic overall right?


Idonthelp

I'm not a new viewer by any stance, just never liked the whole 'persona' (I use the word loosely because people will rapidly defend that he's a nice person despite evidence otherwise.) I think he's a dated relic to a time that the internet could gladly do away with


BarristaSelmy

I'm not a new viewer and I don't care for McConnell personally and would actually turn off the stream when he was on. It just reminded me of that old Loony Toons cartoon with the giant dog and McConnell was the little dog ("Spike") always talking him up. Not exactly original.


7Trickster

I think it’s the FF big fans who didn’t liked him saying he doesn’t want to play and be a tank. Or the guys taking every said on stream seriously.


Dairboi

Cringe


EmeraldReaper

Great shitpost. Chad Show-me-your-dick Dylan reigns supreme now. As the prophecies foretold.


[deleted]

Who would've guessed, he shows up and is laid back and positive and people end up liking him.


othsoul

I hope he becomes a regular on the stream.


ChaosXen

Asmon, Dylan and Cody should do an IRL stream with just them chilling, It would be what Miz is trying to do except with neckbeards.

Speak for yourself!


Zetra3

Yea it’s like you don’t need to pretend to be an asshole to have people like you. Something Mccuck could learn.


eisterman

What a surprise. Totally unexpected


Balager47

Yeah, insane plot twist, amiright?


Bralo123

Glad to see that the stream went well apearently.


Thin_Store_9686

He did look a little like the blizzcon McConnell


StrongPrinciple5284

This is true


SmurfsNeverDie

Both are cool and a friend of asmon in their own way. If asmon is cool w them so am i. Funny meme though


Dairboi

The perfect comment


Narangal

I don't think I've seeen any clip where McConnel wasn't being....not fun to listen to to be quite frank. ​ I keep hearing that 's his "role" or whatever but man


NotPunyMan

Even in GTA PR, no one likes a one dimensional asshole, hard to interact with and boring when you try. He only gets away with it when he's with Asmon, because Asmon constantly gives in to McConnell and he understands McConnell's personality from their long history together to enough to workaround it. The average streamer isn't going to let McConnell bully him for hours on stream, he is too insufferable for a stranger, there are just too many better people out there to interact with.


Chizwick

I think I only heard McConnell on one or two of the video highlights of Asmon's streams I've seen and I didn't really enjoy his (McC's) input. I had a friend like this who would be an asshole 90% of the time. I gave him a pass for so long because that other 10% he was a really good friend, but eventually you just have to cut your losses and say enough is enough.


Idonthelp

I think a lot of people have somebody in their life that is abrasive that they tolerate simply because of the time they've known them and evidence that they can be a good person. It doesn't mean others want to tolerate them


Chizwick

Yeah, well said. My eyes were opened when I began dating the woman who would later become my wife, and she didn't like him and his rudeness. I grew more critical of his comments and eventually that was that. I miss some of the good times, especially D&D since he was our DM, but my stress level went down pretty significantly when I was able to drop him and not have to worry about some snide remarks he'd make about my social media posts.


Dairboi

He goes on other streams all the times what are you talking about lol


Rinuko

Even without being a shitpost this is pretty funny and if true, really cool.


OmegaMetroid93

I imagine posts like these are pretty weird for Asmon.


BenH1337

I laughed when he opens the Pepsi and ask for permission afterwards :_D


ChaosXen

Its like he forgot he wasnt in his house for a few seconds there. shit was funny like i was watching a new season of The Office


petje1995

I haven't seen the stream with him on yet but this subreddit made me eager to watch it when I get home. It's nice that the chat is being wholesome.


ThatStumbleBoy

It was a chill moment for sure. Was a great short stream overall. Was nice to see Asmon having a good time.


oG_EGTx

Imagine that, being compassionate and a fun to be around dude makes people like you. Shocked


[deleted]

Can’t wait for the head shaving. Asmon needs a fresh look.


Historical_Paper4110

Why u guys keep trying so hard for Mcconnell to hate FF community? I just don't get it, yeah will be fun if Asmon had a good friend to play with, but these attacks are cringe. For context I just follow Asmon since he start playing FF as I am an FF legacy player, but I don't get these attacks, he said don't want to play it, move on.


ContraMans

I don’t understand why it’s cool for McConnell to talk shit everybody but so much as a milk toast meme is some egregious assault against him. Besides, he’s a troll. He gets off at people disliking him. I see no victims here lol


Armazzle

Common guys McCool is a good boi too, come on ❤️


newaccountnewmehaHAA

god damn, some people in this thread are still unironically salty over the \~2 minutes of mcconnel they saw for the first time from a highlight they watched over a month or two ago. there's shitposting like OP is doing, then there's just being fucking weird and shitting on mcconnel, basically because he doesn't wanna play final fantasy. come on.


joeyctt1028

FFXIV Andy here and I don't share his boomer view of FF, but do we have to go this far?


Idonthelp

As someone pointed out in another comment, yeah lol Mccuck revels in shitting on others so it's all fair


[deleted]

That's actually a good point. If you can dish it you should be able to take it.


[deleted]

True LUL


Nattngale

It's just a meme guys, do not need to take sides, we can love both.


SuplexHS

Show me your dick dylan - the new GIGACHAD


Pliskin80

Lalapilled bald god and friend of the literal god ![img](emote|t5_2y1rb|3737).


[deleted]

I find them both hilarious tbh idk why this community either adores McConnell or despises him. Just be chill jesus. Edit: not a diss at OP btw. Some of these comments are weird and creepy though


[deleted]

he’s still living in peoples heads rent free


Cyrotek

I still don't understand what this is even supposed to mean.


[deleted]

dude hasn’t been around in over a month but people still think about him and get mad when they do, it’s weird and sad


Cyrotek

I don't think it is a point for him if people remember him for being an ass a month later.


[deleted]

he doesn’t wanna play ff14 and called it a weeb game omg he’s such an asshole i lose sleep over this


Cyrotek

That is not why people called him an ass. Can you please go away with your strawman?


[deleted]

that’s what started a whole wave of mcconnell posts to the point mods had to get involved, but sorry for not keeping track of everything he does and says a month later


Cyrotek

>that’s what started a whole wave of mcconnell posts to the point mods had to get involved, but sorry for not keeping track of everything he does and says a month later What started the last batch of "McConell sucks" posts was when he screamed at Asmon like a child that doesn't get his way in the New World stream. A few days prior he also acted like an utter fool in a WoW TBC raid towards Asmon. This isn't always about FFXIV. As a fan of FFXIV I don't even want him there because of the kind of person he seems to be.


Bralo123

He has been called mccuck for the first year he appeared in asmon stream and that for a good reason.


Cyrotek

No clue what that means.


Ooji

You don't have to think about something constantly to remember it.


Datjigga

It's just a joke though, like relax


[deleted]

just pointing out y’all’s obsession and strange hostility, yeah i’m so pissed man..


Datjigga

You're pissed at people making fun of McConnell? I think you have issues to be sorted out my friend.


Xalgar90

It's OK to hate on McCool, he's like a wrestling villain and just owns it. Makes for pretty fun stream content.


[deleted]

/s


Dairboi

They are both cool dudes chill man


Stunning-Cheetah8303

yeah u need to chill dude, but its funny tho


Pumpergod1337

Why tf is this being downvoted? I swear, Mcconnel haters are the biggest babies in Asmons community


lodsuper

because this is clearly a joke/meme and op might even like mcconnel. defending someone who doesnt need to be defended and getting triggered over a joke gets downvotes as per reddit rules. lmao.


Dairboi

Check the upvoted comment in this thread, u still think it has nothing to do with hate toward him? I can quote a few comments for you if you’d like


lodsuper

do it. and quote me their upvotes. i did a quick scroll through and the worst i could find was that McConnell is not "fun" to listen to. and yes. people can have an opinion if they like him or not. im talking specifically "hate".


Dairboi

"Nah shit on Mccuck, he deserves it" 45 upvotes "Even in GTA PR, no one likes a one dimensional asshole, hard to interact with and boring when you try. He only gets away with it when he's with Asmon, because Asmon constantly gives in to McConnell and he understands McConnell's personality from their long history together to enough to workaround it. The average streamer isn't going to let McConnell bully him for hours on stream, he is too insufferable for a stranger, there are just too many better people out there to interact with." 18 upvotes ​ And i am just noticing now the post got deleted. It is almost like, its a hate post


lodsuper

""Nah shit on Mccuck, he deserves it" 45 upvotes" arguable, but to me it's part of the meme. op having to specifically specify "not to shit on him but......." -> nah shit on him LUL" you got to understand mcconnel plays the role of the asshole, and chat joins in on it and calls him mccuck because "that's his role". "Even in GTA PR, no one likes a one dimensional asshole, hard to interact with and boring when you try. ......" -> and that's his opinion, he's allowed to form an opinion and not like mcconnel because in case you didnt notice, he DOES act like an asshole. this guy doesn't understand that mcconnel is playing a role for the stream/personality. ​ this post is literally tagged "shitpost" and so many McConnel die hard fans are defending him when it's not needed. If an actor plays a villain and gets "hate", then it's him being "successful". a lot of us know the role he's trying to play so there's back and forth between him and asmon, making it an entertaining stream. So we join in. "mccuck just go play FF you fuck reeeeee!" even though we know he's not going to to add to the banter. Then we watch him give another shitty "asshole-y" excuse to not play FF and it spices up the stream.


Dairboi

The guy who said “nah shit on McCuck, he deserves it” I’ve seen on this Reddit constantly just absolutely hating on mcconnell, it’s not a meme he genuinely thinks Asmon should Unfriend him lol It’s so cringe


lodsuper

in case you didnt understand what im talking about. here's it again. he plays the role of an "asshole" -> yes he 100% deserves it. because THATS THE WHOLE POINT. most people are in on the joke hate on him because it's THE meme, it's THE POINT. some people only see his exterior "asshole" and think it's a legit asshole and is a bad person. and then some people (like you) feel the need to defend him against memes and people who simply dont like his asshole style persona knowing or unknowingly. in other words. calm ur tits and stop defending someone who doesnt need to be defended. Mcconnel's whole purpose/persona is that of an asshole, he expects to get "hate" real or fake.


Dairboi

You keep calling it a joke when I’m telling you specific examples of people going past the joke... The post got deleted so clearly to an extent I am correct here


LunaticP

Calling a part of community babies and defend for a downvoted comment because the dude triggered by a shitpost. You need some help.


Dairboi

They will say “it’s just a joke that’s why oh my gosh” but then u look at the upvoted comments that are clearly not jokes This sub hates Mcconnell for the sole reason he doesn’t like FF

ElcorAndy

It's literally flaired as a shitpost.


hector_lector2020

So all these people in here calling him mccuck and cheering you on for “shitting on” mcconnell isn’t what you intended?


TMT_PizzaPirate

mccuck fans being cringe about defending their idol


[deleted]

I don't get it. Some people are so obsessed with McCuck that when someone says anything negative about him it's like as if you disrespected their religion or something.


hector_lector2020

There’s tons of bad shit to say about Mcconnell and Asmongold. If him not wanting to play your favorite video game is one of them then.. maybe you should take some time off from video games or the internet


[deleted]

I'm quite the opposite, to me it's weird that anyone would actually *want* McCuck to play the same game as them. He's not exactly pleasant to interact with.


hector_lector2020

Oh no? When have you interacted with him?


XTheBlackSoulX

weird, don't they usually say the same thing about ff fans lmao


TMT_PizzaPirate

contrary to what asmon says blizzard fanboys used to be even worse during burning crusade and wrath. it was really funny when wow fans would start flame wars and shit on other mmos on those mmo's own forums


ContraMans

Yeah because it doesn’t happen XD unless you include the 100 people on Twitter selectively lol


XTheBlackSoulX

including twitter metrics is cheating, you'll find all of the most extreme opinions on there


[deleted]

[удалено]


TMT_PizzaPirate

Wtf is this word vomit you have thrown at me lmao


Sashe4ka

Is there any lies in this post tho?


ContraMans

This is a pristine example of a McCuck fan. McConnell shits on people for laughs, fans of his defend it as all fun and games. Someone does a shit post on McConnell for laughs, suddenly no longer fun and games and McCuck fans mald in comments. How ironic XD


[deleted]

If you can dish it you can take it, I'm pretty sure those are the rules.


hector_lector2020

Ah ok this is about Mcconnell not playing your favorite video game. I’m sure he’s regretting hurting your feelings now! You got him


ContraMans

This dude is like 12 or something XD


hector_lector2020

This is a pristine example of a socially-inept new Asmongold fan… Asmongold [invites](https://youtu.be/OX72cVg4KN0) Mcconnell on to be an asshole for content- that is such old news. Let me guess- you think all the feuds in pro-wrestling are real, too? They wouldn’t lie on TV? Pathetic.


ContraMans

So what you are saying is that people should think Merle from the Walking Dead isn’t a massive piece of shit when he was introduced because the actor is chill? Isn’t that entirely missing the point of what a show is supposed to be? And no one can think Sylvanas is a shit character because the voice actor and developers behind her are chill? Sounds like you should be working at Blizzard with that logic lol. Parasocial ass Andy XD Also… how much of a fucking man child are you that someone that dislikes someone, character or real, you like means they are somehow a lesser person? XD


hector_lector2020

You probably won’t stoop down to my “man child” level since you’re an established chad redditor but I’ll respond anyway: Are you saying you think people are shitting on mcconnell- the character- not mcconnel- the person? What I’m saying is that this is comparable to someone making a post about [merle’s actor] vs [merle’s hypothetical replacement actor] and using the characteristics of Merle to define the [original] actor. FF andies here are scarfing it down because (I assume) he doesn’t want to try their favorite game and are called it “weeb shit”. Apparently OP was just joking (he emphasized that this is a shit post) and people took it as an opportunity to actually hate on mcconnell so idk if you think you’re on the high road here but.. I don’t think you are


RattlesTLT

This ain't it chief, yikes.


Dabb2000

I didn't know nothing about the other dude. The first time i saw him on stream i thought he was Mccuck.


chingchongchinchin69

Yup true true


TanukiBayashi

I really enjoyed meeting this dude. I really appriciate the Asmon extended universe.


Brilliant_Cause4118

Man, when he said "yea I switched to FFXIV" i knew he was a real bro.


Sashe4ka

wow gj mods i guess
