Asmongold slams Pokimane over Amber Heard apology, calls it “one of the most toxic things that women do”

Twitch star Asmongold has once again stirred the pot—this time by calling out Pokimane ’s public apology regarding her past comments on Amber Heard. After the popular streamer apologized for her past jokes about Amber Heard during the infamous trial, Asmongold didn’t hold back, and his comments have sparked just as much conversation as the apology itself.
Pokimane’s Apology: Too Late, Too Safe?It started when Pokimane tweeted “believe victims” on July 2, 2025—a sentiment that aligns with many of her past stances. One user called her out, reminding her of the time she mocked Amber Heard during the Depp-Heard trial livestreams.

i completely understand, i regret how i re-streamed the trial because any jokes are at the expense of how victims can be perceived :( i apologize for that + took down those videos a long time ago

Rather than deflect, Pokimane responded with an apology:

• “I completely understand, I regret how I re-streamed the trial because any jokes are at the expense of how victims can be perceived :( I apologize for that + took down those videos a long time ago.”
  

While the apology appeared genuine on the surface, not everyone was convinced. And Asmongold? He didn’t just disagree—he dismantled it.
Asmongold’s Take: “Patronizing” and “Pathetic”Shortly after Pokimane’s tweet, Asmongold addressed the apology during his stream, and minced no words.

He called her comment “stupid” and “patronizing,” labeling it part of a broader issue where women, in his view, “defend bad actions of other women just because they’re women.”

🚨Asmongold slams Pokimane’s apology for mocking Amber Heard as stupid and patronizing. She laughed because it was popular and Amber Heard was a “crazy f*cking b*tch” who did insane shit. Her defending women just for being women is pathetic, toxic, and divides s*xes. It’s just… pic.twitter.com/v5WiUD4BwP

“This is one of the most toxic things that women do,” he said. “It’s pathetic and embarrassing. It makes men more distrustful of women because they’re not using logic—they’re just defaulting to gender loyalty.”

According to Asmongold, Pokimane’s apology wasn’t about accountability—it was about optics. And in trying to appear “woke” or politically correct, she ended up being inauthentic and divisive.
Authenticity vs. Image: The Bigger Problem?What Asmongold really seems to be calling out isn’t just Pokimane, but a pattern. Influencers issuing ultra-safe, last-minute apologies that feel more like image management than real reflection. “She always tries to have the most sanitized, politically correct opinion possible,” he added. “This is just another example of that.”

He questioned why someone would apologize so long after the fact, unless the goal was to appease criticism, not actually take ownership.

Internet Reacts: Split Down the MiddleAs expected, the internet is divided. Some praised Asmongold for saying what many were thinking, calling out what they see as performative allyship. Others slammed him for generalizing and dragging gender into a personal apology.

Pokimane hasn’t responded to his comments—at least not yet.

But one thing’s clear: This wasn’t just about an apology. It was about the uncomfortable grey areas of influencer accountability, the pressure to be constantly “correct,” and the cost of choosing image over honesty.
