Source: Asmongold Subreddit

As seen in the video, the user hovers their cursor over the thumbnail, showing (presumably) the original thumbnail for a second, where the woman has less cleavage visible.

“I thought maybe it was edited like this intentionally for some reason but her clothes change completely when you hover the preview and this entire thumb seems to be AI generated to begin with. The perspective is all kinds of fucked up if you look at the left wall corner compared to the door. If YouTube did this by itself, this is some of the most dystopian shit I’ve ever seen, lmao.”

This really concerned me (though not as much as grok’s latest feature) so i figured i should post it here to see if anyone has other examples of it happening, and raise awareness. Stay meaty.

      Lol i felt this was going to happen and almost added a line saying “I understand the controversy, It just came up because it’s AI stuff”

      The disgust people feel for asmongold is more visceral than their nebulous hatred of AI

      AI has some redeeming qualities. Asmongold has none.

          It changes the fact that I had to see Asmongold against my will, and seeing his face is worse than a 40 second advertisement.

              Yeah for the people that Asmongold attacks, it is potentially traumatic, Asmongold is a dangerously hateful person, that is his whole identity as a rightwing edgelord.

                If the sight of someone you don’t like traumatizes you, you should probably stay off the internet.

                • I’m happy for you that your life and conditions makes it so you don’t have to deal with these kinds of things. As a transfeminine person however, yeah, I am not happy seeing the face of someone who constantly spews hatred towards me for simply existing. It does affect me. It’s a constant reminder that this hatred against me, that discrimination and transphobia is everywhere and absolutely inescapable, which is something I’m already plainly aware of and don’t need reminders of.

                  Obviously, seeing Asmongold doesn’t bothers you, and good for you I guess. However, seeing that someone is posting here, using this awful person’s subreddit as a source for things, meaning they apparently browse the thing, yeah, it makes me pause. It makes me see how fucking banal and normalized this guy, who represents and Incarnate an ideology that is an existential threat to my safety and rights, has become. And it makes me feel uneasy and less safe in these internet spaces.

                    I do deal with them. Every day. People are spewing hatred at me in these very comments. Life is not sunshine and rainbows. Sometimes you’re going to see people you don’t like. And you’re gonna have to learn to deal with it like the rest of us.

                  Asmongold looks perfectly fine, it isn’t the sight of them that traumatizes people it is the actions, words and ideology he traffics in with such a large public megaphone that makes him traumatizing to people.

      Because if you gave me a scientific report about the benefits of the sun, but it was written by a Nazi scientist… Of course we’re going to dogpile it.

      Find the same damn report, validated with more reputable sources.

      I personally down voted this post based entirely on the terms used. If the title had been about using sexualization to sell/entice viewership then that would have been fine. But what the title actually amounts to is synonymous with porn baiting which is not the same thing. I’m really tired of the term “goonerbait”. It’s such a sensationalized word.

      The fact that the video is from Asmongold like other creators aren’t talking about and reporting on this is just an extra ding against it.

      The fact is, I can understand why people who are likely boycotting this creator are upset at being conned into clicking on his content.

        Boycotting does not mean crying every time they’re mentioned, especially when they’re mentioned in the vein of some new horrific news.

        There’s no content of his to click on here. It looks like the content is hosted on catbox (and Reddit).
