He has cleaned his house and has pest control come by twice a year now. You are behind on the lore, let me help you get up to date.
He wears shoes indoors and doesn't vacuum much.
He recently gave himself a bloody nose from picking his nose on camera.
He still doesn't know how to use a normal kitchen oven.
He is balding.
He has 3 real teeth.
He is 6' and weights 135 pounds.
He recently lived with 3 dead rats in his attic for a few days before he went up there and found them. He threw the corpses in his backyard instead of the trash.
He has jerked off to completion while streaming, but did so out of frame and continued to converse. Nobody knows if he has done that more than the one confirmed time.
He still collects empty, or mostly empty, soda cups from various fast food places on his desk. He does eventually throw them away in purges.
He has had a yellow Gatorade on his desk for years, it is no longer yellow.
He showers maybe once a week and uses a knife to scrape the dead skin from his face.
He wears the same clothes for days and doesn't do wash.
His diet mostly consist of fast food, most of which is Chipotle, but Wendy's is a close second. Sometimes he wants a home cooked meal and will make a $2 steak with a microwaved potato or two, sometimes a Totinos triple pepperoni pizza with cheese and pepperoni added.
Before he cleaned his house up, two of his friends and fellow streamers came over and he cooked for them his infamous $2 steak and microwaved potatoes. Both of them had adverse reactions, one of which became ill for a few days.
His favorite fruit to eat is lemons, but would not buy them because he would rather eat other things.
So those are the qualities of someone who holds the opinion that dumb people belong in the mines instead of voting.
He sounds mentally ill
He is, by his own admission. I don't think he is, at least not in a way that manifests in his observed habits and living conditions.
He is fairly nihilistic and pragmatic to a degree that comes off as being mentally ill.
Like the $2 steaks, he makes millions a year and chooses to eat $2 steaks. That is what he likes and he can't justify spending more than that. He grew up on food stamps and dirt poor because his mom had crazy credit card debt that she just ignored until it "went away".
He doesn't vacuum because he is just going to be walking on the floor and get it dirty again.
He uses disposable plastic cutlery because it is one less thing to wash.
He lives in the same small home he has lived in for his entire life because it is paid off and he doesn't need to live in a mansion.
So he is pragmatic and nihilistic to such a degree that any normal person thinks he is batshit insane.
I don't watch him, and everything I know is from second hand accounts, but there is real trauma associated with poverty. As someone who grew up poor (sometimes, not all the time), with family that also grew up poor, it really affects your mentality. I'm not saying it's necessarily a distinct mental illness, and you can make the argument that everyone's life circumstances affect their mental state, but that seems like a level of trauma that is affecting his life and health. I'd say it's abnormal at least, if not actually diagnosable. There's a lack of love and respect for yourself that must be occurring to live like that. No one deserves to live like that and the fact he was possibly raised like that and thinks it's acceptable is truly devastating. I hope he gets help. This makes his statement seem like less of a "fuck these people" kind of thing and more of a "no one ever showed me love or empathy or cared for me so I have no concept of how to extend that to others." Legitimately extremely sad.
You are right on all points.
There was a compounding issue where his mother died, so he was depressed and nobody else had to deal with his situation than him, so he just wallowed in misery. For a while he was streaming 10+ hours every single day and that plus the depression and the psychological burden of people harassing him took its toll. He still has his dad, and I anticipate a severe regression once he dies and we may see the worst Asmond the internet can imagine.
He is in a better place now, but he admits he still has problems that he is working on slowly. I think the constant harassment he still deals with does affect him more than he lets on, but he has become accustomed to it because he understands his takes on things are inflammatory to a subset of the population that is very vocal and occupies the same online space he does.
Twice a year sound like to much for a regular person but also not enough for him.
Twice a year is in accordance with industry standards for best practices in most areas where roaches are.
If he has cleaned his house up as much as he has said, there are photos of a couple spots, and he hasn't seen any roaches in a while like he says, twice a year is fine.
