Media Matters Reports Asmongold Said He Would 'Shoot' Teen Takeover Participants and Put 'Shock Collars' on Them

The quotes were specific. According to a Media Matters report published on July 6, Asmongold, commenting on the "teen takeover" trend, in which groups of teenagers have congregated in or occupied public spaces in incidents that have circulated online, said "I'd shoot them" and that he would "put neck collars and shock collars on every single one of them." The outlet attributed the remarks to Asmongold directly, without specifying the original platform or upload date of the source clip.

Media Matters had covered Asmongold once before in the same stretch, on June 16, in a piece about a clip concerning the Newsom DOJ investigation. The July 6 report is their second item on him in 21 days. The teen takeover piece does not indicate whether the clip was drawn from a Twitch archive, a YouTube upload, or another source. Asmongold is currently banned from Twitch and has been producing content on other platforms during the ban period.

For the record, the remarks were reported by an outlet that covers media and political commentary, not a gaming publication, which tracks with how coverage of Asmongold has distributed itself since the ban. Sportskeeda, NDTV Sports, the Times of India, and now Media Matters twice have all picked up clips in the past three weeks. None of those outlets primarily cover streaming.

On July 7, AD HOC NEWS published a fourth piece in their ongoing Asmongold series, this one titled "Asmongold and the live pull of his Twitch streams." Their prior three installments, from June 21, June 23, and June 26, examined metrics, live footprint, and business structure in turn. The fourth appears to focus on viewership draw from his Twitch catalog. The series remains analytical in format, with no interview component apparent in the record.

Also surfacing in monitoring this week was a YouTube video titled "British leftists are melting down.." dated May 9, predating the current coverage cycle by approximately two months. No connection to July developments has been established.

As of July 7, Asmongold has not addressed the teen takeover quotes in any public post or stream. What happens next: whether Media Matters pursues additional clips remains unannounced. Twitch has not commented on whether the new coverage affects Asmongold's ban status. The AD HOC NEWS series has no stated endpoint and has now produced a piece on four consecutive reporting intervals.
