The 31-year-old was visibly annoyed at the sight of the 'toxic' nature of Final Fantasy 14's player base after exposing hateful messages of a viewer.

Asmongold agitated after receiving unwelcoming messages from chat

In a stream uploaded on Saturday, the Austin, Texas, native decided to hop on to playing Final Fantasy 14 or, as it is shortly called, FF14. It is an online multiplayer role-playing game for PCs.

Although primarily a World of Warcraft streamer, he often plays various other titles on his streams to change up the content from time to time. Among the variety of games he has played before is FF14. While streaming the game, the content creator shared a series of hateful comments from a viewer who was banned:

"There was an individual that was in chat. It was one of these toxic Final Fantasy fans, and these are the people that I was telling you guys about. Now you think the community of Final Fantasy is good. It turns out that they're not. They're full of a bunch of people like this."

The OTK co-founder exposed the chat of a viewer named 'joinster.' He read out:

"'You're so bad, you won't survive cause you're so bad.' This is what the Final Fantasy community has, or so I would've thought until I scrolled up."

After scrolling up to older comments from the user, he realized that they had been intentionally toxic to deter the streamer. He added:

"This is an unironic, false flagging, wow Andy, who's pretending to be a Final Fantasy player to make me not want to play the game."
