On May 22, 2023, Twitch star Zack "Asmongold" addressed a recent controversy after he reacted to a YouTube video titled, Women Ruined the Internet. The Austin, Texas-based personality claimed that netizens on Twitter seemingly believed his satirical take and remarked:

"The problem is, whenever you make content that is satirical, there will be certain people who don't take it that way. They will take it at face value."

Asmongold was watching Ian "iDubbbz's" apology video, during which he discussed creators who produce rather edgy content. He then referred to a recent video uploaded on his official clips channel titled, Asmon gets canceled again and said:

"This is the problem with creating racial humor. Is that... if you, like, for example... so, I made this video. Oh, god! So, where the f**k is this? Let me see if I can find it. (The streamer starts looking for the aforementioned video on YouTube) So, I made this video right here. Okay? And, it was, 'Asmon gets canceled again.' And it was, like, how women ruined the internet."

According to the co-founder of One True King (OTK), Alanah Pearce, contacted him and said she found the content amusing. However, Zack claimed that some online community members ended up believing his satirical take:

"So, like, the girl tweeted at me about it and she thought it was funny. Right? This is Alanah Pearce. And, she tweeted to me about it. It was funny. But you had people in the comments in that tweet who thought that it was legitimately true!"

Asmongold added:

"Because the problem is that, there are people out there that think that women (are) ruining the internet. They actually think this!"
