In a whirlwind of online drama, Twitch personalities Zack “Asmongold” and Denims have found themselves embroiled in controversy following a viral video that sparked outrage across social media platforms. The incident, which unfolded on April 30, 2024, saw Denims seemingly placing a $30,000 bounty on Asmongold, accompanied by a bizarre request to alter a virtual character’s appearance.
The video clip, which quickly circulated on platforms like Reddit and X, featured Denims making the eyebrow-raising statement: “Listen, I’ll up the number. Okay? $30k to anyone who’d make this dips**t disappear and make Eve’s breasts bigger. Okay? You have to do both. All right? Because then it’s a win-win for me. I get more breast and I don’t have to see that moron on my timeline anymore. So, if you think about it…”

Asmongold wasted no time in responding to the situation during one of his live streams, hinting at the possibility of involving law enforcement. Denims later clarified her remarks in Asmongold’s Twitch chat, asserting that her comments were not directed at him but rather at another user, @Grummz (Mark Kern). She explained that the statement was intended as a joke, albeit a poorly received one, and expressed regret for any offense caused.
Asmongold, however, remained skeptical of Denims’ explanation, suggesting that her words could still be construed as a threat. While acknowledging that the bounty may not have been intended for him specifically, he pointed out that his presence in the video clip would inevitably lead many to believe otherwise.
The exchange between the two streamers highlighted the complexities of online communication and the potential consequences of careless remarks in a public forum. Despite Denims’ attempts to clarify her intentions, the fallout from the incident serves as a cautionary tale about the power of words in the digital age.
As the dust settles on this latest episode of Twitch drama, both Asmongold and Denims may find themselves reevaluating the impact of their online personas and the importance of exercising restraint in their interactions with fellow content creators. Only time will tell whether this controversy will have lasting repercussions or fade into the ever-shifting landscape of internet culture.
