For Twitch streamer Asmongold, one thing is clear: nerds and video games have conquered the world. What was embarrassing when he was at school is now allowed and cool. In the past, 15 or 20 years ago, video games were only for losers, but today it’s different. He sees this using the example of actor Robert Pattinson (“Batman”), who admits in an interview that he cried during Final Fantasy VII.
This is the situation:
Pattinson explains the love triangle in Final Fantasy VII
This is what Pattinson said: The interviewer admits to Pattinson that he also cried while playing a video game. Zoë Kravitz, daughter of the coolest rock star in the world, reacts irritably: What’s going on?
Pattinson explains: Yes, he cried during Final Fantasy VII. There would be a love triangle between the player and the characters Aerith and Tifa.
Aerith is a nice person, has superpowers and can heal everyone.
Final Fantasy Asmongold (34) and Zoë Kravitz (35) are slightly younger than Pattinson.
His film partner reacts scratchily as to whether this is the ideal idea of a woman being responsible for healing everyone:
“We poor women always have to heal everyone.”
But Pattinson is undeterred: Tifa is this sexy woman in a miniskirt. You simply can’t decide.
Zoë Kravitz looks at him more and more strangely, her look seems to say: “Are you serious?”
A woman who heals the world – and one in a short skirt – Are you serious?
But Pattinson continues: “And then Aerith dies.” That’s the way every man discovered what love is.
It’s clear: the scene broke his young heart at the time.
Kravitz slightly scornfully: So the choice is between a girl who heals everyone and the one in the short skirt? Oh my God. That’s the problem with the world.
His opinion used to be stupid – now it’s the stupid one
How does Asmongold see this? Not surprisingly, Twitch’s flagship nerd is completely on Pattinson’s side. He sees the clip and the reactions to it as evidence of how the world is changing.
The video shows that nerds have won the world.
When Pattinson, Zoë Kravitz and himself were still in school, Zoë Kravitz was the cool one and Pattinson’s opinion was stupid. Video games were only for losers. But now she’s the stupid one: “We won!” he says. Everyone in the comments agrees: Pattinson is sensible, Kravitz is not.
Times have changed.
A new era has also dawned for Asmongold: Asmongold, king of the nerds, has a new girlfriend and his fans are eyeing her critically
