Kaise on Asmongold China and the nose clip
Kaise breaks down the weird trajectory of Asmongold's reputation in China, noting that his popularity took a hit once he stopped playing Wukong. She explains the sentiment there isn't actually hostile but sits somewhere in neutral territory, with recognition likely limited to major cities where people remember his distinct look from his World of Warcraft days. The situation got complicated because he made some bad statements that displeased CCP, though Kaise claims he managed to restore favor by getting back into Wukong. Then there is the personal side of things where her sister stumbled upon an old clip of him picking his nose from ten years ago while they were laughing their heads off. Her reaction to finding out she was dating the man in that specific video was pure shock, leading to her sister asking if she was serious about the nose picker.
