Professional Victim Fatigue

In a wide-ranging episode, Asmongold and his co-host dissect what they call "professional victim fatigue"—the growing public exhaustion with online figures who weaponize identity and disability labels to shield themselves from criticism while demanding compliance from others. The conversation centers on a specific creator, Courtney, a 28-year-old self-described "asexual autistic person with low support needs" who produces masking propaganda and claims that not masking in public constitutes "eugenics." But the episode uses Courtney as a case study for a much broader phenomenon.

The Victimhood Playbook

The hosts argue that the core strategy of "professional victims" is to collect diagnoses and marginalized identities—autism, ADHD, non-binary status, disability—and use them as shields against any criticism. "The reason that they're playing the victim oppression game is to shield themselves from any criticism of their behavior," Asmongold says. "Anytime that you attack them, you're attacking their disability or their identity. And then you're a bad person."
