Introduces the orange peel test and its history as a way to gauge loyalty and willingness to perform small tasks in relationships.

Asmongold dissect's a shocking trend: moms turning relationship “tests” into emotional manipulation of their kids, revealing how narcissistic behavior can ripple from adult games into parenting.

Summary

Asmongold TV dives into a viral clip where a mother stages a childish version of the infamous orange peel test, but with her four-year-old son. The discussion expands to contrast old relationship tests—like the mustard test and the orange peel challenge—with this new, disturbingly parental twist. The host argues that these tests reveal deeper patterns of control and emotional manipulation, showing how the mother weaponizes guilt to shape her child’s behavior. He points out how the father’s reluctant compliance and the child’s distress illustrate a toxic dynamic that could have long-term consequences for the boy’s sense of self-worth. Throughout, Asmongold connects the behavior to broader issues of narcissism, self-esteem, and intra-gender social dynamics, suggesting such patterns foster future resentment toward women or relationships in general. He critiques the public normalization of filming private family moments for social media likes, warning about the validation loop that rewards cruelty or coercion. The creator’s reaction hinges on the harm caused to a child, stressing that these “tests” amount to emotional abuse and social manipulation. Finally, he reflects on the societal appetite for this type content, arguing that it exposes a culture where performative hurt and power plays are monetized and celebrated.

Key Takeaways

  • Emotional manipulation in parenting can mirror adult relationship tests, turning mundane tasks into coercive power plays.
  • The orange peel scene is used to illustrate how women can instrumentalize a child to gauge loyalty, provoking distress rather than genuine cooperation.
  • Publicly posting private family dynamics for validation can normalize abusive behavior and teach kids to equate love with sacrifice.
  • Narcissistic or low-self-esteem-driven patterns make someone continually seek reassurance at the expense of others’ wellbeing.
  • The father’s quiet complicity in the test highlights how societal norms can enable coercive parenting unless challenged.
  • The video underscores a broader critique: platforms reward sensational, harmful behavior with likes and views, encouraging more extreme tests.
  • Asmongold connects these dynamics to potential long-term impacts on boys growing up in such environments.

and an insane woman tries to run an orange peel test on her son. Do you guys remember orange peel theory? We've talked a lot about various relationship tests over the ages. There was the mustard test where you squirt mustard on the table and then ask your partner to clean it up. And this test was essentially like a two-part test. One was to like gauge their loyalty, gauge their Oh god. Oh god. Oh no. Oh Oh my. Oh no. Servantthood. This is something. Yeah. This is whether or not they will simply take on the task when told. And then there was the second part which was do they clean it up? well enough, right? Do they use the right cleaning agent? Do they do it in a expected amount of time? Right? Very annoying, ridiculous things that would never pass the gender swap test. If men started testing us, we would lose our freaking minds and probably start an Only Fans out of spite. Yeah. Get so angry at the patriarchy that you started Only Fans. Sorry, I'm still going to be laughing about that one for a while. But there was a specific test. It was really big maybe two or three years ago called the orange peel test. Okay, where you ask your man to peel an orange for you. And honestly, this was like probably one of the least annoying tests. It was essentially just so basically you have these women on social media that just invent new ways to cause problems in their relationship in their relationships like they're not getting enough attention and so they have to like invent these problem. Okay. Right. Okay. Got it. To see if your partner loves you enough to help you out with this like kind of mundane task that really anybody should be able to do. Like I remember being expected to peel my own orange in preschool, but just to see if they're willing to help you out with something small. The idea being that if they'll help you out with this, they'll probably help you out with something larger. And then you like know you got a good one or something, I guess. And like I said, these are tests typically given by an adult woman to an adult man who she is trying to gauge an idea of whether or not they will be a suitable long-term romantic partner, That's the idea, right? Yes. Simple. Well, what would y'all do if I told you that mothers are now giving relationship tests to their children? Some of you have probably become so jaded by the world that you're like, "Yep, that sounds about right." Others are like, "What? Let's get into it." Oh my god. I really need an orange. Okay. Thank you. What are you doing? You got to peel it. I have nails. What do you Okay, so for audio only, gang. Jesus Christ, this is so sad. She goes, "Hey, can you get me an orange?" This little boy is probably, I would guesstimate around 4 years old. Uhhuh. So, he's like, "Absolutely." He brings her an orange and she goes, "Well, you have to peel it. I have nails." This is another excuse that um the original orange peel theorists would do is when you have like the long well done nails. So, this is really what they do. Like, this is the kind of female PvP that nobody realizes. I think this is the kind of stuff that women invent for each other. So, they never actually do this themselves, but they come up with these tests that they give other women so other women can sabotage their relationships. And it's like like it's like intraexual competition that's like so ingrained in them that they've totally like uh they've turned in they've turned this into some kind of elaborate big reason for why it makes they've intellectualized it to where it's actually a test. But I think it's yeah it's just straight up introsexual toxic women that are sabotaging each other. It's the same as how women will suggest that for a pretty girl to cut her hair shorter. They say that that's a reason they can't peel an orange. Personally, I would argue that that's actually more of a reason you should be able to peel an orange. You basically have built-in freaking bottle openers and those My uh stylist personally always has the crazy long nails and she is able to cut my hair, style my hair, wash my hair, no problems at all. She even does nails with her nails. So, I don't understand why you can't peel an orange. Here she goes. She's uh going to get little baby Jay at the tender age of four or so years old. Peel the orange for him. And uh he immediately starts outsourcing. He's he goes, "Okay, I'll get dad to And you can see the mom was really pretty." So, the guy probably puts up with this. He just puts up with it. it. So now the orange theory orange peel theory has been orange peel theoried. He's she's testing him%. If I had a girlfriend ask me to do it, I'd do it for her, too. It's not a big deal, but like I mean, we're going to just see how long this takes. So, he's going over to help dad go uh get some help from daddy. Why don't you kill it? I don't I can't What? I I can't pull it. Interesting. So, in text overlay, the mom who started this test said, "I knew he'd ask Shawn, so I told him not to help him." So, this whole thing also has the element of a self-fulfilling prophecy wherein she has already established guard rails for this test to kind of off her to ensure the proper outcome. Dude, what the does this? You try. That's right. I don't need an orange, I guess. What a So, she Dude, she's literally Oh my Oh, dude. This kid This kid's probably going to be a viewer by the time he's nine. The boy is experiencing some trouble. This could be my future youngest, but I can't I can't do it. So, she Mhm. passive aggressively begins the guilt trip. Yeah, she walks away from the child and goes, "That's okay. I guess I don't need an orange." So, she is already weaponizing her emotions against the child to secure a desired outcome. Who does this to their children? No. She is going to be one of those mothers where when her son gets married and is like, "Hey, just so you know, we'll have to split the holidays because I got to go and see my wife." Yeah. She's the kind of person that's going to try to make you. So, there are a lot of people that measure love by loss. And what I mean by that is that they constantly try to make you make decisions that reaffirm that your relationship with them is of utmost priority. So they constantly try to insert themselves into prior engagements that you have or they try to make you make a decision between doing something with them or doing something with somebody else. And the reason why is because they're like ment it's like a mental disorder, right? They have really low self-esteem. So they constantly need to be reassured at every single second. Family, it's okay. No, it's fine. So toxic. No. No. Have you all had a girl do that? You just don't want to spend time with your mother. You don't want to spend time with me. It's fine. If you like them better, if you love your other side better, it's it's already going to be like that. I basic so effed up to do to your child. I don't like being this dramatic, but I genuinely find this type of behavior to be a form of child abuse. It's emotional abuse for sure. Already pissed, dude. Yeah, she's manipulating her child over Who does this to a little kid? and then recording it. So, you have time to like do this whole flowy thing with your hair, but you can't peel an orange. Wait, wait, wait, wait. I'll give you one. Well, you said you don't know how. Oh my god. She's trying to gaslight her own kid. What is that? No, I can't. I have my nails. I got cheese for you. Jesus. This poor guy. This poor guy. So then the husband here because she's like like I said she's guilting him and so the kid is reacting the way a child does and he's like no no no like I can do it I can do it and she's like no you have to do it right this is so sad you have to do it right that's a piece of also he probably the thing is that I'm going to give him a pass because who do you think invented this problem? She did. She invented this problem. He probably works, probably has a job, and so this is like the one of the only days that he has to where like he can relax. And if he has to go along with some little piece of to just have a peaceful day, he's going to do it. Jay, don't. Come on, Jay. That's how it is. Do it right. So then the dad is like seeing the kid's desperation and upset that he's disappointing his mother because he's not able to do this task that she needs from him. So he comes in and is like, "Do you want a little bit of help, buddy?" You know, a natural paternal reaction to a child who is now experiencing desperation and emotional distress. And the text overlay reads, "Sean forgot he's not supposed to be helping." With like a face pal emoji like, "Sorry, that poor guy. He's not playing along with your mother gothal manipulation routine for a cliff. What the is wrong with her, dude? Holy Wait, actually, no. I don't feel like helping you. So, dad starts him off. I just don't know how to, dude. Dad doesn't know how to orange. A You look so good, Jay. You could put him in the trash if you want. Well, how about when I give you one? Throw in the trash right away so you don't get your nails dirty. He's just trying to be nice. Throw the trash. Yeah. Talking about spent so long trying to peel it and he's like spending so much time and she's like laughing at him. She's putting the text like he's spending so long trying to peel it. It's like kind of mashed up at this point. I mean, he's just like, "Oh my god, a little kid." But he's like he just wants to make his mom happy. He just doesn't want to be a disappointment and failure to his mom. When his skin when when you when you done and his skin is blocking it just tell me and I'll peel. I do think that like these narcissistic like pathological mothers are one of the big reasons why a lot of guys turn into misogynists. And I think that this extends to like school teachers as well. I think overwhelmingly a lot of guys that they have they deal with something like this and then after that it makes them hate women. It's the same as like how you know like I told you like you know girls get groomed on the internet and then after that they think that like every single guy on the internet that's like ever interacting with any female is like some kind of weirdo. I think this is the same thing. A thank you Jay. Mhm. So, you're not even gonna thank him? All of that? And you're not even gonna say, "Thank you so much for doing that, J. What's wrong with these people?" I swear. And like the caption says, "He's the best." He's the best. He's the best what? The best doormat. Yes. The best at being trained for your unconditional demands. Y the best at just doing whatever you say. The best slave. Yes. And mind you, like it's exactly what it is. Video is like it's exactly what it is with the with the likes here. Like we're at almost a million likes, 600,000 likes, which is bad news. It's bad news for Jay because what this means is she's now gotten like a taste for it, right? Like her addiction to and it's also it's validated for everybody else that sees it. These kinds of sketches. And it's like, think about it, right? Where are all of the Where are all the BPD women? Well, they're on Tik Tok. They're on social media because nobody wants to be around them in real life. So, they're on they're on the internet. And so, like that that there it is. parody is now like only just beginning. And and you guys know in general how I feeling each other about people blasting their kids face and name and using their kids content for social media, but you especially know how I feel about using your child and their face and their name. It's emotional guilt tripping. Weird like social media pranks and tests and trials and Like, can you just let him live? Can you like be nice? Actually, no. Like, I don't know. Do you guys think that I'm being sensitive? Cuz I'm telling you, if I may be wrong here, but this one pissed me off. Like, I already get irritated by Well, I I I I'll talk about it. Like, I'll link you guys the video. I won't watch the full thing, but like overall like I mean, this is this is insane. I didn't even know this. I I didn't even know this happened. This is insane and embarrassing. It is the kids cook. The woman's unfathomably based. Yeah, there's the video. Give it a like. I mean, the way that I feel about a lot of this is that anybody who tries to constantly make you make choices between them and something else or somebody else. This is a person with insanely low self-esteem that wants to emotionally manipulate you and take advantage of you and they need constantly reaffirmment. And that reaffirmment has to come at the expense of your own self. Uh like your own well-being. And I've noticed this a lot is that a lot of people they measure how much you care about them with how much you're willing to sacrifice for them. So what that means in practice is that what they do is they make you make sacrifices in order to reaffirm that they're special. That's what they do. And whether this is narcissism, low self-esteem, just general mental illness, some other form of sociopathy, I have no idea what it is, but it's something that's ridiculous. Like ancient creepy gods, women love that Well, the reason why women love it is because it's a power play. It's a power. Like most of the It's the same reason why women like romance novels where like they get picked out by like some super rich guy. Whenever you look at it from the angle of like how does this reaffirm your ego and then you reverse engineer back from that, I think it becomes very evident and very obvious how these people get a form of a uh you know some form of a of validation. It's external emotional regulation, clinical narcissism, borderline. Yeah. And I think that if you look at a lot of the girls that are doing this on Twitter, they're mostly and Tik Tok, they're they're mostly pretty girls. And it's the same thing I said about crystals and astrology. The reason why they're mostly pretty girls that are doing this is it's because guys will put up with it. Guys will put up with these weird, annoying, obnoxious behaviors from a pretty girl because they can just ignore them. And that's the reason
