It's amazing that people still don't realize it's all just an act. He's been trolling for how long now, 6 years or so?
I think most people realize this. Still........explain to me, please, the difference between acting like a fucking douche bag and actually being a fucking douche bag?
Some people need to ridicule others over insignificant matters to feel they stand for something.
Well as far as I know, Athene doesn't have a 9-17 job and aren't studying at university/college or anything. So he has faaaaaaaaaar more time on his hands to do whatever he want: he decided to play games and make it his career, how else is he gonna bring in da doe?
So with the norm of the people whom have a 9-17 job or are studying, most of them doesn't have the time/money to do charities or the stuff he do. Yes obviously you can still quickly donate over the internet, but they can't go to Africa (which Athene did if I remember correctly) or come up with elaborate schemes to get people to give you money/gear etc.
Don't get me wrong, I don't like him. Yes his success came from acting like a troll and yes being a douche to raise money for charity isn't bad at all, but his whole pretending-to-be-something-he's-not (unless he's like this in real life, then I'll hate him even more) is what I dislike about him.
And I have to give it to him, his gf has a nice rack.

Acting like a douche bag lasts as long as the video. Being a douche bag is for life ^^
Actually, the guy has a certain charisma about him and I can understand perfectly well why people like him. Equally so, I can understand why so many people do not like him.
I actually don't have a problem with him, per say. What bothers me is why some people DO like him. This whole troll/asshole worship thing seems to strike some young people the wrong way. I often wonder if his "fans" truly understand that his persona is not that of a fiery, taunting asshole when he switches off.
I just don't want to see this troll idolatry go too far. Young people should realize that if you treat people that way IRL when you grow up, you better be tough enough to eat bullets and shit lead, cuz if not, you're getting you're ass whopped.
I have watched some athene videos over the years. I'm not some subscribed super fan of his. but as far as I can tell, none of his videos display him as some douchebag or asshole. Please point me to some video where he is acting like a douchebag, because all I see is a guy acting silly all the time, just trying to be funny and having a good time with friends. Where are the videos where he is 'treating' people 'that way'?
I'm just trying to understand the hatred. What makes this guy a douchebag as opposed to... attacking someone's character because you don't enjoy his humor?
I'm seeing people confusing 'humor that they don't like' with 'douchebag'. People are free to not like his videos and free to say his 'humor' and his 'act' sucks..etc, but hating someone takes effort, putting someone down, needs justification, and I just don't see it. Maybe some people are just hateful for the sake of being hateful. so if by any chance, one of you can post a video, and explain the 'assholeness douchebaggery' of the video, would be nice. and if possible, try not to confuse 'opinion' with 'fact' while explaining it.
Using charity as a ploy to bolster your popularity is incredibly fucking selfish. Or rather, a symbiotic relationship with personal gain as a driving force.
Only the wise will see this.
getting people to donate to some charity he cares for is a noble thing. He knows he has some slight celebrity status, why not take advantage of it, there is nothing wrong with this when it is for the sake of doing something good. We might as well call every celebrity that has ever tried to get people to donate to anything are selfish assholes. you seem to like to confuse your hateful assumptions as if it were fact.
Considering the above Athene 25 sec kill is actualy slow, really slow. However his trolling the masses of the clueless youth. Works like a charm for him.
mind showing me a very, very quick kill, or should i just say you talk shit a lot?

General Rule; (and this isn't directed at you personally)
If you don't think Athene is a cock sucking douche bag, you might be a cock sucking douche bag.
I don't know what "Athene's" real name is.....let's call him Rick. Rick is probably an OK guy that obviously makes a living doing something he loves. Kudos to Rick, he's a swell guy.
But "Athene"? He's a cock sucking douche bag. He like...he actually goes out of his way, FAR out of his way, to act like a cock sucking douche bag yet you aren't seeing this?
getting people to donate to some charity he cares for is a noble thing.
...because he makes money off of the promotion or.....?
you seem to like to confuse your hateful assumptions as if it were fact.
I'm only addressing the folks here that will defend him promoting the idea that gamers should act like total fucking dick-holes because he used some charity stunt to procure viewers for his stream.
If I give $100 to the Red Cross, can I punch you in the balls and still be an OK guy? Or am I still not understanding how people that act like douche bags suddenly become awesome dudes if they do something charitable?
It's called a 'publicity stunt'. Often disguised as selfless, charitable acts, "celebrities" pull this kind of rouse all the time.
It's a win-win situation either way, so who gives a shit. Oh no, he raised 1 million dollars for charity just so he could get some good publicity, what an asshole!
You aren't following my line here....
I'm just making a point that just because he did this charity-stream event, it does not mean that he (his meme/persona~ Athene) isn't a dis-likable asshole. He's just an asshole that once raised money for charity. Still an asshole. A charitable asshole, but an asshole nonetheless.
BTW; Your siggy is friggin hilarious. Seriously. That's the funniest sig I've seen in a long long time. Thank you for that laugh.
Am I missing something, 'cause I've never heard of him before reading news on Diablofans when he was racing for world first Diablo inferno kill. His videos on Youtube are being viewed by less people than many yapping fourteen years old girls talking about their every day life. Seriously, this guy is overrated and overinflated, this whole call to Diablofans is an attention grab and sound of desperation.
ruksak, you may have a point, but you're running against a wall..
one can only wonder why people watch athenes streams, his vids etc..i don't have to, because the title of the threads already tell me whats inside..shit boring shit made by shitheads.
@redrim: charity money? yeah sure..you sound like a politician..
I am glad to report that I have never sat at my PC and watched other people sit at their PC and play games that I could be playing while I sit at my PC.
But I just read your post about sitting at a PC watching others sit at their PC while I'm sitting at my PC. I think there's an xibit meme somewhere out there that'l accurately describe this.

mind showing me a very, very quick kill, or should i just say you talk shit a lot?
Basic math my young friend.
1 players = 100% hp and for each player joining the hp of azmodan only increase by 75%. instead of 100%. So instead of having 4 times as much hp, how much does he have?
Then you add in the buffs and synergy from 4 classes.. And VOLA there is your answer why his kill time isnt legitimate.
Its not against the forum rules to use your brain on your own.
This means than that he not only having buffs and synergy of 4 players. His also fightning an Azmodan with 25% less hit points compared to a solo kill.
Comprende? or want me to draw you a picture? Not that its going to happen thou.

i didnt asked you to do math, neither implie i cant do em, i asked you to show me a very very quick kill ....something much better then he did in other terms since you claimed his kill was very very slow, id expect you to back up your talking with proof of any very very quick kill , since you rated it very very slow

There has been multible new records posted on the frontpage of diablofans the past month. Browse the news and there you have your answer.
So, you're angry at his fictional character that he acts. Because that fictional character is a douchebag?
You can't argue intentions, becuase those don't matter. What matters is actions. Just 'pretending' to be a dirt bag by hitting a girl doesn't take away from the fact that the girl was hit. Just 'pretending' to be a douchenozzle doesn't take away from the fact that he needs to wash his hair.
Some people need to ridicule others over insignificant matters to feel they stand for something.
So with the norm of the people whom have a 9-17 job or are studying, most of them doesn't have the time/money to do charities or the stuff he do. Yes obviously you can still quickly donate over the internet, but they can't go to Africa (which Athene did if I remember correctly) or come up with elaborate schemes to get people to give you money/gear etc.
Don't get me wrong, I don't like him. Yes his success came from acting like a troll and yes being a douche to raise money for charity isn't bad at all, but his whole pretending-to-be-something-he's-not (unless he's like this in real life, then I'll hate him even more) is what I dislike about him.
