I think the real story here is someone was actually watching his stream to capture this.

I skipped around the vod from time to time and holy shit he's gone full mental.

[–]quinpon64337_x 93ポイント94ポイント  (0子コメント)

i'm pretty sure his stream has gone full money laundering fake donation route

[–]InternetTrollVirgin 54ポイント55ポイント  (4子コメント)

His stream has been awful since the merge and he came to twitch. Can't say if it was before or not. It's maybe 2% gameplay and usually some idiot in joke glasses that isn't Athene. Its also well known they were viewbotting up until that day a bunch of people got caught.

[–]nissepik 11ポイント12ポイント  (3子コメント)

care to explain what happened? i used to occasionally tune in for a few minutes if nobody else was on.

what why and how did it happen?

[–]InternetTrollVirgin 11ポイント12ポイント  (2子コメント)

Twitch took action on viewbots some day earlier this year, I don't remember when. Anyway it happened all at once and ton of channels that used to sit at 1000-1200 viewers 24/7 like Athene, Streamerhouse and the like suddenly dropped to 200-500 viewers at a time. Someone might come along and link the people. It was a bunch of channels. I didn't watch them all so I just don't remember. A bunch of the camwhore type girls got dinged too. Was pretty funny.

Oh it popped up on google pretty easily, was in July. https://www.reddit.com/r/Twitch/comments/4uu0cm/big_news_twitch_might_have_figured_out_how_to/ http://www.twinge.tv/emilyispro/streams/#/22521093216

yeah i know about the viewbots and stuff but i meant more like how the did he go from being a regular troll doing charitywork to leading a fucking cultist. where was that transition and everything?

emily for prison

[–]InternetTrollVirgin 4ポイント5ポイント  (0子コメント)

He's always been that full of himself. Not sure there was a transition he just used to actually play games. Now he just leads his cult. You probably saw this its another comment in this thread but:

He killed his youtube channel by uploading like 10 videos a day. But I managed to get a razer blackwidow out of it so that's pretty cool.

[–]Super_Svenny 19ポイント20ポイント  (2子コメント)

Actually it was more like 24 videos a day if I remember correctly. He actually thought doing one video every hour would help his channel but it instead did the exact opposite and was the start of his downfall.

He looks like he should go outside more than once a month.

[–]SuleyBlack 5ポイント6ポイント  (2子コメント)

His popularity was due to him being "For the kids". He used to promote that all his earnings went to charity. However his toxic personality and using "for the kids" as a shield to allow himself to be an asshole slowly killed his popularity.

Also I guess viewbotted to promote his new donation platform to go against the popular ones in place already.

[–]VI952 16ポイント17ポイント  (1子コメント)

Nah he was popular before all the for the kids stuff, before he streamed he made some legitimately good WoW videos for the time and was quite a well known memer / e-celeb

Actually not, his viewers have dropped from ~2k to 200-300 at peaks.

[–]AxcelMorris 5ポイント6ポイント  (3子コメント)

Same as with Swifty. Though he'll get popular as soon as his 24 / 7 streams return.

I guess it is not as exciting to watch the veterans anymore.

[–]dotPanic 15ポイント16ポイント  (1子コメント)

Swifty became irrelevant when his streams got 24/7. Imagine your average viewer getting onto twitch, seeing Swifty is on. You do that for a month and you stop thinking it's noteworthy or worth dropping in.

[–]AxcelMorris 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

No, you're actually wrong. 24 / 7 is when his channel grew the most. Cuz there were always people in his stream + streaming at the gaming house.

But that stopped, and now he's down by a lot.
But I think they still make more money than a normal job, so they'll probably keep doing it.

[–]OshiSeven 6ポイント7ポイント  (0子コメント)

As someone who has had a few girlfriends, I can honestly say girls don't brave white PJs if they're "on". His explanation was nonsense.

[–]badnamechoice 39ポイント40ポイント  (1子コメント)

[–]littledestinyy 75ポイント76ポイント  (0子コメント)

He found a way to get free labour by abusing peoples vulnerability and making them think that they are worthless and that he has the easy answers for their problems. With these people he makes shady deals with G2A under the umbrella of charity.

give him a break it took this long for him to get a girl to join his cult you cant expect him to live on reese's mediocre hand shandys for the rest of his life

Probably not. It's more of a cognitive bias. Mania has an emotional component.

[–]Dgc2002 23ポイント24ポイント  (0子コメント)

I mean... Athene has been several characters for years, hasn't he? First I remember "Schwff round' the corner" with his paladin in WoW. I tuned out for a long time but he transitioned into being the 'real' Athene(the person behind the character) who was obviously another character. He did a bunch of poker stuff(Was that legit? He was still playing a character but it seemed like he was legitimately successful.) Then he moved to 'for da kids' Athene and was trying really hard to succeed on Twitch. There was some shady shit with that too IIRC. Now is he the 'real real Athene' character?

Edit:
Oh yea I'm remember some things now. He's made an asshole of himself, at least to my understanding, in the following communities:

  • Poker
  • WoW
  • Diablo III
  • League of Legends
  • Hearthstone
  • TwitchTV in general
  • Scientific(If anyone even noticed his 'documentary' in that community)

[–]EnmaDaiO 13ポイント14ポイント  (1子コメント)

Ok before you guys get triggered by this, this is classic Athene. This is what made him famous on youtube. He made bold ass lunatic statements and claims and got people's blood boiling.

[–]7elix7elicis 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

I don't think this is the same thing; the idea he's pushing is similar to the new age vein of, "If we can say the right words and get people to think in the right manner, we can take humanity to the next level." It's a nice thought, but it usually just turns into intellectual masturbation amongst the community and "that's a cult!" from the outside.

I seriously hope this is just one big troll because this shit is going to end badly after the "new world" Athene is talking about does not happen. That girl in the video seems so brainwashed into the cult that when everything falls apart I see people commiting suicides.

My favorite line from this ,"All of these guys will get laid with logic pussy....There will be pussy for everyone here. Pussy for everyone. No because at a certain point we can't add more people but we can add girls cause theres gonna be room for girls cos they can sleep in 1 room when they are together, right?"

Basically, calls women not "people" and because they are girls they can share rooms.

WTF!

[–]ilovetoeatpoutine -1ポイント0ポイント  (2子コメント)

I have a hard time believing anyone when they boast about their intelligence while they spend their lives playing video games. It's like saying, "I'm very smart, but I rather not do anything intelligent". How about admit you're a narcissist instead?

I'm not saying dummies play video games, but I don't think people get any smarter playing them.

Sweet jesus is he actually the leader of a cult now ? Reading these comments and laughing at people suggesting it but WTF.

Listen to this and tell me if this isn't cult behaviour

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lb0dLkxCPvo

Step 1. Unconditionally rely upon Logic, not just rely upon it, but LOVE it.

Step 2. Find what emotionally drives you (Family, The experiences you enjoy in life, basically)

Step 3. Tell step 2. to fuck right off LOL and instead replace it with LOGIC. Not only tell it to fuck off, but he suggests associating a negative emotion with your past emotional drive. Yes, thats right. HATE YOUR FAMILY.

Step 4. Keep Trusting in Logic (read: don't stray from the cult, BOY!)

What the fuck athene. Its one thing to troll about something harmless, but you can't troll about cults. People actually take this shit seriously. This is seriously fucked up.

[–]badnamechoice 22ポイント23ポイント  (3子コメント)

I watched him for a bit and what he was saying was like blatant copy-paste;

"Have you clicked?" = Have you seen the light?

"Surrender to logic" = Surrender to Jesus

lmao, he's not even trying to hide it at this point

[–]Ziggarot 7ポイント8ポイント  (2子コメント)

I like how someone could quit smoking by "clicking" with no side effects.

[–]Lorivas 5ポイント6ポイント  (1子コメント)

That's not the worst part, he has said it could cure depression and schizophrenia instantly. And he was talking to a dude who had "clicked" and the guy was considering to stop taking his medication because of it. Athene did say he should go to the doctor for consultation before going off the meds, but still wtf.

[–][deleted] 8ポイント9ポイント  (5子コメント)

I haven't been a fan since he used to ruin WoW world firsts.

And yes, some people only do charity work because it makes them look good.

[–]Lorivas 5ポイント6ポイント  (4子コメント)

If you do good things to look good aren't you still good?

If you use the reputation and money you have gained from it to torture people or fund a terror organization you are a bad person.

But imagine someone spending their life building a charity organization so that they can get a million dollar sallary and when they retire they have a luxurious life with all the things a person could want. Like yeah, he/she "used" charity for personal gain, but at the same time save thousands of people from death and/or suffering, how can that be a bad thing?

Sorry for this rant, but I just hate that people so easily attack people who do good and still make personal gains from doing good things, because in their mind people should only do good things for the sake of their own good hearts and the best of other people.

If you have a candy company or tobbaco company and you make millions from it you are just a business person and who cares that people die and get sick because of the products you sell while you earn money of off it. But if you make medication or do any work to help people who are struggling while getting personal gains from it you are a evil. How can helping people while earning money for yourself be evil?

[–]Shaliber 5ポイント6ポイント  (1子コメント)

I think good deeds, and the person can be separated. If you are only doing something in order to further your own brand, you and your brand are still open to be criticized. While his charity is great, it does not excuse him being a piece of shit.

If you're a decent person who does charity to look good that's fine. If you're a scum bag who does charity you're still a scum bag. You're correct that there is not anything inherently wrong with doing charity to self-gain, but Athene is using it to push fucked up ideologies. Just my 2 cents.

[–]ogskie_ 5ポイント6ポイント  (0子コメント)

[–]IHateShovels 12ポイント13ポイント  (0子コメント)

If you're going to do a cult, make sure it's a badass wicked sick one. Like, what is this "logic/science" bullshit? It's boring, it's lame, nobody wants to sit and watch a 100 pound nerd with a receding hairline drone on about that. Now, you have some guy come before an altar in a blood-red robe and a goat skull helmet and talking about C'thulu or some other zany garbage? I'm interested, I'm paying attention, I'm looking at your video the full duration because I may be apart of history. That's how you do a cult. Do a real man's cult, not this sissy pussy "intellectualism" garbage. You have to commit to a badass idea. Marshall Applewhite was a senile asshole that convinced people they'd go to space or something idiotic. That's insane. That's wild. You have to make the cult sound like something awesome is going to happen. Curing anxiety/depression? BORING. You do that with medication or getting a blowjob from a college stripper. Summoning Revelations? Now there's a fucking idea. Peace.

Dean Leysen and Yan. If Athene is to be believed, the two of them left the ipower team (that's what they called themselves back when they tried to make a social network) because Athene was making too much money off poker and the two of them (Dean and Yan) felt that Athene was getting too much powerful or some shit.

Can't go into too much details because I've been following him only partly since the ipower days, but he started playing poker (and making a lot of money apparently), Dean and Yan (sp) left the team. Then athene had a few attempts to get a bigger following - played LoL, then hearthstone, now back to wow it seems. Now apparenrly he's started some logic cult from what I gather.
