I was about to "wtf, why is Athene posting random video responses in /r/philosophy", but then I noticed the OP was to his video. I guess that deserves its own wtf, but still slightly more intelligible. E.g., related: Athene is still a thing?

Apparently the video was recorded while he was streaming WoW on twitch (I hated writing that prepositional phrase). He's got 74 thousand followers on Twitter.

I wasn't aware of this Athene person until now. I miss being me half an hour ago.

Yes, back when people played WoW, he was known for posting videos of (i) strange rants about how good he is at it, and (ii) some girl he knows making a pouting face while the camera looks down her shirt.

I watched a few minutes of the twitch :(

Well, that is every bit as subtle as I expected.

Here, have a Lindy Booth.

I honestly thought I was the only person who knew who Lindy Booth was.

But I suppose I can imagine that you watched Relic Hunter.

Nope, haven't seen it! I did however recently see Kickass 2: https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/564x/77/0a/6d/770a6dd339d795f59b42c15fdba82130.jpg

Haha, I'd forgotten about that. Relic Hunter was a pulp action show in the Lara Croft vein, back when such things were the fashion. Lindy Booth's current show The Librarians is actually a real throwback to that kind of show: harmless and ridiculous.

Is this in the sense of that explains it??

Well, kinda. But it's also just racist.

OP cut out the best part of the video response:

See, I was thinking about it, we're going to do something better, I'm not going to respond to the guy. Because I was thinking to make a video, right, where I really wreck every single argument, very solidly. But then I was thinking, there's a better way to respond to this. And that is to make a video about how philosophy is intellectual masturbation. And really wreck philosophy really hard. Say it's outdated. And really with, you know, strong fucking arguments, say it's just intellectual masturbation; that's it, nothing more, nothing else. I think that's much better. I'm just going, you know, balls deep.

Fuck all these fucking hard words. And I will really pick the identity of a philosopher, and really say what type of person it is: using hard words, having that posh of intelligence... And really wreck that hard, wreck it hard. I think that's much better.

But the thing is, every time when I get somewhere, I get people pissed. In Hearthstone, in Wow, in League, now in philosophy. But I don't give a shit...

What I want to first say is these videos are very simplified, just so you guys know. I don't put so much effort and thought into it. They're just very easy for people to digest. It doesn't mean to be a paper. So things are simplified in the video. First of all, I want to clearly state that[...] So it's important not to take this video, as, every line is completely thought through, and has all the information within...

The problem, when I see these, and I see these comments, is that people feel almost threatened. Their beliefs are being threatened, and they automatically have a very defensive mindset. They get triggered. And the problem with that is their... when that happens, you're just a lot less able to think, to reason. You get triggered and you just start spamming words, without really listening or trying to understand[...] So when I see that, immediately I think that these guys are triggered. They didn't try to understand the video, they just got triggered, because they feel like, he can't make that statement about purpose.

You know, just another day when you're minding your own business making a simple video without much effort or thought, piss off some folks online, and then have to expose western philosophy as fraudulent in a way best described as "balls deep."

I confess, I didn't make it further into the video than the bit that went something like: "absolute truth doesn't exist because there's all these conflicting arguments and you can't prove you're right." Honestly, I don't even cell.

Omg I'm going to use the phrase 'go balls deep into theory' in the intro to all my papers from now on

Shit seems to just randomly stop working for poor wombot. First responding to messages started producing a 403 on reddit, and now archive.org URLs aren't resolving. I suspect he's getting blocked. It's racism, is what it is.

Or, it might be that he's using a shitty old C# library for all of the above.
