#Asmongold
Athene did everything before everybody else. Man was even the first person to get canceled.
For good reason
He created a crypto and refused to pay out people at random, including people who worked for him for years... Also, if you leave the cult, no work references given out of pure spite. Wow such victim!
@@Hunter_Bidens_Crackpipe_ That's just another lie. Wheter intentionally or by not knowing shit about what happened.
There were very few people who lost money with the cryptocurrency. These people have made very specific trades that Athene didn't advice. He looked into even refunding that money but has gotten too much people trying to scam refund money that they decided not to.
He didn't decide to not pay out people randomly. The only one from the compound who didn't get any "pay out" literally robbed them after leaving so that's a strange argument.
@@benediktbraun9308 sounds like your in the cult ngl
@@OiiRobbi3x Nice ad hominem argument right there. I don't live with them, I just followed this whole drama from the beginning and feel like I'm one of the few people who have actually witnessed it. Almost all the hate ist just copy paste from some "ExPoSEd" video on youtube. No one cares about evidence when you can also have drama and a "bad guy".
@@OiiRobbi3x comments like ur is why we cant get the truth out
This really felt like a time capsule to a different time honestly. I remember coming home from school and waiting for total biscuit to publish his radio show or swifty doing something fun. So different now.
Just seeing chat spam "sivhd is such an og" made me feel part of history from watching him back then lol truly a time machine
@@Xirogify The fuck happened to sivhd... Feels like one day i was seeing a lot of his LoL videos, and one day he vanished
@@crysosisback7115 He's still streaming. He was streaming a lot of classic wow actually. Nothing really happened afaik, just everyone stopped caring. Being a content creator is spooky
rip totalbiscuit. that one hit hard
it's different because life changes, tbh. not because the outside world is that different.
Asmongold reacting to himself "TRUE. TRUE!"
lmao that killed me
@@jonathanbenoza8136 scenario*
Asmongold knows big brain energy when he sees it. Especially when he sees himself offering big brain opinions.
I like how chat is making fun of the actual way Einstein is pronounced.
Did you expected anything different?
Chat are a bunch of morons lol
NA in a nutshell
It's more of an accent thing. Most people are used to the English way of pronouncing it, while the video says it in the way Germans say it.
@@WelshSwordsman but then they shouldnt make fun of people who pronounce it correctly.
Athene: “You don’t have to pay, like you don’t have to send me gold in the mail.”
Asmongold: “Yeah that’s the difference with me and Athene right there..”
😂🤣😂😂
Yea you just have to buy Athene's fake crypto currency and his mobile game... or join his cult.
Athene knew this works as reverse psychology. Planting the seed of sending him money in their minds.
@@semperk1482 His crypto is real and integrated into the game, and his mobile game is free... he doesn't have a cult he has a group workers in a building making and updating the game.
@@MrColdroom "Real and integrated into the game" It's a mobile game currency with no valuation outside of the game, not a crypto. You can atleast liquidate Crypto into fiat currency, whereas his scam mobile game currency is essentially worth nothing. He has a logic cult as well, and multiple accusations of sexual harassment, this is public knowledge.
Is it just me, or does the internet age faster than milk left on a radiator?
Athene feels as antiquated to me now as like the transition from VHS to DVD.
Yeah I’ll have some video pop up in my recommended from like 6 months ago and it will feel completely outdated. I’ll send my friend a brand new meme on discord and he’ll be like “dude that joke is old I saw it on twitter 3 weeks ago” it’s insane
Also time perception speeds up the older you get. I was about 17 attending a family gathering and I said that it felt so surreal how fast the past year had gone by from 16-17. My family members in their 50s laughed at me and said “oh MagnuM it only goes faster from now”
Also had an older acquaintance in his 50s tell me that when you’re at that age, 5 years feels like 5 months
That's because we are young, I remember I was like 11. Your younger years feel longer, vsouce has a good video on the perseption of time
I agree with what other people in this thread say. Which is why young people have this "secure the bag" attitude to their lives/careers. One day you blow up out of the blue, like the "m to the b" girl or the "OK boomer" girl, and you have a very limited about of time to convert it into money whichever way you can, and if you have no discernable talent, you'll join the 80-90% of ASMR girls who ended up opening Onlyfans accounts. Podcasting is relatively new and has given some people's careers the long tail (Kassem G, FPSR Russia etc.).
@@MagnuM2980 1 year of your life at 1 year old is 100% of your life, at 5 years old its 20% of your life and at 20 1 year of your life is only 5% of your life. Time definitely speeds up the older you get.
I've only recently started watching Asmongold but only here on UA-cam, the more I watch the more it seems he's a genuine person than anything negative social media has said about him. Keep up the good content Asmongold!
Same. He seems really down to earth and realistic. Relatable and real.
@@mitchelltriggs7223 and funny too, but he knows when and when to not make jokes which shows alot of maturity that alot of content creators lack
what has social media said about him? i'm not subscribed to asmon because i'm not into gaming but i've seen his vids a bunch before and he's always seemed like a cool down-to-earth guy with genuine empathy for others.
@@env0x basically in his earlier wow days people would clip things he says out of context
@@env0x then they'd talk about how he's horrible but they'd then make fun of him as a way of payback?
The whole video was a 39-minute ad for a garbage mobile game hahaha. I honestly, cannot believe how perfect that was. I haven't laughed that hard in a long time.
Bro the swifty athene days.. omg that hit different right there.
we memBer bro
bro im 24 now and i think it was like 8-10 years ago... time s fly...
Swifty is a creep YEP
@God No.
The ol “SWFFF” around the cawnerrrr”
Asmon is a bit naive to think that a reddit ama does anything for their credibility, they litteraly had the ceo of save the children come on stream and confirm that he gets no cut of the donations and people still threw it around afterwards.
Its sad how people destroyed him just with hate and spreading Missinformation. To some extent thats even illegal. Defamation. But what can you do its the Internet.
He tried to play the Troll and at some point nobody realised it anymore.
Asmon didn't even realize this, even after watching the video. He even suggested they bring in the CEO, which they did, as a way to disprove it. I guess they didn't underline that fact hard enough in their video.
I think it's hard to manage so many people in their house and they made some managerial mistakes with that, and that's why some people left and got hurt. But I don't for one secons believe Athene to be a scammer and the evidence supports this point of view.
Also fuck Destiny, through and through asshole.
@@xNFR It's not that nobody realised it anymore, it's that nobody cares about somebody trolling for years...
@@brammechiej that's not true. The hitpiece by PeopleMakeGames which is just there to make up a drama that didn't exist got close to a million views. People care for Athene but only to push their own opinion about him even further. No one cares about real evidence. They want drama and a "bad guy" they can hate.
@@tarapapi Oh MY GoD this is literally common practice and in asmon's wotlk video he talks about the world first doing that same thing.
my favorite thing about this is how strongly you stand by your morals and also by what you say so many years ago!!!
“Nowadays, no one gets 200.000 viewers!”
Little did he know, and never could he have known, he would have surpassed that amount of viewers playing FFXIV on stream.
I remember the good old "Mowscow 5 Alex Ich" League of Legends Days, when Athene battled Alex Ich on Ryze. Was always fun to watch.
remember when he did the helikopter with his chair to the mortal kombat them lmfao
I remember being 12 and my friend introducing me to Athene BESTPALADININTHEWOLRD and his main man Furious who never played with a shirt on. Those videos were some of the funniest shit I’d ever seen at that time
BESTPALADEEEEEN, THEY CAN NERF PALADEEEN, BUT THEY CAN NOT NERF - ATHENEEEEE. FOR DEM KIDZ

Great great times
ONE STEP AT TIME 🎶
Fshhhh round the cornerrrr
Peak warcraft when Swifty stayed round Athene's mums house and his brother gave him them chocolates🤣 shame the community is dead nowadays
That 2013 flashback with Swifty! Holy paladin!
I still remember trying to explain to my parents that a video gamer raised 10 million dollars. Golden era.
Same haha my parents didn't believe it and they were probably right
@@quickmax4648 they weren't. There's plenty of proof from save the children themselves. Do you think the television channels in the USA don't check the facts before they tell the story? Man you can bring as much proof as you want, some suckers will still say "I don't believe you because I feel like this Athene guy is bad!" No one cares about facts and the truth. It's all about the drama
Lmao, FOR DEM KIDZ
@@benediktbraun9308 A tv show that doesnt check facts? in the US of A? No never!
@@Nicaveli You aren't even trying to give any evidence to why your parents are "probably right". You just pick a single argument (I gave multiple btw) and take it as a strawman to make fun of it.
The Athene/Swifty days was basically my childhood. The Athene/Swifty days are my classic WoW. I miss those days
19:55 I will never forget this, i didnt beleive him when he said "HES GONNA ANSWER EVERYONE"
So back then in my 15 year old wisdom i asked him a simple question about something stupid at the time, prolly motivation, and if it wasnt a question he wanted to answer he could just shout out my (at that time) girlfriend
3 months later, i actually got a video from him. he did both.
I will never forget that. Its the one time i met my heroes and was not disappointed.
EDIT:
INfact, i just found it unlisted, on my old youtube channel.
Link it
Link or false
Find a new hero.
I found this video 3 months after it was uploaded and oh my god it was so helpful, you teach a lot by just reacting and you probably dont realize the free advice u give your community in vids but it helps and it is therem
He does know he helps. It's why he corrects viewers dumb comments
Maybe they should have called the video "the fall of athene" lmao not the death
I legit thought the guy just died. Havent heard anything about the guy since the early WoW days. Man those days were the best.
It feels like it was made by Athene to promote Athene
@@SCRAM-AZ5 it was made by athene to promote athene.
death = clickbait
Man , the good old days of highschool all we talked about was Athene and PWNAGE guys "booom head shot" "i can dance all day"

You never know, I try my best, probably so do you and I get that can probably be said for Athene.
For a warrior, Asmongold sure has some pretty high intellect.
Fighters typically have a fair bit of intellect, you have the barbarians which are 0heads though

48:45 So how does a philanthropist who gets invited to talk at the un get banned at twitch and youtube streamer got banned without any specific instance of clear wrongdoing -> He created another useless cryptocurrency and milked his follower and fans for that crap that was only possible due to his mentally challenged loyal fans XD... He must be delusional af.
"Some random guy making his own cryptocurrency and telling people they are gonna make money back off it" describes literally every cryptocurrency.

@@mcihay246 it’s just Athene’s motto.
I'm almost 35.
When I was like 16 in highschool I was watching Athene videos before Twitch or even UA-cam honestly. And it was honestly the funniest thing I'd ever seen. For a while I really did think he was the greatest Paladin in the world.
The joke was that classic WoW Paladin wasn't capable of anything besides bubblehearthing in Warsong Gulch. Best Paladin in the world is a such a massive Troll statement. Even during TBC they were still pretty piss weak.
he was the best in the world in 2v2 3v3 and 5v5 brackets he actually was the best paladin in the world..
Wow, so you were watching him 4 years before he started making content. Impressive.
@@alex27826 probably he's his neighbour and he filmed him with a 0.5MP Cam xD
I remember when he used to solo scarlet monestsry
Him reacting to himself “yup” “so true” i fucking died lmaooo
Fuggin Swifty and Athene in one shot. The memories.
Speaking of memories, WHERE ARE ALL ATHENE'S OLD VIDEOS NOW? That's the shit that pisses me off right there. I'm a big believer in archiving tons of old content like that, but Athene just straight up deleted it. >_>
Asmon saying "Thats true" after Asmon talks lol 2:15
asmon true
Chat when the video was about Athene´s Fundraising: SCAM SCAM CRINGE
Chat when Asmongold talked about people assuming things based on nothing: TRUE TRUE
his chat is kinda stupid that way
one could think that chat is not a single entity, curious
@@okito Yeah but the truth is that this video clearly shows how people on Twitch have sheep mentality, since a fuck ton of people said the exact same shit.
"Same shirt? ...No it wasn't!" 49:47 😂😂😂 the defense is priceless lmao
That's a bold strategy Cotton, let's see if it pays off for him
nice reference man. this made me LOL 2 hard
"They should just sit down with the Vice President of Save the Children and have him adress it/They should do a post and ask for any proof there is." They did all of that, multiple times. Asmon said it best : when you've made up your mind about a story, no amount of facts make you change your mind.
yea he did that, save the children even has a page about him saying everything he has done, where he went to and how much he raised for them (more than $25 mil)
foreal
Did they have a PR department at his "non profit" or whatever he was running?
Some type of people that would tell athene "hey, maybe don't do this stupid thing online"
Yeah and also Asmon saying that he should come out with hard evidence to disprove claims of stealing from charity, the cult etc. misses the whole point of the video. Asmon even gave a good example when talking about people thinking that Izzy was just using him for clout, whatever Asmon says or however he is trying to disprove the theory makes no difference if people have already made up their minds.
They will only accept and view the evidence in a way that it supports their their position. It's like if a person who people view as "crazy" tries to disprove he isn't crazy. Anything that person says or does will just reinforce the idea that he is crazy in the eyes of the people who view him crazy.
Censorship and bans have caused more grief than any "toxicity" out there
The stuff with his mom was some of the funniest crap you'd ever watch on the internet.
BROCOLI! Man, I have to agree. And his brother is so funny.
Around the corner
Some of this is Asmongold reacting to Asmongold and whenever Asmongold says something intellectual Asmongold goes "True".
I remember the days when Athene was just speed leveling and pvp memes...
About all he was good for. Peaked with some wholesome charity stuff/TTTT then all downhill with Theory of Everything/BTC scams/Cult behavior.
@@justsomeguywithagoatee8337 “cult behavior” is putting it very lightly
Did you watch ? He was never just wow. He was an activist way before he even touched wow.
@@justsomeguywithagoatee8337 You're braindead. And so is everyone upvoting your idiotic comment. He did more good than you will in your entire lifetime , multiplied by a million. But it seems that with the people being as extremely dumb as they are nowadays (you being the prime example), doing anything more complex than playing games or reacting to content, is too much for the average viewer.
"cult behavior" - You know what the biggest irony is (if you actually know what the word irony means...) ? That YOU are the ones acting like a cult. The people accusing Athene of things he never did and that you have absolutely no evidence of, are acting as a cult. That's the definition of a cult, believing in something that you imagined to be true and you have no evidence for. I guess for lowlifes like the average twitch viewer, it's actually impossible to imagine that people get together in real life and do things in groups, because some projects are so big they can't be done by a single person. You do realize that doesn't make something a cult, right?

Classic Twitch, they had an agreement to handle all the money given to Athene on their site, and give it to charity. But ban him over a scamaz rumor.
yet twitch thots and hot tubs are allowed regardless of all the hate it got lmao
Say what you want about old UA-cam,
It had a lot of character,
UA-cam today would have shutdown things like this in a heartbeat.
Twitch moreso. Part of Twitch's new policies for streamers is they can hire private firms to keep surveillance on you if you are a streamer and if they find anything even remotely offensive connected to you they can ban you for violating TOS. UA-cam hasn't gone that far yet, but you never know. If you see how much the government controls the internet in China for example, eventually that will be the same in the U.S., old internet freedom is dead
Chat may not have believed Asmon as he was saying it, but those truly were "the days" of WoW. WoW was at absolute peak popularity, and youtube was only in its infancy. That meant popular personalities like Athene were very few and far between, which is why most WoW players knew of him
The Cata Swifty/Athene days were WILD. The golden era of Wow PVP

54:55 The best advice anyone will ever give you
Hate him or love him, I believe Athene actually is a genius
You cant do what he did without any precursour and not be. He is literally the giant who's shoulder all of these gaming influencers stand on.
Genius is subjectively defined. My type of genius would be kind and caring person who forsakes their own self-serving interests for the good of those around them, but hey, each to their own.
@@sampreece3900morality doesn’t necessarily coorelate with intelligence or take away someones status as a genius imo (idk enough about athene aside his theory of everything) but it certainly would be nice if said genius in question had humanity’s best interest at heart
Unsuspecting people clicking on this are going to get clickbaited hard. I don't follow as close to community related stuff as I used to and I straight up thought Athene died LMAO
to be fair... it's in quotations... "the death of athene". the quotations suggest it isn't a literal death.
@@4thbrooker no it doesnt
My first thought was that Athene faked his own death or something.
I wouldn't be surprised, as he used to do all kinds of absolutely desperate things for attention. Dunno what he's up to these days, as i haven't thought of him in like a decade.

I thik Asmon is one of those folks where people actually do care about him more than his content. He's just a genuine human.
I love how they just slyly takes asmongolds takes and makes it look like they're pointed towards athene somehow.
which is why it was good that Zack mentioned, that the take they are using was not talking about him specifically. Cause only watching the original video might make that impression

I really like how asmon is always so down to earth, especially on these controversial topics.
And his down-to-earthness was used in the video to make it sound like he was directly defending Athene.
I really disliked his "Trojan horse" take. That was heelsvsbabyface and thequartering levels of reactionary. Literally every artist, author etc. adds his opinions into his work. Tolkien was very much against uncontrolled industrialization, which he showed with the shire. Like who cares if a developer adds a trans or gay flag in the game? It's just a nice extra.
@@catqueensina Wait, what? I agree that every single art work is inherently political. But the proliferation of gay in American art stems from the American love for gay. Everyone loves gay in computer games, that's why it's there. Everyone in America, at least.
- Adûnâi
@@catqueensina the "this practice should be accepted because everyone does it" line of logic is bad on so many levels.
Next time, come up with better counter argument than an argumentum ad populum. Maybe try to make a distinction between artistic political propaganda/marketing and an work of art with a political opinion, and realise the necessity and futility of doing so.
You consider a LGBT flag just a "nice extra", but would you consider a nazi/communist/confederacy/MGTOW/military etc... flag just a "nice extra"? What if the flag is associated with an sympathetic in-game organization?

Same. I haven't seen much of Athene for a few years then suddenly this Dr K. interview showed up. Didn't know what to expect, but goddamn was Athene frustrating to listen to. He didn't came out as a trustworthy person.
So Athene isn’t actually dead? Just metaphors?

THEY CAN NERF PALADEEEEN; BUT THEY CAN NOT NERF... ATHENEEEEEEE. FOR DEM KIDZ.
What Athene fails to understand is that good deeds won't simply wash away the bad ones. He believes that the cause justifies the means, which is probably the source of controversy. Just because he might ultimately have good intentions, it still isn't good enough of excuse to have immunity to criticism. His secretive, cult alike, ways of operating are only making it worse.
thing is, after all I heard about Asmongold I never watched his videos or streams. I was dumb enough to believe, without forming my own opinion, but about a year ago or so I gave it a chance, and little did I know that he would become one of my favorite content creators. I'm sorry for being judgmental at a start, but I am happy I ignored my thoughts and gave him a chance.
Lesson, never listen to any rumors about anyone, without making up your own opinion. You never know unless you give them a try!
What negative things do people say about Asmon? I'm not very in tune, so I've never heard it.
I like how Destiny is so comfortable having an extremely negative opinion while admitting he has no evidence...
@@AmazingGamingsh When he was talking about Athene skimming charity money.
@@AmazingGamingsh I honestly couldn't tell you, but in this specific clip it isn't mentioned and he admits himself that he has no real basis for his conclusion. It's not a great way to be taken seriously if you just operate off of your own feelings and biases. My only knowledge of him is the "Destiny definitely lost this debate" memes so I would hate to assign him motive on that one, but without motive it comes across pretty poorly.
Athene had gamer/Tiktok cult houses before anyone else.
everytime I see that pfp I remember that Twat Max

People don't understand how easy making money on poker back then was.
If you literally had spent 1-2 hours reading up on the most basic pokerskills, you were instantly a winning player.
That's why the golden age of poker was around the year 2000 mark.
People had completely 0 clue, they just " enjoyed gambling " and thought it was cool.
99,9% had no real intention of making it into an actual "job" or to make money in the long run.
People feel weird about Athene because it's obvious he's driven purely by the need to feel he's an important person. Sometimes that drives him to do great things, but nothing guarantees that.
Waited all the way till the end for the mega add after a 30 minute flatter video made by himself ahhahaa
I think top comment needs to be" watch the first 10 minutes for some nostalgia then GTFO, run as far as you can".
This video is basically Athene doing the wrong thing for the right reasons.
It's crazy how much power Tina gave Athene thinking about it now. Asmon hits on this at 23:30, but having Tina there just legitimized Athene is being a cool guy that people wanted to be like lmao.
Me an my mates still play the titanic theme tune down discord when we put an opposing team down 😂😂
His Reaction was great he discussed a lot of topics and brought up a lot of good points! Would be funny seeing him actually trying the game.
No. Athene deserves no praise nor attention at all for all the shit he does
No, that wouldn't be funny seeing him play Athene's ad shit, what the fuck
yeah, the game is actually not bad at all. it's a hilarious gacha game with supreme cancer mechanics.. but it is so much fun. Crypto integration is Pog
Making a game like this is no joke! Too bad it took so long! Good game!
rofl all these shill accounts trying to push the shitty game
Super true when Asmon was talking about the backlash from not playing to your persona anymore. Idubbz was a UA-cam juggernaut when he was making content cop videos but once he started doing his new stuff people turned on him.
That's just kids who don't understand that people can't do the same thing forever without going insane. The new Idubzz documentaries are way more well put and insightful. Same thing with Filthy Frank. People don't realize that these guys don't want to be internet edgy guys forever.
ye its the onlyfans thing people hate him for.
44:51 "...Let's say I wanted to be a fitness channel..."
Now I want an "AsmonGold's Gym" tee-shirt with a logo of a silhouetted, super-swole warrior working out with a weight-stressed barbell. :D
"There's no way you can win with these people, because they want you to lose." dang
When I was like 14 Athene was the GM of my guild in Ultima Online, he made us sooo much money via PVP. He was always very down to earth and great at running the guild, people actually paid to transfer servers as they couldn't compete with our guild it was that effective. Later on played wow with him, but lost contact before he became famous via his videos. Some of the new stuff he has done does look very concerning/odd, but he was always very normal when out of character leading raids etc. When he quit UO he sold his ingame currency for like €17,000 and gave it all to his mum as he felt bad for gaming so much (game was quite dead by this point, if he sold up a year earlier he'd of made so much more). Honestly ran the guild like a business. Hard to tell if the new stuff is in character, or if he really has gone off the rails. I just knew he was extremely clever, great at getting the most out of people and had a lot of time for people.
When they were about to reveal the app they made, I swear to god I expected to see Raid Shadow Legends 😂
These guys showed me that I didn't have to be a pussy and could just go into a bg and just shit on people... if I tried. Will never forget running into one of their AV premades and killing 20 people in one bladestorm with my bullshit macro. God those were good days. Listening to TB and Jessie Cox the entire time. God nostalgia is the drug of choice. I miss those times.
"Is America Ready for an outbreak?!?!" "NO WERE NOT" I died

I don't trust people that says that the end justifies the means with their acts
Sometimes it does.
"Once people make up their mind about something, it doesn't matter what's true anymore, it only matters what they believe."....Ain't that the truth.
People that accuse Athene of scamming/scraping seem to forget that he can literally print money through online poker, and he lives a very ''Asmon-esque'' lifestyle, no fancy cars, no big house, no drip. That is how he was able to give away all of his earnings from streaming. Now, I havent watched Athene in years so I dont know if he really lost his marbles over time, but I dont see him scamming people out of money.
