Yeah. He seems to use his fame for good causes alot. What is it that he does that makes him a douche? O_o
Being a douche doesnt mean you are a bad person lol. People can have "douchey" attitudes which imo he does but that doesn't mean in any shape or form he is a bad person. I am sure hes probably a really good person and who earnestly does good charity work

Why would anyone have symphathy with a person who does that? Honest question. How would it ever be possible to trust him with anything if one should ignore everything he says or does?
Athene is funny sometimes, and I certainly don't think 90% of the community hates him like you say. Completely biased OP made me instantly disagree with you despite not actually caring about Athene. His not a douche, his achieved a lot and he doesn't abuse his fame. I have complete respect for Athene.
A douchebag and is a scam? He has raised over a million for charity and has now moved on to make more for charity using Diablo 3. He does a LOT of good with his popularity. Yah he trolls but he does it in a friendly way. Get over yourself OP. When was the last time you raised yourself 1 mill?
Also he is likely to help with publicity or win the GSL since he is the greatest gamer ever
Athene is an internet personality, who jokes and has some fucking fun. I personally find him funny and so do a lot of other people. I'm so sick of these "Isn't Athene just a total asshole?" threads. The mother fucker is a stand up guy, when was the last time you donated 1 million dollars to charity.
I swear it's like you people just found out about the internet.

No.
Athene lies.
Athene and CatZ are friends, he would certainly be allowed to build some hype and let people think it's a troll, before ROOT announcing anything. That said, i think it will just be as honorary member.

I said that a lot of people think he's just that. Most people don't even bother to do any research on what he has done it the past, i personally think he's a great guy who helps a lot with a lot of things.
Then why did you put that in the OP? Out of only three sentences you decided to include an overgeneralization that you don't even believe. Kind of gives the wrong impression of Athene for anyone who doesn't know who he is.
