Lol, you are always going to affect or annoy real people. ALWAYS. Even Swifty, one of the nicest guys ever, has haters and he affects people everyday by playing arena or whatever he's doing.
Hell, Kripp annoys the hell out of me, and ruins lots of people's experience by being gifted items all day, and being able to get rich off garbage items, him and his friends, because people would trade anything to get on stream, not to mention his overall affect on the game in various ways, that negatively affect lots of players in PoE. They all affect someone in some fashion or another. To single out one is a bit stupid, when all these streamers affect people and things negatively.
I don't think Kripp has taken a gifted item in months in PoE, has he? Last time someone gave him one he gave away the price in fusings to his audience.

It's not an act if you make other people uncomfortable with it. If I go and rape somebody I can't justify it with a "it was an act LOL" shit. This example is a bit extreme but it's fucking truth.
The example is indeed extreme and it's NOT at all the truth. If a comedian makes you uncomfortable with his jokes, don't go to his shows.
Am i allowed to find the jokes of a comedian not funny? And when i don´t find them funny and someone laughs in my face and ask me "isn´t he funny LOL" am i allowed to state my opinion?

Somewhat, that devours everyone and everything:
A tree that rush. A bird that sings. It eat bones and smite the hardest stones.
Masticate every sword. Shatters every shrine. It defeat mighty kings and carry mountains on lightly wings.
What am i?

Can you demonstrate any evidence of this "scam" going on? Your wild guess-shots do not count.
I'm not a fan of Athene (well, his old WoW stuff was hilarious though), but he's doing something good, this isn't the first time.

If Athene came out and just said
"Hey, I'm going to stream and have a persona of a complete douche because I want to cause controversy and get rich quick"
I would have no problems with that. You idiots can give him all the money you want, that is your prerogative.
When he comes out and says "Oh this is all for charity it's all for the kids". That's when it becomes a problem for me.

Its going to come as a surprise to you, but people rarely do anything just for someone else's benefit. I had a ex-gf that volunteered 2x a week to the local soup kitchen, and while she was helping people, she did it primarily to make herself feel better.
Lots of people do these kinds of things and make money, like Athene, but they are still helping people in the end, which is far more than others can say. So what if he makes a living while helping raise money for a charity; he still rose money for that charity, which is far more than most people here will ever do in their entire lifetime. I doubt most people here will ever volunteer at a soup kitchen like my ex-gf did.

Might not volunteer for a soup kitchen but I sure did alot of volunteering for a child hospital .I don't know who think he makes money out of charity if it's directly to StC paypal . Either way , this really feels more like a mix of jealousy and hatred towards someone that never hurted them physically or psychologically.

I saw this thread title earlier when it had a single post and just knew it would explode into... exactly what's going on.
Oh the predictability of these forums...

Sums the Athene controversy and why he is a shit person perfectly.
None of that makes Athene even close to a shit person. I don't know, maybe you've never actually seen or met an actual "shit person." Regardless, this Destiny guy makes some pretty good points(with the exception of the incredibly moronic rape analogy that you also tried to make). Athene is certainly no saint and that video of his did make him look kinda preachy and self-important. I mean, messing around with people on LoL or whatever every once in a while, I don't see some big issue with that, but if Athene does that constantly, it's not good behavior.
