Trashfire Apollo Legend suicide

[5ever a crab]

I find it odd that the speedrunning community wants to be "trans friendly" because 'troons have a lot of emotional baggage behind the scenes' or some shit- but they don't care when Apollo has scoliosis which causes him stress too. why anyone would want to go near this autismo community of sped runners (at least the mainstream side of it) is beyond me. shit, I'd off myself too.

People saying the guys he listed aren't to blame for this don't understand how autistic Apollo was and why alienating him from speed running made him an hero.

People with chronic illnesses are usually isolated, they're not much fun to be around and can't go partying with you every weekend. For many of them the internet becomes their entire world, because they can't physically be in the real one. Modern pain management sucks and one of the biggest helps for those people is distractions, video games being the ultimate distraction were likely a big part of Apollo's health management. The guys cynical as all fuck because he's sick and that makes him bitter some times, he doesn't have the social filter normies do so he speaks his mind. He tries to fight against bullshit like Transitions done quick and lies from Billy "Tiny dong" Mitchell. In the end Billy abuses the legal system's pay to play setup and forces Apollo to back down and surrender in some fashion. Any one, sick or not can see the bullshit is off the charts when a guy can cheat and then blackmail you into submission when you reveal it. But hey, lifes shit right? What's a crippled fuck going to do except bitch to his friends and carry on with life as best he can. Then due to troon drama and internet slap fights his friends turn on him and abandon him after saying they supported him. Every where he used to feel safe is overrun by youtube kiddies and redditors shit talking him, so his "safe space" from his disability is completely fucked. He has no where to turn any more and no more friends to lean on when things are rough for him. He sees another hospital visit, more pain and even less places to escape to so he an heroes rather than put up with it.

I have no horse in this race, I'm not autistic enough to care about speed running drama. It's frustrating to see people white knighting the cancel culture bitches and excusing the immense amount of drama and witch hunting online. Apollo may have been the world's biggest faggot for all I know. I only saw his videos on youtube and watched him out Billy as a cheat. This isn't a standard, suicide where he offed himself because teenagers from Tumblr kept saying mean things to him. It's clear from the troon responses and the endless Reddit threads that Apollo was driven out of the space he used as part of his pain management. The people he named were the instigators who either egged him on and then stabbed him in the back for troon approval or got called out on sketchy dealings behind the scenes and sent a hate mob after him for it. These people constantly go on about mental health awareness and other social media virtue signalling and they're all full of shit. Apollo's mental health would have been in the gutter without any of the speed running drama chasing him around. His health makes that a home run if there ever was one. Instead of the people claiming they care trying to help him, they consider their little video game cliques more important than a guy suffering serious mental stress he cannot avoid because of his health condition. They're all a bunch of whack jobs using speed running to hide from their own hairy cocks, so when someone attacked it for rightful wrongs, they attacked him viciously and relentlessly to defend it. Karma will swing back around soon enough when more and more speed troons end up getting the same cancel culture treatment and an hero the same way Apollo did. They're all broken people, with no one who cares about them and use speed running as a replacement family, but they're a hundred times more loyal to speed running than their real family because their real family rejected or abused them and they're trying to avoid repeat of that. Bunch of broken fuck ups who turn on each other for twitch viewers and to defend the new "family". They all have skeletons in their closet and it's only a matter of time before they all end up in shallow graves with their real names on the head stones.

He made some cool videos. RIP Apollo.

Twitter claims another life.

 

[Kulee Baba]

Sorry if I missed it. Do we know how he killed himself? Might have glossed over it, but not asking purely out of an insensitive morbid curiosity. Considering he named names and did a whole-ass video about it, I want to know if it was more an attention grab turned bad rather than a legitimate attempt to die. I know some people tend to think suicide is strictly a painful final solution and that people who do it or attempt are entirely sympathetic, but some people legitimately do cut on themselves or take pills in hopes of getting back at people in their life while also increasing their chances of being saved by leaving warnings-it can be a manipulative thing that can turn sour very quickly.

I don't know the words to use to not sound like a complete cunt, but I'm sure others know of someone who did just what I described and had to have the hard conversation surrounding extreme attention seeker behavior.

However, if he blew his head off, he blew his head off.

Drowned himself.

Just kidding we got no idea.

 

[Hypnopedosnake2]

imagine offing yourself because of video games.

I am sorry, i don't care what he did and it is kinda sad that he had to go with these measures. But are video games really worth it? Shit is autistic as fuck.

 

[CavewomenDCJ]

Hope he died painfully.Everyone involved with this is autistic but he was the autist who thought he was special. Made a bunch of videos exposing cheaters in speedrunning (which nobody cares about) and exposing GDQ which anyone with even small amount of IQ new. But autists often lack brain skills so they believed he was the only one who figured this out and they followed whatever he said boosting his ego even more. Until his ego was exposed and instead of seeking help ,he killed himself and blamed it on the people who exposed him. Burn in hell faggot.

 

[dirt lamb]

Sucks the kid self deleted over some GAYmer shit but now hes going to be remembered for making the most pathetic spectacle out of his anhero journey. Dude definitely knows how to feel sorry for himself.

But hey, now keem can make a new big sad video and tipster can make a new big sad video and augie rfc can shit all over the kid while raking in superchats, so i guess he helped out some friends in the end.

However, if he blew his head off, he blew his head off.

Wondering this too. If he took a bunch of his meds and the cops entered the house the first time they got there and thought no one was home they probably could have tried to save him. And the meds is how I am assuming he did it but, like you said, if it was an instantaneous method then, as morbid as it is, i believe it to be less of a grifting attempt.

 

[Zig-Zag the Grand Vizier]

the older I get and the more I learn healthy coping mechanisms for stress management the more i realize how lazy suicide victims are

if I can deal with the shit I've had to without an hero-ing, you can too

 

[ddlloo]

God, keemstar is such a massive fucking faggot.

He's like 45 or whatever and furiously typing out "IF UR GUNNA AN HERO U OWE ME AN CONVO11!1" like a 13 year old girl to some dead guy on Twitter like he's owed something because the guy was moderately well known or whatever. What a vulture.

Was he especially close to the dude or something? It seems like he always fucking injects himself into shit like this and his "oh mah gawd I can't do this again" tweet comes across more like woe-is-me attention whoring for sympathy.

Keem had interviewed the guy before and was one of only a handful mentioned in a good light in the guy's suicide note, so yeah he did know him. Etika also namedropped Keem, again in a positive manner, in his last video before killing himself. You're being a bit of a brainlet if you're thinking Keem makes the comment of "do one last interview" simply out of feeling he's owed something. Talking to someone who has 'decided to kill themselves' gives you an actual chance to STOP them from doing it. And failing that it's potentially good content if they go through with it and then you air it..

 

[Str8Bustah]

He got called out for being alt right or something for defending RwhiteGoose so the troons will probably say he deserved it.

That literally doesn't mean anything anymore lol. If you even ask simple questions about what happens to all the money raised at GDQ events you get labelled as a nigger-hating fascist even if you're black. The GDQ troomers are all disgusting pieces of shit who deserve every terrible thing that happens to them, and I hope the whole event folds as a result of Apollo's an heroing

I'm no tax expert but don't major charities like GDQ have to file a 501(c)(3) form so that all their spending is made public?

 

[Markorian]

>thread about guy who pissed off a bunch of troons an-heroing suddenly filled with a bunch of mad at the internet types that talk exactly like gdq troons right as the canadians are waking up
Things that make you go hmmmmm

 

[Str8Bustah]

I believe so, but Uyama has always been desperate to hide it for reasons that anyone with even a room temperature IQ can probably figure out. I would not be surprised if half the donations go towards funding dick-lopping surgery for the disgusting troons that make up most of the roster.

 

[janedoe]

the fact that trannies of the speedrun community outlived him is the real tragedy.

 

[Hot Dog]

Is there any info on what physical disorders he was suffering from besides scholliosis?

In his last video dude just looked numb. No emotions, no sobbing, no nothing. He made up his mind.

 

[MarcoFakeAccount]

If we get some info on the area where he lived, that'll help
If he was in the south,in a* rural area, a gunshot would have been common enough to rule out as a common noise in the neighborhood, as seemingly only people who saw the note online called the police.


...atleast from what we know atm. He could have called his mom or something before he did it

 

[pineapple chunks on pizza]

That’s the thing. GDQ has done so much shitty things but they use their influence to target and harass those that question them. But the open secret is that they take like 30% of the donations

 

[Sanshain]

This is the weird thing about Keem that always keeps me from judging him as 'just another asshole on the internet'. I've noticed that while he's objectively an incredibly toxic and abrasive individual, he can be surprisingly sincere on rare occasions. Several people I know have said they like him because he just came out of left field and helped them with something they didn't even ask for. He's the human equivalent of an ongoing train-wreck, but just occasionally it feels like he chucks an orphan out the window instead of deeper into the crash, and that keeps him from being a monster in the eyes of some.

That's too bad for him, but no illness excuses being a massive faggot.

We can talk all day about how some people are born with terrible shit or who suffered something terrible during their lives, but those who give in to it are weak-willed (this is not meant to be an insult). The real "heroes" are the people who manage to sustain themselves, seek help, and push through the terrible things that happened to them without becoming niggers.

You've seen his video. He gave up because "it didn't work for him." That is a bullshit excuse for giving up, and he took the easy way out while trying to fuck over other people (not that they are saints. They are speedrunners, which probably makes them speds, at the very least.)


Yeah, I can talk from a privileged position of comfort, I won't deny it. I'm a metaphorical faggot too, but that doesn't make it any less true.

 

[Nick Nock]

Why are so many people unironically defending Apollo Legend over this? Dude's been a scummy asshat and stirring up drama for years, honestly I'm surprised he didn't have a thread on the Farms.

Here's a quick rundown:

• His "Oceanside" scam
  
  Dude planned to organize a poor man's AGDQ called Oceanside after making a shitty video about GDQ being shady (he didn't even really call out any SJW shit). Then he didn't tell anybody about progress for months after announcing it having all the big runners. He cancelled the thing two fucking weeks in advance. Financing was done using crowdfunding (this will be a theme) which ended up receiving $20,000 of which (to my knowledge) $19,500 were then suddenly claimed to have been his own money all along. He did offer some refunds, but I've heard he just went ahead and reused some of the funds for the Billy Mitchell case as well.
  Shit was shady as fuck even if you give him the benefit of the doubt here.
  
  
• The RWhiteGoose situation
  
  Before you call the SWJ boogeyman, read Goose's own thread, guy's been a cow long even before that shit went down. Goose basically said some extremely far-right shit (all in the thread), acknowledging it as dumb shit and apologising for it. However, the content isn't even really why Apollo Legend got a shitstorm for.
  The guy made a video of the situation where he simply did not even mention the whole Discord leak. You have to keep in mind that he probably had the largest speedrunning channel on Youtube at the time, with videos regularly hitting several million views - people got their information from him. He was clearly trying to manipulate public perception in favor for Goose here, and in an incompetent way to boot.
  
  
• The DarkViper beef - honestly no idea about that one, I've been out of the community during that time and don't care too much about DarkViper. It's discussed in EZScape's video, as far as I understand it Apollo started shit and took a L from it (despite seemingly being correct in the end).
  
  
• Billy Mitchell lawsuit and scam
  
  Long story that goes way beyond this situation.
  In short: Apollo messed with Billy Mitchell (King of Kong) through clickbaiting a bunch of videos and openly calling him a cheater at Pacman and Donkey Kong (the guy is somewhat well-known for his arcade gaming records). He then got sued over it along TwinGalaxies.com (basically the authority on arcade game records), because Billy Mitchell tends to do that. Apollo then worked with TwinGalaxies on a counter case, for which he opened a GoFundMe crowdfunding campaign. which reached again $20,000.
  He explicitly promised refunds in case the lawsuit does not happen, and guess what: it did not, Apollo got kind of fucked over by his incompetent lawyer and TwinGalaxies, and had to settle the matter out of court with Mitchell (including taking down all videos).
  
  Refunds still did not happen for months and Apollo said nothing on the matter. This is where EZScape comes in, who posted a video to his secondary Youtube channel (with 60k subs compared to his main channel with 300k) on the situation and also collectively calling out Apollo for all the scummy shit he did over the years. After a few months, refunds finally happened and EZScape set the video to unlisted, while it still only peaked at about 300k views (Apollo's own call-out videos used to get millions of views).
  
  
• A lot of other small shit and rumours I've picked up and vaguely remember, such as not asking for permission to use their clips (which practically costs the streamer views and thus money if they're on Youtube), supposedly advertising some scummy streaming service, using and wasting the Oceanside / lawsuit funds for Cryptocurrency investments, and acting scummy in regards to many of his videos (e.g. the AGDQ video mentioned above was full of bullshit).
  He's also barely reachable and hasn't been on social media or in contact with anyone for half a year, and only sporadically before that. People who claim he was "backstabbed" tend to forget that for some reason, I mean it's literally one of the motivations that probably led to EZScapes video.
  
  
• Most importantly though: Apollo Legend got famous primarily by making videos calling out others on shitty practices or cheating. He's never been called out publicly like that before DarkViper and EZScape made their videos. Don't fucking mess with people if you can't handle anything.

Dude's been comically incompetent with business matters at best and straight-out has been scamming people for ~$40k at worst. There's really no reason to feel particularly sorry for him in this situation.

I was seriously surprised when his death was confirmed, because to me this looked like another scam considering the ridiculous GoFundMe and no mention of Billy Mitchell in his suicide note (which doesn't make sense to me unless he wants to avoid any legal trouble - guy is literally responsible for his mom having $10k of debt now). I would still not be surprised if he turned up alive and was simply taking some sick "revenge" on people he felt wronged him.

Some of his old content being good years ago doesn't make the fucker a decent human being. The community has moved on for years, his content is shit compared to what Karl Jobst, ironically EZScape, Lowest Percent, Summoning Salt, or even Goose have been putting out recently. Go watch that if that's your only concern here.

If he is indeed dead, he went out in the most pathetic and disgusting way possible.
It is well-known that EZScape has had experiences with a friend of him trying to commit suicide. Call him a faggot, he might be one, that doesn't fucking change you have to be a complete manipulative psychopath to pull something like this, especially since according to EZScape they haven't been in direct contact for months, probably at least July when Apollo Legend posted his last tweet and quit Youtube.
I seriously have no sympathy for Apollo Legend due to this, in fact I hope he didn't go out quietly for acting like an absolute attention-grabbing autistic faggot while not even calling out Mitchell to fire up the shitstorm.
