Most people think of Discord as just a place to talk with
friends, play games, or hang outin servers.
But behind the usernames and profile pictures, some people
take things too far. I'm talking about online cults,
(00:21):
mental breakdowns, and tragediesthat played out in real time
with real consequences. Today, we will be getting into
some disturbing Discord users whose stories will stick with
you. If you're into this kind of
content, please like and subscribe.
It helps more than you know. Let's get into it, Menhaws.
(00:47):
I've just slaughtered my entire family and will most likely
spend life in jail if I managed to survive.
I hope I made you laugh at one point in another.
I hope you remember the good times.
I will miss you all. Maroon, Manhaz's friend then
sent the following messages whatI just woke up to which Manhaz
(01:08):
replied with I'm sorry, do you want the pics?
It was clear at this point the guilt had already set in.
But how did this even happen? Manhaz had been part of a server
which revolved around the MMORPGPerfect World, a Chinese game.
The server was called Perfect World Void.
Shortly after joining York University in Toronto, Manhaz
(01:31):
dropped out when he was just 19.He was already failing and
performing badly and decided to drop out without telling his
parents. But it's not like he just didn't
mention that fact. He actively tried to cover it
up. He created fake reports, told
his entire family that classes were going great, and held up
the illusion that he was workingtowards a degree in engineering.
(01:51):
The truth was, he was playing video games all day, doing
nothing with his life. He was probably used to doing
this, considering the fact that he'd taken a gap year before
starting university at 19, not at 18 like most people.
He told his parents for the next4 years that he would graduate
in July of 2019. In the months leading up to the
(02:12):
murders, however, he became morestressed.
He even got himself banned for being more offensive than usual.
I'm not being racist. Islam is a religion which is
cancer to the current world. Bro that's true actually.
Facts. You're talking to who?
If you go to a Muslim country like Iraq they'll make you cover
up if you're a girl. Shit is so fucked.
(02:34):
Talking to all Muslim dogs fool.Continue OK Anything else?
You don't know shit about Islam Just play the game N word.
Quran says mountains hold the earth together.
I think Islamic people should betested before they're accepted
into modern countries like Syrians.
I think you should stop trashingother people's religions
immediately. Their values don't reflect
(02:56):
modern day morality whatsoever. June 2019, Tensions grew higher
as his family were excited to see him graduate.
It was at this time he began preparing for the murder,
planning and mentally accepting it on July 27th, Saturday, two
days before his graduation. On the coming Monday, the plan
(03:17):
is set in motion. He began sending messages and
pictures to the Discord server. No, I killed mom and granny so
far waiting for sister and 5 minutes and then died in one
hour. At this point members of the
server were highly skeptical. There's no way he actually
murdered his whole family over alie, but some people were
(03:41):
suspicious that it might be trueuntil their worst fears just got
real. He sent photos of his deceased
family members, their throats slit, the blunt force trauma on
their heads. Some people worked on finding
out his location, while others tried to find out whether or not
these photos were real or fake. They searched them up through
(04:05):
various different reverse image search sites to no avail.
And IP check traced it back to Toronto.
And so, unlike I've seen in the movies, they don't get a
pinpoint location. That narrows it down from 7.3
billion people to 6 million people.
It was like finding a needle in a haystack.
(04:26):
But just then, Minhas logged on to Perfect World.
This is what got him caught. They decided to risk it and had
a member of the Discord who lived in Minnesota called the
Toronto Police Department to step in.
The police were finally on theirway.
He almost immediately ran to Discord and posted.
They were so kind to me. I started getting depressed,
(04:48):
became an atheist and ultimatelycreated this plan.
He sent a couple more images of the murders, this time of his
mom and sister. First mom, then granny, then
sister, and lastly dad. I was shaking the entire day.
He told the server that he did it because he didn't want his
parents to feel the shame of having a son like me.
(05:11):
I'm a pathetic coward and a subhuman.
Since I'm atheist, I believe there's no afterlife.
So I was scared to die and I wanted them to die so that they
didn't suffer, knowing how much of A pathetic subhuman I was.
It's all very selfish. I'm just pathetic.
He was asked what his plan was now, just moments before his
(05:31):
arrest, while he was unaware that the police were on their
way. What will you do with the rest
of your time now? At this point, the action is
done. Eat junk food, visit my
ex-girlfriend, drink, smoke. I've never drank alcohol or a
cigarette. Manhaz was arrested as soon as
(05:51):
the police arrived and just before he answered the door, he
sent one final message. The police are here.
Goodbye. Manhaz Zaman was charged with
four counts of first degree murder.
He was held in custody and bail was denied.
He underwent A psychological evaluation and was declared as
(06:12):
fit to stand trial. Before his sentence was read,
the judge described the murders as systemic and brutal,
committed against trusting family members who supported
him. Based on all the evidence
presented, he was sentenced to life in prison without the
possibility of parole for 40 years.
This is one of the harshest penalties in Canadian law.
(06:35):
Discord deleted the server and any and all clones were swiftly
removed. Asunder Sam Hervey, or better
known as Asunder on Discord, wasa very high achieving student.
Born in 1996, Hervey grew up in International Falls, MN,
(06:55):
performing exceedingly well in both middle and high school.
Although things seemed normal onthe surface, deep down, Sam
Hervey had most likely been going through a lot when it came
to his gender identity. Being born female, Sam wanted to
transition and did so almost immediately.
After turning 18, he enrolled inthe University of Minnesota,
(07:20):
majoring in biochem. Sam underwent hormone
replacement therapy and married a classmate from University,
Usama Hussein in late 2020. Around September to October, San
began to display symptoms of a disorder known as
schizoaffective disorder. This is a miserable combination
(07:40):
of schizophrenia and mood disorders all bundled together
to create a very terrifying mental state, not only for the
victim but for others as well, as this can usually result in
very unpredictable and irrational behavior.
He wasn't able to think properly, was paranoid all the
time, and was incredibly depressed.
(08:02):
It was reported he suffered delusions, hallucinations, mania
and severe depression. And I'm thinking because like,
this backpack was in my bedroom when I turned into a werewolf
and. It was around mid January when
he stopped taking his meds and began to isolate himself.
(08:22):
This eventually led to his spouse Hussein to leave him and
subsequently he dropped out of university.
He started cutting off his friends and family and became a
lot more active online rather than with his therapist, his
mother or his ex. His mother provided support and
told Sam, I will always be available for you, my darling.
(08:45):
But things wouldn't get better. That was the last bit of
communication either of them hadwith each other, and Sam had cut
off his entire family by May 2021.
He needs to get away from it all.
And I've been thinking about a trip for a while now.
A spiritual trip at that, describing it as a pilgrimage.
Early in June of 2021, he departed to India, home to many
(09:08):
individuals in seek of spiritualguidance.
It was here that things got evenworse.
Due to rising pandemic restrictions, he was waylaid in
Bishkek, Kazakhstan. He was running out of time and
money. He couldn't leave Kazakhstan,
but he needed his travel visa, and so we spent most of his
finances on extending visas. This simply added to his
(09:30):
problems. And so now he was in a different
country, broke and stranded, andhe turned to discord.
In early September he signed up,calling himself Asunder and
joined a bunch of servers based on mental health philosophy and
existentialism. Despite this, he would often
talk a lot about depression and S word, wanting it all to end
(09:53):
Asunder. I'm very lost.
Should I accept this as the end?I have no support system.
I really think the worst part isnot having anyone to talk to.
Man, I'm really fucking depressed.
Like depressed to the point where it's likely to cause other
mental health problems. He started to lie.
He begs for money online, claiming his parents had died in
(10:16):
a civil war. But by October 30th he said this
dude I can't take it anymore. Why?
Because it's the only way to love myself I guess.
And then he created an hero Tempest, a chat room.
Hello, welcome to my S word chat.
I'm trying to host my own virtual funeral.
(10:38):
Inhera refers as slang to someone who doesn't want to live
anymore. Obviously he was told by several
people not to do it. That was until he met FM LKFMLK.
Her real identity, still hidden,was at the time a 15 year old
who is part of a notoriously dangerous Discord group known as
(10:59):
764. It's officially known and
classified as a decentralized satanic neo N transactional
extortion network. So, you know, not the
friendliest group of guys, and for all intents and purposes
they are classed as a terrorist group by both the FBI and the
Canadian RCMP or Royal Canadian Mounted Police.
(11:22):
She had been part of this group after proving herself to them
for more than a year. Almost immediately she realized
that something was off about them, and she suspected that he
was suffering from severe mentaldisorders.
She began to ask him why he wanted to do it.
The answer? Aliens shape shifting humans in
the US government conspiring against them.
(11:43):
It was abundantly clear he was not taking his medication, but
FMLK wasn't helping. In a conversation on Discord she
claimed FMLK people say I make people commit S word.
Everything they do is their own choice.
Loli just helped them pick a choice.
But she was doing much more thanhelping.
(12:05):
When are you going to do it? What are you waiting for?
You can do this. She kept on encouraging Sam and
so he planned a place and time. He chose an ancient pilgrimage
site rescue mountain. Sam then DMD FMLK asunder.
Today is the second to last day of my life.
(12:26):
I just bought the gasoline rightnow.
I kind of feel like it was always meant to end like this.
It would continue to send messages not only to FMLK but to
others as well. Bruh I'm crying and I can't
sleep. I don't want to go away, I don't
want you to go away. I don't want the story to end,
but I understand why it has to. I'm on the bus now. 29 people
(12:49):
were in the server waiting to see if he would actually go
through with the deed. That was until he actually
joined the voice chat. He popped his phone up, sat on
the ground and prayed for a bit,and then he began dousing
himself in gasoline before lighting a match.
(13:11):
For the next 30 seconds he was burning alive, writhing in pain
on top of the mountain. Other users began yelling in the
voice chat. We did it.
It's so funny. That's the worst death possible
man. Before FMLK spoke.
Shout out to fucking 764. She was proud.
(13:33):
She deleted all the messages between herself and Sam to avoid
incrimination on the event of a criminal investigation.
A stranger eventually stumbled upon Sam's body and called the
police. It was ruled as a S word.
His belongings have been shippedback to the states with the
authorities noting his mother. She had absolutely no clue that
(13:54):
her child was part of these online groups or that at least
25 people watched him end it. Peyton Gendron On May 14th,
2022, Peyton Gendron committed aracially motivated mass shooting
in Buffalo, NY. The 18 year old killed 10 people
and injured a further 3, all of them African American.
(14:19):
Wearing body armor and a head mounted camera.
He started shooting in the parking lot of a top
supermarket, killing three and injuring one.
Then inside the store he killed 6 more people and injured
another two. A couple minutes later officers
and firefighters would arrive onthe scene.
Many of the employees and customers hidden the stores
(14:39):
break room which they barricadedwith a desk and armed.
Security tried to stop him but his bullets were deflected as
Chandran was wearing body armor who returned fire, killing him.
He specifically targeted AfricanAmerican people as at one point
he pointed his gun in a white cashier but did not shoot,
instead apologizing to them. Just 6 minutes after the
(15:01):
shooting started, Gendron walkedoutside where officers were
waiting for him. Initially he had his gun aimed
at his throat, intending to commit S word, but officers
convinced him to drop the gun ifthe police hadn't arrived as
quickly as they did. Gendron apparently had plans to
continue his attack on more locations.
Gendron had been planning this specific attack for months, but
(15:23):
the motivation for this horrifichate crime started well before.
As a kid, Gendron was very quietand rarely attended classes,
according to former classmates of his.
He himself described his childhood as socially isolated
and that he was extremely uncomfortable around people.
In some of his chat logs he saidI would like to be able to say I
(15:43):
had quite a normal childhood butthat is not the case.
It's not that I actually dislikeother people, it's just that
they make me feel so uncomfortable.
I've probably spent actual yearsof my life just being online and
to be honest I regret it. I didn't go to friends houses
often or go to any parties or whatever.
Every day after school, I just go home and play games and watch
(16:04):
YouTube, mostly by myself. His parents were civil
engineers, and he was also planning on becoming 1,
enrolling at a SUNY Broome Community College in Binghamton
for an engineering science program.
A year prior, in June 2021, Gendron was investigated for
making a threatening statement at his high school in Broome
(16:25):
County. It is not exactly clear what it
was. A government official said that
he threatened to commit a mass shooting at the graduation
ceremony, whereas NBC News said that he said I want to murder
and commit S word in response tohis teacher asking him a summer
plans. Gendron himself said that in an
online chat log. He was detained in a hospital
(16:46):
for 20 hours of saying that he would commit murder S word in a
online assignment for his economics class.
He wasn't charged for anything however, as police thought that
he hadn't made any specific threat that would result in
further action being taken. His guns were also not taken
from him. Gendron had an interest in guns,
but in rural New York, accordingto his classmates, that really
(17:08):
wasn't uncommon. He had several rifles, such as
the Bushmaster XM15AR15 style rifle that he used in the
shooting. He had several racist references
on his rifles, such as the N word in references to other
white supremacist mass orders such as Brenton Tarrant who's
responsible for the terrible Christchurch shootings.
The acronym SYGAOWN, which stands for Stop Your Own
(17:33):
Genocide Against Our White Nations.
The year 2083, which refers to amanifesto of Anders Breivik, a
Neo N who killed eight people inNorway, and also a drawing of
Archangel Michael's Cross, whichrefers to the fascist Romanian
Iron Guard. Leading up to the attack,
Gendron had written a sort of journal and a private Discord
(17:54):
server that contained only him in it.
Half an hour before the attack, several others would be invited
in, but Discord officials said that prior to that there was no
evidence of anyone else having access to this.
He was also planning on live streaming it, with logs as early
as November 2021 showing this. Apparently it also scouted out
the supermarket before sketchingits layout and visiting the net
(18:16):
and several other locations thathad majority black attendants,
such as churches, malls and schools.
He considered attacking A synagogue, but the date he
chose, March 15th, did not occuron a Saturday, so there would
not be that many Jewish people there.
He released 180 page manifesto on Google Docs 2 days before the
shooting. It has details such as date of
(18:38):
birth that match with Gendron. Therefore the author of the doc
is confirmed to be him. According to the documents, he
started off as left wing howeverlater became radicalized after
he spent a lot of time on 4 Chan.
Specifically the Pol discussion board and also the Daily Stormer
which is a neo N website that advocates for the genocide of
(18:59):
Jewish people. He apparently saw infographics,
shit posts, and memes on these websites since early 2020.
Mainly the manifesto is focused on mass immigration, which is a
contentious hot topic in politics even now.
Specifically, it centers on the far right Great Replacement
Theory by Renewed Camus, which claims that immigrants are being
(19:21):
brought in to genocide white people.
It also says that Jewish people are responsible for the push for
transgender rights and several other debunked racist and
anti-Semitic viewpoints. Gendron wasn't particularly
original either, as analysis by the Khalifa and her institute
revealed that 28% of the document was plagiarized from
(19:41):
the manifestos of other white supremacist mass shooters,
especially the Christchurch shooter.
If you exclude discussion about guns and equipment and memes
from the Internet, this percentage jumps to 57% of the
document. After the shoot shooting,
Gendron was taken into custody and shortly taken to court.
He pled not guilty to several charges of first degree murder
(20:01):
and was held without bail under S word watch.
On May 19th, he was officially indicted by a grand jury.
He was charged with one count ofdomestic terrorism motivated by
hate, 10 counts of first degree murder as a hate crime, 10
counts of second degree murder as a hate crime, 3 counts of
attempted second degree murder as a hate crime, and one count
(20:21):
of second degree criminal possession of a weapon.
On November 17th, he pled guiltyto all 25 charges and was given
11 life sentences plus 90 years without possibility of parole.
He is currently held in Livingston County Jail in
Geneseo, NY. He is still facing federal
charges, however, and the Department of Justice is looking
(20:42):
to inflict the death penalty. The trial is set to begin in
January of 2026. All right guys that wraps up
some disturbing discord users. Let me know what you thought
about this video down below. What did you like?

And I think if we take one lesson or moral from today's
video, go outside more everyone on this list or these three
(21:26):
people that we covered today, they were terminally online and
I don't think that's good. So you guys maybe go outside,
touch some grass, so to say, getsome fresh air.
It'll help you out. You'll be all right.
And thank you so much for watching.
