Seeing his goodbye video uploaded was tough. I didn’t know shit about this guy before this thread. But I recognize that look. I recognize the thinking going unsaid. I’m sorry again to fans of his and I really hope this cat has peace.

Just tragic. Loved watching his gaming and anime-related content(he was particularly very animated and charming when reacting to anything JoJo’s related). Screw everyone who joked about what he was going through the last several months of his life. I didn’t know he had suicidal thoughts until the fall of last year, and a bunch of chuckleheads jokes around with “Again?” and things like that. And Etika would keep having episodes like this throughout this year and people kept on joking. Also screw Keemstar who's been acting like he is actually sad about this when he was the one who was mocking him the hardest.

I'd seen his content in passing. But I started watching his series of him going to the dark/deep web. Being the age I am having interacted with many young people in there age range, they have access to everything but the help they need handle their situations.
My condolences go to his family.

Mental health and it’s issues can be this malignant dragon that changes shapes and consumes people. I am so sorry for those who were fans. Tragic. Yeah, I know about that shit from a first-hand basis. And I know I'm not the only one on these boards that's had to deal with mental health issues. It's a pain that I wouldn't wish on anyone.

Keemstar actually cause a decent chunk of damage when Etika went missing because he stated that he was “fine” because some of Etika’s gaming monitors went missing around the time Etika did, basically dumping napalm into the fire that was the idea that Etika was simply ducking out at a friend’s house.

Oh my sweet Jesus tap dancing Christ on a pogo stick.
Someone brought to my attention that Holly, as in the Holly from that ProJared mess, has been piggybacking Etika’s death to try and use it as an example of cancel culture going too far and how she and Etika went through similar situations, and I just....can’t. What she is doing is making every fiber of my being, from my skin to my bones, crawl in disgust.
Their situations are not even remotely similar. Etika was a tragic story of someone suffering from depression and other mental health issues putting out clear pleas for help, and only getting responses from braying jackasses.
Holly is a cheater who ruined two marriages involving public internet figures and she is being shocked that people are rightly calling her on her shit. Now, in her defense, many of those people are being complete and total assholes, but even then. Extremely poor taste, Holly.

Holly has openly talked at times well before this about suffering from depression and other mental issues as well, and used to host a mental health stream thing to help anyone that followed her that was dealing with similar issues. Poor timing on her part, but she has been dealing with and helping to try others deal with it for years.

I think she really could have worded it better, at least, because as it is written currently it is just....yikes.

Like a couple others, I'd never heard of the guy before this thread but damn this is kind of hard to digest. I suffer from depression and anxiety like many others here and I can't even imagine dealing with it on the level that kids do these days, where nearly everyone in the world can access your online content but is also free to just make things exponentially worse...even emboldened to do so due to the anonymity of the internet. It certainly makes me evaluate even the limited freedoms we've given our kids online. I can only hope that there's going to be some flip-sided silver lining with events like this being so public now and at the very least the US will take action to destigmatize mental illness and realize the help that people actually need.

I'm looking at the Splatoon 2 Inkopolis Square and all the drawings are Etika based. Dude had a tremendous impact on the Nintendo fan community that I didn't think ran this deep. RIP dude.

Fredrik Knudsen (guy who does Down the Rabbit Hole) had to post something saying he's not doing an episode on Etika for the foreseeable future, guess had a lot of people hounding him about it.

She really should had just say R.I.P or say nothing at all instead of using Etika death to get back into people good grace after the Projared drama. She about as bad as Keemstar atm.

Youtuber Bobdunga has talked a lot about all this, given she personally knew Etika, and he sounds like he could be a real cool guy, offering a lot of encouragement to her and promoting her to his fanbase to help her get her follower count up, along with encouraging her when she went public about an abusive relationship with that "RelaxAlax" youtuber shithead. Kinda makes me all the sadder I missed out on really knowing about this guy much, but I guess it would have just made this that much more painful to see play out.

I been watching people tribute video to Etika today and alot of people say that without Etika, their channel wouldnt be as big as it now without his help. He seem like a nice guy who cares about his fanbase and was trying to uses his status as a bigger name YouTube to get smaller channel notices.
