I hinted in one of my posts of a man Etika helped out, and he breaks down what he feels went down. And it's exactly what it was. Etika walking that path with that man would have done him super well for him.

gonna go through a lot of his vids later on. Y'all should shoot him a follow.

So does mental illness excuse racism? :mjpls: I'm quite fukked up but I'm not out here using ****** to get edgelord points from cacs. It's disgusting what you all will excuse.
most of those complaining are nonblack.

So they usually don't find racism or c00nery a big deal. Just ignore their fake sympathy bullshyt

:hubie:

That c00n spirit demonic brehs
i didnt know much about him but i always assumed a popular black streamer with a fanbase that seems to be young white boys is probably c00ning to some degree, and that is bad for your health. that is probably what always kept me from checking out his content.
Black men like him are those millennial c00ns. they think saying ****** is provocative and gets the people going :gladbron: they think tyler the creator is a #GOAT and love 808s and Heartbreak


Man. Fukk yall.

In so many words it sounds like Etika pandered to a bunch of white gaming nerds to get the bag but wound up losing himself in the process. People around him were telling him “bruh you doing too much” but he would push them aside cuz he was “getting to the bag”.

But one day the “getting to the bag” was starting to compromise who he was as it was requiring him to always go to new extremes to satisfy his fans. When he realized this he saw that his whole financial life was propped up on a foundation of c00nery and shucking and jiving and he realized all bridges he burned and people he pushed to the side to proceed in such c00nery without reproach.

Now he is in a dilemma, he can switch up his content but then lose his followers and the bag lose his condo and everything, he can get a 9-5 and make way less and lose his condo...

...orrrrr...you know the rest.

Compromising oneself due to a lack of knowledge is one path I do not wish on any black man/woman. I'm so glad I grew up knowing what time it is so despite me being into games and electronics, I wasn't on some c00n shyt trying to win the approval of whites and their enablers. I didn't really check out Etika's content aside from a few reaction videos of him for Smash Bros/Nintendo stuff. I didn't even know dude was talking the way he was talking in some of the tweets posted. That's what makes this sadder is it seemed like he kind of realized it too late and took the choice to kill himself to escape facing himself which wasn't necessary. :snoop:

I did follow him, for a while, and I simply couldn't register that shyt he was saying/doing sometimes, one bit. and I know the people he was close to couldn't either. I legit heard him say "are you ni**ering me?" on stream once had me feeling all the way different about him, but enjoyed the shyt he was doing that wasn't THAT bullshyt. I would have loved to support Etika through donation or buying a shirt at least once because I saw him from 0 to his rise, but I couldn't drop a dime on what it was, he was doing. It almost seemed like not even he believed the stupid shyt coming out of his mouth, and knew he was saying it just to appeal to them, especially when he brought up that silly reasoning behind the Pewdiepie shyt.

What's weird is that Etika truly didn't understand the supportive people behind him. People wouldn't have left him if he chilled the fukk out take a step back, and collect himself. People were in chat sometimes telling him to stop all the drinking, people donating him just happy to be a part of the stream. That quick rise to success off that 1 viral Mewtwo vid which is a majority of what people remember about him, wasn't what he was initially about. Dude was actually playing a bunch of different games, and reporting and giving his insight on a lot of Nintendo news, and did pretty funny vids in between. At some point I think it might have been 2016 he dropped ALL that shyt and did a shyt ton of streams straight doing bullshyt for people who were donating HUGE amounts of money to him in a single stream.

The dude truly lost himself through social media and all the people who helped him stay straight were no longer around him anymore. They didn't cut him off, just couldn't get close to him because he wouldn't allow it. So those same people warned his fans to stop meming and telling him he's crazy sending him to the mental ward making him think the conclusion to all his behavior was that he was insane or he would eventually believe it, and those same toxic people his brand bred did it anyway, and even that Keemstar dude who's now doing all that donating was a clear part of the enabling of foolery as well.

TL;DR social media/Internet got people losing their grip on reality but that ain't nothing new.

Never heard of him.

Glancing through the thread, seems he was yet another Twitch streaming c00n. Seems to be typically with young black streamers highly popular amongst the reddit/twitch crowd.

This is what you get when weirdo shyt and instability is celebrated. Now nikkas wanna act shocked. :mjlol:
RIP and all but I mean...
