You can pretend you don't care all you want, but imagine you're in his position, in the spotlight. There's hundreds of thousands, if not millions of internet users judging your every decision, and on top of that you're bi-polar and depressed. You breakdown on stream multiple times. You're ashamed of it. You play it off like it's nothing but it's not.
Depression is no joke. You lose appetite. You feel numb, no emotions but cold. You feel alone even in the biggest crowd. You lose everything and eventually that's it... you lose it.
Only those who are true sociopaths can laugh at a dude who is 20 years old dying young. Very sad. Shame on these fucking unfunny stupid fucking trolls. Imagine being a family member or friend. Imagine that happening to someone you love. Fuck you. Genuinely. Yes I'm fucking mad.
>all these literal chimps in these threads chimping on chimps over their black-and-white chimpery
Yes, I'm calling out all you faggots. You're not "edgy" for making fun of suicide, and you're not a "goody-two shoes" for defending a suicide victim. You're all just a bunch of subconcious cucks playing up to the whims of your petty ego alongside the collective subconcious ego-cucks you've raising yourself up with. Morality in the absolute sense does not exist and is just a societal construct to keep you apes in line. You don't need someone or something to tell you what's "good" or "bad" to realize what you truly want
>Imagine being a family member or a friend You were neither faggot. He never even knew or cared about who you are. Celebrity culture is cancer, stop worshipping them.
Jack Roberts
he was at best a shitty dollar store version of Dashie.
animals adapt to their environment. this world is becoming colder and more cruel every day, why should it be a surprise that everyone is an unfeeling sociopath nowadays? why do you think everyone ghosts each other online? nobody gives a fuck about anyone except for themselves
I agree, but I also disagree with you making a thread about it. Fuck off.

>Only those who are true sociopaths can laugh at a dude who is 20 years old dying young. He was 29
Alexander Morales
Why is this site filed with sociopaths obsessed with trannys and black people. I swear I know so much about trannys because people keep posting shit like the statistic. This etika stuff just got these guys out of the woodworks to shit it up and tell everyone to dilate tfw idk what that means and I’m too scared to look it up
Tyler Cooper
129 people commit suicide every single day in the United States.
And yet you think his matters because he was famous.
Fuck you OP. A genuine fuck you to you. You're so obsessed with the hero worship, celebrity dick sucking culture of America that this person, who you have never met, spoken to, or interacted with, had some sort of affect on your life?
Literally all his death means to you is you don't get any more content from him to watch. That's it nothing more. So in reality, you're selfish. You're making a big deal of this because you, in your boring, envious life, want more forgettable videos from someone you idolized for nothing more than possibly making you laugh.
Fuck you. Go make your life worth something. Or don't, and die forgotten. Your choice.
F, thanks for being respectful. Rare to see these days in such an infested wasteland full of manchildren and neckbeards with no empathy and pure edginess.
Not funny.
Grow up & take a reading course.
>Morality in the absolute sense does not exist
I was almost with you, but this is simply not true. Objective morality exists. Otherwise the world would be the purge 24/7.
Oh, the edgelord posts gore, what a surprise! Yikes.
Or maybe not everyone could reach him? Maybe his friends tried?
It doesn't matter, you're missing the point. Also not worshipping, proving a fucking point.
You're right. And it may look like virtue signaling, but maybe I'm trying to make a change. People here need to attempt to look in a mirror, as awful as that may be for some. Words have consequences.
Wyatt Harris
It was mean when he called boogie a cheese drinking fat fuck though
Jordan Brooks
I love how these threads have pretty much the same posts now
Thomas Rodriguez
He was a criminal that punched a cop
Wyatt Morales
Contrarian opinion: I really don't give a shit that he died. I pondered this situation for a while and did some research, and discovered he had been banned off YouTube and twitch a few times. With waning interest in Smash, I imagine Etika felt immense pressure to popularize himself in some way, which explains his other breakdowns. Since that wasn't enough to restore his fame, the conclusion I came to was that his depression/psychosis caused him to believe becoming an internet martyr would be more actualizing then living his life, and probably gander more exposure. Because of this, I cannot pity him.
Let me know what you guys think. It took me a while to formulate my opinion on this, but I think it's a better opinion then the faggots just saying "glad he's ded lol"
I never cared about him and I'm still not laughing, but I will freely admit his behavior up to that point made me feel certain he was just looking for attention again. Honestly all I've taken away from the whole thing is not to brush people off for crying wolf a few times, I trust my gut way too much on this type of thing and if it were someone I actually cared about then I'd be devastated. I will never fucking understand why he did it, but I won't make fun of him either.
Adam Cox
Yes youre proving a point that youre obsessed with and defending someone who never gave a shit about you, and that you were obsessed with their persona. It's a fucking internet celebrity kid, grow up. Save your tears for people that you know and love instead of putting on a show of virtue signalling because youre an indoctrinated child who cant tell reality from fantasy.
Lucas Baker
I figured. These threads look suspiciously like some of the hilariously cringeworthy twitter posts I got linked earlier. Hope you're having a good day user.
Liam Brooks
Did I fucking say he matters more than anyone else? No. I'm saying making fun of the dead or saying he deserved it is shitty and you can at least acknowledge the guy had mental issues but despite that he was a decent person.
Also, you make a lot of assumptions in your statement. I don't worship the guy, I fucking only saw a few clips of him but I felt for him. Because i have empathy and have been through similar mental states myself before seeking help. I pity him, not worship him. That's all I ask, look in the mirror and ask yourself why you're so defensive.
>Or don't, and die forgotten. Your choice.
The irony here is interesting. Most of the people on this board will die forgotten. That doesn't really mean anything. None of this discussion means anything. I'm posting this out of basic morality and because I'm bored, that's it. You're taking it really seriously for someone who doesn't care.
Yeah, more exposure even though he's dead. I don't think your last thought makes sense. He was mentally ill, you're overthinking it. He was a victim of his own mind, not someone looking to cash in (Though maybe at first)
>Only those who are true sociopaths can laugh at a dude who is 20 years old dying young I'm not even necessarily disagreeing with the rest of your post, but he was nearly fucking 30 (29, to be exact). Get your facts straight before making these types of preachy posts

I called it a publicity stunt when he went missing. I still regret that. Sorry, Etika.
>There's hundreds of thousands, if not millions of internet users judging your every decision, and on top of that you're depressed. >You play it off like it's nothing but it's not. >Depression is no joke. You lose appetite. You feel numb, no emotions but cold. You feel alone even in the biggest crowd.
No one's going to believe me, but I'm a YouTuber with 2.5 million subscribers, and these words couldn't be more true for me. I feel like I'm going to follow in Etika's footsteps within 12 months. The only thing keeping me alive is the fact that I don't want to die until I've beaten BOTW2.
>Yeah, more exposure even though he's dead. I don't think your last thought makes sense. He was mentally ill, you're overthinking it. I don't think so. If he truly lost all will in life and just wanted to die, he wouldn't have posted an eight minute video and scheduled it for a later date. He literally set himself up to be perceived as a martyr. Not many people go out of their way to do that.
Charles Hughes
That’s all cool reddit man, but it was you and your community that bullied him to death, not Yea Forums, crying about him now is useless and isn’t going to help anything, the ship has sunk, you reddit people betrayed him and he’s dead.
He threatened suicide multiple times on stream and twitter so, naturally, no-one took his threats seriously. It's quite simply a modern retelling of "The Boy Who Cried Wolf

This retard was just chillin on a bridge doing a "top kek I'm not really a suicidal but suicide is really a bad thing so please like and subscribe" kind of video and he fell of. Fucking poettry.
Agreed. OP here, I didn't even think he was going to do it for real.
The lesson is: You aren’t alone.
1. Reach out if you’re hurting. 2. Check in on your friends more.
Team effort.
Missing the point of my post, feel free to re-read what I wrote.
I wasn't even that big of a fan, which is my whole point. But yeah, whatever he was 29. I must have misread his age. Not even a preachy post, but now if you have any sense of morality at all on here you're considered a preachy SJW tranny for having a fucking heart. How sad.

Who cares what randoms have to say about you? I've been called every name in the book.
Will their approval effect my life in any significant positive fashion? Have they made a valid judgement of my moral or professional character?
If the answer to both of these is "no", I don't have any emotional energy to spare for their disapproval.

Thousands of people did and nobody could really blame you considering his behavior up to that point. He turned down help time and time again, he kept acting like a clown, he got dragged away by SWAT screaming about joycons, he talked about "scheduling his next mental breakdown for the 20th" and then he just jumped off a fucking bridge.

Try being on the verge of being homeless with no other contacts, friends or even family to help you. Just do your youtube shit, play some rules but maintain your style, and save money up for comfy living. Live a simple life. You have a dream job, while others need a college degree and 10 years of experience just to end up dying slowly at office jobs for 9 hours a day.
Luke Perry
My best friend is bipolar. She's on medication and has been stable for years and has a successful career, is so loving and nice, and I'm incredibly grateful that she's doing well, but I remember when she wasn't. She was so cruel, she said and did horrible things, but it wasn't her. Her life could have taken a very different turn, she could have died. I don't have much to say but I am so sad for those who suffer like my friend, or like Etika or any number of people, an I'm so mad that people are so uncaring that they don't get the help they need, that our world is so cynical and unempathetic...expecting a mentally ill person to behave like a stable person is like expecting someone with broken legs to run. It's just not right.
Cooper Wood

The funniest thing about this whole thing is that people like OP were the ones that quite literally pushed him to the edge. The man was clearly fucked in the head, but nobody cared because they only wanted to see their funny monkey dance. Now that they killed him they're crying these crocodile tears, disgusting.

That's fine, but internet famous people still get a lot of pressure to entertain/perform and also are judged and hated on constantly, which could make any of us lose it. It's not easy being in the public eye, that's a myth. They may have more money but the rest seems stressful and overrated
Gabriel Kelly
This reminds me of mumkey jones. Faggot shit aside. He was in a point in his life where he was gonna kill himself after the breaking bad finale, but for some reason he didn’t. He even says he doesn’t know why he wanted to stay alive afterwards.
Eli Price
We're all just animals with brains. The things you listed, they're just conditions, they're societal things, descriptors of what someone does with their time and the labour they do with their body. But the inside, the brain, it's a constant. If someone cuts your arm off, you lose an arm, it'll hurt regardless of your job or your bank account. If your brain has something so seriously wrong with it that it makes you want to die regardless of your material conditions, it really doesn't matter what's going on in your life. We just have a much easier time understanding physical injury than empathizing with mental illnesses.
Robert Kelly
>no one believed he was going to kill himself until he actually killed himself
Wow, it's almost as if he should have received help after the first time he said it
Justin Nguyen
I believe he was in a psych ward but the idiots released him, that's the true tragedy, fucking hospitals need to learn to keep patients until they are truly better mentally. Not just release them because they put on a fake smile. What a sham.
Wyatt Peterson
He was legitimately crazy and couldn’t think straight from drug abuse. Literally a month before his death a swat team showed up at his house, carried him out and beat up a cop a week later
William Jackson

Suicide is the cowards way out.
Everyone has their fair share of problems to deal with; why should the people who took the easy way out get any sympathy? You know that boo-hoo hard life, we're still here dealing with it while they chose to give up. Pathetic.
You want something in life don't expect it to happen on its own.
