Yes, he is a bigot.
I'm going to say the exact same thing I said in the last thread that was made when he spouted some hate (which I got banned for, I might add, for "downplaying mental health issues"):
He's an attention seeking asshole.
Plenty of people do drugs or have mental health issues but they don't go around using slurs.So I'm reading on Twitter he has been doing hard drugs. Is this true? This is probably the cause of everything.
No drug turns you into a bigot piece of shit, at most they could make you confortable enough to show your true colors.So I'm reading on Twitter he has been doing hard drugs. Is this true? This is probably the cause of everything.

This is a very naive interpretation of hard drug use. Drugs can cause paranoia and hallucinations but it does not cause spontaneous racism or acute bigotry. He is responsible for his own behavior.So I'm reading on Twitter he has been doing hard drugs. Is this true? This is probably the cause of everything.
Acting like a hyperactive clown during Nintendo Directs has an audience, believe it or not.To be fair.. watching this idiot does not qualify as "culture".. in ANY media
On topic - why do people watch this guy? He (almost) acts more annoying than pewdiepie
He's just a boring sod.People that act like he does over video games aren't fucking normal. He's clearly sick.
Being mentally ill doesn't suddenly make you racist. It just reveals your own racism.
This is untrue. Schizoid disorders can cause massive shifts in personality, and ideology. There have been known cases where an individual could be a completely normal and rational human being, and even extremely empathetic, and then years later become incredibly bigoted and paranoid. Let's not just make broad statements about mental health when we don't know what we're talking about. I'm in no way defending the use of racial slurs, or homophobia but this kid needs help.
Those people were bigoted before their breakdown.
Things like racism don't appear out of thin air. They are deeply embedded in our societies and infrastructures. It's a learned behavior.

I'll say it one last time, there are documented cases of people being normal, and empathetic and suddenly using racial slurs and slinging around bigoted non-sense with a drastic change in ideology. People don't 180 and "show their true selves" when mental illness strikes... That's a horrid way of viewing things. Mental illness is complicated and it CAN cause a shift in views, and such.
Hell I'm not even disagreeing with general statement that bigotry is a learned behavior, you're not wrong... but not every mentally ill person that begins to exhibit bigoted views has always been that way, then can "become" that way due to BOTH factors.
Post these studies. You say we shouldn't act like we know everything that's going on, but how do you know they didn't already have racist behaviors/ideas that they didn't vocalize, even on a subconscious level. Are you in their brain?
I'll second that. I have a brother who is not bigoted, racist, or anything of the sort. However, he does have mental issues where he has had to stay in specialized hospitals for that sort of thing for weeks at a time. I have seen him turn from a loving, sweet dude to a complete asshole who looks like he's trying to get under everyone's skin by saying everything foul word known to man. Then after taking his medication can turn right back into that loving guy. So, it's all about taking care of those issues but you need supervision and someone to be on you about it.I'll say it one last time, there are documented cases of people being normal, and empathetic and suddenly (over a course of time, usually a few years or months even) using racial slurs and slinging around bigoted non-sense with a drastic change in ideology.

Offensive and insensitive to who? Are you assuming I am neurotypical?
Dude posts a bunch of slurs and he's the victim somehow.
Why are the people in this thread supporting this dude? This isn't the second time that he goes around saying extremely Bigoted stuff about people.
People on the last were banned because they were "downplaying mental illness" for not believing him. But when you're constantly going around saying extremely bigoted things. I don't think mental illness is the issue here.
And doubt mental illness will turn anyone to a bigot fool. So save me the excuse for that. Because if that's the case, then you're giving an excuse card to all the stupid bigots in this world!
Exactly. This guy has been an obnoxious, sexist asshole who's "horny on main" personified and gives racists fuel. He should have never been given the benefit of the doubt and that people were banned last time for calling him out is stupid. Stop following dumbass shitty clickbait, people. This content shouldn't be something a grown-ass person would enjoy.
I think's important for me to state here, that I do not like Etika. I find his content juvenile and obnoxious. I don't however like the fact that people are just outright attacking somebody who very much seems mentally unstable... You don't have to "support" him to try and be empathetic in this situation jesus. With that said I hope he gets banned from twitter and gets some help.
I was talking in general, not directed to you. That said, as someone who suffers from depression and anxiety and is on the autism spectrum there is absolutely nothing excusable about what he's doing and if he wanted to be taken seriously he shouldn't have made a persona that makes it impossible to tell if he does have a mental illness or he just wants clickbait attention like usual.
I'm not gonna tut-tut people who are attacking someone known for doing publicity stunts. His "suicide" thing last time was just that (which he personally confirmed because he was forced to and also because he didn't want it to hit his wallet).I don't however like the fact that people are attacking somebody who very much seems mentally unstable...
