Why does he gets the benefit of people thinking he has a mental health issue instead of him just being, you know, a racist and a bigot?
Not everyone can be helped.That's edgy. Hope someone sits him down and helps him find his brain.
he doesn't have the benefit of the doubt anymore after the last stunt he pulledMaybe he got hacked?

still wonder what this KOS-MOS thing is about though.
I think because of his past actions. He had a Youtube account with more than 700k followers that he got deleted after growing increasingly erratic and then posting hentai porn videos on it. He said he was struggling with certain mental issues at that time, which is easy to believe considering he was one of the biggest Smash youtubers and got his account deleted right before Ultimate came out. Essentially setting an enormous pile of money on fire.Why does he gets the benefit of people thinking he has a mental health issue instead of him just being, you know, a racist and a bigot?
Being mentally ill doesn't suddenly make you racist. It just reveals your own racism.
How does this not count?
Unless if rampant racism and homophobia on a series of tweets isn't stupid?
Do we blame Ambien this time? Mental health isn't an excuse for this sort of behaviour. Lots of people (myself very much included) have suffered from mental health issues yet don't do this.
Are you familiar with Etika at all? People saying that aren't just looking for excuses to get him off the hook.The 'could be mentally ill' bullshit to justify racism, homophobia and bigotry is so fucking stupid.
But being mentally ill doesn't make you suddenly racist or homophobic.Are you familiar with Etika at all? People saying that aren't just looking for excuses to get him off the hook.
Sadly I don't think posts like that can get you banned on Twitter. They have an atrocious record on content moderation policies.He's an absolute cunt, and that's the bottom line. Imagine going around spewing hatred like that with a viewership size he has.
I've reported him on Twitter anyway, hopefully he's banned on that.
Just read up on this and what the fuck? This guy really is a moron. The kind of moron who could legitimately say this kind of shit in the OP.People saying he got hacked need to remember that he torpedoed his own Youtube account, which had more than 700,000 subscribers. This is basically nothing compared to that.
I think we are just discussing it.
Etika has done stuff like this before though.
Considering his last "mental breakdown" was just a publicity stunt gone bad, I hesitate to think that's the case.

Because he one of few these "gamer celeb" that also minority PoC I guess? like this happening to Etika who I have no knowledge for, but I gonna bewildered the fuck out if Someone like SonicFox act like this.Why does he gets the benefit of people thinking he has a mental health issue instead of him just being, you know, a racist and a bigot?
How about reading the tweets in full.
...
obviously you didn't read the tweets that the OP linked
Reading the OP before posting is tough.

Etika...Family friendly?Given the content he does which is family friendly Nintendo, he is really pushing the button with this.
Would not be surprised if Nintendo of America decides to never let him touch their stuff and takes down anything Nintendo related. It's bad publicity for Nintendo to gave Erika cover their stuff even if he isn't affiliated with them.
And if that at all happens that's a huge blow.
let's consider the possibility that his last mental breakdown wasn't just a publicity stunt and that what is going on behind the scenes is more embarrassing for him than lying and saying it was a publicity stunt. Just because we watch these people on Youtube or twitch, doesn't mean we know what's going on in their personal lives. Streamers lie when they're on stream, they have an image to maintain.Considering his last "mental breakdown" was just a publicity stunt gone bad, I hesitate to think that's the case.
Well some of his following are probably teenagers and the like. Maybe not family friendly but more so teen friendly.
They could blacklist him like they did to Josh Tomas, but I don't think they send him stuff and invite him to events in the first place.Given the content he does which is family friendly Nintendo, he is really pushing the button with this.

Well he just deleted it, but he said something like, "Well, sorry for clogging up your twitter for the past 48 hours. I'm going to sleep. See ya tomorrow!"
So yeah, a stunt most likely.
except that he fully admitted that it *was*, and that the main (but not sole) motivator behind it was money that he was *not* getting because of the network he was a part oflet's consider the possibility that his last mental breakdown wasn't just a publicity stunt and that what is going on behind the scenes is more embarrassing for him than lying and saying it was a publicity stunt.

That seems miles better than his fans not knowing about it though, and there being no record of it.I dunno, it's like okay some arsehole posted some really hateful shit on Twitter... so here are the hateful comments. And here's an archive of the hateful comments in case they get removed.
i can definitely see the argument, but at the same time it's good to let people know what kind of person this guy is (again)I dunno, it's like okay some arsehole posted some really hateful shit on Twitter... so here are the hateful comments.
