Just googled the dude and i really expected a white person tbh..
Why?I don't understand how comments like this are ok. People should be banned for this nonsense too.

you're assuming he's telling the whole truth when there is absolutely no precedent to that. if anything, he is the last person to trust about his own motivations. I'm not excusing his behavior, I'm saying that none of us have the information to make a judgment call on what is going on with him and that instead of giving him negative attention or positive attention, we should reach out to people close to him to get him off the internet because clearly he is just using it as a vehicle to stir up shit.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 of
fuck him
Huh?
Edit:
Reading his tweets he sounds like a angry white gamer who hates everything that isnt white and straight. Was surprised he is a black person. Sorry if i hurt feelings
how do you know he's better than this?He was also posting weird descriptions for his YouTube videos, namely for his sub-par Ridley videos.
With that said, really? Come on, Etika. It was bad enough when he was out there defending Vic Mignogna. You're better than this, man.
oh, like the last time, because it worked so wellwe should reach out to people close to him to get him off the internet because clearly he is just using it as a vehicle to stir up shit.
Really? How oblivious could you be.
If you replace white with any other ethnicity how would that comment go down? It should be pretty universal on here. No racism whatsoever.
Mental health problems, hacked ... ? Maybe, just maybe the guy is just an asshole ???
I've been watching Etika since the around the Smash Wii U/3DS hype cycle & he' always been a chill dude, especially during his streams. I'm not excusing his actions in any way, but seeing him do shit like this is disheartening, honestly.

That's what his fans lead you to believe. He is guilty.Wait Vic is guilty? I haven't been following but last time i read they made up false evidence against him.
He just made a video about how he moved into a new place and all. And then he does something like this? What's the point? Why delete everything later as well?
That's what has me confused. Etika has been making legit progress in getting his streams back in order.He just made a video about how he moved into a new place and all. And then he does something like this? What's the point? Why delete everything later as well?
There's a comprehensive Vic thread in Off-Topic that'll catch you up on everything.
Apparently pretty oblivious. I wanted an elaboration that they weren't seriously pulling the "this is anti-white reverse racism" card but I see they were banned anyway. No skin off my back.
Damn, that's sounds like a compelling analysis. Explains the erratic and money-focused thing.Honestly, these episodes sound like drug use to me. He seems pretty "normal" in his streams, but on twitter, he just raves about nonsense sometimes. It would certainly explain his erratic streaming schedule. He barely plays any games anymore and his viewers are constantly complaining about it. After the donations pour in he nopes out of the stream and makes some bullshit excuse.
NotedLeave the Vic shit out of this thread, please. There's already a thread to discuss it.
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)
Exactly. And thats me agreeing as a person who has mental issues himself they are no excuse to be toxic & shitty etc.Sad to still see people making excuses for scum, mental illness and drugs don't turn you racist or homophobic. Stop making excuses for him and trying to make reason for his actions. Report him until he gets banned and we won't see more of it in the future.
I know you're already banned but congrats on the worst take in a while.I don't understand how comments like this are ok. People should be banned for this nonsense too.
It's almost like being the racist oppressor for literal millenia means you get to take shit for it. Spooky.If you replace white with any other ethnicity how would that comment go down? It should be pretty universal on here. No racism whatsoever.
Is he though? This is the second time he's done shit like this? Fool me once, etc.With that said, really? Come on, Etika. It was bad enough when he was out there defending Vic Mignogna. You're better than this, man.
I think he gained his following because his content can actually be pretty hilarious. He pioneered the comically over-the-top reaction vids for Nintendo Directs and other such presentations.
Yes he is that stupid. Last time I thought it was a cry for help, now I realize it's just a cry for attentionWe need to know what happened before we judge, is he that stupid to destroy himself like this?
