Jack has been urging his subs to sub to PDP over the T-Series bullshit.I'm not familiar with any of that, wait Jack called him out? Or am I wrong
Dudes pulled the same shit before for publicity. He doesn't get the benefit of the doubt anymore.There are some pretty ignorant responses in this thread. The dude is clearly not well. We need to pay a lot more attention to mental health.
Well i'm not familiar with that as unfotunate as that may be. I just don'think ither of them is actively putting negativity or slurs into the world which was my orginal point and there are plenty of other youtube game folks who aren't or like in arin hansons case , used to but doesn't anymore.Jack has been urging his subs to sub to PDP over the T-Series bullshit.

no don't you understand, a repeat offender can't have something wrong with them, instead we have to see redThere are some pretty ignorant responses in this thread. The dude is clearly not well. We need to pay a lot more attention to mental health.
In retrospect I should have gone with internet personality.Calling Etika an internet celebrity is like putting a chandelier in a condemned house.
Would I get off the hook with saying those kinds of stuff just because my mental health isn't top notch either? Why anyone would watch him after the first time is unfathomable.There are some pretty ignorant responses in this thread. The dude is clearly not well.

As much as I hate to agree with this (I love Etika) I actually have to agree. I have some serious mental problems myself and I've done a lot of things that I'm really gonna be regretting the rest of my life and I can say right now that mental health might have been the reason, but it's never the excuse: you grow up and you seek help, otherwise you're a danger to yourself and others. Forgiveness in this regard isn't gonna be whether or not you were in a manic high or whatever, it's all about whether or not you've truly changed.no don't you understand, a repeat offender can't have something wrong with them, instead we have to see red
in the words of a wise philosopher, fuck him
Yep we should ban threads about him, this kind of threads is part of what these attention whores are looking to get. He is just overacting like in all of his dumb reaction videos.
No one is saying that. It is entirely possible to say someone suffers from mental illness and can be held responsible for their actions. It's not that you don't know what you're doing, it's that you cannot control your inhibitions. Poor impulse control isn't an excuse, it's an explanation. Combine that with a career that encourages shock value, a fanbase that gaslights you, and financial concerns, and you create the perfect environment for someone with poor impulse control to do something hurtful which is what etika is doing now. Is he doing it for attention? Yes. Is he aware of what he's doing? Also, yes. Should he be given a third chance? I say, no for two reasons. First, because he's broken trust at least twice and secondly because the environment of Twitch, Twitter, etc. is having an adverse effect on his body and mind.Would I get off the hook with saying those kinds of stuff just because my mental health isn't top notch either?

It's a common racist slur against MexicansWhat on earth is a "wetback"? Also someone needs to take his twitter away.

Although that doesn't excuse the anti-latino and anti-gay slurs.
I agree. I'm also disappointed in him. I don't think his behavior should be excused in any way. I think he should withdraw from online, seek professional help, and figure out what he wants to do from there. I would hope that he would realize that his current profession is unhealthy for him and I think any mental or emotional health professional would tell him that. A simple "sorry guys" wouldn't cut it because online apologies are inauthentic by default.I think he just needs to pause and get more help than just one psych ward visit if everything I'm reading is correct. It seems to me like even though he went to a hospital, he's still going through something and has a lot to fix on his own end. Honestly screw this whole "i was going through a mental episode i'm sorry" excuse I see so used a lot like it's one thing if you had one and you're an entirely different person now, it's another thing if you had one and right when you're kind of calmed down you apologize but then do the exact same thing. Etika's career will survive, there have been people in the entertainment industry MUCH higher up than he is who have done way worse; but they've all actually followed up with treatment.
Also blah it feels weird typing this. Etika's fun, I like him, but as someone who also has had some mental episodes I'm kind of disappointed at the same time if that makes any sense.

I think this yelling guy needs help.
Also I don't know any other streamer that fakes his reactions so much.
He's a full-on, self-loathing racist. Honestly one of the worst characters in the FGC.
Really?
I've seen footage of him being a self-hater and bashing Black people. Unless that's a joke/gimmick he's doing.
I like Mark even though I don't watch his vids and I kind of think he can be a little over-the-top (in that way that most kid-friendly gaming tubers are)Markiplier

It's thanks to him that I have a policy of just closing your video and ignoring your channel if I press play on one of your videos and am hit with instant shitnoise

Nah fuck Etika. I gave him the benefit of the doubt the first time, but I'm not going to sit here and hope for his wellbeing when this is now consistent actions from him. Especially considering the history of his Twitch chat and other things.Dudes pulled the same shit before for publicity. He doesn't get the benefit of the doubt anymore.
Maybe read the OP? And why post if you don't care? Not knowing about internet culture doesn't make you interesting or sophisticated.
