Internet celebrity Etika may be losing it again [WARNING: RACIST AND HOMOPHOBIC SLURS] (Update: hospitalized again; see threadmark/staff posts)

Pretty much this, I think he had his youtube channel closed after posting porn on there, then stated that he did it on purpose.
oh... well then....
Last thing I heard about this guy was the suicide thing
Dude is trash. I dunno how the nigga skated away from his last stunt but it's obvious this who he is
I don't have anything to add to this, I'm just quoting you because I don't have the ability to pin it to the top of every thread like this ever.
Why does he get benefit of the doubt for posting homophobic and racist shit?
He's one of those idiotic Vic defenders as well? Nah man, fuck that guy, he's definitely not better than this it seems.
I've known Etika irl for a few years now, had no idea this was going on though. I need to check and see what's going on with him.
I enjoyed me some Etika until his last stunt. Now the dude just needs to disappear and deal with whatever the fuck he's got going on. But the added homophobia just makes ne uninterested in any content he makes going forward.
Um, mental health problems don't make you say shit like this. Why are people defending this person?
Well, I've seen people having anxiety issues that make them lose their temper and say stupid things. Getting help can fix that, if they want to.
Also, I never said he didn't do anything wrong, quite the opposite. My suggestion is that he should cut off from internet so that he won't do damage any further. Let's not mix this up.
It's a racist term for Mexican people. Nowadays it's generally used for all Hispanic people.
Have any of these game playing content creators who become super popular not turned out to be a giant piece of garbage?
Seems like content creators who do more than react or stream gameplay seem to not break/show true colors like these ones.
Gaming Historian, Slopes, MLIG etc all seem fine.

He did this before and it ended up being a way to drum up news and followers. He faked it last time.
Did he? Crap, I missed a lot of things. Guess I'm a total idiot to expect the best from internet celebrity.
What I find really weird about Etika is that after his YouTube channel was closed down I kept seeing a bunch of other youtubers posting Etika's reaction to things, maybe from Twitch or whatever?
But I've also noticed meme videos where people would edit in a video on top of his reactions to something else.
Its stupid that he got so popular that other youtubers would piggyback off his videos like that.
The guy has always been a crazy asshole and a total perv. His reaction videos were cringe central. I'm glad he's not on YouTube any more

The reactions aren't staged. He's passionate.
I'm pretty sure he just made a second YouTube channel that he streams on.
He's still on YouTube.

Etika really needs to only do Nintendo Direct reactions and E3 stuff, and take breaks in-between. Get off the internet after doing those directs and focus on himself. The fanbase will still watch him on those streams.
You're not gonna see a ResetEra thread titled "YouTuber does not do anything racist, sexist, or generally problematic", so you only hear about the asshole ones.
Yeah, I figured as much. It also seems like all of these problematic ones are in the 18 - 25ish range. You'd think some people would grow but then we have PDP.
If it's not a hack, the only thing tht would make sense is that he has a metal issue. I forgot the statistics but a large part of the population has some sort of me tal disorder or illness and just do not know because they haven't been diagnosed. It's sad but a reality. My brother is manic depressant, bipolar abd does shit like this every few months if he's off his meds. Cones out with craziness even towards family.
After faking being suicidal for followers, I have no doubts this is just another stunt. Shame, he was really fun to watch on Nintendo directs.
Lmao
That thread title is some weird reach. Celebrity? Dude needs to pull stunts like that to get signal boosted.
If people say these things during a mental breakdown, they think these things while stable. Vile language doesn't enter one's vocab by accident.
For the most part, yes. There are some disorders that can cause some pretty disturbed thinking.
However, that isn't the case here. He's clearly just an attention seeking piece of shit.
If something bigoted slips out of you it means it was in you to begin with. Absent a more legitimate reason to deflect to mental illness, he doesn't deserve that benefit of the doubt.
A big fuck you to everyone in this thread with your coded language about hoping he gets help or takes a break. We get what you're trying to tell us.

Probs buncha others, special depends on what you mean by super popular
But I figure you don't often hear about the not crazy ones because they are off not being crazy
Those two went straight into the garbage when they decided to defend PDP.
