| This is heartbreaking, he was always one of my favorite youtuber and had the best reactions on youtube, he was truly a great guy. I have no words... Last time I cried was when my grandfather died, 5 years ago... Source: https://twitter.com/NYPDnews/status/1143558996172967937 |
 |
| Never heard of him, but based on what I just read about him on Wikipedia, he had some negative thoughts for some time. |
 |
| I never really watched his stream/youtube but he did seem like a genuinely nice guy. It sucks so much that he never got the help he needed to not come to this conclusion. Even more so since it was well known is mental health had been declining in the last few months :( |
 |
| The guy has had multiple breakdowns and many seemed to play it off for laughs and moved on to continue watching his silly videos. Crazy how nothing was able to be done despite the obvious and increasingly serious signs. |
 I can see you |
| No one could help him because he kept refusing the help. At the point he was, him rejecting help should not stop the treatment. Lives are lost because of negligence and he was just another name on that long, long list. My condolences to his family who, as I understand, now have to deal with a second suicide (his brother in 2010, apparently). |
 |
| Wait this was real? I saw the news online and thought it was just another meme of his. I didn't follow him but RIP. |

| Knowing little about Etika’s case since he beat an officer, the SWAT entering his apartment, his mental illness. Sounds to me like he committed suicide. |

|
| RIP Nobody believed he would do it either due to the large number of public mental breakdowns he had and he used some of them for attention. However, he should've stayed in the mental ward after he punched that cop though. |
 |
| RIP That sucks, he had some funny reaction videos.... I feel like a lot of the time we use humor too often to cover up whats really wrong inside and play it off... |
 "The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. If you try it, you will be lonely often, and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself." -Friedrich Nietzsche |
| holy shit this is sad. He was a great content creator and just overall nice and fun guy. It's insane what social media can do to you. fuck all those people who were making jokes out of him dying. I remember I used to watch his streams too. RIP |
| I just wish we knew what happened a few months ago, seems that's when his downfall started. Note he never gives any reason. May he rest in peace after all. |
 |
| I'm pretty shocked of this. I didn't follow him actively but what I watched of his content and his humor I enjoyed a lot and never would have thought this would be his end. I wish best to his family and other close people. Rip |
 |
| Shit, I really liked his content even if I hadn't been keeping up lately. It's so sad that he had been declining mental health wise for some time. He'll be missed. |
 |
| I never really enjoyed reaction videos, but Etika's stuff has always been humorous and genuine. I remember looping his reaction to Goblin Slayer's first episode when I was feeling down due to some work complications. Impossible to not smile through the whole thing. The hard truth is, his state of mind during these past weeks have been hinting towards this very moment. Sucks that plenty of his fans on Twitch was making fun of his condition. I hope they fully realize that their actions have cost them their idol. Rest in peace, Etika. |
 |
| I watch his final livestream video, and basically it was a good bye video, he even said he won't know how attack on titan will end, which was surreal for me, because in your last moment to remember a anime, never got the impression that attack on titan was a really close series to him. But that's far from the point, mental illness should be taken seriously and all those people that are still making fun of him when he is dead, is truly a scum, the lowest of the low. |
| do not know him but RIP goes to show that mental illness can affect everyone even successful people |
| never watched him much, but i did find his content amusing, and it's a real shame to lose someone like him. really upsetting to see what he must have been going through, and nobody helped him. Rest in peace my dude |
| Didn't really watch his vids or even am familiar with who he is but that's sad to hear he had things in his life that made him feel that way. RIP |
| Wasn't a passionate viewer but did watch his stuff from time to time, was pretty fun. It honestly seemed like it was gonna happen much sooner but damn it's pretty sad |
 'On-Hold' is another way for a completionist to say 'Dropped' |
| I watched his livestream, and the way he ends the video: "two wrongs don't make a right, but....you know." Makes my heart break. He fully acknowledges what he was doing was not going to fix his problems, especially to those around him he pushed away. He didn't want others entangled in his own problems and went down this rabbit hole for the past few months all by himself. He knew he was mentally ill, he even says so in the video, but he couldn't see a way out... My thoughts and prayers are with him and his friends and family, RIP |
 |
| Rip. I watch some of his videos before. |
| Never heard of him til now but heard he was an Amazing Streamer. RIP |
 It’s okay to look back at the past, just don’t stare too long |
| RIP. I never subscribed to him but I do watch his video sometimes because his reaction was interesting. |
 |
| as an ex-competitive smash bros player... i know many people who knew him and i've seen several of his videos.... its really sad... |
   |
| i read some of his outburst/mental breakdown on fandom.com earlier and damn why his friends and family did not admit him to a mental hospital for much longer because the dude is clearly going violent like even brawling with the police this is family negligence imo |
| RIP, I really liked his reaction videos to anime-related stuff, he was a funny dude. I even watched his whole let’s play of DDLC a while back. I wasn’t the biggest fan but sad it came to this and I’ll miss his videos for sure. |
| I only learned about Etika when he was featured on PewNews before. Even Felix has shown concern for the guy and suggested him too to get help. Unfortunately, he got consumed by his own demons. Really a tragic end. Rest easy now, man. |
 |
| Used to watch his videos but stopped when his reactions went way too over the top. Sad news indeed. RIP. |
 |
| I never really watch his videos. But may he Rest In Peace |
| I've watched his reactions several times, not very often though. I saw his recent tweets, especially about Shingeki no Kyojin's last week episode. It makes me afraid when i read that. Rest in peace, mate. |
| I also watched some of his reactions back then but I didn't follow him to know him well. I know he was pretty a pretty humorous guy. It's sad and unfortunate but may he rest in peace. |
 |
| Never heard of him. RIP |
| Time for Youtubers to exploit this man's death of course. RIP. |
| what's Etika's MAL account? |
 plz @ me |
| I didn't watch his content but I did follow along with the drama surrounding his psychotic episodes these past months. I guess his condition was worse than people thought. |
 |
| I didn't watch his vids nor streams, but I did know that somebody like him existed and was active mostly for his reaction videos posted on YouTube and forum being a streamer, though I dunno what types of games he liked to stream. I heard about hi for the first time while browsing some clips related to JoJo franchise on YouTube. Many JoJo fans seemed to enjoy his reaction vids. I am not a fan of this type of videos and I didn't watch a lot of his reactions. But from all his videos I managed to see, however there were only few of them, he seemed like a cool and positive guy that you would easily befriend with. It's sad that he died, especially when - from what I read several minutes ago - he suffered from a mental illness and it was quite visible in his previous videos as well and the last one was definitely a goodbye letter. Bear in mind I haven't seen those vids apart from his last video, therefore I base my thoughts on what his fans wrote on the Internet. It's a shame that another human decided to end his life by committing suicide. What's even more trwgic is that his kind of behaviour happens more and more often in our modern world. |
Press F to pay respects |

| Never liked reaction videos. I think they're stupid, so it's not a surprise I've never heard of the guy. This generation hates on religion, but it gives some people dealing with depression a way of coping with issues. |

While it may it's necisarilly the case because it can be shakey ground or actually make someone feel worse. Why you see lower suicides in some religions is because the social support from being in a church as one factor. That can be done in means other than just religion. |

Yeah, social support is great, but so is the spirituality. It gives people meaning beyond material things. Belief in a higher power grounds some people. |

deg said: SpamuraiSensei said: Yeah, social support is great, but so is the spirituality. It gives people meaning beyond material things. Belief in a higher power grounds some people. spiritual but not religious movement is a better alternative than the cult that is religion Yeah, I agree, but it depends on the religion in it's modern day too. Christianity isn't nearly as bad as it used to be for example. |
| Never got into his content, but he seemed like an all right dude from the few videos I have seen. It's too bad that he didn't accept more help for whatever mental afflictions he was suffering from. I saw his farewell video yesterday, and it was quite something. RIP. |
 |
| Mental illness is no joke... I saw his final video where he asks for an apology as he is literally walking to go kill himself. He is actually aware that he is mentally ill, and yet he shows no interest in getting help, he has accepted his fate and is on a literal death march. It’s very sad, as a human you have to be at rock bottom to even contemplate suicide...and then even lower to actually go through with it. It’s just so sad. |
