Going back on etikas highlights and reactions it's so unreal that he is gone it makes me sad I feel like I'm still waiting for the next smash dlc reaction but knowing he is gone hurts hurts my heart
What makes me pissed off so much about this situation is that the ones who literally egged him on and poked fun at his mental issues are the exact ones that are crying on Twitter and RU-vid about how great he was. No one ever knows the weight of their words until they see how it effects another.
The beginning of this video made me respect etika so much. Especially when he told his viewers not to mess with that website. Etika a real one. You already know I don't need to state it for you people to know.
etika was a very genuine, nice person. im so sad right now that he expressed soo much in this stream to tell everyone to make sure to mentally make sure everyone is alright but never took the time to take care of his own self. RIP etika man, shits crazy. :( ✊🏽
this was one of the first streams i discovered etika on still cant believe he died so young, cried for 30 minutes when i heard about it yesterday and i never even met the guy.
etika was such a good streamer dude, i wasn't around on youtube when he was around but watching his older stuff definitely has shown me that there's almost nobody comparable today and if he were still around he'd be a beacon of positivity in what feels like now a bleaker streaming space. He was a true legend, rest in peace.
I had something happen similar to what happened to Etika. I was on the train and all of a sudden we felt a bump. The train suddenly stopped at the next station and I heard a woman's screams. I walked out of the train and saw her body stuck between the tracks. I was terrified that day. Apparently she tried to commit suicide but failed. I heard that she is disabled now.
Yeah, these two comments got the gist of it. There isn't much else to say other than that. Edit: The main chat is shit, but the sponsor chat is way better.
That's cuz the spons chat is filled with people who are willing to spend money and are probably adults with money to spend. Not saying that those adults without money to spend isn't mature or those who donate either. But usually if you have money to spend then you should be somewhat mature about some things
Skogboy I’ve been feeling that way too. He just had a great vibe, I miss this dude 😭😭😭😭i wasn’t a regular viewer of his vids, but I’d binge watch his deep web content. I can’t believe how much his death affected my mood lately. Smh. I’ll always watch his existing vids tho. Us joycons will heal from this, homie.
I just read the last words of someone who was falsely sentenced. Wow. "This is my statement: My final words. First, I want to thank my family for believing in me and being there with me till the end. I love you all very much! And I know that you love me too! Life does go on. Next, I would like to also thank my attorney’s Maurie Levin, Alicia Amezcua Rodriguez and Sandra Babcock for all their hard work they have done to help me out. I am so thankful. I would also like to thank the Mexican Consul for all their help too, and every government official that was trying to help me out too. Thank you Maricela Luna and Julia Thimm for being such good friends! Now! I will not and cannot apologize for someone else’s crime, but, I will be back for justice! You can count on that! Thank you. With Respect Ruben Cardenas" damn dude. god bless.
no one... not a single streamer... can replace this man. he’s one of a kind, the way he interacted with his community was one of a kind, the way he understood his viewers and interacted with them was one of a kind. honestly, hes a fucking legend and i cannot see anybody doing it like he did anytime soon
I find myself coming back to Etika's old streams every once in a while. All it does is remind me how much of a cool guy he was, and then it sinks in that no one will ever fill that void on RU-vid again. I miss Etika, man.
yeah man, even back when i was 9 years old, i witnessed the death of my four year old cousin, he crossed the street and was ran over by a car at full speed. May he rest in peace.
just a very intelligent individual. extremely sharp and thoughtful human being. can't you just tell by the way he enunciates and speaks ? I miss his content so badly
This is so weird to see. I wasn't a fan of Etika before his death, and I didnt know much about streaming then either. But since his passing, I'd heard a lot about him, and watching his videos/streams and becoming a fan now, its surreal. Thinking about it now even in the future, its so fucking sad, that he really is gone. He was such a genuine, kind, person. I wish I knew of him before he passed away. R.I.P Etika, everyone loves you.
I wasn’t a fan but I watched his reaction vids occasionally because I enjoyed his personality. It’s always a strange feeling when someone passes away. Tbh all I feel is anger and sadness from his passing because I know a lot of people loved him, including my brother who was a fan of Etika.
In my opinion death sentence is only for psychopaths who doesn’t have any guilt for committing horrible crimes. Those with guilt should be locked up behind bars, atoning for their horrible crimes until they slowly rot and go insane with infinite amount of guilt. They deserve slow suffering instead of dying early.
For anyone sad about these clips, don't be sad, it's best to remember someone with happy memories. Don't be sad because he's gone, be happy for the memories and lessons he's left us with. 1:39
"disgusting." Lmao get off our high horse. Guarantee you made worse jokes than that. 1. It's the internet and 2. Most of Etikas fans were kids. What do you expect? Maturity? On the internet? LMAO
Every time I come back to Etika's old highlights and streams, as painful as it might be, it reminds me how great of a person is. I hope he's doing okay up there and I hope Cobi can get the help he needs right now.
I heard of Etika after his passing from some elites in the Smash community. I wish I found him sooner because he was something special. I've been watching all of his videos posted by fans and I can relate to him like he's an old friend. He put so much positivity and hype energy into all of his streams despite battling depression. This guy is a hero in every sense of the word. Rest easy my new friend.
35:33 etika mentions just complying cops being subservient, yet he did the exact opposite I feel like since he got blocked on twitter and his channel got deleted around October 2018 he went on a downwards spiral from there, here he looks and seems sane. He went insane following that, following all the shit that happened, following his mental breakdown. And the way no one had his back when he broke down, people ridiculed him called him a attention seeker and no one helped the situation. They made him feel alone like he had no one. And I believe that’s what caused his condition to become worse.
Thomas Degenhardt No one said you can’t, but everyone should learn how important mental health and support is from what happened. His fans weren’t there for him, no one was. That’s why it all went down.
...You're referring to when he was not in his right mind. Knowing what he believed about cops and he assaulted a cop days before he passed. Does no one find that strange? Was that not a red flag? Nothing about this seemed like a publicity stunt. It was and is disturbing how everyone brushed it off as attention seeking behavior because everyone forgot he was a human being.
The thing is, you work hard to get noticed, you build something and there is a connection between the streamer and chat or followers on social media. Due to numerous reasons you fck up, get hacked or make poor decisions and boom the door closes - one after the other opportunity is shut down. There are not many plattforms to reach out to an audience, yt, insta, twitch, fb for streams and twitter & reddit for shout outs, that's about it and even if you don't manage to ruin it yourself there is a ton of do's and don'ts... you have to abide by the rules to make cash. A lot of sucking up to do if you want to stay ahead. Even if you're not suicidal at all it's a hard game to play. If you're in it for a considerable time it's hard to see the lines between reality and virtuality. All I want to say is that the environment is quite toxic on it's own, you add mental issues to the mix it's not hard to see the outcome.

At least he apologized.(the criminal) I'm glad to see Etika be level headed about this police scenario. I'm glad he's not being like "Cops are bad" So thank you for that Etika. I guess that was discrimation....to an asian victim.
I only started watching Etika yesterday. I already understand how amazing he was. I have to remind myself that he is no longer with us. He had so much energy and he seemed really sweet. All my love to his family and have fun in gamer heaven Etika❤
Just listening to all his life experiences and personal history is sad. He had so much behind him and even more ahead, and he'll never get to see it through now. Rest in peace.
Man, for the kind of stuff he streams, the chat is really bad... though it is the internet so sadly I'm not surprised. I just wish there was more respect because this is real stuff. It's not like creepypasta or hoaxes where you could joke about it no problem :/
A few nights ago I realise how much I loved this guy. I just layed in my bed and cried. He was the type of person who felt so connected to the viewer that you felt like you knew him personally. I miss him.
2 years later im re watching all his clips i really miss him he brought so much joy to us and i loved chilling with him he truly felt like a friend i never met
i wish he was still here to this day he would be the best streamer during this quarantine rn. i only just started watching him before he passed away and i just wish i could see more but im glad these clips exist.
I've been rewatching his streams and honestly I miss him I used to tune in time to time and watch and the part when he said "future family" it hit me pretty hard and i know many could say the same fly high Desmond we love you
R.I.P Bro,the amount of respect you showed in this people to the victims of the people who went through these horrible things was amazing. I hope your doing well up there.
The channel may be gone, and even though we got to know Etika and we didn't know about Desmond. We should keep and treasure these clips, as a sort of reminder of who he was.
I never watched Etika until his recent infamy and untimely death and now I'm can't stop binge watching his content! I'm deeply touched and saddened by his death as the circumstances surrounding his passing are very relatable to me. His energy and persona seemed to be very genuine. Can't believe someone so talented and bright is gone at such a young age
R B J What? If someone held a gun up to the police, would they shoot the gun or the person? The person, obviously. Any policeman in any place in the world would do the same thing. Please do a little research and understand how the law works.
My dad saw someone die too, a horrible car accident the poor guy „flew“ my dad said and you could hear the bones breaking, when he hit the ground he had nearly everything broken, his eye was out his arms and legs was broken and his body was so hot they was lightly smoke coming from his clothes(sorry for my bad English) And rip Etika u were awesome it breaks my heart that u are gone I wish I would have watched u more back then
