YouTuber Etika terminates his channel on purpose

[smileyhead]

A little while ago Etika (Desmond Amofah) got restricted on Twitter for using the n-word in a tweet of his. He has been working to get his account permanently deleted by posting pornography and succeeded. He posted a goodbye on Reddit:

And now, it's my turn to die. I love you all. Keep fighting for me, ok? I'll miss yall :* make the world better for your own kids, and REMEMBER TO STARGAZE. These last 6 years have been an HONOR.

Here is a full description of the story by Reddit user T_alsomeGames:

Leading up to this, his twitter was soft banned for using the word "n****" (alledgedly). A word he is know for using in a positive and friendly way. Everyone was pretty angry, including Etika. About 3 or 4 hours ago, He started going on weird, cryptic rants. Porn videos were posted to his Youtube channel and then the channel was subsequently shut down. Then he makes one more reddit post that hints at suicide or serious self harm. After that, radio silence.

Before a few hours ago, Etika was his usual happy and passionate self. Currently everyone wants an explanation, but I have a feeling were not gonna get anything until tommorow.

Edit: It's also the 8th anniversary of his brothers death. Make of that what you will.

Etika also posted this to his Facebook:

There are currently no news on the situation.

So he comité suicide ?, man I fell bad for him... I was like him so long time ago about 10 years but i grow stronger.i hope he wouldn’t do any stupid thing like suicide.

 

[SG854]

I'll keep watch. Interested on what happens next.

"My new self" Sounds like Yousef. Or Rose or whatever. Are all the popular minority YouTubers about to have a metamorphosis of deleting their videos and having an identity crisis?

 

[Bladexdsl]

so a butthurt youtuber rage quits. yeah so no loss

 

[dimmidice]

Sounds less like suicide more like moving on.

 

[ROMANREIGNS599]

As if we don't care

 

[WiikeyHacker]

I always thought he was too fake anyway good riddance.

 

[focusonme]

no loss, he is a good actor nothing more

 

[WiikeyHacker]

Actor you call that hack an actor? my university improv group has more talent than that faker.

 

[Clydefrosch]

So he did something stupid got angry about the consequences and is trying to turn drama into advertisement for the new name?

 

[WiikeyHacker]

looks like it

Been following for a month a long time ago, stopped and I can see why most people don’t like him. He loves to make dramas like this. His live-streams is painful to watch too. He basically does reaction videos and play games on his streams and people donate to him massive amounts of money. He also rejects requests that people actually donates and gets drunk a lot. No loss indeed. He might think he is special on YouTube but he is no different than the other Youtubers that starts dramas.

Not the best choice of words, but still too much drama to say otherwise...

 

[WiikeyHacker]

i said it before and i'll say it again good riddance, the guy was too fake He was asking for it karmas a bitch but rewarding at times. Now back to my bowsette and ugandan knuckles collab sprite animations.

"A word he is know for using in a positive and friendly way"

It's ok when one person does it (we all know why but we can't say why because that's racist too, just like everything else is nowadays) but it's not ok when someone else does
- the year 201x and beyond

Good to see some consistency in consequences for once, I suppose.

 

[migles]

who's he?
never heard of him before.

 

[WiikeyHacker]

who's he?
never heard of him before.

good way to think, but if you really don't know he was a youtuber that was full of fake reactions and threw the n word out more than feminists getting "triggered" for attention over the stupidest of things.

 

[Minox]

Who? Never heard of him before this day.

Hooo boy, he came back, did a stream and proceeded to fellate his donators, business as usual. Unbelievable.
Pretty much confirms that this was all a fucking setup, what with his ex acting up and him "forced" into a mental hospital and dogshit explanation stream.
He used to be pretty alright a year or so ago. Then the donations made him lose his mind or whatever. Fucking moron
