Etika was one of the few people in the community to come to me and be genuine in all my years, I really wish I could have had that beer with him at some point but life gets in the way. This is a void that will always remain empty and at the end of the day we have to learn to move on. We will keep this man's memory going to the end of time if we can. If any of you have thoughts of ending it all because things get too tough please reach out to your local Suicide Hotline/Mental Health centre and seek professional help because you are worth it.
Etika helped a lot of us in the community and nobody really gets that. He made sure his fans had what they wanted and that they were happy and when he became the way he was some of the dipshits acted like this was a joke. This man has made me feel happy and stopped my depression for a while and I know at least he did what his heart desires. If this comment hurts any of you let me know. I'll take it down if it comes to it. Until then, Etika will forever rest in peace alongside the other Internet Calebrities we have lost. Don't let this encourage you to harm yourself. Get the help you need and deserve. You are worth all are time. Trust me. Trust the entire community. We are here for you no matter what. Rest In Peace brother.

@YT PickleBeater Alright stop harassing jaystatiok and others for profiting off Etika's death. Did you already forgot why Etika oofed himself? Because he was getting harassed on social media. So if someone does clickbait with Etika, don't start bullying them, as they might get depressed and do the same thing Etika did. YES, is IS wrong to profit off Etika's death, but it's not a reason to make someone else take his own. Depression is no joke.

His last video really broke my heart. He was talking about all this stuff he wouldn't get to see and I wish with all my might I could pass through time and space and tell him YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO THIS! I might not know exactly what he was going through, but my mind has been in really bad places. The reason I'm able to hold on is because those bad moments eventually pass. We all go through shit and yeah people on social media/internet can be awful, but most of the drama will pass. Even if you are feeling you're at rock bottom and that things will never get better.... it will pass. Believe me. I've been there. There were times I thought there is no way life will get better and I felt everyone in the world hated me... but it passes. You're never alone. Thousands of people... people you've never met... they are feeling the same way. Even if you feel you have no one, just hold on to the good things in your life, even if it's looking forward to cool new games and technology. Death is a permanent solution to temporary problems. Yeah, life really sucks sometimes and it kicks you while you're down but there are so many good things to hold on to as well. RIP Etika, I'm so sorry that you felt this was the only way out. You will be missed and you will never be forgotten.
some wise words. there's this german song from rio reiser titled 'wenn die nacht am tiefsten, ist der tag am nächsten' which roughly translates to 'in the darkest night, daylight is nearest'. keeping that in mind helped me soo much in my darkest hours. bad times are unavoidable, but there will be better (and good) times. thats also unavoidable.. but maybe you forgot about that and now one is reminding you. well, who ever you are im here to tell you; please hang in there! ..after the rain comes sun..
Rip etika 🙏 😞, we are not joycon bois but joycon men we shall remember his death as joycon men. Etika brought joy and entertainment to the community he will be missed.
call of duty sucks there is only one unforgivable sin, and suicide ain’t it, so as long as he asks god for forgiveness, he’s up there with the best of ‘em.
Yeah. Although I didn't watch his content, the videos of his that I did see were really funny. That was like 3 years ago. 3 years ago and he didn't seem like the type to be struggling with a mental illness. So I saw a post on a discord server saying RIP Etika and I didn't believe he died. I looked it up and numerous articles were talking about his death. I was really heartbroken. I feel like I should've kept watching his content.
@@protix9880 Dude, anybody else in the world may die and I don't feel sad... But Etika, dude. I just thought on how this spiralled down to this moment. And Muta, I knew he was going to be sad to hear this after discussing yesterday in his stream about not wanting to talk about the topic and just play games and have a good time.
@@andrerey29 i know that anybody can die in this world, and i know that we will all die in the end and humanity will perish someday, but it was too hard to accept etika's death, i legit watched the dude for 4 years now, i hope he is in a better place now
In a few years, he's going to be in crappy "Top 10 RUclipsrs Who Died" type of compilation videos uploaded by people who didn't know him until after he died.
Hopefully nintendo do something as a tribute to him, even just a piece of dialogue. Etika and the joyconboyz were a big portion of the nintendo community
I've never personally watched him, but I'm sad. He sounds like he was an amazing person who didn't deserve what happened to him and to be driven to suicide its a tragedy. R.I.P. Etika
I remember finding etika for the first time,, it was a video he did on the teletubby game.. i laughed so hard from his reaction from playing the game. I couldnt get enough of his channel. I loved how he got so excited over donations and how he loved his fans. Rest in peace brother.
I barely even knew who Etika was. I only really heard of him recently through other channels. And this news really hit me. I feel this weird pressure on my chest, I don't feel like doing the things I like, etc. In his name, I ask for everyone who's ever had suicidal thoughts, or even a mental illness in general, to know that the things you do are huge. It will affect complete strangers. There are people who *don't even know you* who truly want you to live and be happy. Remember Etika, and remember what mental illness can do to genuinely good, enthusiastic people.
This is why i say to people time and time again ... just because one is on the internet ... does not mean they should be allowed to say or do anything they wish without repercussions ... just like in real life ... the fucking ass hats who laughed at him when he was trying to reach out the only way he knew .... should be held accountable for their actions ... the internet is the most sickening place on earth.
i was never a real huge fan i would occasionally get the "Etika stream highlights" in my recommended it would be amazing to see someone so happy over games and it made me happy
Dude that “I’m sorry” video, holy shit. One of the saddest videos I’ve seen in years. I watched his videos from time to time. Not because I was a big fan of what he was covering but because of his personality. Rest In Peace Desmond
This is so sad. I've never followed him closely, but I remember I loved his Undertale let's play. That was the first time I had watched his content. Then I just watched a few random videos. That's why I was very surprised to see he's had a history of mental issues in the past. And now this. RIP, dude. I hope you're in a better place, now.
Etika was my favorite content creator for His genuine reactions and the memes that came from those reactions you will be missed brutha. JoyConBoyz4Life.
i saw the title, looked up "etika", and was floored. my brother especially loved his reactions and i was more than familiar with him. #joyconboyzforever
Desmond made roughly 60-90% of my good memories and he's helped me through my worst of times and fuck, man. The internet is killing it's stars, killing it's life. Desmond will never be forgotten, not in my mind or heart.
I wish this never had happened. May he rest peacefully. There will never be someone like him. I really hope he's in a better place. Joycon Boyz Forever.
Etika was so damn funny and genuine. First heard about him when Persona 5 came out and I've been a casual watcher ever since. Really saddened about his death and may he rest in peace
I have to thank Etika for introducing me to your channel. I remember that deep web live stream were he mentioned you and since then i have been subscribed.
DanielX64 There’s a part of me that hopes this is just some sick fucking hoax. But from the looks of things that isn’t the case. At the end of the day we are only here once, and we can only take every day for what it is
Seeing someone's face not too long ago and then being told that they are dead isn't the easiest thing to think of and it can mess with you. It can give you a numb feeling in your throat.
His "Hise Man" persona had existed since he was still in high school, his earliest videos were him rapping (as IceManEtika) and him playing Pokémon Black and White competitively.
Do you suppose an all loving God would send a person to hell knowing what they were dealing with. I'm not necessarily religious, but I disagree with the two previous statements.
Bailey Quick God is not all loving though. He is an angry, spiteful, and unempathetic god. Whether you like it or not suicide is considered a sin (perhaps the ultimate sin) and damns etikas eternal soul to eternal torture and damnation in the fiery pits of hell. You know, if you believe in that sorta thing.
Devastated man. Been watching him for 5 years, and i was really excited when i saw that the two of you were in contact with each other. Never thought it would end like this. Hoping that he's at least with his brother right now...
It is so suprising that Etika thought suicide was the only option to escape his "edgy" internet persona. I know of one person that escaped that type of situation and that was Joji (Filthy Frank), so I'm shocked that Etika picked such a drastic alternative. RIP Etika, Joyconboys for life. (Edit:) Desmond's goodbye video states how he was pressured by social media to conform to a certain image. He cut off all his close relatives and friends that could of helped him as a result. Watch the goodbye video and you can clearly see what was plaguing Etika's mind. There certainly could be something that was deeply wrong with him/his brain, but this is the only thing that I could see that was wrong with the current evidence. Im sorry if it came off as disrespectful. It wasnt my intention.
He obviously had more issues than the persona. There were things clouding his judgement and preventing him from acting rationally. The logic you used here is not only flawed but so disrespectful
@@MrS22222 you're an asshole, we're all hoping that he is in a good place and you're here talking shit, i'm islamic and in our culture we believe that people who kills themselves go to hell, but i dont believe it, i think etika deserves better
I remember watching Etika when he reacted to Smash 4 music, talking about "Red Robin" and getting excited about him playing Fire Emblem: Awakening. I even managed to catch his Mewtwo Freakout live on stream. It's... surreal, to think that someone who played an important part of my teenage years, was able to make me crack a smile in the privacy of my room, at a time when I myself was so mired down by depression that I had begun contemplating taking my own life, has himself fallen victim to those same thoughts. I will never claim that suicide is the right answer, or that what he did was the right thing. At the same time, I truly understand how it feels to wish you were never born, like nothing matters and happiness will never come, and I have only the utmost sympathy. I pray that, at the end, you were able to find some measure of peace. R.I.P. Desmond, and thank you for everything.
If someone is ever begging for help, don’t mock them for it. Support them and make sure they get the help they so desperately need. R.I.P. it’s a sad day for everyone.
I never really got into Etika really. I just knew him from the memes, and when he died, I felt empty. It felt wrong in a way to see such a person disappear. I then started watching more clips of him, and grew to like him more and more and actually grew fond of him. I continued and watched the videos he made before he died, and just. I couldn't control myself. To see someone like him go. It made me cry, man. It hurt for me even looking at videos of him because it reminded me that someone so positive and vibrant actually had more going on to them than what we all saw. Then I saw videos of people like Jaystation & N&A making those fucking ouija board videos him. It felt fucking disgusting to see such scumbags just defile someone who had way more to him, and spit on his grave like he didn't matter. I hate Jaystation because he reminds me that humans like him exist, who simply just use someone's death for monetary gain. I wish the best for Etika, and the best for everyone that supported him through what he went through. Joycon boyz for life.
I can’t believe this is actually real. He was the reason i got back into smash bros. Why i got into fire emblem, why i got into ARMS (even if he didn’t get into it as much, he still hyped me up for it). I first started watching him in 2014 when Robin and Lucina were revealed for Smash Wii U. Stepped away my second year of college, then started hearing about these meltdowns. Rest easy, Desmond. You’ll be missed dearly and I hope you’re at peace. And for anyone out there who may have suicidal thoughts. Please, PLEASE remember that you are not alone. Call your region’s suicide hotline or reach out to someone you trust; family or friend. There are people out there who care for you.
I logged on to Twitter and when I looked at trending, I actually feel like my heart stopped at that point. I'm going to miss Desmond so much, it's truly hard for me to process this.
This is sad, I barely watched him, but he was clearly a funny dude. I barely watched him, but this is still sad for me, I can't imagine what big fans, and his family are going through. Also, screw that Boogie dude.
@@osuplaeyurreallygood I think he's talking about this. He made a crass joke about Etika. www.google.com/amp/s/dotesports.com/streaming/news/boogie2988-mcjuggernuggets-anger-viewers-with-joke-about-missing-youtuber-etika/amp
Still hits hard. He is my favorite RUclipsr ever. Been going through archives and highlights of him and it's just still insane to me. Almost 5 years and I still struggle to accept it. I don't normally like RUclipsr's like that but he felt like a close friend almost. This shit actually hurts. I hope those people who called him a clown are happy.
I've watched him for about 6 years..I'm so saddened. I've had deaths in the family this week as well, so it just adds to it. RIP Etika you will be missed. I hope your well wherever you are
The first thing I thought was that he may have faked it to get away from all the stuff going on and start a "new life" or something. But now with his confirmed death it's just...I also just can't really believe it, it's so real now but also surreal :/
@@Gluglugfishe i don't want my botha being eaten by "dementors" i reflected i think i want to be like my religion, be nice to everybody but if they choose to be rude they get left outside they can come in when they are ready to be nice the "door" isn't locked it's only closed.

We all go through shit and yeah people on social media/internet can be awful, but most of the drama will pass. Even if you are feeling you're at rock bottom and that things will never get better.... it will pass. Believe me. I've been there. There were times I thought there is no way life will get better and I felt everyone in the world hated me... but it passes.
You're never alone. Thousands of people... people you've never met... they are feeling the same way. Even if you feel you have no one, just hold on to the good things in your life, even if it's looking forward to cool new games and technology.
Death is a permanent solution to temporary problems. Yeah, life really sucks sometimes and it kicks you while you're down but there are so many good things to hold on to as well.
RIP Etika, I'm so sorry that you felt this was the only way out. You will be missed and you will never be forgotten.
When you're in the mire, you cannot see anything, other than a release from the pain...
some wise words.
there's this german song from rio reiser titled
'wenn die nacht am tiefsten, ist der tag am nächsten'
which roughly translates to
'in the darkest night, daylight is nearest'.
keeping that in mind helped me soo much in my darkest hours.
bad times are unavoidable, but there will be better (and good) times. thats also unavoidable..
but maybe you forgot about that and now one is reminding you. well, who ever you are im here to tell you; please hang in there!
..after the rain comes sun..
I appreciate you not monetizing the video. May his soul lay rest.
Rip etika 🙏 😞, we are not joycon bois but joycon men we shall remember his death as joycon men. Etika brought joy and entertainment to the community he will be missed.

Yeah. Although I didn't watch his content, the videos of his that I did see were really funny. That was like 3 years ago. 3 years ago and he didn't seem like the type to be struggling with a mental illness. So I saw a post on a discord server saying RIP Etika and I didn't believe he died.

Etika died 3 years ago today. R.I.P to that legend of a man.
I remember finding etika for the first time,, it was a video he did on the teletubby game.. i laughed so hard from his reaction from playing the game. I couldnt get enough of his channel. I loved how he got so excited over donations and how he loved his fans. Rest in peace brother.
I barely even knew who Etika was. I only really heard of him recently through other channels. And this news really hit me. I feel this weird pressure on my chest, I don't feel like doing the things I like, etc.
In his name, I ask for everyone who's ever had suicidal thoughts, or even a mental illness in general, to know that the things you do are huge. It will affect complete strangers. There are people who *don't even know you* who truly want you to live and be happy.
Remember Etika, and remember what mental illness can do to genuinely good, enthusiastic people.
It's human nature man. We all have a bond no matter if we know each other or not.
He was so full of life and brought so much happiness for so long its so surreal for him to actually be gone now.
@Kreator SATAN dude stfu you think people can't feel bad or mourn over someones death, you look more like the edgy 14 year old here

The internet didn't help by memeing his problems, either.
This is why i say to people time and time again ... just because one is on the internet ... does not mean they should be allowed to say or do anything they wish without repercussions ... just like in real life ... the fucking ass hats who laughed at him when he was trying to reach out the only way he knew .... should be held accountable for their actions ... the internet is the most sickening place on earth.

This is so sad. I've never followed him closely, but I remember I loved his Undertale let's play. That was the first time I had watched his content. Then I just watched a few random videos. That's why I was very surprised to see he's had a history of mental issues in the past. And now this.
RIP, dude. I hope you're in a better place, now.
Etika was my favorite content creator for His genuine reactions and the memes that came from those reactions you will be missed brutha. JoyConBoyz4Life.

When I was a kid, he wasn’t even on RUclips/Twitch yet
Damn
I don’t even think he was “Ice Man,” yet
@Centered probably
His "Hise Man" persona had existed since he was still in high school, his earliest videos were him rapping (as IceManEtika) and him playing Pokémon Black and White competitively.
I hope Etika is in a better place I didn't know him but I really do hope he's in heaven.
Suicide doesn't lead to Heaven
Suicide makes it harder to get to heaven or just straight to hell
Incorrect
Do you suppose an all loving God would send a person to hell knowing what they were dealing with. I'm not necessarily religious, but I disagree with the two previous statements.
Bailey Quick God is not all loving though. He is an angry, spiteful, and unempathetic god. Whether you like it or not suicide is considered a sin (perhaps the ultimate sin) and damns etikas eternal soul to eternal torture and damnation in the fiery pits of hell.
You know, if you believe in that sorta thing.
Devastated man. Been watching him for 5 years, and i was really excited when i saw that the two of you were in contact with each other. Never thought it would end like this. Hoping that he's at least with his brother right now...
It is so suprising that Etika thought suicide was the only option to escape his "edgy" internet persona.
I know of one person that escaped that type of situation and that was Joji (Filthy Frank), so I'm shocked that Etika picked such a drastic alternative.
RIP Etika, Joyconboys for life.
(Edit:)
Desmond's goodbye video states how he was pressured by social media to conform to a certain image.
He cut off all his close relatives and friends that could of helped him as a result.
Watch the goodbye video and you can clearly see what was plaguing Etika's mind. There certainly could be something that was deeply wrong with him/his brain, but this is the only thing that I could see that was wrong with the current evidence.
Im sorry if it came off as disrespectful. It wasnt my intention.
These are the words of a true fan, I appreciate this.
Sometimes dude... Your head doesn't thinks, just acts. And Etika's mental health is testimony of this. He will live long in our hearts.
I truly believe it is time for the JoyconMEN now.
@Ashe Huh
He obviously had more issues than the persona. There were things clouding his judgement and preventing him from acting rationally. The logic you used here is not only flawed but so disrespectful
When I saw on twitter he was found deceased I legit felt my heart jump in my chest, I hope he is doing better in the afterlife.

@@beegyoshiepicgamer3861 don't give him attention, it's what he wants.

I remember watching Etika when he reacted to Smash 4 music, talking about "Red Robin" and getting excited about him playing Fire Emblem: Awakening. I even managed to catch his Mewtwo Freakout live on stream. It's... surreal, to think that someone who played an important part of my teenage years, was able to make me crack a smile in the privacy of my room, at a time when I myself was so mired down by depression that I had begun contemplating taking my own life, has himself fallen victim to those same thoughts.
I will never claim that suicide is the right answer, or that what he did was the right thing. At the same time, I truly understand how it feels to wish you were never born, like nothing matters and happiness will never come, and I have only the utmost sympathy. I pray that, at the end, you were able to find some measure of peace.
R.I.P. Desmond, and thank you for everything.
That mewtwo freak out will always stick with me.
Never really watched him but I wish him a good final rest. May he be remembered as the best he was
If someone is ever begging for help, don’t mock them for it. Support them and make sure they get the help they so desperately need. R.I.P. it’s a sad day for everyone.
Wish Etika could of gotten the help he needed, Rest in peace Etika.
I never really watched Etika, but I saw some clips and I thought he was quite funny. We’re gonna miss you Etika.
I never really got into Etika really. I just knew him from the memes, and when he died, I felt empty. It felt wrong in a way to see such a person disappear.
I then started watching more clips of him, and grew to like him more and more and actually grew fond of him. I continued and watched the videos he made before he died, and just. I couldn't control myself. To see someone like him go.
It made me cry, man. It hurt for me even looking at videos of him because it reminded me that someone so positive and vibrant actually had more going on to them than what we all saw.
Then I saw videos of people like Jaystation & N&A making those fucking ouija board videos him. It felt fucking disgusting to see such scumbags just defile someone who had way more to him, and spit on his grave like he didn't matter. I hate Jaystation because he reminds me that humans like him exist, who simply just use someone's death for monetary gain.
I wish the best for Etika, and the best for everyone that supported him through what he went through. Joycon boyz for life.

I first started watching him in 2014 when Robin and Lucina were revealed for Smash Wii U. Stepped away my second year of college, then started hearing about these meltdowns. Rest easy, Desmond. You’ll be missed dearly and I hope you’re at peace.
