I just have to say that the "I told you so" posts and doubt-shaming maybe belong in their own thread and discussion. In this thread they're coming across really distastefully, even though it's obviously really important that we all learn an important lesson from this episode.

RIP. Reach out to someone *today* who you know is struggling with their mental health.

"Doubt-shaming." Is he referring to the people who doubted the sincerity of his suicide note/video?

I'd assume so. The doubters were being some flame ass dumbfucks tho, and deserve to be called out, especially on a site like Era.

The issue isn't really having doubt, its the level of conviction. Anyone with half a brain would see that Etika was struggling to survive and cope with anything.

Right, the term 'doubt-shaming' is perversely hilarious in this context. The guy ended his life, and they're concerned about shaming people who doubted him (many in a very mean-spirited way) literally saying he was going to do that very thing?

Quote

I may have had some less than charitable feelings about the outcome of Etika's multiple breakdowns in the past but I have to imagine that, in retrospect, I think I just projected to distract from the fact that the facilities just failed to take him at all seriously. It is undeniable that he needed help of some kind, especially after the last time he got arrested, and it's frustrating that he was failed to be given that.

Fuck, this is so, so frustrating.

What the hell does this even mean?

"I was a dickhead because the psychiatric hospital didn't do enough."

You wanna know who the real victims are? The people who called him an attention-seeking hoaxer while he floated dead in a river.

Its fine, the era mods are going to wait until that topic falls off the front page then go through it banning people calling out other users for their behaviour in the last topic

e: unless it gets too spicy, obviously, then it will be temporarily shut down while a Productivity Assessment Audit occurs (and people calling out the behaviour of others in the last topic will be banned)

I feel like there is a lot to unpack here: the 24/7 never sleeping streamer culture, the fact that streamers might not be well equipped mentally for fame and that streamers are literally just everyday people with flaws.

Edgy 12 years old kids made it their playground.

Oh there were, multiple in fact. People just decided it was cool to make the threads about themselves or joke about how much of a clown etika was/claimed he was boy who cried wolf rather than discussing how serious this was getting. Almost all of the threads got closed by mods for no good reason. Was a real shit show that looks even worse for this site in hindsight. Especially the one mod who joked about the situation.

This as well, mods kept closing the topics about him. It was really problematic and they should be called out to be more transparent and do better with mental health issues in the future.

Every single person who mocked him should receive a permanent ban. That includes the now ex-mod who posted the gif. People have been banned for much, much less.

Wow a mod said that? That's absolutely cruel. So letdown by this site turning the other way on Etika. There is a mob mentality that some have on here that is sickening.

I don't want to dogpile on people because that isn't the way to go about combating mental health but damn, people need to calm down with what they say. Even poster on poster interactions on here are cruel and cold hearted. It needs to stop.

Because it is sad. He was a decent guy that brought a lot of joy to people, then it became obviously clear he had a precipitous breakdown that wasn't indicative of his normal character at all. But instead of folks making an appeal to his needs or interpreting the bad words he used in the context of his breakdown, they woke-warrior'd the fuck out of him. In his suicide note-video, he mentioned having his life ruined. His life wasn't fucking ruined. He didn't hurt anyone - he wasn't a criminal. He didn't go to Rikers. He didn't do anything that bad. He didn't have to die.

I wonder at what point Epic's continuing endeavors both with their store and with developers directly will influence the way people understand their business - lots of "not social justice warriors" out there who still want to give Epic flack while defending the racist-enabling tactics that Steam regularly employs... it's hilarious to me just how tilted opinions about Epic have changed since they started taking the entirely reasonable route of gathering exclusives under their umbrella. One wonders if games developed using this money will end up exclusive too, but gosh this seems like a pretty decent initiative from a company that's been labelled somehow more evil and anti-consumer than its competitors
