A bit of backround would be nice OP since me and I'm pretty sure a lot of people coming into this thread have no genuine clue what the fuck is going on.
Yeah, who what why.
Just posting a tweet doesn't say shit for those outside of the US/that don't follow them.
Hes a youtube streamer that yells a lot,hes quite popular, taking in 10k views per stream
Tbh his streams were fun to watch
I have no idea whats going on in this video but it's sad to see him go through all of this shit
Etika is a streamer known for his overblown reactions to game announcements.
The name is a typo, it was supposed to say Etika. He's a Youtuber/Streamer who got large due to his Smash bros reactions and has a history of questionable activity
No idea who this is either, but lmao.

btw, this is Etika

He had multiple meltdowns over the past year, deleted his channel twice by posting porn and tweeting about suicide and various nonsense, making his irl friends stressed and worried, then waving it off as a 4d joke. I was never a fan of him, but multiple people that were fans of him had it enough, making him lost over 3k followers on twitter on the past weeks.

Ah shit, just peeped this video before seeing this thread too...

Etika is really weird, half of his breakdowns and shit are fake the other half are disastrous
Did he get swatted or what
hes been saying some crazy shit on twitter past 3 days or so, apparently cops were called for a health check or something and when he started doing the things seen in his video they broke in.
i only know of etika through ytp

I don't enjoy how some folks in this video are encouraging his destructive breakdown, While he lost me by the time he started breaking his stuff. I hope he finds his help because there's not much left when even one of his closest friends can't do anything for him.
For his sake, I hope we don't head from his for a while. He's clearly a threat to himself and potentially others, and need some serious help, preferably away from any form of social media.
looks like a nonce to me
I hope he gets help. I had to do a (fortunately just intensive outpatient) stint at a psych-ward in 2017 for suicidal tendencies and it helped me get my life back on track, so here's hoping he can receive similar care. That said, his issue seems to be bi-polar mania while mine was severe depression/autism, but my mom's bi-polar so I have a slight idea of what he's going through, and I imagine he's currently having a massive anxiety attack. I'm glad they were able to deescalate the situation, because going in with a full SWAT team just for a wellness check sounded like overkill and that could've easily ended very badly; I've seen how Etika gets since I enjoy his reaction vids, and "hyperactive muscular black guy" could be a massive neon "PLEASE SHOOT ME" sign to the wrong cop, especially if he's currently going through a panic attack. His latest tweets are heartbreaking to read.
Honestly I thought the first time when he got his OG channel shut down was a bad ARG he was trying to do, but seeing this happen to him is really surprising. Hopefully he actually gets the help he needs.
One of the saddest parts is he ended up pushing away a close friend of his during all this. Sky Williams was pouring his heart out trying to reach out to him but Etika kept giving cryptic replies and Sky just had to put his hands up and hope for the best.
I really hope Etika can come back from this, or at least make amends with people
It seems like he has BPD or something else that causes occasional mania.
I have to say, this kinda stuff used to be a lot funnier before I knew people personally who either have similar mental health issues, or who have family members suffering from them.
It's either a welfare check from a bad breakup or he swatted himself.
If it's alright here's one article that I found talking about the situation. Also this is my first time posting an article in SH so if i'm doing something wrong then sorry.

On Monday, the YouTuber with more than 200,000 Twitter followers went back to his account. He has posted hundreds of times, sharing that he is a “god”, saying “he fears nothing” and sharing a photoshopped image of him holding up a gun. In a quickly deleted tweet, Etika wrote “fuck the jews” angering his already confused fan base. These cryptic and hateful messages are impossible to decipher, with many fans online questioning his motives and mental wellness. There are more than 66,000 tweets about Etika posted today from fans who are considered for the content creator, making him trending on the site.
He doxxed himself on Instagram.
He posted his home address and phone number. There's delusions, there's mental breakdowns, and then there's... this. It's both lucidly self destructive and completely unpredictable simultaneously
Sounds like he has some personal shit to work out. I find it odd when people try to publicize their own personal drama.
That's mania ™️
