He's back on twitter.
I'm just waiting for him to kill himself tbh.
Don't you think him getting help would be a better solution? I mean, regardless of what he has done if he is known to be a suicide risk he should be institutionalized.
Look at the replies to his tweets, dude. He's absolutely having a psychological breakdown and everyone can see it. No one is going to take a look at this and get brainwashed. He needs serious professional help, not to be told "shut up, attention whore".
Yeah this definately looks like mania, hopefully someone can help him get help.
Person: *Suffers from mental illness*
You: "Just kill urself lol"
"When I first realized that he had mental health issues, I felt bad for him. But now that he hasn't magically gotten better, I hope he dies or 'goes away' somehow."
isn't not like anyone can just find the incident location based of the videos today though, shit would actually take three minutes to find
Fortunately there's treatments for mania with good rates of success so it could very well end normally.
The worst I see are people going with him and talking about"the revolution" and basically enabling him and it's pretty frustrating to see because he's clearly not well but they treat it like it's some elaborate shitpost
Oh I 100% think him getting help would be better, but he's not listening to anyone. TheAlicePika, Sky Williams, all of his friends have tried. He's been sent to a institution twice already and now the cops have taken him. He's chased off everyone that loves him and I can't expect people to dedicate their lives to someone who doesn't want to change. That's not fair. And when they're getting drowned out by clowns that are going "YES ETIKA YOU ARE A GOD KEEP BELIEVING IT" it's like shit, this isn't going to stop until he's done something more drastic than swatting himself.
No, that's the sad thing. You're wrong.

If you look at Etika's page he's getting a lot of support and there's shit just like this. People are changing their handles, making excuses for his behavior saying it's all a ARG and that they trust that their favorite youtuber/streamer is just doing a epic prank when he's not. I really don't like the idea of even a small handful of people trying to mimic him just to get his approval.
I literally didn't say this. Don't be a fucking moron.
I said that with how bad things have gotten and with all the encouragement to get even stupider I don't see him backing down or wanting to get the help to stop this. I'm saying that if something happened I wouldn't be surprised. That's it.
I want him to go away from social media. I want him to get offline and away from people that enable him. He clearly doesn't give a fuck about the people that care about him as he's blocking everyone that shows a iota of concern while soaking in all the comments telling him to go crazy. He needs to get away from that because he is doing this for attention. He's literally posting about how he gets to trending so easily. It's not helping him at all.
There are which is why I was concerned for his health for awhile. TheAlicePika, Sky, Shofu, literally all his friends got his back in October of last year and helped calm people down while getting him checked in. He came back and after a couple months decided that he needed to do this again. This time TAP, Sky and a few others just voiced concern saying no this isn't actually normal and got him checked in. Etika didn't want to stay the entire month long duration so he left after a week because he didn't WANT help. This man does not WANT to be helped which is hard to hear. He, from reports, got physically abusive with his EX which made her give up, told Sky to fuck off and blocked him, and got rid of the rest of his network of real ass friends before doxxing himself and getting arrested (only to come out fine a few hours later where he instantly got back on his bullshit).
Who's left to take a dive to send him to a place that can help him? He's literally disconnected himself from everyone that wanted to try. Etika has made it a very clear point that he doesn't think that it's not normal and that he loves the attention it brings him.
-------------------------
I'll stand by my original point but reword it to be more clear. I do not care about Etika's content but I had hoped he had got the help he needed because really- he needs it. But he has isolated himself completely, alienated everyone that cares and is now running to people like Keemstar because he wants as much attention as possible on himself. If there's a way that he can get locked up for the full month (or honestly more at this rate) and get the help he needs I'm for it- but as it is right now I don't see a healthy way of coming back from this. The Etika people loved is gone and I hate that he has a real ass influence on a younger audience that see this as nothing more than a game.
I wish there was a way to keep him off the net for a good long while so he stops attention seeking and gets actual help but I don't think that's going to be the case. He's going to keep pushing to see how far he can go, make more suicide tweets and photoshop himself with more guns. He's going to keep breaking down because he can't step away unless he's forced.
I am mad but this situation is outright tragic for multiple reasons.
I have no idea why people find these streamer remotely interesting
He fucking fistfought a cop today.

If you’re wondering how embarrassingly bad the US mental healthcare system is, they keep releasing him after a day because he allegedly is in no danger to himself or others.
despite him very, very obviously showing constant aggression during these periods, and being completely and utterly disengaged with reality
I'm pretty sure it's been 5 times now in total that this has happened.
it's really sad tbh.
Etika's twitter over the past 2 days is nothing but ramblings of a madman. It's like someone whose long lost coherent thought trying to convey things to speech. You can physically read someone losing their mind.
I'm not saying he doesn't have BPD, just want to note that it seems like a very bad case of BPD that requires immediate attention from mental health professionals and i say that as a diagnosed BPD individual who used to have meltdowns and threatening suicide among other stuff to friends, in my bad days.
Apparently people are claiming he punched a cop in the middle of his apprehension?
dunno if the removed video above was the footage of him punching the cop but here it is anyways, scream warning

A person in the throws of extreme mania has very little control over their actions and they're not likely to listen to anyone trying to help them because they feel excellent and mania tends to boost a person's ego. Calling him out for all this shit is like calling out a Schizophrenic for being delusional.
Look at all these assholes encouraging him
Right. My underlining point is that TAP, one of the last remaining people that wanted anything to do with him said "this isn't my job I'm out" just leaves me wondering *who* can actually help him. Relatively speaking before he attacked a cop all he had left were people calling him a clown, or people telling him to go crazier in a echo chamber.
There wasn't anyone left to try and help him. That's why I flat out said "Hey do you think him reading a million "get help" comments is going to do anything?" It's not me trying to be mean- it's just me saying that he's not going to listen. He needs to stay off social media where he can use his past popularity to keep feeding his mania. He's so goddamn lucky that him attacking a officer didn't end even worse for him as it's what I've been trying to say in "I wouldn't be surprised if something bad happens to him".

I thought he had a mandatory 72 hour stay?
He's apparently getting out right about now
Why the fuck does he keep getting out early?

Poor guy needs some anti-psychotics stat.

🦀Etika might be in a cult🦀
real shit though holy fuck i hope he finally gets the help he desperately needs. It sucks to see him go through this.
from smash bro trailer reactions to this, can't say I would have seen it coming.
Let me explain how things go:
Are you suicidal? Yes? Okay, you can go.
Actually attempted suicide - stay in the hospital inpatient for a week, no psychiatrist or mental health checkup and discharged.
When you actually get into a psychward and insurance refuses to pay for more then 5 days - haha. Bye. Oh and further hospitalizations insurance also refuses to cover a psych ward so the hospital lets you go.
Do you have a plan? Yes, but no guns - bye.
People think getting involuntarily committed is easy. It's actually really hard to get involuntarily. As a minor they'll 5150/5250 your ass in a heartbeat because of the legal ramifications but as an adult good luck.
Essentially, this guy could be batshit insane. But if he refuses to go in voluntarily then it would require a 5150/5250 and good luck with that.
