I'm late I know, but I just heard that he's dead. For serious. I can't believe this is really happening...

... I think I'll just go outside to try to clear my mind. This is an terrible event, and I can't believe it was not an bait this time...

All I can only say is, may he rest in peace. I give him, and his family my full condolences. I can't donate to his family or something, but the least I can only offer in this dark time, is some light and some of my condolences.

Also Null, I think you need to update the alert/stats on the main page (where there are subforums) to show that he's dead. I think peoples need to know this sad news.

The only brother I know he had died back in 2010. I don't think he ever said what it was besides " he did something stupid" but it definitely got to him. A lot of people think it was suicide too. Feel absolutely terrible for their parents if it's true, to have kids die before you is rough, but both of them committing suicide has got to be the worst feeling in the world.

Edit: He does have 2 brothers. The younger one is still alive, and the older brother is Randy Amofah who is the one who died in 2010

Picture of Etika talking about it in 2015 and how it still gets to him.

Jesus, his poor mom. Also, I have a brother, and I can only imagine what it would do to me if something happened to him. At least now, they may finally see each other again. I just hope his mother has the strength to go on and doesn't torture herself over it any more than she can avoid.

Same can be said for any tragedy the media drums up and forces you to look at and feel bad about. People, entire countries' worth of people, are dying unimaginable cruel, horrible deaths every single day. Why should I harbor emotional feelings for particular cases being presented to me? Because the media tells me to? I think not.

never gave a damn about the guy or his content but he was too young. U.S. mental health care is a joke, but he fell off the deep end too quickly. being an online personality didn't seem to help his case either (well.. when does it ever). so, RIP

I clocked out of work at the right time, exactly when the news broke. On one hand, I'm sure he'd laugh at the memes about his death. But on the other, the people who are genuinley being disrespectful like KPop "Stans" or whatever they call it nowadays try to make it about them like always when someone notable dies, are the reason I feel the farms is way better than most of the cretins on the internet. Probably one of the shortest ongoing threads this year, but I feel that having all the eyes on him got to his head. I'm guessing he thought he could take the fame but realized it was too much and found out too late he'll never be Desmond ever again, and wanted to get away from both that and Etika for good.

The mind works in mysterious ways.

So where is the money going to now?
Both his streamlab donation sites (archived, 1 and 2) are still up, his first acct's YouTube Gaming membership service went unfulfilled for a lot of people after he sperged and pulled the whole bullshit ARG excuse last year.

From what I recall he was pretty strapped for cash and a charge-back about two years ago set him on quite the tirade. I remember watching another unrelated stream at the time when some dinklings of his started spazzing out in chat over this stuff.

Was he in any form of debt at all? From what I gather from what I've gleaned here and there, he was at least a little irresponsible with his money, and for quite some time he was making some effort to move out from his mother's. Several streams he cited the excuse being "too noisy for his neighbors" for moving out but my memory's really not that good.

The thing that makes this so fucked up to me is that he genuinely couldn't see himself as finding happiness anymore. The worst thing he did in life that we know of was acting insane when his mental illness took over, and he wasn't able to lock that inside of him. That shit doesn't make a person deserve death, the bastard just needed someone who could help him. I can only imagine the self hatred he felt that could push him to actually end it. It was a worst case scenario for seeking help, too, since he couldn't "be real" about it publicly without being seen as just a clown pulling a bad joke or trying to manipulate fans. I hope he finds the peace of mind in heaven he couldn't on Earth.
