I really don't understand the outpour of sympathy in the thread. E.g:

The site excels at cultivating self-hatred in others.

There are lots of posts that seem to weigh up how earned his outcome was. If he hadn't killed himself now he would have doubtlessly gone on to do further exceptional shit, in fact, this whole event had already been characterised as suicide baiting.
The only difference I'm seeing commonly is the term "mentally ill" getting bandied about. People who are suicide baiting are already mentally ill for starters. Mental health itself is simply a model of symptoms anyway. There's no single state of 'health' so much as there is function and dysfunction within the context of a person's situation. By this definition every thread is on someone with mental health issues. The mental disorders are not causal like in the medical model, that's why it's so complicated. You don't catch depression you are in a state of depression.

Why give him a pass and not others? That's some bent ass logic. I really dislike the whole "don't talk bad of the dead" thing. Here and elsewhere people where happy to laugh at him up until the point that he jumped and now everyone is getting bashful.
Pick a lane. Either it was funny or not. Back pedalling when shit gets real is dumb
It's sanctimonious to go from laughing at some other loser ruining their life non-fatally to then extol the virtues of a robust mental health system because some shizo jumped off a bridge.

We've discussed this a few pages ago. Mental illness has been long-recurring though human history but it wasn't until recently that we're learning more on dealing with it. That, and human culture and society is largely ill-equipped all around with dealing with these cases.

Seriously, what's with the moralfagging? It's just a dead nigga. Etika was just another hyperactive black dude who couldn't get a grip on his own mental issues and wouldn't accept help, that's his own fucking fault. Who cares about the rest.

In the immortal words of Dedika, "Don't be a bitch nigga."

I show no sorrow for people who commit suicide. They're selfish bastards who put massive scars and pain on their family. What I am glad about is the fact he pulled through instead of just whining like a pussy.

I didn't expect the reaction people had in this thread either, but that does not mean they shouldn't be able to express their condolences. Just like how we're allowed to make memes and joke about his death, we're allowed to be sorta sad about it too.

The guy died today. Maybe if the thread isn't locked for long enough, you'll see everyone's viewpoint drastically change. You can't be that mad that people feel down over a nigga committing suicide.

Which is wrong. Mental health doesn't occur or recur. Every individual is in a state of wellness and dysfunction. What you're calling mental health is a pretty name for certain commonly dysfunctional factors in modern society.
Hearing voices back in the day was connecting with the spirits or being a holy saint after all. Psychologically speaking, context is everything. It's why atheiests aren't allowed to call people who believe in religion mentally ill. Definitionally as long as a large, sustainable, group of people can act in a certain way, that way isn't considered dysfunctional or an illness.
If the DSM was to diagnose people who acted like cunts with asshole disorder they wouldn't be infected with mental illness all of a sudden.

That's literally all I did was meme and joke. And everyone lost their shit because "muh mental health."

Didja happen to notice the only people who seem mad are calling everyone else mad?

This is KF. We ain't new to projection here.

You cared enough to chime in, but honestly I didn't expect anyone to care. If you'd read what I said, you'd know that I understand I'm not going to change anyone's mind. But I can say what I want, when I want, up until I break a forum rule and get banned, so keep screaming, little bird, and I will continue to speak my mind when I feel like it.

Come on, you're pissing off at a single statement on a discussion that'd better be suited for Deep Thoughts anyways.
 
Honestly, I feel more bad about his mother and father than for Etika himself. They lost two sons in one decade, whereas most people die before their own children. She'll probably be mentally scarred for the duration of the twilight of her life, which is something no good person should go through. Etika, however, pretty much pushed away everyone that could have helped him: his ex-gf, his friends and his family all for e-fame. I'm not callous enough to wish that he'd die or saying it even is entirely his fault (Lord knows you aren't thinking straight when you're mentally ill), but considering that he had either manic depression or manic disorder, that was a recipe for disaster from the get-go.
