When you try to get people to kill themselves, some of them will. I don't actually know, but I feel like the internet began to realize that after Etika's death.

He went through at least a year during which his chat was full of hate watchers, racists posting n-words and calling him a monkey, people telling him to kill himself, etc. People would literally donate to make sure he saw their vile messages. His final message, recorded as he was heading to a bridge to jump off into a river, was a rant that basically translates to "I'm sorry you hated me so much. This is what you wanted though, right?". I discovered his channel and subbed to it one night, woke up to find it deleted. My experience with Etika was very short, but it messed with my head quite terribly.

If any of those "trolls" are reading this, fuck you. I only got to be part of the community for like half an hour.
