This **** is crazy. I just thought it was Etika being his usual over-hype self, and people were just goin' along with the bit. But to see something on this scale happen is unbelievable.
Apparently he made threatening tweets to trump on twitter too
Honestly, why does this surprise me? Everyone seems to like Etika until now, but I never thought he was the best guy, personally.

I don't think morality has anything to do with whether or not you have mental breakdowns

Wait, what?

I thought he was just trying to ‘cause trouble? Is he ok?
No, he's not. He was in the middle of a genuine mental breakdown, and had to be restrained on his way to the hospital.

They're talking about putting him in a mental institution.

Honestly not liking these Etika memes as the guy's clearly troubled. It's like your making fun of him for it
This seems very general. Plenty of people aren't making memes about it.

Apparently the entirety of Downtown Brooklyn has been shut down due to Etika. On his stream he was talking about a revolution, and started screaming joycon boys while being detained.
This is so surreal to watch
Another update, he's being taken to the hospital
This has escalated incredibly fast.

Goodness, I really hope he’s ok. Sorry if I seem rude here. I should’ve asked for more context.

Goodness, it really is.

Also, why are people cheering for him, and why didn’t he put the phone down?

Realest ****ing talk: this just keeps getting ****en sad
Last year Etika was reaching new heights with his content and was actually finishing games.


Sometimes being the entretainer causes you to forget your own well being; it happens to many comedians and performers and most of the time we are never aware of the inner struggles behind the funny antics until it is too late.

On a lighter note, I've been requesting a song every Saturday at my local classic rock station on Twitter. They have "all request Saturdays" from 7PM to Midnight. A lot of the songs played are rarely played on the station otherwise.

Why he was showing this live is beyond me.

I'm not a viewer of his, so I don't really have an opinion on him, but I hope this goes well for him.

because an unfortunately high number of people don't treat a guy having a live-recorded mental breakdown as anything more than entertainment

I do really want help for him too, and I hope everything turns out ok, but I’m a bad confused as to why he seemed mentally stable when they came in, and kept recording.

Same here.
Guy's gonna need to accept the help they try to give him.
I really hope so.

Guys, this sounds a little too suspicious, actually. To be HONEST:

How did Etika even get crazy like this? Sure, we've seen him get crazy, but it didn't look close to this current situation. But wait one moment before you reply to this question.....

I have a theory, though. There might be something RELATED to this post with Etika.
There was a problem fetching the tweet

the fact "joycon bots" was yelled makes me 100% sure its his job causing him to have these major breakdowns. Getting overloaded and all

Hopefully they thought this was a publicity stunt. I mean, in one of those videos he was smiling at the people cheering him on.

He's a black man living in the US. These are cops. Pretty cut and dry.
I know that, just streaming the whole deal comes off as a bit attention grabbing to me, especially if he was as scared as he said he was, but I think his mental health is more important.

Cops that could have easily busted right through the door and detained, but didn’t. They wanted it to be peaceful. I get your reasoning but it’s clear they weren’t overly aggressive in that video

At this point it boils down to probably him thinking: "As long as I have a reaction from my audience it will be fine" that's why he even looked cheerful when arrested.

So yeah, hopefully the isolation from media and some treatment will help him to find the real Desmond he left behind.

He's having a breakdown and acting irrationally, I doubt he put much thought towards why he was streaming

I think his job definitely had an impact on his mental health, but there's only so much you can gleam from behind a screen. We don't know what events have been leading up to this or how long Etika's been suffering. Although I can't imagine constantly having to act excited and energetic to thousands did anything to help.

Sorry, never really seen something like this before. Not sure what to say or do. Have I done something wrong?

Makes sense. (Him not thinking irrationally due to the mental issue, that is.)

Whenever this type of thing happens it feels to be mostly black people. Why that is is beyond me.

Which means she's riddled with death flags. Hopefully I'm wrong like with All Might in My Hero Academia, but we'll see.
