Some of the bans I'm seeing in here are not trolls. They are actually people that know what they're talking about instead of this joke of a moderation that let this shitshow happen to begin with.
People had valid reasons to be skeptical of Etika and be frustrated with him. Look at the things he was saying. This situation isn't as simple as some are making it to be, these words are hurtful.
It's tragic that this man who built up this channel and a lot of fans died in this manner as he didn't deserve to go out like this. However these words were definitely harmful and some people's frustrations were warranted I feel.
I can see an argument being made about being more empathetic to people who are battling depression but: There's in my opinion no doubt a good amount people are using his suicide to push their agendas because they don't like moderation or are straight up trolls. Now how would we handle this with people like Kanye West or other people with truly horrible views in case they were about to contemplating suicide? What's a cry for help in this situation and what isn't? Plenty of folks use that as an excuse to create a platform for those shitty views. How far do we want them to push it? This doesn't count for the average user but well known people on the internet with mental illness need real help and you can't offer that on a video game forum. All I see right now is plenty of users trying to push their personal agendas with this sites moderation amongst an event where someone has lost his life. To me that's as disgusting as some of the responses in the other thread.
Incredibly awful. A mod, who should be held to the highest of standards gets a free pass for an incredibly awful post. Sure, that person is an ex mod now, but they in no way have been held to the same standards as anyone else, who would have been instantly banned for that kind of post.
I'm sorry you were hurt and thank you for sharing with us. But considering the context of when they were said, do you really think your comment is best posted in this situation? To me it reeks of someone trying to reconcile the dismissive things they said once the reality of Etika's mental health became clear.
I'm not. I came into this thread to remorse and as it progressed it turned into what it is now and I offered a reason for some people's skepticism. My first post in this thread is me being angry with Keemstar.
I don't think people are talking about rank and file mods here. They're talking about much more higher-ups.

I don't think the whole one was posted. It's truly unnerving seeing a human being on the verge of committing suicide.

Because people do not fucking care, they can´t tell the difference because they do not bother to care about a fucking people going through this spiral of destructive behavior, I wouldn't be alive right now without the people that we are able to help me live after all the things I said, is a fucking a world , it hurts I know it does I know it from people who I though where my closest friends but guess what? It hurts, but Im alive, he is fucking dead, because know I see hundreds during weeks in this very fucking forum who did not care, this hurts much more that any f word I received in my entire life.
