Desmond Amofah, more commonly known to many as the YouTube personality Etika has been found dead, after going missing six days ago. Concerns rose when the man uploaded a video to his YouTube channel where he talked about depression and suicide. Yesterday, it was confirmed that Etika's belongings were found laying along the edge of a bridge in Manhattan. A police investigation was opened, which resulted in the authorities pulling a deceased male from a nearby river. The New York Police Department then later confirmed that the body did in fact belong to Desmond Amofah. The YouTuber showed previous signs of distress, as when he entirely deleted his YouTube account earlier this year, to the shock of his massive online fanbase. Etika rose to YouTube fame by playing Nintendo games, having almost a million subscribers. He died at the young age of 29.

I understand completely why you want the videos back. I know if my favorite youtuber or celeb died then I would want to be able to watch their stuff all over again. In the end, if the family says 'No', then it will no longer matter what anyone else thinks or any damn online petition makes. Will you respect it if the family says 'No'?

I will tell you what though... I am positive all of his videos have been mirrored somewhere else. If you want them bad enough I am sure you can find them, download them, and keep them to yourself.

You sure his family doesn't want his channel back...?

They may, IDK. I never heard of him before yesterday. I still don't know anything about him really nor am I going to bother reading more into it than a few posts on this thread.

Well, if you are going to say something, have some evidence to backup your claim.

 

[DeadlyFoez]

I did not make any claims of anything. I assume you are referring to this
" In the end, if the family says 'No', then it will no longer matter what anyone else thinks or any damn online petition makes. Will you respect it if the family says 'No'?"

And if thats the case, that is not a statement claiming anything. Notice the using of the word 'if'. I take it you don't do any programming.

It doesn't matter what his family wants. He already stated he DOES NOT want his videos up. If you want to go against his wishes you have NO respect for him(probably not for anyone tbh). You clearly struggle with boundaries as you seem to feel entitled to other people's wants specially when it pertains to things that THEY created. You do NOT own these videos, you can't make a petition to take ownership of someone else's property. What part of that can you not understand?

Well... if his family doesn't want it, it can't be helped.

IT IS NOT TO TAKE OWNERSHIP, it is just like to remain, just like Yoteslaya Channel, Maybe no one here agrees with me, but there are a lot out there who does, i'm just protecting what i think, and as i said before, majority wins, and, you will forget thread in like 3 or 4 days, we will not forget Etika.

NO NO NO THIS HAS TO BE FAKE! THERE CAN'T BE ANOTHER DEAD CELEBRITY! THERE JUST CAN'T BE!

Celebrity? Far from! This is the 1st I heard of him.

Etika was well known in the gaming community, therefore, he is, by definition, a celebrity.

Mental health is a serious stuff. I wish he had looked for help.

In that case I am a video game celebrity too, I have been playing for 40 +years!

What an awful way to go. When people think of suicide or personal harm, they are thinking selfishly, only wanting to eliminate their own worries, doubts, and depressions from their own life, when in fact, they usually do not take into account what that will do to others...
My condolences. If anyone needs to talk, please PM me. I'm all ears.

the worst part of all, is that this could have been avoided

it was obvious he was going through hard times, but his fans decided to use clown emotes instead of lending him a hand

keep this always in mind, internet toxicity IS real toxicity, think about ur actions
