Etika Explanation.

Alright. This is gonna be kinda hard for me because I'm REALLY not tryna catch backlash for this, but fuck it. I'm game. No TLDRs. You want the story, you fucking got it.



To start, we should go back to the 15th. His first of two outbreaks. Desmond states "Fast! Don't do a deal with the Devil! k?" across three tweets. This is followed after a short time by a photo of a security camera's footage with Desmond standing right in the line, smiling. My original thought here was something about robbing the place, but Alice let me in on the fact that this was an insignificant image and that she was, in fact, with him at that time. She was with him the entirety of April 15th. This let me in on a lot of information upon contacting her about it. We had a discussion about it spanning multiple hours, and I will provide a few screenshots from said conversation (with permission, of course).



We settled on the idea that Etika was undergoing a spiritual awakening. This would mean that he had been enlightened in some way (e.g. someone had told him that everyone was a god in their own right and that he can do whatever he aspires to, some shit like that but it goes a lot deeper) and a lot of his tweets line up with this conclusion. Here are a few highlights. This all plays into the idea of a god complex as well, which many people have commented on. That is definitely a part of it all. However, Desmond has a bigger goal over all.



I didn't really believe it when I was told, but Etika wants to build a space elevator to the black hole, Xenoblade-style, and enter the black hole. While he absolutely can't do this even if he had the money, it didn't stop him from trying to beg people for it. He's still doing it, even. I was made aware of a stream he did yesterday on his TR1Iceman channel where he tried to watch GoT for a while, couldn't get his setup to work, and then the stream's attitude completely changed. I think he may have ended the stream because he wasn't getting as many donations as he wanted to fund his goal.



Anyways, the April 15th event ended with Etika threatening suicide. Alice documented the entire event on her own Twitter account, stating that she called the cops after leaving the place because she feared he would hold true on his claims. This quite obviously was false, and she commented on this later. He was released about 10 days later because "his condition improved drastically".



As for the whole FRFX channel deletion thing, the porn he uploaded matches the thing he did last time with his main channel when he had his older, less spiritually driven breakdown. Aside from this point...



Now, today's events. After being released, a few days later, he begins his tirade a second time. Same shit, different day. He starts about the black hole again, turns his god complex into a devil complex, and starts even more callouts, stating multiple times that "there are no coincidences" and "the revolution will not be televised". The number of tweets about Etika reached nearly 100k on trending, a fucking INSANE number mind you. Keemstar was one of the main callouts, being told to report Desmond's ascension and only that news. Keemstar, being Keemstar, obliged. I don't blame him at all - it was already public, why not keep more people updated? I contacted Alice as it started this morning and had a nice discussion about how we couldn't really help him. The people calling the police on him really were the heroes here, believe it or not.



As for the "My name is Ethos" tweet, that essentially means that our culture as a whole should be about worshipping him, as Ethos is the aggregated beliefs of a culture personified.



He started a livestream on Instagram after uploading a video where he tells the cops outside his apartment that he shoots porn and that people are trying to hurt him online. His IG livestream ended about 15 minutes before my writing this, with Etika eating, playing Smash (and apparently masturbating? beats me, I wasn't fucking there) and commenting on the cops outside as they busted into his room and arrested him. That's really that - he'll be reinstitutionalized and hopefully more will be done to make sure this doesn't happen again.



There's a lot of significance to a lot of his tweets, but I'll point out one as an example: When he refers to "eldritch titans" right after posting a lot of wolf-like creatures and the like, there are tales of creatures thousands of times larger than us. A good example of this expressed in a movie is the ending of Moana, where that giant grass goddess or whatever tf is revived using the amulet. There are pictures of a chain of mountains shaped like that exact face. This is assuming that the people making movies are in on something we aren't confident about, it's hard to tell. That's why they call it conspiracy. This could also be why Etika refers to songs so much, he thinks that rappers/other musicians are in on this conspiracy against the human race/gods.



Anyways, I'll include some extra snippets of my conversation with Alice in the Imgur album as well. Have a good day, and don't blame Etika for this. None of this is his fault. It's a combination of him ascending spiritually, his brain not being to handle it, and his real personality trolling people on occasion.
