    Desmond Daniel Amofah (May 12, 1990 – June 19, 2019), better known by his online alias Etika, was an American YouTube personality, online streamer, rapper and model, best known for his over-the-top reactions to Nintendo Direct presentations.

    Following several months of exhibiting signs of mental illness, as well as threatening to commit suicide on multiple occasions, Amofah disappeared on the evening of June 19, 2019, after uploading an apologetic video on YouTube in which he admitted to being mentally ill and suicidal. His body was discovered in the East River on June 24 by the New York City Police Department; he was believed to have jumped from the Manhattan Bridge. On June 26, 2019, the Office of Chief Medical Examiner determined a death of suicide by drowning.[3]

    Early life

    Desmond Daniel Amofah was born on May 12, 1990,[4] in Brooklyn, New York, to father Owuraku Amofah, a Ghanaian politician and lawyer from Kibi, Ghana,[5] and mother Sabrina Amofah. Owuraku served as a member of the Parliament of Ghana for Abuakwa Central constituency from 1992 to 1996. Owuraku's father's relative (addressed by him as "uncle") Nana Akufo-Addo, of the prominent Ghanaian Ofori-Atta family,[6] became President of Ghana in January 2017. He was re-elected in December 2020.[7][8] Amofah had several siblings, including an older brother, Randy Amofah (born August 14, 1982), who died on October 31, 2010 from an asthma attack.[9][10]

    Career

    Modeling, streaming and YouTube career

    Prior to the Etika branding, Amofah was active in modeling and rapping, having released an independently produced mixtape titled Written in Ice in 2007 under his pseudonym "Iceman".[11][12] He started modeling in 2011 and continued until 2015.[13] Amofah stated in a tweet that the name Etika came from the 2003 video game Sonic Battle, of which he was a fan of in his youth. In the game, players could input a cheat code titled "EkiTa", and when Amofah was 12, he simply switched the T and the K to create his username as he "liked that result better".[14] He started using YouTube to broadcast his gaming and reaction streams in 2012 under his original username "EWNetwork" (meaning "Etika World Network"). It was originally planned for the channel's content to be produced collaboratively by a variety of users including Amofah himself, but such plans never materialized.[15] Prior to the closure of his main channel on YouTube in 2018, he had more than 800,000 subscribers between his YouTube and Twitch channels, and within months after creating a second YouTube channel, known as "EtikaFRFX", he had gained more than 130,000 subscribers.[16][17]

    Amofah's content was typically Nintendo-focused.[18] He frequently streamed reactions, often over-the-top, to Nintendo Direct presentations, which usually involved him screaming and falling out of his chair in elated shock.[19] He dubbed his fans the "Joy-Con Boyz", after the Nintendo Switch controllers known as the Joy-Con,[16] and would frequently end his videos with his signature catchphrase "Take care of yourself. Have yourself a damn good one!"[20] Despite focusing on Nintendo related content, Amofah also did playthroughs of indie games (e.g., Undertale and Doki Doki Literature Club!), he also commonly played on the Minecraft server 2b2t.

    Amofah briefly changed his channel name to "Young Ramsay" in 2015 after cooking scallops, having been inspired by the celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay. Soon afterwards, Ramsay himself followed Amofah on Twitter.[21]

    In November 2016, two videos of Amofah's where he purported to have a Nintendo Switch console before its 2017 release gained notoriety and were scrutinized by fans. It would eventually be learned the model Amofah was using was 3D-printed by fellow YouTuber "Sandqvist" at his request.[18][22][23]

    Controversies and channel terminations

    In November 2016, Amofah claimed he had gotten the Nintendo Switch early; he then revealed an accurate model of the console. Various drama channels such as "DramaAlert" reported on it. He would later reveal it to be a fake.[23]

    In June 2017, Amofah revealed himself to be the victim of multiple "fake donations", or "chargebacks" of large amounts of money sent to his PayPal account via stream donations, which would jostle Amofah with hundreds of dollars in processing fees.[24]

    Let my story be one that advises caution on too much of the social media shit, man. It can fuck you up. It can give you an image of what you want your life to be, and it can get blown completely out of proportion, dawg. Unfortunately, it consumed me and it made me forget about consequences to my actions. It made me forget that we have to pay for the things that we say. It made me forget that there are – there is weight behind words. I was so consumed with this great image that I had that I thought I was invulnerable with everything. I thought, 'oh, I'm destined for this, nothing can stop me'.

    Amofah discusses the effect social media had on him.[15]

    On October 25, 2018, Amofah uploaded pornography to his YouTube channel EWNetwork (then titled Etika), which violated YouTube's policies and consequently led to the channel's termination. He later had his second channel EtikaFRFX terminated in April 2019 for the same reason.[25][26] He was also banned from Twitch that year for using a homophobic slur during a stream.[27]

    Following the termination of his EWNetwork channel, Amofah posted cryptic messages to social media, including the statement "it's my turn to die", coupled with a screenshot of his terminated account. Several of his followers felt that the messages and posts were suicidal in nature, which quickly created a panic within his following.[25][28] Amofah took to social media that evening to confirm his well-being, along with other streamers who professed to having seen him safe and sound in person, so as to allay his followers' fears.[29] He later apologized on his subreddit r/EtikaRedditNetwork.[25] On October 29, 2018, Amofah confirmed on his Twitch stream that he purposefully deleted his channel due to the fact that he does not receive ad revenue from the channel.

    On April 16, 2019, Amofah tweeted that he was going to kill himself with a pistol he bought from a gun store in Long Island, which subsequently led to his arrest and hospitalization. Christine Cardona, who had dated Amofah from 2011 to 2017, confirmed his well-being, and that she had been "observing him all day".[30] Days later, he posted a photoshopped picture of himself holding a gun, which Cardona later confirmed was fake. On April 29, after tweeting a vast quantity of cryptic messages, including homophobic and ethnic slurs (that were promptly deleted),[31] he blocked close friends of his, including fellow YouTuber Sky Williams.[27][31][32] Later that day, he live-streamed himself being detained by police to over 19,000 viewers on Instagram Live, after a concerned fan notified police about his alarmingly erratic nature during the livestream.[25][33][34][35] He was detained again later that same week for assaulting a police officer.[36] Amofah would then make an appearance on the YouTube channel "DramaAlert" for an interview, in which he stated he was the "antichrist" and that he wanted to "purge all life".[33][37]

    Disappearance and death

    On midnight of June 20, 2019, a video titled "I'm sorry" was uploaded to Amofah's personal YouTube channel, "TR1Iceman".[28] In the video, Amofah admitted to having mental health issues, struggling with the attention he had gained from streaming and apologized for pushing people away from him.[15] The description of the video contained a suicide note.[38] YouTube soon removed the video for violating its Community Guidelines, though Amofah's fans reposted the video to other outlets.[28]

    Amofah was last heard from at 8:36pm Eastern Time (ET) on June 19[39] and was reported missing to the New York Police Department (NYPD) the following day.[40] While the NYPD began its own search, fellow Internet personalities and his fans tried to reach out to him to offer their help and show their appreciation for his work over the years.[41]

    On the night of June 19, the same day of Amofah's disappearance, his belongings were discovered on the pedestrian walkway of the Manhattan Bridge. They included a backpack, wallet, laptop bag, cell phone, a change of clothes and a Nintendo Switch.[42][43]

    On the evening of June 24, a body was observed near Pier 16, approximately half a mile (0.8 km) down the East River from where Amofah's belongings were recovered, and reported to the NYPD.[16] By the morning of June 25, the NYPD and emergency medical services had recovered the body, confirmed it was Amofah, and stated that he was dead at the point of recovery.[44] The following day, the Office of Chief Medical Examiner confirmed the cause of death was suicide by drowning.[15][45]

    Reactions

    Amofah's death highlighted social media platforms' handling of posts by users who appear at risk with mental illness or who are contemplating suicide. YouTube, in removing Amofah's final video, stated that removal of such videos is standard practice to "reduce the potential for copycat acts of self-harm, videos that express suicidal ideation", and as part of this, sent information to Amofah's account related to national suicide hotlines in order to provide help.[26]

    Amofah's erratic behavior in the months prior to his disappearance led some of his followers to take the events preceding his suicide as a humorous performance by Amofah, rather than signs of him struggling with his mental health. Following his death, mental health researchers found several videos Amofah had posted that showed evidence of his troubled state but were taken as jokes by some of his viewers, rather than as signs of mental illness. As a result, some took Amofah's final video as another joke and disregarded any concern over his well-being; Keemstar initially thought Amofah's final video was a pre-meditated publicity stunt, stating after Amofah's death, "I was never fully convinced that he was mentally ill or in trouble because of our private convos."[19] The aforementioned mental health researchers stressed the need to make more people on social media informed about the signs of mental illness, depression, and suicidal thoughts, so that they are able to recognize when people in a mindset similar to Amofah's are in danger and need support.[19][46] Keemstar briefly became a target of some of Amofah's fans, who blamed him for Amofah's suicide due to the "DramaAlert" interview and statements made in tweets prior to and following the interview. Amofah's mother wrote to these fans in attempts to assure them that Keemstar was in no way responsible for Amofah's death, stating that "Etika loved Keemstar's show" and only wanted to make a memorable appearance on it.[37]

    Legacy

    Following Amofah's suicide, fans on Twitter and in emails asked that YouTube re-upload Amofah's final video to help memorialize him. A Change.org petition was started and initially garnered more than 380,000 signatures, but later dropped to 197,000 signatures after many fraudulent signatures from Internet bots were removed. It asked for Amofah's original channel to be restored to preserve his legacy.[28][47][41] Another Change.org petition with over a million signatures, which later dropped to more than 200,000 signatures for similar reasons, called for Amofah to be buried at YouTube headquarters, which he stated as his wish during an earlier livestream.[48]

    Fans later erected a memorial on Amofah's behalf on the pedestrian walkway of the Manhattan Bridge, leaving letters, fan art, Twizzlers, Nintendo-related products and other memorabilia.[49]

    On June 25, 2019, YouTuber Abe Hunter announced he was the owner and operator of Amofah's website,[50] and subsequently converted it into a fundraiser site where 100% of the profits were to be donated to the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) in Amofah's name.[51] On July 15, 2019, on behalf of the Joy-Con Boyz community, Abe Hunter donated the $11,315.25 raised in memory of Amofah.[52]

    On July 21, 2019, YouTuber PewDiePie and American actor Jack Black started a fundraiser on the crowdfunding website GoFundMe for the NAMI. PewDiePie and Black streamed themselves playing Minecraft together to raise money for their fundraiser. PewDiePie himself donated $10,000, and raised over $30,000.[53]

    YouTubers Abe Hunter and Double-A worked with mural artist BK Foxx and graffiti artists Kestaadm and JMZWalls to create a 40-feet long mural by November 2019 dedicated to Amofah in Bushwick, Brooklyn.[54] The mural was created to celebrate Amofah's life and to help bring awareness to mental health issues. The mural's location was added as a virtual "PokéStop" in the augmented reality game Pokémon Go in February 2020 after over 350,000 people requested Niantic to add it in memory of Amofah.[55]

    In August 2019, an Indiegogo campaign was started on Amofah's behalf. The charity campaign was created to earn donations for The Jed Foundation. Contributors to the campaign received a custom-made pair of Etika-themed Joy-Con shells named "Etikons". The campaign had raised over $10,000 by the end of 2019. Additional Etikons had been made and sold online after the campaign, but according to the individual selling the shells, Nintendo had sent them a cease and desist letter around September 2020 demanding they halt all further sales of the remaining stock due to the use of trademarked terms on the shells. Nintendo subsequently received criticism for this decision.[56]
