I really hope Sketch sees this video and reaches out. We’ve lost so many great streamers and entertainers due to the toxic environment of the internet, and we almost lost this one too. Sketch is definitely a one of kind streamer and it’d be impossible for anyone to fill the imprint he has. He really didn’t need to apologize for anything, if anything, he’s owed an apology. Hope Sketch can get the help he needs, hearing him talk about how bad things could’ve got if he was by himself when this happened just honestly broke my heart. He’s such a sweet guy and no one deserves the kind of treatment he got❤

[@idkwhattohaveasausername5828]

I genuinely don’t understand why Sketch is getting so much hate. So what it turns out that he’s gay? Who cares? Homophobia being rampant in 2024 is wild. I can’t imagine being so cruel to someone over something like being gay that they genuinely consider ending their own life. With the amount of backlash he’s receiving you would think he did something harmful. Mental health matters and I genuinely hope Sketch gets the help he needs.

[@noticer3721]

I'm finding the ones that disgaree are having their comments removed. So you really won't find any pushback outside kids gloves and walking around eggshells with the censorship. There are multiple things wrong with what he did, sadly the only place that won't censor me is something like Kiwifarms.

[@DanHosler]

Ricky has been through alot in his own life. He recognized the pattern and saw himself in Sketch The FaZe guys might be D-Bags but at their core they're good people

[@kxjab]

@@DanHosler I don't think the current FaZe dudes are D-Bags. Generally the culture around gaming has been toxic in a lot of ways. Doesn't excuse any behavior that could be seen as D-Bag behavior, but I think it's important to remember that it's a culture that they've been a part of for almost 20 years, and it's easy to get caught up or lost in that culture. If Sketch hadn't been with the FaZe guys the night this came out, there's a real chance we would be mourning instead of celebrating the courage and strength Sketch showed by saying all of this on stream. Banks and the rest of 'em have officially earned their places in heaven man.

[@bmk2561]

current faze are the furthest thing from dbags. they are just kids having fun and being themselves, especially ron and lacy are probably the two of the realest streamers in a while (who are not a complete asshole inside like sneako or bruce). as of banks you could tell he changed and matured a lot since the beginning of the new faze, this is the best outcome u could have from a rebrand

He lost fans, but gained some really good and valuable fans as well that will likely stick by him.

[@Rockfan-l6z]

This comment is disingenuous and I will tell you why. Being a fan of someone is not unconditional. If you support someone not knowing all the information of what they do or who they are behind closed doors or when the camera is off, then you’re a fan under somewhat false pretenses. When presented with new information, fans are allowed to change their mind about how they feel about that celebrity or influencer or whatever you want to refer to them as. Supporting someone is not unconditional. Begruding teenage football gamer fans because they are disappointed that their favorite twitch streamer is a deviant sex worker on the Internet is not fair or proper. Keep in mind, Sketch made these life choices. None of his fans for the last two years had any awareness of his proclivities that were reprehensible.

[@huit1971]

⁠​⁠​⁠@@kenshugo Sketch is huge figure in the sports community (which isn’t a notoriously open-minded group of people), so much so that actual athletes follow him on multiple platforms. Gay or not, it’s understandable that he’d feel the need to apologize for his past. This is just context as to why he might feel shame-I think it’s worse to speculate on what he is and ignore that he may just not feel comfortable in sharing such a personal thing about himself, whether he is gay or was only doing gay things for money.

I watched him stop what he's doing to spend 30 minutes taking selfies straight with fans and more time but in between of what he was doing. This was off camera as well. I hope he is doing well and truly hope he reaches out after seeing this video. I saw the post of the message that saved him. He left his valuables and all his stuff at the house he stayed in or something with his roomates. So I am grateful to know that someone had reached out to Sketch before he would've done something we all thought would never happen.

Things like this will stay in a persons thoughts, and will really weigh them down. If any of you are religious, or even if you're not, please consider keeping Sketch in your thoughts and prayers. He's a good guy who made some decisions he regrets. I don't think there's anything wrong with what he did, and I don't think Sketch meant that being gay is a bad thing when he said "I fucked up." I think he legitimately regrets ever posting those intimate things online. It has been wild to watch Sketch receive more hate for being gay than certain other streamer(s) who have been exposed for predatorial activity. Everyone is deserves to be listened to, loved, and respected. Everyone makes mistakes. Be kind to each other.

Additionally, it breaches the terms of service of platforms like OnlyFans." Don't go around calling people an idiot when you clearly don't know enough about the situation to come to that conclusion.

We almost lost a handsome man with so much to offer in the world and all of us are forever grateful he’s living now. This isn’t just a breakdown this is the moment of enlightenment towards people that has mental health and also those that hate him just for being him is the biggest gift of all cause without haters, without these emotionless people we wouldn’t have this power of living whilst they rot in low self esteem and self respect.

[@Wolf21973]

I can't imagine going through that while being in the public eye. I knew I was gay at a very young age. Was suicidal pretty much K-12. Sexually assaulted multiple times in elementary school. Then it happened again when I was 14, and the person (who was 20 at the time) proceeded to stalk me off and on for YEARS. Grew up visiting my mom in the psyche ward. She overdosed multiple times in front of me when I was a kid. Fell deep into my own drug addiction at 14. I got clean at 21, thankfully. Since then, I've just been coasting.. I spend a lot of time in isolation. It's hard to break from that. Not truly living. I've felt numb most of my life now. I just recently started seeing someone for ptsd which was something that never crossed my mind until I started having panic attacks the last few years. I'm not sure where it goes from here. Still numb, and it's like a knot in my mind that I can't untie. It breaks my heart to see people out him like that. Hurt people hurt people I guess..

[@janchiv4856]

If it's on the internet, people will find that it doesn't matter if it's 100 years from now or 2 years from now; it's only a matter of time. That's why we should all aim to have a good image in person and on the internet and think twice about what we create and publish. Things you put out can make you or break you, and when they break you, you may never be able to stand back up with a smile on your face.

When I first watched this, I became such a huge sketch fan. I don't think I have ever seen an "influencer" be so open and honest about a past secret. We all have them, they just look different. I've also seen a lot of people say "well he never hurt anyone, so what do I care." But the sad reality is, a lot of people have dark secrets about how they've hurt people, and we need to all be strong enough to love and support without delusion even those people. I think sketch is starting a conversation that everyone needs to have.

[@brlxnnx]

Sketch's situation was a sobering and shocking reminder to the public on how deep addictions can go and what you would do to maintain it. I think one of the characteristics he has that people will gravitate toward moving forward is just how real he actually is. Who knows how many of his viewers were in a similar situation? How many influencers or content creators do we know that were really in the trenches at some point, or at least talked about it? Given, it wasn't his choice for this to come out, but I really think overall it will have a positive impact on him and his fan base, even if it's dark right now. You really have no clue how loved and cared for you are until sh*t hits the fan.

[@JoeBurner1720]

I know you probably didn’t mean it this way, but thinking like that in this situation could be viewed as a subtle insult to Sketch. From what I gathered, he was in a really rough patch at the time, battling addictions, and made some choices he now regrets. In his view, what he did was wrong, and I think it’s important to respect his perspective. He mentioned that he’s a changed man and doesn’t want to repeat those actions. Saying he didn’t do anything wrong can come across as ignoring the struggles he faced and the growth he’s experienced since then.

[@nickregina1024]

@@JoeBurner1720 he’s not on public trial right now for addiction though. He’s being crucified for having an Only Fans, specifically for it allegedly being gay. There’s nothing wrong with that and no one should care what he chooses to wear or do sexually.

[@Starscreamxx]

I will say this as a massive support to sketch and to keep his head up and keep it rolling as it were. There has been many people in this world that have had addiction issues and have done whatever it took to get money for those addictions. A Prime example that sketch can look up to and know that life gets better after that would be Brandon Novak and his addiction story of what he did to get his fixes. What sketch did for him to get money was his situation that was similar to brandon which was to sell his body for his addictions. So Sketch has nothing to be ashamed for because addiction is terrible and it will make you do things that many people would find disgusting but I love that sketch has rehabilated himself and moved on from that just like Brandon did and living a wonderful life. (P.S.: This is how I interpreted that time in his life because he said he had addiction issues and I figured he was needing money for those addictions. If I am partially wrong then please correct me. :).
