Internet relationships (whether they be one sided hypothetical relationships with a content creator, online friends on discord, or just people you know on the internet) are very fragile. In the sense that, if someone suddenly stops all online activity, you have no way of knowing what actually happened to them. It's kind of sad to think that something like this might happen to some of us in the days to come, and none of us would be any the wiser about what happened to them. It's kind of sad.

I reached out on every platform I could think of, I was either blocked on everything or they deleted everything. I was on the verge of a panic attack, my friend E WAS panicking and I was about to call the police because I knew the general area they lived in.

As someone who has been in the TF2 community for a long time I can confidently say a large majority of people watching TF2 youtubers are beyond unhinged and have no sense of boundaries. Had he just quit his audience would have thrown a fit, I don't agree with him faking his death, but having seen other TF2 youtuber's audiences do a total 180 on them and become almost hostile because they either want to branch out, or got bored with TF2. If it's to be believed that he felt videogames were ruining his life, it's probably true he was suffering from some degree of mental illness, and I can sort of understand why he would lie about his leaving, especially if he's seen other people in the community face backlash for not wanting to play the game anymore. I think the the terms of morality on youtube, stating you have a terminal illness of some sort isn't the worst thing anyone could do. I don't like the fact that he had donations on his channel, that's really scummy in my opinion. However this doesn't really hurt as many people as some of the awful stuff other youtubers have done (scams, false flags, child exploitation etc)

Internet went from 2012-2019 being the extremely harsh/horrible levels of dark humor with no boundaries, to 2020-2022 where everyone gets too sensitive and has to share their opinion on any matter. It just sounds like Sketchek said, it was a horrible joke, but when he made those vids saying «un named terminal illness» or whatever, atleast he pulled his sick joke by vaguely mentioning shit and letting the fanbase build the rest of that story in their imagination. I feel like it would’ve been a lot worse if he genuinely faked cancer or ALS or named an illness that people have lost lives to. I remember being a teen online 2012-2017, it was so fucking normal for people to say «get cancer you fucking loser» as like an attempt at dark humor, but now that shit just feels so childish because most of us grew up beyond that.

I would like to point out as someone who drenched themselves in the tf2 community for years, that tf2 fans have a bad habit of turning on creators who leave the community to do other things and other games. A lot of tf2 fans seem to think if a creator got their start through tf2, they now belong to tf2 forever and can't do anything else or they are abandoning and failing the community that made them popular in the first place. Since there's a lot of toxic fans like that there would be a pressure to not be honest. The community might turn on him as quickly as they did to people like STAR_. Dying seems like he would go through a lot less drama in the short term since no one could really get mad at someone leaving tf2 for that reason.

@@rainchopper898 I feel like what you're saying is very easy for someone like you or me, but for major content creators who get thousands of eyes on them, they're going to have to deal with more serious harassment than some mean words like doxing, and even insane people calling their place of work to try to get them fired. Do you even know what it's like to be popular enough that that kind of harassment is pretty much a given? It's not nearly as easy to ignore as you think. It's not the same as somebody just leaving you an angry comment which can be easily ignored. It's thousands of people ganging together trying to dog pile and destroy you in any way possible. I feel like when you don't deal with that sort of level of harassment that comes from popularity it's really easy to try to play a moral high ground and just be like, "ignore it." cause they've never had a crazy fan going to their grandmother's Facebook page to harrass their family, or call their job lying and saying they've been stealing, or calling the police to swat their house. There's a genuine lack of safety when there's so many eyes on you.

This is sickening. After seeing that Technoblade has died, this is truly disgusting. People claiming to have terminal illnesses for clout is absolutely terrible, diseases are not something to play with. Edit: MOM IM FAMOUS Edit 2: I didn’t make this comment because I’ve seen Techno’s death before this, I saw this video way before he died. I wrote it because seeing someone die was the last straw when it came to making a light matter of such things. It was never moral of Sketchek to do such crazy bullshit, or of anyone to ever do this kind of crazy shit. You can’t cover his shit up with “It was a prank” or any bullshit excuse, what Sketchek did is down to fucking horrible. And to the people who said he didn’t do it for clout, you must’ve not watched the video fully or didn’t pay attention. Why go out with a bang? He EXPLICITLY SAID THAT HE WANTED TO GO WITH A BANG! FOR WHAT?! Well, obviously, if you could listen, you could’ve picked up it was for FUCKING ATTENTION. Guess you ain’t got no one to be on the same page nowadays, huh?

It's kind of baffling that this is was even debated at all among the community. Beloved or not, this dude casually faked having a terminal illness just because he "wanted to go out with a bang", something that's incredibly disingenuous and extremely gross to be regarding so flagrantly. I know that people can change and it could have been a matter of him regretting his action years later, a lot can change even in 3 years, but from the video played it doesn't seem like that, it just seems like a casual shrug like "oh btw i faked my illness but i wanna make videos again haha". It tells me that he didn't really understand the gravity of what he had done at the time, even after three years of letting it settle in. Although I think the thing that really cements how this wasn't him realizing he'd fucked up was him making some spooky ARG out of his return like he was being fun and cheeky.

Sadly this didn't talk about the other side of the coin as for the reason why this happened, where he was kicked out of his house for being a video game NEET and thought video games were ruining his life. Then had to spend a year or 2 wandering Japan as a hikki until he was basically saved by a friend. There are reasons why some people go off the deep end at times and I am just happy he is doing well mentally these days. I do agree he should have been just straightforward and admitted to the reason why he had to leave, I think people would have been quite understanding and empathetic. But young edgy teens on the internet thought "going out with a bang" like that was the thing to do. Internet culture can be quite the drug.

I think times have changed from the early 2010's Internet culture wise. As we can see here from the wide-ranging sentiment that faking chronic illness is a bad thing otherwise. Sketchek talked in his apology video wanting to make it as hard as possible to come back as at the time he left he thought that the video game addiction he had was ruining his life as I said earlier. The point I do want to make is, today 2022-wise people are much more accepting of mental health issues and saying "hey my parents are kicking me out of the house, I won't have access to the internet in a stable manner for a long time and I need time for myself to get better" I think folks will understand. But from what I gathered, the TF2 fanbase at the time would probably had just made fun of it or whatever. Which is why if you look for his Sketchek content nowadays it's been scrubbed by him. He wanted a fresh start away from all this drama, and I am quite happy that he is at a better place living plus mental health wise, and with what content he is creating nowadays.

He literally could've just popped back on KZbin and been like "hey I beat my illness" and maybe even gone a step further and explain what the "illness" was in order to make his story more believable. But he didn't, and instead explained what he did. I'm not excusing his actions, and coming clean about something isn't enough in any way shape or form, but it is more than a lot of other content creators can say after they do something along the lines of this, or elaborate lies and stuff like that. He wasn't even pressured into coming clean either and did it fully out of his own free will, which I think earned him some bonus points in the community. Once again tho, doesn't excuse what he did.

A couple minutes of entertainment every few weeks is all they truly cared about. If Sketchek said he was dying and then quit immediately, I'd understand the stupid mistake behind it. This was much more drawn out. Calculated. His apology sounded so sincere because he wanted an audience again. People forgave him not because it was the right thing to do, but because of what they would get in return: content.

Some fake their own death because they rationally decided to. Some people change names and go live a different live altogether because they rationally decided to.

If you don't like how he uses the money you donated, maybe you shouldn't be donating... You know, in the similar vein, if you don't like that the hobo you gave $20 to went ahead and bought a bottle of vodka, maybe you shouldn't be giving him any money... Charities are a joke and help noone. If you cared about the hobo you'd call the police (to help get him where he needs to be) and pay the bills for his rehabilitation. Neither a loaf of bread nor $20 nor an used jacket will help the hobo, because him not having any of those is not the problem. Literally anyone can acquire these things if they put some effort into it, and supporting a nation financially that only drives itself further into debt only fuels its self destructive behaviours, instead of you know, actually improving things. If you want to help anyone, maybe go buy a cessna and fly it into a governmental building or two. And if you think I'm an asshole, go look at egypt, country where people work for like $130/month while its leaders are planning to build a monorail worth billions of dollars. And in case you didn't know why that's a bad thing... Well, ignoring the fact that people in question will not be able to afford a ticket, I'm just going to let you know that monorail is a joke and a normal tram/train/metro is all you need. And guess who's funding egypt? The new capital they're building there is going to be more of a joke than Dubai. This is where your charity goes, idiots.

The TF2 community always had quite a bit of a parasocial relationship with its content creators, they’d gladly welcome any new up and coming creator but end up turning on them if they decided to branch out in terms of content. It’s thankfully more forgiving now but I remember back then when people were harassing creators like Ster_, Jerma, Muselk for essentially ‘abandoning’ them like the TF2 devs did. So maybe it’s this mentality that led Sketchek to fake his death.

This is from a reddit comment I saw some time ago yes what he did is horrible but I think this can explain why he did such things he regrets it and it's best if we all just move on "Tbf that was around 7 yrs ago and he changed since then so calling him a "garbage human" is too harsh. He's a Vtuber now and he talked alot about his past life. It does give you clues about what happened. He was likely only 18-20 yrs old when it happened. From what he said, he was kicked out of the family he was living with in Japan for being a NEET. He kept putting off job hunting because of anxiety and likely was using gaming/content creation as a distraction. It probably was bad if the family he lived with even kicked him out and Sketchek talked about how gaming was "ruining his life." He was crashing at his friend's place and hanging out in a cafe every day killing time waiting for job replies. It match up with Sketchek's apology where he said he came up with idea for fake death at a cafe. Considering how young he was + added pressure of immature kid dealing with e-fame from content creations + homeless and jobless, I can see why he thought he needed to do something that drastic to cut himself off from content creating. It's ridiculous but he was immature in a bad state of mind. He seemed to grew up now and happier at his new job. He mentioned on his Vtuber stream how he did "regrettable" things so he definitely knows what he did is wrong. People make mistakes so I don't think it's fair to keep judging them based on what they did 7 yrs ago" Edit: another thing if people see this please don't comment in his streams about his past as his contract with nijisanji might get terminated I know he did some stupid stuff but you're not allowed to ruin anyones life for something they did 7 years ago

@@bgoth-yt5kn Trying to figure out and speculating about who is behind the avatar is very rude in the Vtuber community, both to their fans and to the Vtuber. While it is natural to be curious it is best to draw your own conclusions and keep it to yourself. The only exceptions are in cases like Bubi Edit: also, the character is separate from the person that plays them.

This is honestly a mockery to those who have lost family and friends to terminal illnesses and have lost their lives to their illness. Those people can't just pick and choose when to have their illness and whether to come back from it. They have to live the rest of their short life in pain, in debt, and in fear of one day never waking up or being able to live out the rest of their lives and thinking of the what ifs. Losing someone to a terminal illness can also be just as devastating emotionally and financially and it's honestly the worst feeling that can ever be felt. Genuinely, this person is horrible. He didn't even seem remorseful of what he's done, nor did I hear one genuine apology from this person and treated it as a joke. Disgusting.

He did apologize in a video and on stream because he was younger and dumber and felt terrible doing so, he hasn't uploaded/stream in a while but he is generally accepted again fully by the community after apologizing about what he did. (And as he said he had a mental health problem and felt like games were ruining his life and tried to make it as hard as possible to return to gaming) I'll let you decide for yourself if he deserve returning or not but it is what it is

I die like 10 times every game why was everyone so upset that the best player died once?
i knew him via an irl friend (incidentally my best friend in the whole world, and someone i shouldve treated a LOT better). i was in a fucked up place, with my mental health, so naturally i made enormous mistakes in my friendship, and it ended because im garbage, and i totally acknowledge that, but anyway. i remember he (sketch) called me princess in japanese, in a mumble convo once and it literally made my year lmao. funny nice guy. would say the most random shit. usually i love to watch ur content sunny, but i really cannot bring myself to watch this. it reminds me of a time when i was incredibly unhappy, suicidal, alcoholic, and just a dumb teenage idiot. i just know that sketch and the guy who was truly the closest friend i'd had in a long time, were lovely people to me, and i was human trash. idk. am human trash? i keep writing like anyone's gonna see this, or even remotely believe me lmao, which is besides the point. idk its just odd ?? seeing his name again after so long. i think im venting this for my own self and trying to justify my own shittiness and past behaviour as some stupid redemption arc in that ive somehow changed bc i can admit how bad i was? turns out dumb girl is still dumb ass woman. wish i could say sorry to a lot of people from my aus tf2 days. hennyway, love ur work sunny. ♥ edit: fwiw. my best friend's name was will, we were "will and grace". despite everything, i guess i still miss him.
