In the sense that, if someone suddenly stops all online activity, you have no way of knowing what actually happened to them.

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.

What people don’t realize is the tf2 community had bad abandonment issues. Had sketcheck been honest, he would have gotten a ton of hate and harassment. Ironically the only way for the community to remember him as positively as they did was for him to die. And I think understanding that makes his decision a lot more understandable.

Small note: Sketchek's Bequest isn't the name of an item, it's the name of a stat that was added to his signature weapon. There is, however, an item in the game that lets you feign your death, and some players titled that item after Sketchek as a joke after he came back

It's actually cool. Fooled everyone and then made a creepy horror movie like reveal. If I cared about TF2 I'd definitely follow him out of sheer awe for such a well executed masterful deception.

He could have kept the lie up, but apologized and moved on, respect

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.

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.

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.

It's not just the fact he faked his death, it's the fact he played and toyed with the emotions of his community, which to me is unforgivable.

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!

I think he was mainly accepted back because he came clean about everything. He literally could've just popped back on KZread 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.

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.

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 could have just made some kind of rage video being like "Fuck it, I hate video games they're ruining my life. I quit." and it would probably give the shock factor he wanted without being deceptive.

I understand, but you underestimate the TF2 community. I've been here for a while now, and every other sunday a content creator is under attack. He probably wanted to avoid that, but didn't really do it in a great way. I don't hate him though

I also dont like the fact that people's first reaction was "Why did you lie" rather than "omg he was actually fine". Feels like people only liked seeing him when he was uploading and we he stopped they felt that being empathetic about it was a moral obligation not a genuine reaction.

"he seems genuinely sorry" was an interesting take.

I feel like he genuinely thought because of video games that it did ruin his life and like that one quote that you don’t appreciate something till you lose it, was true for him and once he realized that I think he wanted to come back but before that I think he thought that he wasn’t going to and like he said he wanted to go off with a bang, making all this happen.

Judging from his reasoning of "video games ruined my life" he probably believed that all the time he put in to his youtube channel was pointless so he didn't care to do a little bit of trolling unknowingly disregarding the parasocial relationship that his audience had with him. He was a young man trying to find his way and made a mistake as he did so but along the way he realized that what he did was wrong and put the truth out there. That is all that matters.

No that's not all that matters. If you come clean about mølesting someone, does that suddenly make it okay? Screw him. I don't wish him physical harm, but i do hope his channel dies and his name is forgotten. This dude is clearly addicted to attention, don't give him any

​@@SilentForrest There are some things that are forgivable and some that aren't I understand that but I don't think in this scenario that he has done something completely irredeemable. Whether or not you believe he was genuine in his apology is completely different. I try to stay away from very pessimistic assumptions about others because of how that distrust would affect society if we all did it as a whole but, I can very well see that this may be a person who is addicted to attention.

TF2 is a game that’s even harder to hold an audience upon switching to a new game than League of Legends. Not only that, but the TF2 community on KZread is absolutely deranged and will piss themselves every time they believe a TF2ber is going to quit creating and publishing TF2 content.

Wild theory: His terminal illness was depression, which led him thinking about taking is own life. Eventually got away from video games had a good experience in Japan, decided not to kill self and was left with telling people about his struggles or just be like “yeah it was just a joke”

Hmmmm makes sense. I mean someone with depression probably doesn't wanna talk about it. Probably wants to just move on to the better times. Fact is he wants to move on and it's best we just remember him for the best times he gave.

thats what i was thinking as well.. but "ohh he did it for attention," and such.. maybe this reaction proves him right for putting it as a physical illness instead of mental illness. it isnt as much of a wild theory as a plainly logical theory, but people just write off mental health as an aspect.

Perhaps he had depression, definitely was in a bad mental place, but in Japan he actually was kicked out of the house and was sort of homeless for a year or two and severe social anxiety + sorta language barrier kept him from working and he wandered until a friend helped get him turned around again

Sketches is an inspiration for me to play tf2. Im currently level 43 on there so I’m doing very well just by thinking like him

I'm impressed, few people in the world are able to pull this off.🔥❤️

It is so interesting to know that, throughout history, some people do this. Some people disappear out of the blue because they rationally decided to. 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. I am a disinterested party here, I wasn't affected by what he did, so I don't feel anything really. Other than curiosity. What goes on inside these people's head?
