Most of those Twitch streamers are messed up... depressed, ADD, introverts... most are children who never grew up... and they live in one of the most toxic/a-hole laden environments on Earth.. the internet.

Surprised it doesn't happen more often actually.

Edit:

Was looking around and came across this. Proves both my points. Sad.

Looking at those tweets dude was 100% manic. The comments make it even worse. Social media is a plague

Why would you make such broad assumptions?

While they are assumptions...it doesn't mean he isn't right.

The internet is toxic. It is a disease and likely the best and worst creation man has ever made.

I had no idea who this was so I looked at his twitter. It's sad but it looks like he did it over a woman. That's no reason to commit suicide.

Broad assumptions?

Watch some streams.

The video of people telling Rekful to kill himself doesn't prove my point?

Tha frick?

People with actual mental disorders need to be as far from twitter as possible. He, for well adjusted people sometimes nonstop negativity can mess with your head. For someone with issues, the internet is nothing but a minefield of hate and destruction. Hell, there are some internet trolls that would laugh it up if their comments caused someone to commit suicide. Rough at time for the best of us, downright nightmare zone for those people with issues.

he was bipolar and depressed for years. Dude was lonely. I think him proposing on Twitter was his last hope for happiness. I think it’s more than him just doing it because of a girl

I don't say this jokingly but prostitution could possibly save a few of these types. Get a woman who knows how to fake affection and let you knock one out. It helps one move on

Reckful battled his demons forever. He seemed like a good dude from what I saw of him.

His talk with Dr. K six months ago about depression was pretty intense.

YouTube

RIP Reckful.

Yea. His struggles were well documented. This is just a sad day.

Nah it was a lot deeper than that. Reckful was really messed up mentally.

eta: I also learned today that his parents have now lost 2 sons to suicide. That's wild.

that wasnt his appt it was a neighboring appt he jokingly* wanted some friends to move in there but both are def cries for help as well as a bunch of other things but a lot of his streamer friends said they checked on him daily and it was just too early in the morning nobody could do anything plus ppl did hit him up when he proposed on twitter whether he saw them or not idk but I do believe ppl were looking out for him he just felt so incredibly lonely im sure plus I'm pretty sure he was planning a lot of IRL trips for 2020 and well yea those didnt happen, any one familar with twitch, his and soda
s IRL Japan streams will forever be the best content on twitch, the content never ended in those streams

I had to leave twitter because of this exact reason. The internet is toxic and some places bring out even worse toxicity. I realized one day that I started having mild panic And anger attacks because of the shite on twitter. I deleted it shortly after and I honestly am a much happier person.

Well mental health is serious business. Also if you start getting any serious following for anything in life there is almost always haters unless you have some ungodly personality/ability. I mean if you find a cure for cancer there's going to be people complaining it's not cheap enough... I doubt a good portion of these streamers had to deal with the competitive nature involved in a lot of other ventures that would help build up the resiliency to negativity/exploitation that will come with success. More of them need to be careful and seek help if they start having negative thoughts.
