So some dude posted about getting Erik the Slayer as a follower in Skyrim. He then proceeded to sacrifice Erik to the deadra Boethia. He humorously called him "Erik the Slayed". The r/Skyrim community started freaking out (I laughed personally) because Erik the Slayer was an actual TES fan that died of cancer. Bethesda honored Erik West by creating a character named after him. Erik never actually got to play Skyrim because he died before they released the game.

Consequently the dude got downvoted to hell. Some of the funniest shit happens on that sub.
