There is no other side to it.

Kiwifarms harasses people, in groups, for long periods of time. They do this for their own entertainment. When their targets kill themselves to escape this harassment, *they fucking cheer for it*.

How the fuck are you sitting here defending and minimising this?

This is such a lie. Anyone who peeked at Byuu’s thread yesterday when the news dropped would instantly run into replies practically excited over it, there’s plenty of screenshots to go through being posted on Twitter before the DDOS. You can try to minimize the language being used here all you want, the intent is clear.

Did you make an account here just to make this comment?

Kiwifarms people always, always, and always lie about what they do.

The collection of users on KF doesn't mean shit. The OWNER of the site himself didn't want the man to possibly off himself, let alone the fact that said owner (Null) was willing to work with Byuu.

Again, Byuu tried to extort Null. You don't just say "I'll give you any amount of my 120,000 in life savings, but if you don't accept my offer then I'll do something drastic!"

And oh look, he did, and he's probably lying about his "suicide" too which is even worse.

Twitter does the same thing, but you have no issue with it because they aren't doing it to pedophiles like Byuu.

None of you have an issue with harassment, you have an issue when someone dares to gossip about people from your clique.

This is derangement. Byuu spent all of their time maybe ‘poorly’ dealing with harassment along with being a huge contribution to emulation circles, you’re equating cancel culture to them for what reason? Because they didn’t say anything about your favorite conservatives? This logic goes nowhere and so there’s simply no discussion to get out of this. God knows how many social or financial conservatives are on this site and still no one believes you.

I’ve seen the thread myself, this was not gossip and you guys do not act as moral arbiters just because one end of ‘cancel culture’ didn’t harass a key developer in emulation just because they were transgender. I’m not even going to entertain the ‘pedophilia’ claim. You people aren’t fooling anyone here, you can’t even fool /vr/.

You're willing to dismiss his problematic views (pedophilia) because of his contributions to the gaming community? Funny how that never applies to the FNAF dev when he gave $2k to a milquetoast republican politicians.

As with all of you people, you deny your bad actions while exaggerating and lying about your opposition. The archives show that he (labeled himself with those pronouns) was never targeted for being trans, he was targeted for pedophilia.

I’m willing to dismiss their “problematic views” because the only “problematic views” they were harassed for in that thread was being “a troon” and “extorting” Null, and now that all hell broke loose, they’re suddenly a “Pedophile”. You can name all the victims of ‘cancel culture’ that I don’t know of, it doesn’t change anything here. You guys harassed them and cheered when you were blamed and now you’re justifying it. You’re no better.

Kiwi is back up, you might as well give up on this account and head back now because this is not the hugbox you expect it to be.

You guys also cheered on Zoe Quinn during the Gamergate bullshit. Alex Holowka is dead because of Zoe Quinn and the mob she riled up to go after him. The only "proof" that anyone had was just Quinn saying "Yeah I don't like him and he did stuff to me!" Y'all cheered on a woman who made an innocent man kill himself.

What about the millions of Redditors who caused a man to kill himself because they doxxed him and made people think he was one of the Boston bombers? Again, you people gatekeep and point fingers at anything that goes against the grain. It's ridiculous.

Byuu is a pedophile, the proof is right fucking there, we've known this before 2020. Why the hell do you people do this bullshit? Have some compassion for ALL people, not just the people who agree with your same political bullshit.

Who’s “you all?” Do you have a thread of people on Hacker News, contrarian central by the way, ‘cheering’ on Zoe Quinn and Alex’s death or are you cherry picking moments that simply went against your ‘grain’? Is that why you signed up two days ago?

Read between the lines sweetie: You guys harassed Byuu and cheered when you were blamed and now you’re still finding ways to justify it. I’m a grown man sad to see an emulation developer gone. You’re no better than any other harassment hive mind.

I know what a ‘cub’ is and knowing your ilk I wouldn’t be shocked to find 2D teen ahegao porn on your hard drive, if you actually had substantial proof you would have let japanese authorities know. Too late for that though huh

Get the fuck out of here, monster.

The lowlives are now all creating accounts here to come and try to justify their depravity. Liars and sociopaths, the lot of them.

Unlike you, they aren't self-unaware hypocrites who constantly harass others only to whine when it's done to them. You're doing them a favor because they don't need your respect.

One could provide an overly-reductionist definition of nearly anything to make it sound innocuous. "Gossiping" in this case goes so far as to be incorrect. The post goes into detail on this and says that they targeted Near and the people close to them by doxxing them, harassing them, and specifically seeking out people they thought that they could convince to commit suicide. Gossiping is "rumor or talk of a personal, sensational, or intimate nature." This is a targeted campaign of harassment.

Most would agree that someone who verbally and mentally abuses their spouse to the point of suicide is responsible for their death, or at least played a significant role in bringing it about.

This is not a matter where somebody took their own life to make the point that their opinion is superior to their critics. This is a matter where people sought out and abused someone in an emotionally vulnerable state that saw suicide as their only way to escape from that abuse.

Ignoring your deliberate misgendering of a nonbinary person, they didn't get to keep their job and income. They also permanently lost both of those (and all future potential for those), along with their life.

If you're going to make bad faith comparisons to racists getting fired for being racists, at least have the audacity to point out what you think their offense was here. As far as I can tell, the only thing they did "wrong" was to be emotionally vulnerable and in the sights of a dedicated hate group.

If you've looked at the thread archive, it shows that the guy was harassed for his pedophilia. So kudos to you for dying on that hill since it shows that your commitment to keeping "communities safe" is a farce.

Additionally, he had $120k while living in Japan and was able to afford medication. He was well off and wealthy.

Was he a pedo, or was dyn just bitching about anime avatars again?

Byuu had a twitter account called "Myuu" which was full of furry art and lewd imagery that alluded not to adult characters, but underage looking "cub" characters. Byuu's furry persona was of an underage-looking "wolf dragon" character, that wore diapers and used pacifiers.

Along with Byuu's personal interest in using underage-looking characters for his own use, he also took the time to make a giant argument about the semantics and legality of lolicon and shotacon, which also is archived here.

'kay. He was a terrible person. Fine.

If he was indeed harassed to suicide would this hold in court though?

Taking justice into your own hands is dodgy business. A guy has died. Will there or will there not be consequences? Was his sick fuckery worth it to ruin the lives of whoever contacted him? Because this may very well result in that
