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.

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
