Inactive Byuu / byuu_nyan / setsunakun0 / Near / David Ginder - "Non-binary" furry programmer who wrote a Super Nintendo emulator, tried to blackmail Null into removing his thread, and is probably actually dead lol

[Alligator Alcatraz]

A few weeks ago I was in a target near me and I saw fucking cookie jars in the front discount cheap shit area for $5 that looked EXACTLY like the "urn" in the photo and I was so fucking tempted to buy one as a joke but didn't because money. I went there today they all seem to be gone, things must've sold well enough. Must've been a LOTTA dead people. My hypothetical bodycount from continuing to exist fucking skyrocketed it seems.

This one?

They worship Byuu, and he isnt the first developer to be worshipped in the community. A bit of a rabbit hole to give some context on the Nintendo hacking community:

I used to be a part of the Nintendo Switch hacking discords. Early on in the life of the console, when the gay-named "fusee gelee" (the first exploit used to hack the Nintendo Switch) was released by the trannies on gbatemp.net.

My reasoning being there was the same as most people: if you wanted to hack your bingbingwahoo machine, there simply weren't any of the foolproof guides we have today. You had to join their discords to ask the developers themselves or use gbatemp threads covered in "piracy is bad, mkay?" statements. These weren't just discords dedicated to the software and console--they used these discords for their dev buddies.

The "Atmosphere" custom firmware's discord server, named Reswitched, was pretty strict on who gets to see what channels and what you can ask. They are quick to throw you into the gulag if you mention piracy or gamer words. The discord which I relate to developer worship is a bitterly-named spinoff named "REIswitched". It served users of the now defunct custom firmware (CFW) named "Rei NX", named after the developer "Reisyukaku (Rei)". This CFW project didnt care about piracy and was more about designing friendly end-user CFW without the settings modifications that Atmosphere needed. Also anime lolis. You can guess where this is going. Unfortunately, I do not have any screenshots of those days because my ass just wanted to pirate vidya.

Reiswitched users would talk about technical things, but they also often go off on sex-charged tangental discussions. Despite the server being comprised of adult males, there were many teenage males involved in discussions exchanging real life info probably due to the casual vibes over the Atmosphere discord. Hearsay: There was one moderator on the discord who was a teenage girl whom the lead developer and owner of the server Rei would flirt with in the public chats for all to see, however as I have ceased contact with these people I cannot relay the result of those discussions. Rei never answered technical questions himself, but would arrive for users to felate him, inserting himself into energetic discussions between many users. Often times when nobody asked questions about hacking, the discussions would turn over to hormone therapy and teasing "eggs" to transition.

For those who are familiar with Rei, he was the developer of the 3DS custom firmware "ReiNand". Reinand was the custom firmware of choice in early 3DS hacking until a contributing developer of Reinand named "Aurora Wright" got into a bitchfight with Rei because he made fun of trannies. Aurora Wright and a few other trannies left the project and made a fork with blackjack and hookers called "AuReiNand" custom firmware. People got upset that the name still referenced da mean ol transphobe so they renamed AuReiNand to "Luma3DS", named after the baby star characters from Super Mario Galaxy. To this day this is the firmware you will be recommended to use if you hack your Nintendo 3DS.

Gbatemp is where all of the furries, trannies, and groomers congregate to discuss vidya. There are many normal users there of course, but if you want to do anything technical you have to get involved with one of the trans users that still encircle the forum today like vultures, waiting to send discord invite links with the bait of "more detailed technical assistance".

Anyway, I just wanted to give some context of the kind of community Byuu and these other developers are a part of. Their lives are always in front of a computer, grooming in discord, and stroking their girldicks to anime. These Nintendo hacking circles are riddled with trannies who recruit vulnerable, impressionable youth and the mentally ill. They worship the developers in the scene and get into frequent ratfights. This is why nobody will even imply Byuu is not dead. To admit Byuu is dead is to air the hacking community's bullshit as a whole, and if there's anything men in dresses are afraid of it's facing reality.

They are quick to throw you into the gulag if you mention piracy

Given how Nintendo can be a bit sue-happy when it comes to this sort of stuff, I can't really blame these groups for wanting to keep up the veneer of "enabling homebrew" or "security research" when it comes to this sort of thing, even if piracy is the real reason 90% of the people use those sorts of tools. Getting known as the premier way to enable piracy on a platform is going to invite attention of an unwanted kind. Do them a favor and just play along.

after several months, I still do not understand how everyone was up in arms about Byuu's disappearance when beforehand Byuu's emulator was hardly ever mentioned in the emulation scene.

It’s because he was a non-binary furry who was cyberbullied because of his sexual preference and fetishes. Of course people are going to make him some sort of hero against the bad guys.

It's long been suspected by people in the know that sciresm the developer of atmosphere is actually in league with nintendo in some way. It is known that he is or used to be a paralegal so its not far fetched to imagine he worked out some sort of deal with them. It also seems like he had some kind of insider information that helped him with the hacking of the system and despite his outward hardline stance against piracy I know for a fact that he secretly traded in the switch sdks (which are highly regulated to prevent this exact sort of thing).

because they all have a vendetta against the farms, just like Byuu did. They're all either degenerates, friends of people documented here or small time lolcows in their own right, just like Byuu.

 

[CockPockets]

Two-faced carry on about piracy and the likes happens constantly within these console hacking scenes. People think acting like that gives them some sort of goodwill against large corporations that could smite their project at any time. I don't know why anyone thinks this will actually defend them, especially when the truth is so easily found.
I figure they're so afraid because none of them can properly manage online handles without exposing personal information.

Aurora to trannies is what Tyrone and DeShawn is to niggers.

If you can't tell from their deep voice, their manhands, their jawline or their Adam's apple, their porn star esque name is a reliable tell.

I'm just looking forward to proving, without any reasonable doubt remaining, that he is indeed alive, and this has all been one huge gayop from start to finish.

Furthermore, all of the console hacking scenes are run by what is essentially a mafia. To get things like developer tools, sdks, dev kits and learn the ins and outs of console hacking, you essentially need to enter into a debt with one of the shadowy figures who controls that scene. Then they have you in their pocket and can and will call in favors with you to help grow and support their cabal. Part of this involves having you compromise yourself legally so they know you can be trusted and that if they go down for anything they can tie you to it.

This might sound like lunacy on its face, but to some people it really is srs business. These same people at the top are the ones selling flash chips and drive mods etc and raking in millions, so at the highest level its not completely about the discord clout like you might think.

Very much so. At the highest levels only is where the money is made and most of those guys arent actually technically proficient, but they are good at running these businesses and getting people in their pocket. If you are a young programmer who wants to get anywhere in the console hacking scene you basically need to kiss the ring first and then they will provide you with help from their more experienced hackers as well as things like development tools and stolen documentation for the platform. By having a monopoly on the information they can exert that kind of control. It's also why the worst thing you can do if you are involved with them is leak what they give you. It brings heat and it opens up their monopoly which is why they've been known to put CP on peoples computers in retaliation.

The top level people don't actually get involved in the day to day, they just make sure that anyone promising ends up working for them. You won't ever hear their name and they don't use discord like the front facing guys do.

[oh no im late for school]

the 21st is byuu's birthday and it's like 3pm in japan so i hope he's having a really nice birthday afternoon, the kind that makes a person really glad to be alive

 

[FarCentrist]

Happy birthday Byuu. Wishing you a long and fruitful life, unlike your tranny comrades.

 

[Varretnon847]

A bit late but yeah happy birthday Byuu, I hope all that chaos you caused last year was worth it. As for your emulator, it's cool but Snes9x is better.

Apologies if this information about Derrick Sobodash's claims was posted before.

So I found this comment on a deviantart post from 16 October 2021 from an account under the name sobodash and considered it worth documenting. https://archive.md/K8gTN.
While I can't comment on the validity of any of these statements (very well may be straight bs or maybe some kind of gayop?) this post seems to be from Derrick Sobodash who has been mentioned in this thread in the past and is a known associate of Byuu. Some of the highlights include:
1) Him claiming to being the one who doxxed byuu's location to the Japanese police the night of his supposed suicide
2) that drugs and hormones were the ultimate cause of the suicide
3) that he contacted Null with this information shortly after.
Anyways complete pile of shit or not I felt it was worth a mention.

Kiwifarms has shown a document of the obituaries of US expats to Japan, where the emulator Twitter member Byuu was believed to have committed suicide. The document shows there was no person in June who committed suicide in Japan. Ergo, Byuu faked his own death and the fiasco on Twitter that spelled over to FA's forum was unwarranted. I knew that people wanting to go to war with Kiwifarms over this was misplaced. Byuu didn't kill himself and he faked his own death. Some people on FA's forum owe me a big apology. Of course, knowing how cowardly people on there are I don't expect to get one, but I told you so. Way to try to go to war with Kiwifarms over inaccurate intelligence. Sure all you Twitter reactionaries have egg on your face over this now!

People on the forum got out their pitchforks over nothing, a hoax, a farce, but nobody would listen to logic and reason. Nah, let's all be sentimental with crocodile tears and controlled aggressions.

Bottom line: Twitter and Fur Affinity's forum are a bunch of sentimental crocodile cheers woke protectors who will white knight for someone who fakes their own death.

The US Citizen Deaths Overseas database is updated every six months. It says it right on the page. This is why if you search 2021 it only shows deaths in Japan in January-May. It would be surprising that after recording deaths by suicide almost every month, people suddenly stopped killing themselves in May. Isn’t it more likely that it just hasn’t been updated?

Every autistic retard on the Internet has been so eager to use Dave’s death for his own agenda that no one sees the real picture.

This wasn’t about being bullied to death. After his childhood that would make no sense. This was just the sad death of a sick individual who refused to get professional help and instead attempted to self medicate and self mutilate for self-diagnosed problems in some of the most extreme ways imaginable.

Some people see his emails to Joshua Moore and imagine it’s an elaborate master plan to ensnare KF in an extortion scheme. Some people see it as an honest, if foolish, attempt to buy an end to bullying.

If you step back and look at it objectively, the reason it makes no sense is because he was not right in the head and wrote it while swimming on a cocktail of mood altering drugs and hormones he had been taking for months with no medical supervision.

I lost a friend of 20 years. This was the second person at my wedding reception to die. Almost every day I run across something we worked on together or an old joke and I remember the person I shared it with is gone.

When he died, I was the one who had to spend more than an hour on the phone with his husband, listening to him cry as I tried to piece together the last three years since Dave moved to Japan. None of the retards he had surrounded himself with online the last few years even knew he had a husband or how to reach him, so that was a fun experience. None of them even knew his name: I had to dox him in the middle of the night so police could claim the body before he started to rot.

I had to help his husband weigh the options the embassy gave him for dealing with Dave’s remains while having no money after being out of work 16 months, his meager savings wiped out by COVID, no life insurance policies because young people think they are invincible, and no chance at using Dave’s accounts in Japan until after going through probate, which would take months. I listened to him wail about how Dave never said goodbye, never emailed him, and how he earnestly believed he must have written a suicide note that the police would find, and that he probably wrote one to me too.

I knew there wouldn’t be any notes: his head was fried on medicine and nothing he was thinking was normal or made sense.

If you guys end up being right and Dave’s family and I went through all this for a hoax, I will be very hurt and angry. Though to be honest, that wouldn’t be that much different from how I already feel.

1) Don't make fun of autists on my page.

2)I don't believe a single word of this.

3) If true, ya boi "Dave" as you called him would have attempted to bribe Null with over a thousand dollars to delete a thread about him, very sus indeed.

4) Nobody cares who you are, you're probably some reactionary from Twitter.

Spoiler: 2nd reply by sobodash

I don’t have a Twitter.

I’m sorry you don’t believe a word of this.

Null said the same thing when I attempted to contact him the week after Dave’s death when I had been in contact with the family. I offered him photos of Dave and his husband at my wedding as evidence that I’m probably the only person online who actually knows them both. I had assumed he would dump them on KF and shame me somehow, but he disregarded it. I was contacted by a number of KF users after Dave’s death though. They mistook me for him for a bit but eventually realized I’m just an old fart ROM hacker who knew him.

I will say whatever I want about autists. You can delete and block me since you don’t believe me anyway.

Spoiler: 2nd reply by JaredtheFox92

Ironic considering some people bitched on FA's forum about this came from Twitter.

This is all fishy with "Dave" trying to bribe Null.

It doesn't help your case and it only makes you look invalid if you choose to do so. Nobody has sympathy for people who look down upon others. The question is: Why are you here on Deviantart if you're just going to insult people and disregard anyone's suspicions about your claims?

Spoiler: Final reply by sobodash

I was googling for Dave this morning because I was thinking about him a lot yesterday. Your post was one of the first that came up.

Many years ago I used to have a blog and I wrote an entry about a childhood experience. In Boy Scouts, I shared a tent with Mike Conat, a kid who two years later would blow off his sister’s head with a shotgun and plot to kill his parents. He was tried as an adult and his case has become a landmark in Michigan juvenile law. But looking at his mug shot I had a hard time remembering him as anything other than the kid who shit his underwear full of diarrhea and left them on the bathroom floor for the scoutmaster to find. I remember he threatened to make everyone try them on if no one owned up to doing it.

Two years after I wrote that, Mike’s sister’s best friend replied. She had been googling for her friend, and my words struck a nerve because while I only saw the boy who shit his pants she saw the man who took away her best friend.

The experience of a random person finding another random person online when searching one day for a dead friend always stuck with me.

You have a small blog on DeviantArt and I have been wanting to say something about what happened with Dave for months. I feel better telling one person about his end even if they don’t believe me.

It would have been nice if you did, but I’m glad you at least heard what I had to say. I miss Dave being around and I always run across things we worked on together. I am not sure what I’ll ever be able to complete or release, but it’s weird knowing that’s all that’s left of him.

I hope you find whatever you need to find to put your theories about Dave to rest. The day after he died and the denial stories began, my brother and sister-in-law were being hassled at work by KF users trying to track down any connections to Dave. My brother said Dave just became the Tupac of the Internet: I feel kind of sad that’s proven true.

If we hit January and there is no record in that database of an American citizen killing himself in July, I’m going to be even more hurt.

The second people sent me photos of his Twitter, I knew something terrible had happened. Dave was the most private person I have ever known, and even all the people he was associating with at the time of his death did not know his name.

He had to know that someone would contact me and ask what was going on, and I would immediately dox him to get the police involved. If he was just trying to burn an identity, as he had tried before, I am sure he would have contacted me to say, “Hey, whatever crazy shit you see the next month, do not under any circumstances dox me. Trust me. I will contact you eventually.” It wouldn’t be the first time.

I think I would have trusted him. In his own words, I had known him longer than anyone alive excluding his own mother, who he cut off contact with after running away from home in 1999. Many years more than his husband.

If Dave is alive, that means one of two things:

Both Dave and his husband lied to me, and his husband isn’t that clever by half.
Alternatively, Dave lied to both of us, paid someone in the embassy to call his husband, and then fleeced him out of his funerary costs while knowing what financial hardship he was in (supporting three nephews who he loves like his own children).

That is so evil. I cannot imagine that being the actions of someone I have known and trusted for so long. If Dave does turn up alive, I am going to be very upset because after 20 years I didn’t know him.

It’s hard to say how much you can ever really know someone. Dave appears to have lied to his husband about his intentions with trying to transition. He was advised by the people online who were mailing him hormones of how he could find a doctor and pay him cash after hours to have his testicles removed. No psychological screening necessary. No record. His husband took him for that surgery and told me how scared he was, but he trusted Dave and believed him that it wasn’t about gender reassignment. And after he left for Japan he was getting all these hormones and mood-altering drugs handed to him by random people online and medicating himself with no supervision.

Knowing what that kind of medication does to people’s stability and ability to think rationally, I believe that was the cause of his incredibly irrational behavior in contacting Joshua Moon on the night of his death. His total lack of fear about me doxxing him is another red flag to me that he was sick and not thinking.

Maybe January will roll around and I’ll be wrong, but that won’t be any easier to live with.

so odd that these dweebs will whine so much about how we killed a "PROUD" """NON-BINARY""" furry and not once use the they/them pronouns for David. You think the ones in support of him would prefer to use the non-binary pronouns for someone who considered us transphobic.
