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

This thread tag is now infinitely funnierView attachment 5877922
Somehow, I don't think David will be coming out of his cookie jar any time soon.
I'm doubting Byuu's death less, but I still don't buy the cookie jar. You died with a decent amount of savings and they put you in a Wish.com cookie jar? For who? Us? Nobody loved him enough to display them.
 
I am not surprised at all. If he were still alive, that N64 emulator he left incomplete would still be receiving updates under a different name that everyone outside of the farms would swear up and down isn't David Ginder. There would be some kind of breadcrumb trail. But nope, nothing, and no one could come up with any kind of evidence he was still around.
 
If only @CIA Nigger didn't get his troll's remorse and just left things well-enough alone, no one would've cared who byuu was and byuu would've just fed himself his own rope freaking out over a dead thread.

Well I mean, he still got his own rope anyway goading on someone with mod powers to abuse them, I just don't think the blackmail extortion would've exactly happened the way it did. Null most likely still would've said "no" anyway, just with an added "Literally who?" to it. Think Hector or someone else talked him into sending the email, and then cheered him on as he fastened the noose?

Thank Kek for bureaucracy being slower than slugs, it allowed the heat to die down (and for some lulz to happen) before a conclusion was made. Better late than never, I suppose, and the milk still flows.
 
The thing that gets me is that the outcome where byuu masterminded a plot to get the Farms taken down, then went off into the sunset like the end of a movie, likely to continue his livelihood completely detached from the situation is the one that makes byuu into a more interesting and successful character. Instead he just an-hero’d like every other mentally ill loser who couldn’t take the heat, even when he could’ve just gone under another alias like the many times before. Iirc he didn’t even have a confirmed dox at the time of the byuuicide, so it’s not even like you could argue that the KF thread was a permanent cudgel over his head.
Faking his death would have made him a legendary "magical" figure in the annals of KF history. The mystery of his post-"death" whereabouts and circumstances lent him a lot of mystique. Learning he was just another run-of-the-mill 41 percenter is extremely disappointing.
 
The Byuuicide is what finally made me make an account here way back when and I was staunchly sure he was still alive. Over time though, I've started to think he might have actually be gone it as it's near (heh) impossible to disappear completely like he had. He was either working with military grade opsec to hide his new identity or was actually Hector/a different troon all along. Or actually dead, which appears to be the case now.

Such a pointless death accomplishing nothing. I hope it was worth it.
 
I like how I can still be schizo about it and say a dude managed to fool two governments and fake his death to make a site look bad. There's still a chance bros

Also didn't Null talk about how he tried to blackmail the site prior to it? I might be misremembering it.
How would he fool both the US and the Japanese though? Presumably they had a medical examiner look at the body and they confirmed "yep, this is a dead guy". The only feasible way that I can think of that he pulled this off is if he had an associate who was suicidal, they agreed to swap identities, and then the associate committed suicide, was rubbed stamped as Byuu, and then hurriedly cremated before he could be ID'ed. Which is a lot of hoops to jump through for a plan which may or may not have some New Zealand agricultural website shutdown.

I personally believe that the suicide was meticulously preplanned and there was no option for "Null to prevent it by just deleting the thread". I remember when the Hector Martin (?) letter first came out shortly after his "death", and it was obviously preemptively written with a clear target/call to action in mind. I think the likely reality is that Byuu is dead and he killed himself, but I also believe that he drank the tranny Kool-Aid and collaborated ahead of time with Martin to put an end to those biggoted Kiwifarmers.
