The Great Twitter Meltdown of 2021 - Emulator creator Byuu bullied to death by HateSpeech™ forum, Twitter takes up arms (Still No Death Report)

[C.U.N.T.]

Clutching at straws a bit here,

the first comment on the Alcest - Les Voyages De L'Âme video relating to Near is from someone called David (sort by newest comment first and scroll down) added 1 day ago (and edited too), but i cant tell when or what the original comment say

the only video they have on their account is how to add a USBC connector to an ipod nano

I wonder....

im clutching at straws a bit arent i?

The guy in that video has a British accent, byuu is a yank but worth a try.

What did you guys do in your off time? I played some chivalry 2 and did some arts and crafts.

Shot the shit w friends while replaying ace attorney investigations.

I'm new here and all I see is scared children, insecure in their own sexuality, desperately lashing out at others.

It's absolutely pitiful and a sad indictment on all of your parents.

Good luck in civilised society, you dismal chumps.

A fair amount of us are LGBT. We've had ex mods and "probably" current mods that are also trannies.

Seethe, cope, dialate, and join the 41%.

 

[RollerGator]

Played Factorio.

Chivalry 2 is better. I cut 3 heads off in one swing of my halberd in free for all mode. It was glorious!!

 

[Anonymus Fluhre]

Imagine if he does this and turns into a god tier Kiwi Farmer.

We have @Fancy Bear why would we need him?

 

[Pinochet Was Right]

The dox for Near is "Nate River"

I don't believe this was posted here. IGN made an article about us:

Near, the programmer behind the BSNES emulator and the fan translation of Bahamut lagoon, took their own life over the weekend, prompting an outpouring of grief from the emulation community.

Really shows the state of gaming journalism when game journalists can shit out an article saying a person killed themselves when there is proof that he didn't lol

If this little faggot didn't end himself, he might have to now considering every single retarded game journalist has him listed as a dead, lol.

Going to be funny when in a discord or text message or tweet he outs himself as alive.

 

[Ebonic Tutor]

When he turns out alive it'll all be, " I had to fake my own to death to escape the harassment of them mean evil kiwi farmers!"

 

[Pinochet Was Right]

See how the NPC narrative update went to "poor byuu was so reclusive nobody ever knew who he was" to "KEEWEEFIRMS STALKED HIS HOUSE AND SUICIDED HIM BY CALLING HIM A FAG UNTIL HE BECAME AN HERO"

 

[Happy Fish]

Seems like they ran to the bank or woke up or finished their dilation session or whatever

 

[Jagraveen]

Damn, these leftoids are just going to keep dialating, even in the middle of the fucking night, huh?

 

[Useful_Mistake]

What did you guys do in your off time? I played some chivalry 2 and did some arts and crafts.

Played some Victoria 2, and a bit of Team Fortress 2.

I don't think I saw this one, thanks!

 

[Anonymus Fluhre]

By the way. It should be noted that Byuu/ Near should be around 38 years old if anyone is looking for him
1997 was when he was working on localizing games according to this Vice article. 1998 was when he started to work on Bahamut Lagoon

A 23-Year Perfectionist Journey to Localize the Obscure 'Bahamut Lagoon'

The programmer Near is best known for historic work on SNES emulation. That only happened because of an old JRPG they've tried to localize five times.

Narrative shift. Apparently Vic is somehow personally responsible for the tranner's death. Am I the only one impressed at the lightning speed with which #GamerGate and #WeebWars were both connected to this?





What's that there, Jordie? Takatakataka... enhance... takatakataka... ENHANCE...

Captain, I believe I've located a faggot.

 

[Beltboy]

Site went down for a split second, thank god for Null and his tenacity.

I'm curious, have there been actual cases of harassment that originated from the Farms?
