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

[Meat Target]

I may be stupid, but why were some of the emotes taken away anyways?

@Hollywood Hulk Hogan was somehow involved. I don't recall the details.

 

[Bastard_Call]

Holy fuck holy fuck holy fuck holy fuck
Hopefully that google doc comes soon and is more convincing then the one for Byuu. I genuinely want to see Twitter backtrack into oblivion if he is indeed confirmed alive.

And then Einstein clapped.

It's clearly a joke

I phoned the US Embassy in Minato, Tokyo, after you posted this.

Apparently they've been getting a lot of calls about David Ginder, and the level of concern was sufficiently high that they put in the effort of finding him. Anyway, turns out he's absolutely fine - they managed to track down his workplace and catch him there; he explained that he'd had a bit of a meltdown over the weekend but he's bounced back. They actually gave me his number, and I phoned him! We had a lovely chat and Dave explained that he's really embarrassed about everything and ashamed of what he put his internet friends through, so will probably stop posting on the internet for the foreseeable future - he said he saw it as a clean break and he's going to focus on going to therapy and making new friends in Japan. Dave even decided to use some of his savings to book himself into an exclusive ryokan (with a private onsen!) in Hokkaido - he's not taken a holiday in three years so his company's let him take a month off. Lovely bloke, it sounds like this was a real wake up call.

To respect Dave's privacy I will not be discussing this further. I will, however, put these details into an anonymous Googledoc and post it on twitter, so that various news outlets can publish a retraction.

I WANT TO BELIEVE

I honestly can't tell what's bait about it. The anonymous googledoc thing? Are you saying they're riffing on the original story? Satire/sarcasm isn't the easiest thing to detect here.

You have the tism it's fine 41 % of us here have it

 

[Karne Thistle]

I thought that if me supposedly being given someone's private phone number by the US embassy didn't tip people off, and then Near supposedly having a conversation with a complete stranger about his holiday plans didn't tip people off, the description of how a googledoc and "trust me bro, I'm not discussing it further" as evidence for news websites would

So you're saying you lied to us? In these emotional times? Not cool.

@Hollywood Hulk Hogan

What. Sorry after his first few posts I stopped reading what he had to say and also any conversation relating to him.

I don’t frequent it but given the fact that we get bitchy threads about users who do in the community subforum every 3-4 months I’m guessing it’s because the preponderance of meltdowns over meaningless internet high scores became untenable.

Well, unfortunately, I am an idiot. That complicates things sometimes.

Trippledog dare you to call again and record the call to post it here

 

[FearsReality]

Oh, come on, and Japanese police won't tell if some tranny gaijin from Arakawa killed himself? One of those should be true!

The case file will read as: バカ外人デッド、笑

 

[Basement Dwelling Dork]

We all care so much about Byuu that we all fell for obvious bait. Hoping this random asshole is still alive and well with some good news for a change.

But nah twitter cucks and trannys are gonna ignore these and keep screencapping any jokes and lie about the kiwi-facist-farms while reposting porn.

to celebrate over 400 pages of Byuu faking his death, take this video and enjoy!

That was like a whole damn movie, I'm not even sure what I feel right now.

It was pretty obvious guess but I understand the confusion because a lot of users here have the tism.
I have it too btw (I have ADHD,HPV,OCD,IBS.PTSD and autism) but even I understood

Apparently people in the thread can't read or are legit retarded, so honestly I wouldn't be surprised if this could be posted on Twitter and some troons buy it.

 

[MirnaMinkoff]

Whew, that settles it.

Tell Twitter that we called someone and they said something so case closed.

Well that’s how the whole thing started so it’s only fair it ends the same way.

Complained about a 13 page thread that was dead. Now there is 2 threads: one with 96 pages, and this one with 306 pages and more to come. How sweet.

I honestly think this was the point. He was really desperate for attention and mentally ill - what better way to get it than make the entire woke internet mourn your fake death.

Broke brain morons constantly fantasize about how sorry everyone would be about their demise. No one IRL care about this dude so he decided to make the internet autists weep for his fake death.

 

[stuffandthings]

Shaun (Breadtube) took notice (A) of Near's alleged suicide. He's referring to this post (A) in the Breadtube thread. Apparently we like to harass and threaten dox.
Why do all of these people extrapolate documenting (and doxxing) & discussion to harassment and bullying?


I can get not liking the site, (parts) of its userbase and the concept itself. This is trash entertainment for autists and degenerates who are good at hiding it, every Kiwi harbours a lolcow inside them. You're constantly active on platforms that favour you, meeting something so hostile to your way of thinking would be jarring for anyone. However, in what way does keeping receipts & gossiping, however mean-spirited constitute bullying? We like to watch people in the same vein you'd watch reality tv, for entertainment (much like Breadtubers delight in taking down individuals they find laughable). There is a difference between laughing at weirdness and delighting in causing suffering.

Something that needs to be addressed, though. One argument made by onlookers is that @Null 's statement did not refute the harassment of Byuu's friends. They're portraying it as deflecting and ignoring a key complaint made by Near. Do we know who Byuu's friends are/were? If so, were they ever documented and did they ever provide "proof" KF harassed them in any capacity?

One thing thing mentioned in the 13 page thread preceding this shitstorm is multiple posts suggesting that others in the EMU circle would be more threadworthy than Near. As in Near was boring, but could have been a potential hub to find better cows. If (big if) having a thread or threatening a thread is 'harassment' then I guess they were harassed.

Apparently people in the thread can't read or are legit retarded, so honestly I wouldn't be surprised if this could be posted on Twitter and some troons buy it.

According to a recently published paper by Columbia University, at least one in four Kiwis accept whatever shit happens to be in the thread at face value.

 

[axfaxf]

If Null doesn't delete my account, I will absofuckinglutely keep sitting at this bar drinking my brains out and shit post literal gay facts and nigger all over the fucking internet.

You tried to mess with The Farms.
Deus Vult, you nasty pedophile motherfuckers!

 

[it's called nyotaika]

I'm very interested in how this is going to play out if the guy is actually alive (very likely) and is found out (that part might be a bit harder if he's smart).

I wanna see the arguments of the twitter troons. "Oh yeah okay he didn't commit suicide but he could have so kiwifarms are bad".

On other news, is faking suicide illegal? I would assume there would be some sort of legal repercussions from doing that, but I know nothing about law.

it's not illegal, but using it to commit fraud is. hence the Totally Legit And Not At All Sus "dying words" for no donations or drives. gotta cover that ass.

It's so funny how Kiwifarms makes the rest of the internet extremely mad when we all just stay on our forum. 4chan's /pol/ was organizing raids and shit for ages. 4chan/8chan /v/ was doing gamergate ops for years, as faggy as that shit was. What does Kiwifarms do? Have you ever seen a kiwifarms poster in the wild? Someone going, "oh yeah, I'm a kiwifarms poster" on the greater internet? No? I've seen Chan guys do it though.

I'm pretty sure at this point the anger just comes from the forum having the audacity to document and point out bad behavior, even if that bad behavior never gets acted on. It was never about punishment, it was about laughs. I was pretty frequently in the Digibro thread and never once did I think I was punishing or was going to punish Digi. In fact, most people were pretty much like "damn it's sad this went this way but it's pretty fucking funny"

this whole "harassed off site by someone who said they're from kiwifarms" is the stupidest fucking con i've ever heard. what, so they can come back, say they did it, and get told en masse to eat shit for smearing shit on their face? where possibly would the reward be for a farmer?

why would they be anonymous on a website that has usernames? if they're so fucking apparently proud of their affiliation, get an ID.

who would willingly ID off site as a kiwi, anyway? we know full well we're all catty autists eagerly jacking it to trainwrecks. none of are actually proud to be amongst our own.

if someone who says they're from the farm is harassing you, that's someone you know with a vendetta against you who has the dox and wants plausible deniability they're not who they are. hence the horrific abuse byuu & co recieved from "us" when there wasn't even a fucking dox for any of them on the site.

if you're getting called a faggot anonymously from someone repping kiwifarms, all it means is the call is coming from inside the house ya fucking freier.
