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

[AssignedEva]

For people who weren't autstically following the thread, the evidence for David Kirk Ginder killing himself is precisely as follows:

• An anonymous friend of Byuu's claimed to have been on a call with him when he offed himself via drug overdose. This was disclosed via a GoogleDoc that Hector posted.
• Hector claimed to have spoken to a police officer that confirmed it
  • Japanese police officers are not legally allowed to disclose information like that to people who are not next of kin
• Anonymous friend purportedly took a photograph of Byuu's corpse in his apartment, but has refused to post it
  • Japanese police would not allow access to a crime scene
• Hector claims to have a copy of Byuu's death certificate, although he has refused to post it
  • It's unclear how he would have obtained the death certificate
• A photograph of an urn with David Kirk Ginder written on it was posted
  • You can just buy these
• Wayne Beckett, the Hong Kong based founder of Datapower Development, purportedly employed Byuu and confirmed this death to USA Today (it's worth noting that "Wayne Beckett" posted it in this thread first, so they might have just lifted it off here).
  • Digging revealed Byuu's workplace was likely Cyber Gadget Corporation/サイバーガジェット in the KSK building in Chiyoda, which manufactures reverse engineered hardware for vintage video games. They do have links to Wayne Hughes Beckett/ウェインヒューズベケット as an "inventor" (likely patent holder) but they became divorced from their parent company a few years back. None of the employees found has mentioned anything about a colleague dying, and only 23 people work there.

The evidence against David Kirk Ginder killing himself is precisely as follows:

• There has been no mention of this death in any Japanese media for David Ginder or any Japanese transliteration of that like デビッドギンダー, despite the fact they normally would post something about a Gaijin suicide
  • This has also specifically included trawling papers in Arakawa Ward, where Byuu claimed to live (on the 14th floor of an apartment building with a balcony)
• There has been no obituary posted by any of his family members in any of their local newspapers
• The US Department of State has not disclosed any suicides of American citizens on or around the 27th of June in Japan
  • Hector claims this is because the US Department of State does not have complete records, but this implies that Mexico has better record keeping than Japan, and ignores that updates are up to the last day of the month
  • The body was supposedly found straight away
• Byuu said his passport would be uploaded after his death as proof, and this was not done
• Byuu has suicide baited before and had a direct motive to pretend to kill himself

Desperate liar, lmao

Desperate liar, lmao

On some level he must know how fucked he'll be if the truth comes out since he's going to be attacked by both sides endlessly.

cant archive, but nothing for late june

Remove one from the death counter....

I know it won't happen, and it would be dumb, but man would it be funny to try and sue all the companies for not doing due diligence before reporting his suicide causing harm to the reputation of kiwifarms lol.

 

[Banana Cat]

2021 has truly provided some great milk from lolcows

 

[Aqua Panda]

In an ideal and just world, all the news sites that reported on it should issue a retraction.

Yeah, likely not going to happen, but it's shameful the way journalism has atrophied over the decades. Where is the actual follow up and fact checking? It's fucking sad the Farms are a better source of journalism than actual people who are paid to do it.

 

[How do I log in?]

ok this is pretty damning

at first i was thinking "hmm he died towards the end of june, but maybe jap cops only found the body in early july, so that's why he doesn't show up on the june death list"

but this dude claims that the jap cops themselves filed his death for june 27. if that were true, he wouls absolutely have to show up in the june death list

basically hector is now 100% confirmed to be a liar, beyond all doubt

I'd like to pre-emptively point out arguments to shut down the retards who will inevitably try and say he actually is dead.

If everything we know about Byuu from his first name being David to his last name being Ginder is false, it still doesn't matter. Nobody from the USA died in Japan in the entire month of June and we know that the report includes all deaths up to the end of June in other countries, so it's literally impossible for him to have killed himself. Unless Hector changes his argument to "I didn't call the cops and nobody from his friends to his job contacted him in two months so his corpse rotted right out of his noose and is still in that apartment" he has to admit he's a liar.

Which I don't expect by the way. Hector's gonna ignore all this or disappear forever.

 

[Falcerer]

This is why you shouldn't rely on RNG for your fake suicide speedrun, byuu.
Looks like you'll need to reset, again.

Maybe I'm retarded, but does Null not have a case for slander/libel here?

 

[Doctor Neo Cortex]

Well this sucks... We will have to take a point off the dead pool. We need to step our game up guys, because these numbers are rookie numbers.

 

[Chad Holdenford]

So, about those sites that posted obituaries and/or memorial pages for byuu, will they retract them?

But really, imagine being the very responsible of a total revolution for console emulation, something that really takes both Herculean effort and a near-genius level of coding mastery to pull out, only to throw it all away by being a massive sperg and attention whore in every possible way. Wherever he is, he better be ashamed for pulling such a poor attempt at attention grabbing. The internet is great for finding out lies and different points of view.

maybe? but thats an uphill battle to prove in a court. You need to prove not only that what he said was false, but also that it damaged your business. The Farms hasn't really seen a drop in users, and i very much doubt revenue has dropped at all, so it makes it hard to see it work out.

Assuming you can actually serve him, that is.

1) byuu's not fucking dead, that seems pretty false to me to claim kiwi farms killed him

2 & 3) the constant DDOSing that followed because of this and the downtime and cost for upgrading server hardware etc

4) Hector Martin is arguably more responsible than byuu for spreading this, so it's a good thing that he's retarded enough to use his real name

Depends if it fits their agenda, they may just never speak of it again due to it not fitting the kiwifarms bad train

But PROVING any of that isn’t worth it. Better to go to bed knowing you’re making the ladydick community seethe is payback enough. Might even push the 41% higher

 

[Umaru Doma]

See you all in six months, I guess.

 

[ScooterL]

Wtf am I even watching? Who streams themselves coding? It’s so boring and he’s not even interacting with anyone.

Worse, who streams themselves trying to run Linux on a Mac, when they could get the same performance on other laptops at a quarter of the price?

That alone proves that Hector is demented.

 

[Watcher]

So, about those sites that posted obituaries and/or memorial pages for byuu, will they retract them?

I don't think they will until a smoking gun is found. Something like a photograph of him in Japan being posted or a family member saying he's still alive and they wish people would stop harassing them over it. Until then it's all hearsay and it makes them look bad in twitter's eyes to buy into "Kiwifarms gossip". Until Byuu is proven without a shadow of a doubt to be still alive and perfectly well they won't start doing retractions.

Maybe I'm retarded, but does Null not have a case for slander/libel here?

Debatably but it's highly unlikely he will. Null doesn't care enough about this and there's no proof Byuu profited or actively was the one to ddos the website. He just passively benefitted from twitter outrage.
