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

[Thomas Paine]

God, it really is a small world.

Don't know if he would have attended this year, but he's very involved, having done artwork for the con in the past. He's familiar with the convention center and staff.
In a different timeline, maybe he could've even been maced by Chris.

Idk, why I cant reply to a post, however Hector sperging about 22 year old dating 16 year old (or so I understand). The thing is age of consent laws in all of Europe is much more permissive than in states. I think all of the countries it is under 18, and it is 16 in Spain. Hector is Spanish and according to Wikipedia and even though he went to American school, well things like that simply happen in Europe. It isn't unheard of for young adults to date high schoolers. People may look a little bit off, but nobody will call the police. It is not a big deal here.

I'd say that's purely power play on his part.

It's legal, but it's still considered creepy and people may say something and sort it out among themselves, the kid's parents and the adult's friends especially.

Why are you celebrating a furfag not killing himself?

We are sacrificing this world for entertainment. Watch as other furfags and retards try to conjur up explanations and details to prove we really are the murderers. Maybe a few of them might kill themselves from losing to the hateful and horrible KiwiFarm killers. I'm being optimistic though.

 

[totallyrandomusername]

You know, if he has managed to convince the government he is dead, it isn't illegal to kill him. A dead man can't be killed, right?

I’m in the camp that believes he thought we would have forgotten about it before the list came out. IMO, the real smoking gun is that he claims to have proof but won’t post it. Apparently it’s disrespectful, but letting people think your supposedly dead friend is a lying scumbag is just fine.

 

[King of Not Playing Games]

Yeah this could happen, but it was over 2 months and only proof of guys death is randos on the internet claiming yeah he is dead source trust me here is urn with his name on it.

No official document no statement from family nothing.


Official Story from Twatter post is Near hanged himself inside his apartment while being on phone call with guy who made post.

I just want to point out that at no point was it ever resolved who the Next of Kin was, what they decided to do with Byuu's remains, and if they paid the approximately six grand to have his remains cremated and brought to the US. And it was never resolved why a coworker of Byuu had the only photo on the internet of Byuu's urns, despite not having any authority to decide what to do with Byuu's remains, and despite having no obvious tangible connection to Byuu's family or whoever their Next of Kin could be.

So this isn't even like "The State Department didn't report it and that's all we're going on", it's like "we still literally have no idea about all this other confusing unresolved shit and on top of that, the State Department didn't report it". Hector's acting like each new nail in the coffin (heh) is the only weird, confusing, and fucked-up part of his claims, instead of another nail in the coffin.

EDIT: Also ALSO The Next of Kin clearly can't make those decisions until the State Department has a confirmation of the individual's death. Which means that by the time the photo of that urn was posted (July 15), Japan had already finalized a death certificate, provided it to the State Department, who then filed a DS-2060 and notified the Next of Kin, who then made the decision to have him cremated and his ashes brought ~somewhere~, coughed up the (minimum) six grand, and had the remains transferred to the urn (Even if Byuu is actually dead and his actual ashes are in that actual urn I refuse to believe for a fucking second that's the container his remains were shipped in). All in a little over two weeks. (And of course also sent the photo directly to one of Byuu's random coworkers, randomly).

All of that had to have taken place between Jun 27th and July 15th. And you're telling me that, with that timeframe, and with how early the death certificate must have arrived, somehow the State Department wasn't able to get it on their list in that timeframe?

big ups to @DiscoRodeo

 

[Pinochet Was Right]

The fact that people believed that byuu died with out any evidence just shows how gullible idiots on Twitter

Did they even believe it, or was it part of the Discord troon-op to Cancel K*w*f*rms?

Receipts for dox @Thomas Paine

Spoiler: Receipts/Process

Corroboration: Found his name via past brony con mentions.

His reddit corroborates this, full of brony shit

Found his twitter, Washington State confirmed, and makes mention of Pacific Time

Searches only bring up one guy in Washington, age 50, kind of weird to have a 50 year old Brony

Anyways, dude mentions being a fan of this on his wiki, @Thomas Paine does some real grunt work to find this from Michael Kraft Neylon

Pulls up some mention of destiny

Which he constantly posts about on reddit

Looks like we found our furry locking the wikipedia comments! Turns out, hes a 50 year old brony also accused of being a pedophile on redditpedia. Of course, it would be this guy running online ops for Byuu.

 

[ForTheHoard]

My favorite take from Twitter

 

[gay]

Did they even believe it

i doubt it, usually when people throw their suicide idealization onto social media people tend to reach out or get a wellness check of any sorts, instead they just took his letter at face value so they could immediately load the bullet into the chamber and use it as part of their agenda, Near as a corpse is valuable to them, him being alive (plus being a manipulative faggot) goes against their interest.

The United States won't let you revoke your citizenship until you almost certainly will get another citizenship, and Japan won't let you get a citizenship without speaking Japanese which Byuu by his own admission couldn't speak

Spoiler: citizenship sperging

The United States also generally requires an affirmative act evincing the definite intent to revoke citizenship, doing away with previous laws that allowed people to lose their citizenship accidentally. This usually involves actually showing up in person and going through a formal process. It can't be done online or over the phone. There are other ways of losing citizenship, such as for instance serving in the regular armed forces of another country, running for national office in another country, becoming a citizen of an enemy country (although they would often prefer to prosecute you as a citizen if you commit actual treason). In any event, the choice to renounce citizenship must be unambiguous.

Japan has never formally recognized dual citizenship at all, though for a period they grudgingly tolerated it, although more grudgingly than the United States does, which similarly does not recognize dual citizenship but does not penalize you for it in any way. Recently, though, they've really been charging hard on the issue, and while there aren't patrols sweeping the streets for such people, if they find out you have been secretly a dual national they'll force you to pick one or the other. I'm not sure if this is a long-term policy shift or just a short-term crackdown, but Japan (and Asian countries in general) have generally been more hostile to the concept of dual nationals.

Part of this is the scandal of the case of Tomoya Kawakita, a Japanese/U.S. dual national who went to Japan during World War II and was involved in the abuse of American POWs. When he returned to the U.S. after the war, he was tried and sentenced to death for treason. While this was ultimately commuted to deportation to Japan, it's often cited as part of the reason for hostility to such dual citizens and the conflict of interest it inevitably creates. And of course much of the rest of the hostility is Asian resentment of past colonialism and, more specific to Japan, their general xenophobia.

tl;dr the chances of Byuu having revoked his citizenship and gained Japanese citizenship is virtually nil.

 

[King of Not Playing Games]

Don't forget that it costs ~2,400 USD to affirmatively renounce your citizenship in the US. Also you're immediately charged capital gains taxes on all of your investments in full.

Yeah that's what we found, also matches up with his education/field of study

 

[MichaelScott]

If you go to the wiki of Byuu in Spanish, you can read the real story. Even an anti vandal bot restored the article a lot of losers tried to delete, a month ago.

Near (programador) - Wikipedia, la enciclopedia libre

es.wikipedia.org

The part that talks about all this drama, is not that well redacted, at least for my personal taste, it feels too informal.

Even the guy who first tried to delete the article, says Byuu is dead and we shouldn't listen to a bunch of neo-nazis. The fact that a BOT blocked his edition is sweet.

I bet my ass they're gonna read this and try to edit it.

Didn't he manage to learn Japanese in the end?
