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

[TaimuRadiu]

So what's the conclusion of that thread?
The farm is guilty?
Null is the culprit?
Byuu is dead because of... "us"?
Case still pending?

Byuu died and it was probably Hector Martin egging him on to kill himself. Byuu had his own problems; he had a husband in Ohio, he was secluded in Japan, I don't know if he was in Japan when the pandemic hit but if he were that wouldn't have helped any since if he left Japan during that time he wouldn't be able to get back into the country.

Since the thread was bumped, I guess it's a good time to crosspost this:

Hector's (former) close friend, Luna Foxgirl, believes that Hector "might share blame" for the Byuuicide.

The snippet above is from Hector's most recent hitpiece against Luna: https://archive.is/DkrH9
Some other highlights here: https://kiwifarms.st/threads/hector...s-asahi-lina-asahi-linux.169453/post-21337017

Luna has contemplated suicide recently due to Hector's ceaseless harassment. [1] [2] Big Thunk...



And he already attempted it at least once before:

Luna eventually did attempt suicide, and he blamed Marcan.

Also, Luna warned last year that Hector (and his troon boyfriend Cyan) "will end up sending someone to the grave eventually." There are allegedly multiple people at risk of this.

So yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if Hector Martin really was partially responsible for Byuu's suicide. I can imagine Hector whispering poison into Byuu's ear at his lowest point - possibly convincing him that the ""harassment"" from KF/RetroArch/etc would never end, that his life would never improve, and that there was no other way out. (Obviously, this is just speculation.)

I was always suspicious about how quickly & eagerly Hector used Byuu's death as a cudgel against people Hector personally disliked...

I wouldn't be surprised if Martin was in love with Byuu and had the attitude of "if I can't have him, no one can." Which ironically enough would make him a true transsexual and totally fembrained.

Since this got upped due to false accusations being rehashed by cows, as usual...

Is there any explanation for why Near/Byuu's alleged death is inconsistent with data from the US State Dept? There's a 6 week discrepancy between the date of death and the last American suicide in Japan for that year.

Whether he kicked the bucket or just quit the internet, either way, I hope he becomes less gay. Also, much props for working on SNES emulation -- even if Snes9x works fine, he still did heavy lifting for the scene, and having an emulator that maxes out accuracy is no doubt useful on the technical side of things.

The State Dept is known for being one of the most unreliable departments in government. Null received the FOIA confirming Byuu's death but he couldn't even verify that it was a true FOIA and only believed it when a forum user independently sent and received his own FOIA.

Hardin has called the DoS specifically a FOIA "black hole" which is always more obtuse and retarded than any other government agency.

According to MuckRock, the State Department's average response time is 514 days and the FOIA success rate is 12%. No wonder it's called a black hole.

I can't be bothered to look through but apparently in the FOIA docs there are different/vague causes of death, so maybe the information that it was a suicide just didn't get to the department in time to update their page. Who the fuck knows.

Look through the docs yourself, it's not just an alleged death unless you're schizo enough to believe somebody or a group of people perfectly faked hundreds of legal documents with a large portion of them being handwritten and/or in Japanese and directly naming several real people whose identities were not public or known up until this point.

Fair enough, then. But the whole thing feels kinda "off", like I could understand if the State dept date was later, but why earlier? I've seen speculation on this elsewhere too.

But either way, the farms dindu nuffin.

I think it feels off because Byuu was legitimately so recluse and such a shut-in that an actual death was indistinguishable from logging off the Internet for almost 4 years. As has been pointed out many times before, Byuu wasn't your typical fully phonebooked cow that we knew everything about. Until he died, we didn't even know his legal name.

Please explain the one dox vs the other dox, why both are necessary to verify

Somebody (it's still not known who) received a FOIA in December 2023 (that's the one with all the known legal documents we have), and forwarded it to Null. However, it wasn't listed in the public list of FOIA requests (although I think it is now), so he decided to send a FOIA to verify that the FOIA was a real FOIA, but never got a response.

I don't want to speak for Null too much, but I think he was legitimately skeptical of the FOIA sent to him. Remember, he wasn't the one who requested the FOIA, he was just sent some official-looking docs by a random person. If the government gave the FOIA to him personally, it would be a different story. Regardless, another forum user eventually independently posted his own FOIA in April 2024, and so Null took that as independent confirmation that the FOIA he was sent was real.

I said it in another thread, i'll say it here. Read part of this section Byuu sent to Null again:

I can't live like this any more, it has wrecked my entire life. I really can't explain why this hurts me so deeply, and I know it's irrational. I can only tell you that I can't handle this anymore. "byuu" is all I have. I have no real-life friends, no identity off the internet, this is it. There's no other reason for my being but to try and emulate game consoles for people. I put my entire life into this.

But then people started showing up in servers I was in accusing me of pedophilia. It's difficult to be called something so horrendous. But still, I just ignored it completely. In February 2020, someone claiming to be from your site posted a dox list on Pastebin of several of my friends to 4chan's /emugen/ board. I lost one of my best online friends of ten years to that. https://twitter.com/talarubi if you must know. Yes yes I know, trans furry etc. I doubt you'd sympathize but the relationship meant a lot to me. She got so upset by having her personal information revealed that she blamed me and we haven't spoken since. In July 2020, Basil and Retrocrab on your board were trying to make a thread on another emulator developer, Arisotura, because of me, while she was suicidal. I know, again, trans, again, I don't expect you to care about these people. But they were my friends and they spent years helping me with my software. And then when Jacob, the dumbass that he was, tried to help me, he got on your bad side and someone named Ritter doxed him in January 2021. I haven't heard from him since either and I don't even know if he's okay or not. He's not my friend, but, I didn't want this to happen to him.

I suspect what happened based on this message is, for whatever reason, likely because he was the only one they felt Kiwi Farms didn't attack(jealousy, or just picking on the weak because while i don't know EVERYBODY around byuu, the few i do exhibit predator like behavior) they pressured Byuu into stopping Kiwi Farms. And, because these were the only people he had around him, the only thing in his life going for him, for them to shun him, shut him out for a thing that wasn't even his fault, likely pressure him to do something about KiwiFarms, it drove him to desperate places. Wouldn't be out of the question that the suicide was a "I will atone with my life" situation. Whatever is the case, the point of this is that Hector, who claims to be a friend of Byuu, very likely took part in this bullying of which Hector either doesn't understand how A led to B, or doesn't care because no bad tactics, only bad targets.

That's just my 2-cents on the matter anyways.

 

[TaimuRadiu]

We know Martin was one of his IRL friends and I thought he was actually in Japan at the time. There's a lot of funny business going on with this death. Should I go back to being a Byuu truther?

TBH, I always felt it was more Byuu's own gayops (vetting for a KF member on various Discords in order to get his thread taken down), and his being fucked up on whatever HRT and/or street drugs he was taking.
