Suicide of Near, bsnes and higan developer

[realtimesave]

Excuse me guys but I am still baffled on the anti-lgbtq+ posts that were in this thread earlier lol. that in itself seems like harassment. But I digress...

It should also be a matter of empathy to understand that somebody could be in a weakened mental and emotional state.
Not everybody is emotionally/mentally "strong"; is it morally OK to exploit this to manipulate and bring down people?

Not everyone is the same. So the best approach would be to adjust depending on the person. Adjust your expectations, adjust what you expect from a person. That's what seperates us from robots that run on auto pilot, to people that can adapt to different situations.

Sometimes people like to annoy other people. People see it as fun to do it. But there has to be a point even for those people where you just have to stop. You are pushing things to far. If your a reasonable person then you'll feel bad for your actions. But these people seem to lack that.

The primary issue here is that unfortunatly, most people seem to think that it is perfectly acceptable to express every indecent, depraved, obscene, illegal, immoral, degenerate, disgusting, and abhorrent thought that they've ever had when they think they will receive nothing but positive attention from the like-minded people that they euphemistically call "friends".

However, when the average person happens to find this information and recoils in disgust, it is now called "doxxing", "harassment", and "cyberbullying".

If any of those three things concern you, then there are simple ways to avoid having to deal with them.

Do you fantasize about having sex with children? Don't post it.

Do you create or consume sexualized images of children, people implied to be children, or anthropomorphic creatures implied to be animal/child hybrids? Don't post it.

Do you collect used diapers from dumpsters, then microwave and wear them? Don't post it.

Do you fantasize about having sex with animals? Don't post it.

Do you torture puppies with fire ants, then perform oral sex with their decapitated heads? Don't post it.

Do you strap yourself in a harness and let two other men shove all of their fists simultaneously up your anus? Don't post it.

Do you participate in "age play?" Don't post it.

Do you cycle between claiming to be starting a vegan diet one day, then recording youself shoveling thousands of calories of fast food garbage down your gullet in a single sitting? Don't post it.

Imagine if the women who participated in the Two Girls One Cup video suddenly start complaining about cyberbullying because they didn't like the perceived negative reactions shown in the "reaction" videos.

Further, if you wish to virtue signal and try to make yourself out to be a "good person", of the most upstanding of character and without any flaws or blemishes whatsoever, be aware that you are painting a target on your chest and all of your misdeeds will eventually come to light.

It's incredibly low effort to simply blame a single site for any potental negative attention anyone may receive, but the farms would be nothing if the freaks would just stop posting all of the crazy things they get up to.
People love to see a freakshow. Kiwi Farms is just the P.T. Barnum of the internet.

If you still think that Kiwi Farms is a bad as it gets, just wait until Apple, Google, Facebook, Microsoft, Samsung, Yahoo, ect... start combining their combined data of all of their users into a searchable social credit score database.

One more thing.
There is absolutely zero evidence than anyone committed suicide.
By most accounts, this appears to be a lame attempt to string along suckers for attention as has happned many others times 8n the past.

Wait for the "friend", or "family member" to set up a go fund me in the next few days.

this is an amazing post, except for one

Yes he did. The presumed victim had 3 different Twitter accounts. One personal, an alt and a furry one.
In all of them he posted info and nsfw pictures. All of which got gathered on that Kiwi thread.

FOR THE RECORD I DO NOT DEFEND KIWI.
JUST SAYING THAT YOU CAN'T SAY YOU'RE BEING HARASSED WHEN YOU'RE WILLINGLY POSTING INCRIMINATING STUFF ON TWITTER

Wait was that plagiarized?

Didn't claim that they did.
That was just a composite of the types of content found be users of the farms divulged by the very same people who claim to be harassed, or "doxxed" once they discover that said content that they themselves posted was not met with the overwhelming praise that they desired.

 

[smf]

So he was on the phone with him for like half our and did nothing to help he suppose a friend
Not only that but an actual source that this happen and not some Twitter person would be good

You're sounding like a holocaust denier.

Further, if you wish to virtue signal and try to make yourself out to be a "good person", of the most upstanding of character and without any flaws or blemishes whatsoever, be aware that you are painting a target on your chest and all of your misdeeds will eventually come to light.

From where I'm standing the kiwi farms users are trying to make out they are good people.

I know people who know near, this doesn't seem to be a joke.

It's bad taste to blame victims. You are painting a target on your chest.

As for go fund me, I can't rule out that some idiot won't do it but it isn't going to be someone doing it for near.

The primary issue here is

To be honest the primary issue here is mob mentality and associative fallacies, put all kind of stuff together in a bag, some facts some not, and pretend it is all the same, then go further with the generalization leading to a faulty conclusion... while hoping nobody catches the "generalization" part... that said, sure people would led a better life if they didn't post too much in the internet, that has turned into something resembling "soviet russia with the KGB behind your back".

It's not. The last thing, that the hardcore trolls and clowns are aware of is moral and empathy.

People are trolling on suicide?
Disgusting

Since tempers still seem to be high and the arguments never cease, the thread has become an unmanageable mess. Unfortunately we see no other option but to temporarily close it, pending any new developments. Perhaps once it's reopened and everyone's heads are a little bit cooler, we'll be able to better give condolences to Near's family and friends.

Despite moving in similar circles never really had any interactions with him, certainly no projects or anything. Despite various dramas certainly earned a place among the notable of the ROM hacking and emulation scenes. Did like the cinnamonpirate/second best page in the universe though years ago, even if it took me embarrassingly long to make the connection after emulators were dropping.

Sucks really. Do tend to find suicide a permanent solution to a temporary problem, give or take serious illness and crazy spy shenanigans. Hard to know the mind of another though.

Curious what issues kiwifarms had as well. Saw some of their lolcows threads when floating around the internet one day, some were quite amusing, usually had a pretty hot line in information cataloguing/discovery and also found some things to follow there (list of arseholes according to ? is almost as good as forbidding me from seeing things for making me want to check something out).
Edit. Missed that it was locked thread (was on an older page). Will leave it though.
