So Kiwifarms, a forum that I only ever hear about in the context of someone getting harassed or bullied, has led to (another??) death ... how in the fuck are they still hosted by anything https://t.co/bbA6HYu9vR

More proof that the bullying scene in gaming is nothing short of vile:https://t.co/ljSaCnZ5jL

A popular emulator author took their own life after years of harassment.
Our industry needs to take this more seriously and crack down hard on abusers. Period.

Hide all the replies you want. Act like you can cover it up, like the Streisand Effect doesn't exist.

This is tragic and maddening. Tragic, because they were a brilliant creator and had an immeasurable impact on video game preservation. Maddening, because of how cruel people can be. https://t.co/W2byEHLgQb #RIPNear #CyberBullying

Kiwi Farms has claimed another victim, this time an extremely talented free software developer, who developed a very accurate emulator for the SNES.@eastdakota and @Cloudflare seem enjoy their status as hosting industry bad actors. They revel in it. https://t.co/WOJWdL51Uw

We’ve reposted our 2020 emulation feature from Near/byuu with a note regarding their apparent suicide. https://t.co/ZUNMsM1aP3

An awful way to return from a week off work/Twitter. They were a joy to work with and a titan in the scene.
Near's work on Super Nintendo emulator bsnes was groundbreaking. https://t.co/FY5kdRxyHV

This is absolutely heart-breaking. If you play SNES on a PC emulator, Mister or most likely even on an official Nintendo emulator you almost certainly have this person to thank, directly or indirectly, for big chunks of its code. https://t.co/5atQV2aR9w
