No proof at all. Also, yeaaaah, so sad about some weird guy trying to bully and bribe and emotionally blackmail people. And now all the freaks try to ruin New Zealand Bird Enthusiasm Forum, because that's so much better than just behaving like normal, functioning human beings.

Fuck off, I don't care about these turbo tism tranny furry crazies. Get it treated, instead of piling fetish upon fetish, then crying because it still doesn't work.

There's zero proof he did, first of all because no one even knows his name.

I just want to put down a timeline as I saw this while lurking the Jim Sterling thread on the site.

Null posts an email exchange between them. Byuu offered Null $120k to take down the thread. Null wanted to check a lawyer as it would be bribery or entrapment to take the money. Not even a day later, Byuu says he's killed himself. Trannies over-react and DDoS the site after swarming the thread from twitter.

Couple of things.

  1. His Dox is floating around but there's no full name attached to it, meaning people can't contact the police to do a wellness check.
  2. Byuu said a friend would post his passport in 5 hours afterwards so people could check the new in Japan where he supposedly lived. 3 days later and one DDoS attack after, still no passport.
  3. Byuu's Friend says that he was on the phone for half an hour while his friend was killing himself with a home made noose, not contacting the police or anything. Even listed an obscure french rock song instead of calling the police.
  4. Byuu's Friend SAYS (emphasis) that Byuu is dead and that he wants to respect the dead by not saying anything.
  5. According to the KW thread, it can take up to a week for anyone to be listed as dead in Japan. Suicide is a daily occurrence over there and the news can get swamped and other things.

My theory on all this was it was a gay furry op designed to get Null to take the money, but that would mean Kiwi would lose it's 230 protection under US law and be open to a bunch of lawsuits. Byuu offered money, Null not being greedy, empathic or guilty didn't take it and sat on it. Byuu "commits" sudoku, Streisand takes effect, Trannies swarm in because it's one of the places on the net people can say No to them. It also could be a severe Schizo act from Byuu, who did all this and actually sudokued himself but I doubt it. More likely he's dropped the persona.

Reposting my take from plebbit:

mmk, if anyone actually cares about this drama, this is everything I could piece together

Byuu has had a dedicated group of haters on 4chan's /emugen/ topic for a decent while. Sometime earlier these haters doxxed some of the people he was friends with using the Kiwi Farms as an outlet and convinced them that Byuu was to blame (or that he was at least sympathetic to the site, having admittedly owned up to his cringe-posting past). Now isolated from his online friendgroup, he had probably gotten fairly lonely, exasperating his already existing depression and mental illness. I'd guess he went to Moon with the offer to delete his thread as some kind of way to redeem himself to those around him, even if that desperate plan was never going to actually work.

To be honest, I don't know if he's still alive or not, as there isn't really enough evidence to conclude. I hope he is, but still. I can't really conclude what Twitter has, and don't think the Farms is to blame. Joshua handled that email to a decent degree, and I genuinely dare you to on the spot come up with a better response it. The real culprits behind this are, imo, are the /emugen/ a-logs and his shitty friendgroup. The Farms, in reality just by existing, was just an easy target to place the blame on (explaining why it was worth being upset over such an unremarkable thread).

As for the google doc, either that was published by himself posthumourously (or to help sell his supposed death) or was written by a sick opportunist. Theres no way thats real. I also doubt the conspiracy theory about fencing off the rare Nintendo game collection people donated to him is legit either because if he had $120k lying around in the bank I doubt the $40k at best of video games was worth faking his death over.

If you care about this (which, tbh, you probably shouldn't. Shit is depressing), best place to look is the source: his emails he sent to Joshua.


The reason nobody posted about it here is because it really doesn't effect us in any way. It's just pointless drama.
