Near suicide bsnes full#

They wanted Near dead for no reason other than Near was a public figure who was trans and also autistic and whose suffering they have already deemed a source of amusement. These Kiwifarms people bullied Near, watched them suffer, and actually hoped to see them commit suicide. They even went to Kiwifarms to try and settle things with the owner Josh Moon, pleading with Moon to take the thread down, and Moon refused to show any compassion. They didnвЂ™t do anything to deserve anyone being suicide-baited. Near was nice to everyone who bothered to approach them as a friend. To be honest, I donвЂ™t think IвЂ™ve been angrier for most of my life, and I often try not to be. And then some of them try to turn around and claim that they did nothing wrong as though weвЂ™re stupid enough not to see through their obvious lies, and many of them unbelievably and callously claim to be the victims of an extortion attempt. The fact that they laugh at NearвЂ™s suicide, primarily because of their transgender identity, is probably all you need to know. I would have thought this would be the behaviour for whom вЂњcancel cultureвЂќ or some variation thereof would be reserved but I guess not in our worthless and hypocritical culture. But because I didnвЂ™t think about it too much and didnвЂ™t do a lot of following up, I hadnвЂ™t yet realized that Kiwifarms was started solely to target autistic people as well as trans people, kinksters (apparently), and others who offend them in some way. It seemed creepy even back then, but apparently you could also find stuff about the activities of groups like the Order of Nine Angles ( as IвЂ™ve covered a few years ago). I had a vague idea that they were a strange and dubious website where people go to share and exchange information anonymously. I had some awareness of Kiwifarms for a few years before this, but for a while I didnвЂ™t understand them much. Their whole agenda has been to ruin the lives of anyone they find funny, which KiwiFarms has literally stated to mean mentally abnormal people, and they openly target autistic and trans people to ruin their lives, not to mention that the siteвЂ™s owner and many of its membership either lean to the far-right or even comprise actual Nazis.ДЇor many people, this is the first time they had even heard of Kiwifarms. It sounds petty and bigoted, but as IвЂ™ve come to understand thatвЂ™s pretty much the exact purpose of KiwiFarms. The only obvious motivation that I could piece together is that Near was transgender, non-binary, autistic, and might have spoken out against Donald Trump or something to that effect.

If youвЂ™re wondering at all what Near could possible have done to deserve the abuse, you wonвЂ™t find anything other than some drama levelled against them by Kiwifarms users, not that you could get the full story easily since Kiwifarms got DDOSвЂ™d for causing NearвЂ™s suicide while either gloating about their suicide or denying it ever happened. After a ceaseless stream of harassment from KiwiFarms users who were trying to bully them and their friends out of public life, Near posted a thread on Twitter announcing their intention to commit suicide, and according to a friend of a friend of Near they overdosed on codeine and guanfancine before hanging themselves. That at least is how I know them, and from what I can see many others have only just found out that it was Near who made their emulator experiences possible.

So on some token, theyвЂ™re responsible for my getting the chance to play the original two SMT games. Although I had no idea who Near was before, I remember playing Shin Megami Tensei using the bSnes emulator, and its sequel using one of the emulators they made. So yesterday I had become aware of the tragic news about the suicide of Near, who I had never heard of until today but was the inventor of several emulators, notably bSnes and Higan.
