Sorry, guys. I give up. This shit goes back a decade across multiple forums. I just can't sort it all. I can tell you to search "Byuu" if you want to read it all yourself. Most of Kiwi Farms is claiming that this is fake and Byuu is lying. Their main evidence seems to be that they find it strange somebody was typing out a google document instead of calling the police. They seem to think he'll show up again in a week talking about a "near miss." I don't believe that. I think this is probably real.

All I can say with certainty is this is what happens when groups of mentally ill people clash. Byuu certainly had his share of problems and drama, depending on who you ask. He seems to have pissed off various people in the emulation community over the years (including the retroarch people), especially in terms of money. He was clearly unhappy with his life in terms of his career goals, personal goals, and his sexuality. He was also clearly interested in transitioning, furry porn, and defending that lolicon bullshit. That made him an easy target for Kiwi Farms.

In terms of what Kiwi Farms did or didn't do? I can't fucking say. The shit spreads across multiple forums and into every corner of the internet. It's not like this was limited to just the Kiwi Farms website. The Kiwi thread clearly bothered Byuu and he had threatened to sue the owner if he didn't take it down. But, it wasn't a popular thread. It was only 13 pages and nearly dead. But it's mere existence seemed to drive Byuu crazy. I've read some stuff about doxing, etc. I don't think there was some giant effort by Kiwi Farms to destroy this guy, but it is likely that one or two of it's members kept pushing this clearly mentally ill man every chance they got.

It doesn't seem like Kiwi Farm was "going after" Byuu per say (although maybe a few of their posters might have), but they are giving a home to assholes to congregate and feed off their own bullshit. They certainly seem to show no remorse for any of this. The site should probably be shut down just to break these people up.
