#2They’re one of the biggest forces to have ever existed in emulation, pushing forward accuracy when other emulators were made just to be good enough to play a game, as well as archiving countless rare games. A true legend and they will be missed.

#3 > Kiwi Farms was spun off from CWCiki, a wiki focused on Chris-Chan. They're a forum focused on cyberbullying other people. They especially tend to focus on people who are in vulnerable groups. For example, Byuu as far as I know, identified as non-binary, which is why they started harassing him. It seems like they're a major catalyst for this situation.
Wow. A forum of people that bullies vulnerable people until they kill themselves. As someone who is non-binary and a member of multiple minority groups, this makes me furious.
If there's any website that deserves to be DDoSed, this is it. Just saying.

#4Oh God, this brings back memories. Something like this happened to me on Wikipedia, and nearly ended in disaster.
Who are Kiwi Farms and how do we stop them? Don’t they violate CloudFlare’s ToS?

#5I will never understand the type of self-destructive attacks that drive this. I don't agree with but can understand the logic of attacking some public figure, but one of your own? An anti-establishment, anti-intellectual property nerd? The driving force behind one of the most impressive emulators on the planet? Even if you hate LGBT people you can't ignore it in the case of someone who's doing free work that directly benefits you?

#6This is incredibly saddening news, near was an active HN user whose posts I always enjoyed reading. These cyber stalking websites needed to be shut down long ago.

They really need to stop. They did it for 8chan, why not this? How many more people need to die before anything changes?

Previously this comment contained an ill-mannered correction of the mistaken pronoun usage. However, this is completely unnecessary so I will replace it with this message, and a reminder that Near used they/them pronouns. Apologies.
