Oh, perhaps I must've misread something then. If you're essentially saying both KF and Resetera suck massive balls, then we're in full agreement there.

he said "I'll pay you thousands of dollars to take down my thread or else I'll kill myself," how is that fair or reasonable? I think it's even illegal, a form of extortion? the thread was also a complete dud, with one idiot ranting about the guy and everyone else saying actually he seems chill and has made cool emulation stuff, it was practically nothing

is that really all it takes to make a person or site terrible? can I get whatever I want from you if I just threaten to kill myself? would resetera be as bad as kiwi if someone said "make nepenthe resign or I kill myself" and they refused? would twitter be as bad as kiwi if someone said "make musk resign or I kill myself" and they refused?

if it's the laughing about it that's bad, what do you say about the glee surrounding brian thompson's death?


claims that he was not dead were based on (lack of) evidence, japan files reports on foreigners who die within the country and he was never on the list, which was legitimately worth considering in this case

You know what? You're probably more correct since I'm really just going off memory from the aftermath of that situation. I remember the controversy elsewhere, and briefly seeing KF posters deny any involvement, while also laughing their asses off. I wasn't aware Byuu threatened suicide as blackmail beforehand, so the extortion angle makes it more muddier.

That being said, I don't think death and suicide should be taken so lightly that people should glorify mocking it, and KF is definitely the type of site that furiously masturbates over people they dislike dying. I guess my point is, if a dude actually kills themselves and cites your cyberbully thread as the root cause, regardless of who the blame falls on, celebrating and making offensive edgelord cracks at a real person's demise is just a sign of a toxic cesspool. I would understand if the dude was a terrible criminal or something, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

Have at look at some Era death threads, in this regard they are no different

Remember the Etika threads?
Ree: Omg, fuck this guy he's problematic af he ain't gonna kill himself, he's a attention whore!
Also Ree: omg thoughts and prayers sorry to hear that
