That's just the tip of it though.
TLDR; The retroarch devs had an IRC channel where they would shit on byuu/near all the time, for no reason other than a group of them did it constantly. It was part of their "community".
- BoingBoomTschak 2y agoI was bored enough to read some of those IRC logs. Nothing was about sex or "gender identity". It just looks like typical underground Interweb being a tough place for people who are or want to be famous. I'm always wary with these one-sided "X was oppressed by meanies for no valid reason!" and using suicide as a way to enshrine it.
- llmblockchain 2y agoThis is only my opinion, but it seems to me Near had a number of mental things going on and it wasn't the "bullying" that pushed them over the edge. I think it had been a number of things snowballing for a decade or more (as seen in the depression post, etc). Of course, people talking about you on the internet constantly wouldn't help the situation at all.
