The DDoS attack on KiwiFarms in response to the unconfirmed suicide of Near/Byuu

submitted by ISaidWhatISaid from self.censorship

Sorry, no disrespect for his family or anyone who survives him, but I just don't trust a single pseudonymous tweet as proof:

No official confirmation whatsoever and they are blocking anyone asking them to disclose the LE number in Japan they called.

Has anyone actually tried to contact the American embassy/consulate in Japan to get an official confirmation that an American native in Japan who is a public figure online has actually committed suicide and his body/remains will be repatriated to the US?

https://jp.usembassy.gov

All in all, has anyone tried to get an actual formal/official confirmation from Japan that this American living in Tokyo is actually dead and whether his remains will be repatriated to the US?

I am reading all sorts of things in the social media but I haven't seen any hard confirmation, just a lot of websites linking to a single pseudonymous tweet. Perhaps someone who actually speaks Japanse can contact the Marunouchi Police Station and ask? It's the police station nearest to where he supposedly lived in Tokyo.

This is the Twitter account of the Japanese ambassador in the US: https://twitter.com/JapanEmbDC

Perhaps someone who speaks Japanese can contact them to ask what the proper procedure is for confirming the death/suicide of an American public figure living in Japan?

Perhaps someone who speaks Japanese can contact the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan and as about the proper procedure for confirm the death of an American public figure in Japan? https://twitter.com/MofaJapan_en

I don't speak any Japanese myself or I would've done this research on my own.

My money is on "hoax." No one has actually confirmed it. No family has come forward, no authorities have made any statements.

KiwiFarms didn't do anything to this dude except have an old thread about him. They poked some fun at him for being a tranny and a furry, but it was pretty mild by their standards. They didn't even doxx him.

Yeah. I expect he'll soon re-emerge to tell a sob story, followed by praise for his stunning bravery, entirely ignoring the deception and severe mental health issues.

It's been two months since, has anyone confirmed by now that he's actually dead?

UPDATE! The overseas death report has been released and...

Shocking news, I know.

Nope. No family, no police report, nothing.

Kiwifarms is honestly kind of shit lately. Got a bunch of women who got banned from r/fph running the show behind the scenes.

You'll be harassed and brigaded for openly disagreeing with them, especially if you're right.

KF is just a bunch of fat black women and white knights who got banned from reddit.

That's nothing new. Everyone is quietly complaning in the DMs about the TERF investation on KF. I had to adopt an anti-TERF rule on my sub here on Saidit to prevent them from coming in and taking it over. The regulars on KF are now terrified of openly disagreeing with the TERFs that have taken over the forum for fear of getting mass-downvoted. I was told by a KF regular that TERFs did the same thing to Voat, a platform I am unfamiliar with. I was told that these women took over Voat, became mods and started banning anyone expressing non-TERF opinions. It's absolutely ludicrous that they're allowed to run so many sockpuppet accounts and nothing is being done about it. Let me state once again for the record: just because I make fun of trannies here on KF doesn't mean I like or agree with TERFs. I can't stand both TERFs and TRAs. All flavours of SJW are just different flavours of the same horseshit to me. Sometimes I cringe at TERFs even more than I cringe at TRAs. I don't think women are born as pure angels who were only corrupted through contact with men, which is what TERFs apparently believe about women.

A lot of people feel uncomfortable about praticipating on a forum where TERFs set the agenda. Because if you don't keep them under control TERFs will take over your sub and burn it to the ground with flamewars by dogpiling and brigading everyone who express non-TERF opinions. They tried to do that on /r/detrans too, to the point where detrans people themselves felt uncomfortable about posting on their own sub because of all the TERFs passive-aggressively goading them towards adopting TERF positions. That's the real reason they started getting banned on Twitter, not just for saying "men can't be women". Because they want to dominate the conversation, just like the TRAs do, and they do this by dogpiling people to discourage them from posting their honest opinions that go against TERF ideology.

There is a thread on KF about TERFs themselves - because they too are huge lolcows - but for a while now there has been a contingent of TERFs that frequent that thread in order to passive-aggressively make it more friendly towards TERFs. It's like, fuck off, this is where we all congregate to LOL at your rabid misandry, misogyny and homophobia and your "we're not censorious controlfreak collectivist far-left SJWs, except we totally are" denialism #notlikeothergirls

There is a thread on KF about TERFs themselves

Link? I might look in next time I go over there.

Random question, but in the Members Online section, where is your account in the list? Is it a feature to always put the viewers account in the top 5, or #1 position? I'm hoping it's different for everyone, and not just putting me up there because I've never logged out.

I've actually never looked back after leaving a comment, so I wouldn't know if I'm being harassed or brigaded.

Mainly use the site to occasionally check up on the latest retardation of the gunt, and a couple others. It's really hard to believe how far Ethan has fallen since the IBS days.

Oh, and the thread on Saint Tarrant was extremely informative, when it was banned from most of the rest of the internet.

You can expect zero help from the State Department. They despise American citizens abroad and consider dealing with them an unwanted chore.
