This is a long shot, but if anyone has a way of getting in touch with Near/byuu, it's looking really bad:
Edit: The creator of the bsnes/Higan emulators is gone:
I think there needs to be a lot more awareness of the fact that autistic people are uniquely vulnerable to being sucked into this toxic cycle and not being able to get out.
I also think that the internet has tolerated this kind of "find and stalk people for lulz" behavior for far too long.
I didn't know Byuu but I knew his work and felt bad seeing him suffer after getting trapped in Twitter drama.

He endured abuse from the Kiwi Farms community for years. Anyone who is familiar with them know that they are a community who make it a career to dig up dirt on prolific members of the Internet community who function with ASD and proceed to have so-called "discussions" that serve no other purpose than to dox and berate said members. Byuu tried to get in contact with Null, the head moderator of Kiwi Farms and even offered his life savings to stop the harassment but it fell on deaf ears.
