TW: suicide
Near was the author of groundbreaking emulators: bsnes, higan, ares. They were an inspiration for many of us in the emulation scene. Last year they committed suicide after suffering from online harassment for too long.
@Cloudflare, put a stop to this. #dropkiwifarms
This is one of the last things that Near said before taking their own life after intense harassment from Kiwifarms. Evil trumphs when good men do nothing and @eastdakota, CEO of @Cloudflare, has the ability to do something.
