Ignoring your deliberate misgendering of a nonbinary person, they didn't get to keep their job and income. They also permanently lost both of those (and all future potential for those), along with their life.

If you're going to make bad faith comparisons to racists getting fired for being racists, at least have the audacity to point out what you think their offense was here.

Additionally, he had $120k while living in Japan and was able to afford medication. He was well off and wealthy.

Was he a pedo, or was dyn just bitching about anime avatars again?
Byuu had a twitter account called "Myuu" which was full of furry art and lewd imagery that alluded not to adult characters, but underage looking "cub" characters. Byuu's furry persona was of an underage-looking "wolf dragon" character, that wore diapers and used pacifiers.

Along with Byuu's personal interest in using underage-looking characters for his own use, he also took the time to make a giant argument about the semantics and legality of lolicon and shotacon, which also is archived here.

If he was indeed harassed to suicide would this hold in court though?

Taking justice into your own hands is dodgy business. A guy has died. Will there or will there not be consequences? Was his sick fuckery worth it to ruin the lives of whoever contacted him? Because this may very well result in that
