I think it's also important to note that Near identified as non-binary. This isn't just a "respect their pronouns!" type of thing, but an important aspect of the KiwiFarms propensity to target trans and queer people.

Notably this also isn't the only suicide attributed to the forum, another trans woman by the name of Chloe Sagal also was harassed by them into suicide in 2018, alongside a Canadian woman named Julie Terryberry in 2016.

The forum takes credit for this (though of course, not officially by the admins), with it being basically an explicit goal. I believe they also had a "kill counter" in a thread to count the people they brought to kill themselves. And the fact that they love targeting trans people, autistic people, and basically everyone who's different is a big part of the whole culture they've build.

Note that I prefer to not expose myself to that, so I invite other people to add info or refute something I said.
