Is there in anyway you could give the link of the comment or smth more credible? Or for example his gofundme links etc
-
I do have the links to another FB post in which he was confronted by his friends, he apologized on using the gofundme to trying to get money but all the comments are in Indonesian. Do you still want it?
-
I'm Indonesian so it's ok I just never heard of this guy but the situation seems really dire if he did indeed attempted suicide, but it'd be nice if there's more info
-
Huh I can't judge anything as I never knew him or his problem personally but tbh it's easy for a scam artist (like fe huang/mijin) to target international market If they have definite proof they should post it in english here imo
-
yes, the advantage people like these have over them are understanding their language (English) and knowing which cards to play, yet they know almost nothing about us and our country. it's rather sad, really.

https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=10214287763660045&id=1594710631 … these ones too Tbvh rizzy should just provide his hospitalization proof and receipt where the money is being used, if there's none I'll just assume this is all but a scam attempt
-
Agree. But the people who know him say similar things which point to this being a scam.

So it was written by a homophobic muslim? ("We") Pretty biased source. Also https://www.washingtonpost.com/amphtml/news/worldviews/wp/2017/10/12/its-not-illegal-to-be-gay-in-indonesia-but-police-are-cracking-down-anyway/?noredirect=on …

recent updates pointed out that the one cyberbullying Riz was an American digital artist, known as Entropic Void, who posed as Indonesian officials, sending him threats in indonesian using Google Translate.

I want to point out something. I've investigated some more well known or incendiary cases and incidents within furrydom over the last couple of years. I have been astonished and dismayed at how readily people will believe something despite evidence being lacking or even contrary.
-
People have been viciously maligned and dogpiled ultimately because of little or zero evidence, or evidence being misinterpreted. We had one case lately where an artist was declared a dangerous pedophile, but it was a complete fabrication- most of those attacking the artist (2)
-
either never saw the exculpatory evidence, or really don't care. In another case, we had an artist maligned as an "active pedophile" because of the accusation they drew cub porn, which led to other unfounded accusations. They never actually drew cub porn. People just ran with (3)

accusations based on contrary or misconstrued evidence, I've heard multiple people from Indonesia alluded to a "hoax" issue, people being prone to believing bullshit. Perhaps this cultural issue I don't well understand and wish to ask about is the cause for this skepticism(4)
-
which came across as callous and offensive. And I've heard LGBTs there must be more defensive to avoid being ambushed by enemies. So I'm not quite as angry about this now. But, I still find it reckless to wave around one missive by an unknown enemy right as this story breaks.(5)

this isn't the first time an Indonesian artist duped many people and played the victim, so everyone here is more alert on things like this nowadays.

In a January post on FB, Riz said that he was told to start GFM by friends incl Glaive from California (if they can clarify that's good) In the same post, people said Riz threatened his Malaysian friend(s?) with suicide if they wouldn't start GFM for him https://m.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=1988155228175023&id=100009416957592&_rdr …pic.twitter.com/fzHVM4aJ6H

Indonesian activists have been trying to reach out to Riz/his representatives to help but so far they haven't responded.https://twitter.com/arierdty/status/1008276865864232961?s=19 …

Is this a different FB post (for some reason, I thought it was a YouTube comment from some video about/of the raid) from the one being presented which was made by Koffi Summers? If so, can someone provide the link?
