Please don't spread baseless accusations and FUD.

Retroarch abuse to emulation devs is quite well documented, it mostly stems from their project lead twinaphex(who also personally receives the donations) but he also has peers involved in the project that think alike.

None of this is documentation of abuse. It's documentation of second-hand complaints of unspecified abuse. That's not to say there isn't actual abuse happening, just that you probably should've picked different links if you wanted to demonstrate it.
Why do you not call out what you specifically consider baseless accusations and FUD in their comment? Reads a bit silly without that.
Almost everything they said.
- There's no proof aethersx2 is his project. But there is proof that it violates open source licenses.
- No proof of death threats from users
- No proof of "sabotaging his own emulator"
- No proof he "got over-harassed by the Retroarch devs to the point they sent email to their irl employer with damning accusations of sexual harassment."

It has been long established in the emulation community that stenzek and tahlreth are the same person

EDIT: Okay, so the employer's email alleging harassment was to another emulator dev (redream), I misremembered it, but the harassment is still real.

Do your own research
I don't consider any of that to be credible proof.
I really don't know what is "credible" proof to you on Internet drama. That is the best you will have: screenshots, multiple users corrobating the account and stenzek own words. Nothing tangible.
Out of curiosity, what would be a "credible" proof for you in this context? Filed police reports with confirmations that those threats have indeed been made?
> I don't consider any of that to be credible proof.
Everything is up to people's personal consideration so that really isn't saying all that much.
Thanks, but I wanted to hear specifically from the person I replied to.
