Inactive Richard "Lowtax" Kyanka - Deadbeat (emphasis on "Dead") founder of Something Awful, forced out of his own community, on his second divorce, stuck his dick in crazy, "Birth Giver"

So passes the the janny who by action or inaction, singlehandedly had a role in initiating and spreading all the worst things about the modern day internet

Troonery, modern day furries, competitive woke scumbaggery, shitty wannabe celebrities and bloggers becoming the face of internet media by nepotism and grifting....all of these cancers trace back to the goon circlejerk he created on that shitty fucking website.

He died as he lived.

A self-pitying, spineless, degenerate, bitch, who took the cowards way out instead of facing up to his basic human responsibilities.

Unloved. Unwanted. Unmourned.

One great thing at SA is the "date registered" showing under every post, plus the "stupid newbie" avatars - both are dead giveaways for the useless passersbys who shit up every featured thread with their plebeian opinions and make it so much easier to outright ignore such posts while thumbing through 50+ new pages 'a day. The highlight feature will always skip a few good post, alas.

Was Lowtax one of the last "giants" of the web 1.0 era that still had a public face (If even in a extremely diminished way)? I'm having a hard time coming up with any others that are still around.

Whut? "Slipped past us"? Dude we've been documenting not only his every utterance, but those of dozens of people who knew him personally. We know exactly what his deal was.

His "pain" and "depression" were that his easy, gravy train life was gone. And as we have extensively recorded, that was 100% his own fault but he was in complete denial about it. Anyone trying to talk sense into him was met with a wall of unfunny lolrandom bullshit. Up until the very end he blamed everyone else but himself for the loss of his cushy life. Let's recap this man's greatest hits:

- He defrauded his own forums users by raising $20,000 to upgrade the software, but embezzled it instead.
- He let a known paedophile babysit his children.
- He beat two wives and one girlfriend, at least.
- He confiscated and hid his second wife's passport and deliberately didn't complete her immigration paperwork so that he could threaten her with deportation if she stepped out of line.
- When he went to Utah for a month to fuck some BPD girl half his age, he left his wife alone with the kid and no transport.
- When his eldest (14-year-old) daughter called him out on the above he told her to go fuck herself.
- Despite this, his first wife arranged for the second to get into into a women's shelter. She setup a GFM which Lowtax's mods got taken down.
- Lowtax's first action on discovering this was to tell Facebook that he was going to call ICE on his own wife out of vengeance.
- When she sued for divorce he deliberately spent as much money on gatcha games and prostitutes as he could to spite her AND HIS OWN DAUGHTER.
- He spent months denying that Bogan was a side-piece and instead insisted she was a "brand manager". The main contribution to SA was to offer unpaid writing for the site in return for "exposure".
- After he beat her and she revealed it on the forums, he forced her to record a tearful video saying she lied and he didn't hit her.
- He spent years popping pills and chugging booze, whilst vehemently denying it, even when he appeared on stream smashed out of his head.
- When the DV case collapsed because his victim declined to give evidence, he described it as "vindication" and being found "not guilty".
- The second it became clear he had to bear some consequences for the above, he blew his brains out leaving three children without a father.

That's like maybe 10% of Lowtax lore. This is a man who would literally rather die than support his own children. His suicide wasn't an act of despair or desperation, it was an act of narcissism and the ultimate laziness. He didn't want to bother with his children any more, he didn't want to bother fixing his life or having to work for a living, so he checked out.

In general, when someone offs themselves, I would agree that there is often private pain that we will never know. But Lowtax made his private life very public, often against the wishes of the other people involved. It's crystal clear why he ate a bullet, and it does not show him in a good light at all. Yes, his exes were all crazy, you have to be crazy to let Lowtax stick his droopy dick in you. But they weren't, by and large, bad people, at least not compared to Lowtax. And his kids are innocent in all this. From the little we've seen, his eldest daughter is much more mature and responsible than the father who let her down so badly throughout her life, then let her down one last time. He let all his kids down by doing what he did, and it certainly wasn't the first time he put his feelings above their welfare, but thank God it will be the last.

When you lay it out like this and don't have to deal with his personality Lowtax seems based as hell.

If he was so spineless it doesn’t sound realistic to say that he was single-handedly responsible for anything.

The internet sucks because of normies which was always going to happen.

Perhaps it is unfair to lay all the blame on him, but he sure as hell did his part to ensure shit turned out as shitty as it did solely to ensure his own asspats and gibdats were (temporarily) secure. If he had shown any sign of regret, or at the very least not openly revelling in it, I might be a little more charitable. As it stands though...

Look on the bright side. They probably wont be given to a pedophile for the night for daddy's social clout anymore.
