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"

The real cringe posting is everyone qualifying their account of people like Lowtax with "now he was a domestic abuser," lmfao. No he wasn't! It's a fucking act, and of course people who spend a disproportionate amount of time on forums lap up that e-girl slop, because internet drama forums have more adult virgins per capita than a fucking nunnery.

He imported a foreign wife and then obstructed her citizenship process, and there are very specific domestic abuse laws written to address that exact scenario. He's absolutely a domestic abuser.

The physical shit with Logan that everyone fixates on was nbd though, man got shaken awake and woke up punching. That happens, it's just an accident.

When your persona and legacy is built off of a snapshot of whoever you were when you got big, there's almost certainly going to be a compulsion to continue acting the part. That's even when you're no longer in the same mental space nor age as you were when you formed that identity. The alternative is being a "sellout" or otherwise just being forgotten, which certain people won't recognize is the best thing that could possibly happen to them.
Considering the age range and culture of the internet back then, being angsty and aloof can easily factor into that persona. Then when your entire identity is a front of pretend edge, comes intimacy issues, either with just having genuine friends that you don't worry about bailing on you if you drop the front or fail to toe the line, or a steady relationship with a partner you actually confide in. This derails your entire psychosocial development, even if you're well past your 20s. Moot got out in time, Lowtax didn't. Lowtax also always seemed far more "present" socially, so to speak, so the hole he dug himself into was a lot harder to crawl out of, and it looks like he never did

Or just look at Blizzard right now, all that web 1.0 edgelord shit is destroying their company like how Lowtax's life has been destroyed. I expect more shit like this to happened in this flaccid corporate dystopian timeline where edgy persona who don't get out get crushed under wokeness or their demons catching up with them.

It's kind of wild that people like Lowtax kill themselves while CWC and Yaniv are still kicking around.

I wouldn't count CWC out yet. Virginia knows all about Chris and the shit he has done and they will have him warehoused away from any form of online interaction. He is too much of a risk.

Meanwhile Yaniv is protected by one of the most spineless governments in an already spineless country. They already have problems with sex offenders and junkies shooting up in public while taxing the people living their to sustain their habit.

All I remember about my somethingawful days is that you had to spend money to buy yourself an avatar, but you could buy an avatar for someone else, so I pretended to hate a wrestler and sure enough some dipshit bought me an avatar of the wrestler.

Hell you remember the old Madness game from Newgrounds? It has a sequel now.

I never used newgrounds much back in it's heyday but it does seem like it as a website and as a community fared much better than SA.

Whats weird is that while Newgrounds is still around, well regarded, and I think the two Fulp guys are well off and have families and basically retired from the internt, all of its "famous" content creators went nuts, got into drugs, or both, and have threads here. Its like an inverse SA.

Either you sell out at your zenith, or you end up like Shadman, and need an eightball to endure all those commissions Pamperchu keeps making.

Lowtax died as he lived: a petty, vindictive, spiteful, hypocritical POS.

One of the most selfish things he's ever done is not killing himself before Halloween so Null could have a proper Person Stream for the Holiday. Now we have to wait a whole year for a Lowtax Person Stream.
Also the "ruined his kids' entire life" thing.

 

[manlikebigp]

Rest in peace, faggot.

 

[Tumbo]

Well I definitely feel bad for his ex and kids not so much for him though hopefully they are still able to get money and live comfortably.

Not to derail too hard into talking about moot, but: you're missing some context where just before he handed down that decision he was seen hanging out with Anita Sarkeesian and other members of her grift (who, coincidentally, were all having their dirty laundry aired by GamerGate) at some swanky techbro conference. And it didn't move to /pol/, they started banning any discussion of it from the entire website which is the only reason 8chan was a thing. So yeah, I can understand saying it's cucky and traitorous to help CIA trust fund kids, grifters and serial abusers hide their misdeeds by censoring your website's users because you want to hang out at Google.

There's so many people who still have this absolutely glowing untarnished idea of Moot cuz he was the old 4chan guy. His censorship campaign really worked.

It isn’t selling out if you didn’t compromise your principles. They just got their money and knew when it was time to fold and let the money train roll on its own while fading into the background.

Most of the wonderful individuals that provide content for this site are the ones who sold out. They had to because zero money management.

I don't know who's worse off, Moot beta-orbiting a Gawker journalist and getting laid off from Google, or Snacks deciding 4chan was "just a phase" and becoming a far-leftist DJ a la Phil Fish.

Do me a favor and read the underlined parts and tell me if they sound consistent, sane, and likely to have happened just the way the e-girl describes them.

Here, I'll help translate:

1. "I fucked my therapist and he told me to gtfo his house or he'd have me arrested, so I got wasted and ran over his shrubs, and goddamn if he didn't have me arrested. I need to find a ticket out of town, pronto."

2. "I was barely able to get from the airport bar to Missouri without offering to blow a gay flight attendant. His rejection would've been awkward."

3. "I am a goddamn mess. My only hope for survival is getting multiple child support checks. Also, fuck them kids."

What respect I had for mootles died when he was found dating that Boxxy chick. 4chan was a waste of my life. I wish I could have it back.

You literally just quoted me saying "The shit with Logan was nbd though" are you blinded by your incel tears or what?

> Management gets a happy ending to their story.
> The talent gets a fucking KF thread along with their addiction and mental illness.

So it like a smaller and worse version of Hollywood then, right?

 

[AnOminous]

Leave a note professing that he was a trans woman and wanted to be buried in a dress as Rachel Violet Raven Kaynaka. Something Awful would have had to martyr him and declare him Saint Lowtaxia.

Plus he'd get his revenge on the Farms because we'd have murdered yet another tranny.

What a waste.
Could have blamed it on KF and created some drama at least.

He died as he lived, a low-effort faggot.

It sounds to me like you're projecting your personal insecurities onto her account of events.

Was Chinkwife fucked in the head in some way? I've seen a few posts here saying his exs were all bpd or messed up somehow. I've been sorta following lowtax's downfall for years on sass and here and I always had the idea she was pretty normal. Yes she married him but I don't think he was a huge fuckup at the time, just a goofy mf.

Also, will $10 allow me to change the text on the headstone?
