InactiveRichard "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"
Momtax is the only side that counts anyway since being Jewish is through matriarchal descent.
His mom being Jewish would explain a lot. She seems to fit the overbearing, overprotective Jewish mother stereotype. Then again Lowtax went to a Catholic school and married a Korean woman. At the very least she wasn’t any sort of observant Jew.
Given the Jewish population in Kansas City I could see a Hebrew school finding a Jewish Ph.D to be principal, but not enough they’d have a total goy be one for a decade at a school specifically for religious education.
Come on, lady, tell us what we really want to know: what caliber bullet did he use, how long did he take to die, and how much did the scene look like a Jackson Pollack painting?
Oh Ashli, no just say thank you for the support/donations just leave it there. You're not gonna help anything, change any sort of narrative or anything here.

I completely agree. That's something that's been upsetting me recently. One of Lowtax's daughters had to say goodbye in the Youtube comments of a video of her recently departed father shoving sausage in his mouth for nickels. All of this is being blasted out on Facebook, Something Awful, and I just can't see any of it being good for them.
While he did blow money on stupid shit he would have still been fine and rich if not for the drug addiction. His addiction was even compounded by wanting to be a medically approved drug addict so besides the drug expense (legal and illegal) he had to pay doctors and surgery bills to keep up the pretense of needing all his drugs.
I think what Null said on his podcast was 100% correct. Lowtax was incapable of dealing with any level of discomfort, even just normal existence was too much. He needed to be high all the time or “his spine” was in agony.
I think he had problems with drugs for years but it seems like when he got hit with some big tax bills and the responsibilities of his third kid, with a wife who expected more than him staying in bed all day, he went all in on the opiates and benzos. Nobody can afford to do that for very long. He almost hit the wall but Goons bailed him out with the Paetron and enabled him to stay high as balls for another year and make all kinds of terrible decisions as a result (Logan).
I think he killed himself not because he was going to be destitute from the divorce settlement but because he knew he wouldn’t be able to sustain his incredibly expensive drug habit anymore. He could have admitted he had a problem, gone to rehab and tried to rectify the disaster of the last ten years - he would have found plenty of support. I think most ppl just hated his lies and denial of the very obvious.
But he didn’t. He thought death was the better option. Giving what many people have said about Lowtax avoiding his problems (by drugging himself into a stupor) he was ready to die rather than get sober and face reality.
I’ve been curious if Lowtax really had his mom and wives/GF snowed about his drug dependence. They seem to recognize he had a problem but then think it was really just because of his back - which is BS. I just wonder if anyone ever tried to get him into rehab or confront his problem or everyone played along with the “poor Lowtax he’s got terrible problems with his spine.” It’s common for families to go along with the charade rather than confront the ugly problem and have to deal with an angry addict.
OT reply about movie shit
Uncut Gems isn’t a Adam Sandler film, it’s 100% a Safdie Brothers film. Sandler didn’t even want to take the role but they were convinced a likable Jewish guy like him was perfect for the role. He was really great in the film but he was just an leading actor cast in it. It’s Safdie film and that’s why it’s a universe a part from an actual Adam Sandler film.
Everything else you say is true. Sandler has always made films that help his buddies stay employed and have fun. He has more loyal friends in Hollywood than probably anyone.
This is a really good point. Lowtax could stiffed his exes on child support and his mom still would have financially supported him. She would put him up in a modest home or apartment and provide a budget for necessities, but that’s it.
No more money for painkillers, hookers, or whatever vices he could satisfy on a whim.
Jesus Christ, Ashlii, I know Lowtax bitched about it a lot and you're grieving and looking for answers, but be less of a gullible dupe please. It was a meme boxing match against a fat German film maker 15+ years ago. Lowtax got knocked down like 3 times and then the ref ended it. The other critics got similar treatment and were partying with Boll at his beach house the next day. None of their spines crumbled to dust over it, forcing them to become opioid addicts. Lowtax v. Boll wasn't wasn't Billy Collins v. Luis Resto no matter how much Lowtax has blamed his addiction on it.
Hope they don't cremate him. I want to dig him up and steal his skull and his embalmed micropenis. Also want to take a shit in the casket before closing it back up.
Oh Ashli, no just say thank you for the support/donations just leave it there. You're not gonna help anything, change any sort of narrative or anything here.
The quip about telling her they had to wait to get her immigration sorted out because it was expensive is BS. Waiting meant she was in danger of deportation and had no way of working or driving in the USA. A immigration lawyer would cost $1-3k to help with a spousal visa that got fucked up by an overstay.
If Rich truly was busted broke that’s amazing because he made an absolute ton of money for many years. But drugs can make even rich people go broke fast, they drain cash at an astonishing rate and you make terrible decisions while using them.
She seems oblivious to the problem that he was an addict but then started claiming he had terrible back pain and got Rx addictive drugs. Like it didn’t seem obvious the back pain was a way to continue abusing drugs? He was given drugs for his “back pain” instead of being upfront with the doctors that he was an addict. He used the physical complaint to get more prescriptions for drugs.
Then again it’s rare for one partner to be bonkers strung out and the other partner not also be using on some level as well. Sometimes it’s what brings them or keeps them together until one decides to change.
This may or may not be the reason Ashli has always been so circumspect about the drug issue. This is the first time I can recall her clearly saying he was an addict and even though it was painfully obvious to everyone who saw Lowtax. She never clarifies what he was addicted to and gives credence to his back pain stories. A boxing match 20 years ago and a fall down the stairs don’t result in a spine crumbling to dust, laying in bed for months and needing constant narcotics. It’s weird she even reaches to those two things to try and justify his back issues. He was an addict and needed more drugs is the reason. Back pain is a favorite complaint of drug addicts because it gets them narcotics if they are insistent, any shady doctor will magically find nebulous things to Dx and after being high for years they have zero pain tolerance.
I don’t think Rich was evil, he was just your basic bitch junkie. He just had way more money to enable a habit than your average addict so this shitshow got drawn out for more than a decade.
-mentally ill
-clearly had a personality disorder on top of his mental illness
-an addict
-extremely lazy
-extremely immature (I don't just mean his sense of humor; I mean he was chronically incapable of 'adulting' and was terrible with money)
-used to leading a lavish lifestyle
-situationally conflict averse (for all his aggressive bravado, shit talking and GOOFTROOP irony when he had power during a conflict, he would take any conflict he didn't have the power to will himself the victor of extremely hard and let it eat away at him -- dude was still bitter at Uwe Boll a decade and a half after everyone else stopped caring)
-spoiled and used to getting his way, either via throwing SA money at problems until they went away or having his mom bail him out
-physically, verbally, emotionally and financially abusive to his romantic partners
-bereft of any marketable skills or real world job experience, due to his years of not working
-an unlikable asshole with no actual friends whose social life came solely from lording over a forum of trannies and autists
So, with all that established, lets look at his life over the past year:
-his marriage fell apart and he started banging a girl only a few years removed from being in High School who was even more mentally ill than he was; I fully believe his string of wives and girlfriends over his life helped him manage his medication and did pretty much 100% of the 'adulting' in the household, so in their absence, his mental health started to tail spin and his addiction ramped up further
-his income contracted by something like 90+% from its previous level, practically overnight
--compounding that, a bunch of his assets were put in escrow due to his impending divorce
-despite the income woes, he continued living the same lavish lifestyle and basically pissed away all his savings because he fundamentally did not know any different way to live
-he had conflicts with the law, the courts, both of his ex-wives AND Logan, etc. and didn't have the power to make them just 'go away' like he did for conflicts on SA; instead, he stewed on them -- and if he's still so angry and bitter about Uwe Boll, you can imagine how much moreso he was over all this
-he tried half-heartedly to look for a job, but his laziness and immaturity relegated the job hunt to basically consist of hitting up Facebook friends in his area and asking if they had any leads
-the few job prospects he did happen upon nope'd out after finding out his history of abuse
-and as he had no friends, he had no system of support once he was banished from the forums
He then gets hit with a VERY unfavorable divorce ruling that not only strips him of the rest of his savings, establishes a steep amount of child and spousal support for the next 2 or 3 years but also , I think more crucially than it's been given credit for so far, completely obliterated his "Courts have never said I'm abusive or engage in domestic violence, so suck on that gooftroop" narrative that he's clung to like a life raft in an ever more stormy sea ever since the Logan debacle when the judge ruled that he engaged in domestic abuse.
Lowtax was nuts, bitter, in the throes of severe mental illness and addiction, and his life had fallen apart completely in just about every way imaginable. No doubt in his mind, everything had been taken from him; even his "well, at least I've never been found to be legally abusive" narrative. He was an atheist and so had no religious motivation to not kill himself. He had guns. He probably felt he only had one option that would give him any control over the situation and hurt those that had hurt him, so he took it.
This 100% and he's basically saying when the cases against him got dropped or amended down, that means the original event never fucking happened. Megan didn't show up for a court date so he never abused her. Logan didn't bother flying out for a trial since she got out and will never go back to Lee's Summit again and his charge was amended down so the "sweaty toes" incidences (there were two right in a row) didn't happen. Just absolute juvenile thinking and the MRAs eat it up and threaten anyone who suggests he actually did anything ever.
Plus the back pain and nerve damage shit was a self-fulfilling prophecy, as I was saying earlier. He was definitely into pills specifically ambien, benzos and painkillers since the early 2000s if not before and went the white-collar way through junkiedom. Opiates especially fuck up your pain receptors permanently so you'll always be in some pain without them and your tolerance will just get higher and higher until you OD. Regular aches and pains from being middle-aged, fat and lazy become unbearable, and you also have depression from withdrawal. And you sweat like crazy and have GI issues. [Hmmm]
TBH I wouldn't say I was surprised about his death, but I didn't think it would go the way it did. For all we did was document his retarded junkie abuser posts and look up public court records, we did have a hand in it but he still would have blown $400k (or insert any number here), lost the divorce case and shot himself if we didn't. We definitely made Ashli's case in court easier for her and her lawyer to document, and at least I do know, from a couple of brief conversations with Logan that we definitely convinced her to get out and get away from him for good. With the sheer volume of girl simps coming out of the woodwork crying, he would have just kept doing the exact same bullshit for the rest of his life if he still had one. (He'd been doing it all along so far, why change it?). I guess I can celebrate that Lowtax never ended up killing a bitch, if nothing else.
I feel the same way about Chris, though never intimately involved I'm aware of the main events in Christory for the most part. I think that Chris would have ended up abusing Barb and going to prison no matter if KF or Bella ever existed. He may even have transitioned on his own without "trolls," as he was already queer by the time the original goons became aware of him.
Hope they don't cremate him. I want to dig him up and steal his skull and his embalmed micropenis. Also want to take a shit in the casket before closing it back up.
I haven't seen any really good iNTERNET grave plot disrespect since that "An Hero" kid that died over an ipod back in 2006.
If you do it, take a photo and don't be surprised when we have to disavow you but keep your content. But do it. In League of Legends.
Oh Ashli, no just say thank you for the support/donations just leave it there. You're not gonna help anything, change any sort of narrative or anything here.
Come on, lady, tell us what we really want to know: what caliber bullet did he use, how long did he take to die, and how much did the scene look like a Jackson Pollack painting?
True to form, Lowtax would always throw a fit and rage-quit when people pointed out the error of his plans, or whenever he tried pushing for something. Rejected by FYAD again? fine, I'll create BYOB. Rejected by both? fine I'll make Helldump and lose all semblance of a community that was left. Rejected by troons? fine I'll just quit and sell the forums. Rejected by the court? final I'll just ragequit life.
