Lowtax really couldn't care less about gender issue bullshit. He cares about his piggy bank filling up each month with sweet tardbux. He isn't an SJW at all, in fact at one point, iirc, he identified as a libertarian that leaned to the right.
The fact that he let his site turn into the SJW horrorshow that it is now is basically the result of laziness and institutional inertia coupled with his overall tendency to just "check out" of things that bother him. Despite how he acts online he doesn't like confrontations at all and would prefer to have others handle it, whoever they are, and to enjoy the profits.
He didn't see the issues with Shmorky, I think, in part because of his laziness and ability to just "check out" of uncomfortable things as a way of mitigating his stressful life of marginally "running" a barely working comedy website that used to be sort of a big deal.
