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"

There's been a years-long theory that he's actually substance-abusing, which could possibly also explain his odd health problems for a man his age. Seeing that blown up picture of his blown-up face, it doesn't really look fat, it looks swollen. There's something very weird about his whole appearance. I don't know if he actually is and it's kinda annoying when people build these elaborate scenarios when they have absolutely no information to back it up, but I very distinctively remember seeing a video of him where he was obviously high as a kite with his pupils the size of quarters in bright light. He sounds weird in this video too.

I thought he lived among the frozen dunes of Siberia, scavenging borscht and tattered fat girl porno mags.

He’s a little yiddle, on his fiddle, playing on East Broadway.
Oy vey!

I don't think it's really a "theory" at this stage. He's slurring and swigging beer in the video, and when his wife briefly moderated SA (before being run off for suggesting that the shrieking troons that make up its userbase be a bit more tolerant of other opinions) her username was "Lady Ambien". People who went to the weird strip-mall SA office say they never saw him sober.

That Lowtax is full of pills and booze, and has been for some years, is basically common knowledge now. The facial swelling is water retention through extreme boozing over a long period of time. And given that he has had major spinal surgery, and his history of getting hooked on things, it wouldn't surprise me if he was opiate dependent too.

He looks okay to me, like what an unkempt fat guy in his forties is supposed to look like. He's not Boogie tier or anything like that. A different thing is what he must be like on the inside, what with all that boxed wine and destroyed spine problems.

Move over Jarbo, Lowtax is the new owner of Kiwi Farms.

 

[plattschwanz]

Yeah, seriously. Considering one of the most infamous picture of Lowtax is him passed out next to a bottle of prescription meds. I’d say it’s not just theory but fact. Nigga even said it was cholesterol medicine lol.

You forgot the bottle of wine.

Lowtax, wake up plz

 

[The Manglement]

What I meant to say was that the kettlebell rant was, without hyperbole, the most cringeworthy thing I’ve seen on YouTube. I wonder if he watched it sober before pimping it out as something to be proud of. Maybe it was a parody of something and funny in that context? I just can’t imagine someone watching that and thinking yes, this is the lead for my comeback tour.

I don't think Lowtax has been genuinely sober in years at this point. It's actually pretty sad.

Christ, he looks like a century egg.

Yessir that bottle of booze and prescription bills on the table next to the comatose Dear Richard is merely conjecture.

Scumbag got his life ruined.
Good.

 

[Mister Qwerty]

When he talks he sounds like he's on the verge of crying in tears. Has he ever had sobbing mental breakdown on live streams?

 

[guccigash]

Even a fat 2001 Lowtax approves.

Lowtax, wake up plz

Lol that was almost 9 years ago. When he was closing his office he used to escape his first wife he made a post on SA inviting any Kansas City area goons to stop by and take anything they want. It took 8 hours for someone to show up and he found lowtax passed out on pills and booze.

 

[Ghostse]

Scumbag got his life ruined.
Good.

He didn't get his life ruined, he ruined his life.

He could have sold out on SA, had 10-15 million dollars which if given to a semi-competent accountant would have ensured he and his kids would have been set for their lives. He also could have put just about any effort into the forums other than zero over the past two decades, kept his status as Goon King, and had income for life. He could have Imgur before Imgur was a thing, he could have been twitch before twitch was a thing, opportunities that were already vetted by the community as shit nerds & neets want, that he pissed away and often drove off because it required action from him.

He could have also used his status as THE LOWTAX, and his degree to find a job or a volunteer effort somewhere. I think we're on "fundraiser to fix SA" number 5 or 6, and his paypig userbase keeps eating it up and giving him money. Hell, I think he even made a few bucks on his Mangosteen pyramid scheme, and probably would have made more if he hadn't gone full "DON'T CLICK MY LINKS" and just left it up.


That's why I feel zero pity for Edgelord Ozymandias. He's had multiple opportunities to turn shit around.

Christ, he looks like a century egg.

lmao, he got fat but I mean he does have a degenerative spinal condition and is essentially paralyzed from it

 

[Unog]

I wonder how much shit he's going to get for daring to even mention this site.
