Bigot Brigade Something Awful and Friends - The roller-coaster train-wreck embarrassing downfall of a Web 1.0 giant and its tick offspring like from Cloverfield

Supposedly word is already around the "internet comedy writer" circles online that Lowtax is pretty famous for Jewing his writers as it is.


This whole wild saga starting since December 2019 has been incredible. I don't think I've laughed so hard in years after reading "OH MY GOD YOU BANNED MY TRANS FRIEND AND HIS TRANS WIFE!!!!!!"

Probably took one look and realised you were a man.
Can't figure out why anyone would stand him up:

Had a little lol over the recounting of his performance review, where he finds out literally everyone at his job fucking hates working with him, and bursts into tears at being "dead named" when, you will be surprised to learn, he hadn't even changed his name in the first place.

Huh, Shiska lives in Chicago. He should meet up with Fire, these two have a LOT in common.

Fire could give him some advice on applying for SSI after he stops waiting tables because of transphobes.

That all reads like he's a total piece of shit and everyone hates him, but the restaurant management is too afraid to fire him because of Clown World backlash, so they gave him a small raise just to say they did.

Christ, if Clown World ever ends and businesses quit kowtowing to these lunatics, he is fucked.

I can't wait to hear more from the life of this contemptible privileged prick who has a breakdown in public because someone called him "Steve" or whatever his first name is.
 
All of that and he STILL got offered a 50 cent raise, which is pretty damn good.
It sounds like he works in a restaurant? Generally restaurants aren't known for giving raises to the host staff (what I assume this guy is doing). Their "raise" is being promoted to Server.

If this dude is a line cook, then just lol.

Being a line cook who has trouble delegating your tasks while under extreme stress sounds like a great way to burn down every kitchen you work in.

Restaurants pretty much know that their line cooks will be drug addicts and idiots. Someone more capable will do most of the prep work and the line cook will pretty much just slap shit in a pan. Burn em and Turn em

I have worked with linecooks that couldn't handle the stress and pace of a restaurant. They usually just snap and scream at the wait staff and other cooks.
 
That last line. "It's totally just because we can't afford to pay anybody because we're poor, you guys." Your boyfriend lives in a fucking McMansion and binges at restaurants and bars every single evening. Eat shit.


Andrew "Garbage Day" Miller actually showed up for a little bit during the get-together Lowtax did when he closed his office. Andrew was a much cooler guy than Richard. I have fond memories of when Garbage Day posted an Awful Link of the Day about a furry convention that was planned out to be a straight-up sex party at a family hotel, and the hotel saw the ALOD writeup and was so mortified that they cancelled the convention and called Andrew to apologize.
 
I’m so glad Bogan has returned to her serious business woman, speaking to lowly non-stake holders, posting style.

Those few months working at a staffing agency really turned Bogan into a regular Blake from Glengarry Glen Ross. “Coffees for comedy writers, not you disloyal pansies that want money and can’t see the future!”
 
I can't find this post. Is it in another thread or did Lowtax delete the post entirely?

I forgot what I meant to post. If someone gives my account its edit function back, I won't doublepost any more.

This one is actually really important. Lowtax is claiming he akways lost money paying front page writers, for 20 years. This means the front page never turned a profit even in the early 2000s, when there was no social media to compete with. The business plan they are pushing now was dead in the water even in 2005 when it was actually viable.

LOL "reasonable logic." I like this thieving piece of shit taxsplaining how just because he's fucked over every single person he's ever had business dealing with, this time he can really be trusted on a deal that amounts to "work for me for a couple months and I'll pay you maybe if I feel like it lmao gooftroop."
 

imagine a brand manager not understanding that the point of having a good front page isn't direct monetization where you make back every penny you paid a writer for their article. companies like vice understand that these are loss leaders used to build your brand as a whole. or to put it bluntly, you take a loss on having a good front page to keep your patreon afloat.

he acts like he's trying to revive a brand when he's really just trying to fix his worsening personal finances.
 

That last bit astounds me. How it reads is that Lowtax is too fucking lazy to do any actual editing or quality control and too stingy to pay anyone else to do it for him. Once he's decided a writer is worthy of the front page, he just posts whatever the fuck they publish without looking at it. Kind of like how admins run the modqueue, really.

The result is that it's not actually much of a surprise that this got posted.

Oh, and he's loaded the forums up with intrusive ads before and got angry and defensive when people complained.
