Louis "Lou" Gagliardi / Ash Franzetti / Alex 'Ace' Maddox / Tegan Ainsley / Taryn Amita / Diana / gothickitteh / ashkat724 / Lynn Brooks / @acekatt - #T R A M S _ C R O W _ F U N D *buys 12 iPads* "Anyone got $600 they can spare?" *spits on cancer patient*
Anyhow, I'm willing to believe this exchange actually happened, but with 1 minor caveat - Lardbucket Lou was probably chomping away on Double Big Macs, kid asked for a few fries, and Lou told him to pound sand.
Fuck you Lou, when I’m done babysitting this virtual meeting I’m clocking out early and I’m going across town to buy my niece and nephew Arby’s and play smash bro’s with them while their parents prep for inevitable return to school because I’m feeling spiteful towards your constant using of your own family members in your grifting and also because I actually value their happiness while shit hits the fan in the US.
“But Biggest Fan, aren’t you using your ability to randomly go spend money on your family as a haha I’m better than you pedestal?”
Yes, yes I am. But the difference is I admit it and I know I’m petty. But also I was going to do this anyway since I’m bored and need a fun day out.
You should try it some time lou, actually leaving your house and experiencing life.
Curious here. We obviously throw the word autistic around a lot. Not well versed in it personally, so I have little idea what autism really looks like. Does anybody who knows what they're talking about think he would actually be diagnosed autistic? (or something that would get him disability)
He has mentioned being diagnosed bipolar (which can be the basis of getting disability) but that it was back when he was a kid.
Speaking of disability I notice a distinct lack of response to this accusation. Might he be staying silent because it's too close to the truth? Then again he'd probably be complaining about caseworkers.
Reading this thread which is totally something he NEVER does he’s most likely going to start doing just that soon, along with diabetes whether he actually has it or not.
Hm. The idea that he is like this solely because he never had effective discipline as a child sounds plausible, especially since my brief observation of his mother is that she is a pushover in their family, having complained of living with multiple men who don't do housework. She was likely not an effective disciplinarian for him and the dad situation is obviously complicated in his childhood.
Speaking as a qualified armchair psychologist with a degree from the University of the Internet, Lou might be the starkest example of borderline personality disorder that I've ever come across.
BPD is a pervasive pattern of instability in interpersonal relationships, self-image, and emotion, as well as marked impulsivity beginning by early adulthood and present in a variety of contexts, as indicated by five (or more) of the following:
Chronic feelings of emptiness
Emotional instability in reaction to day-to-day events (e.g., intense episodic sadness, irritability, or anxiety usually lasting a few hours and only rarely more than a few days)
Frantic efforts to avoid real or imagined abandonment
Identity disturbance with markedly or persistently unstable self-image or sense of self
Impulsive behavior in at least two areas that are potentially self-damaging (e.g., spending, sex, substance abuse, reckless driving, binge eating)
Inappropriate, intense anger or difficulty controlling anger (e.g., frequent displays of temper, constant anger, recurrent physical fights)
Pattern of unstable and intense interpersonal relationships characterized by extremes between idealization and devaluation (also known as "splitting")
It's hard to find one of these criteria that Lou doesn't match in spades. Everyone here knows about his mood swings, his impulsive spending, his anger and extreme black-and-white thinking leading to constant political chimpouts on Twitter, his suicide baiting, his paranoia about KF. Really, you could replace all of these criteria with a simple "someone who is like Lou."

I know somebody with a genuine BPD diagnosis. I am proud to call him a friend because he is taking his therapy very seriously and is making steps to be more functional in the world. Lou is treatment proof since nothing is ever his fault according to him.
Saying that he eats out of the local Macdonalds dumpster, he probably doesn't have the required nutrients that make the brain happy and healthy; resulting in him a mentally unstable fatass crybaby.

I work in Special Education & have a family member with severe Autism.
Autism itself is huge spectrum and without actually knowing Lou personally, based on what we've seen, I don't know if I'd diagnosed him as Autistic. At least not legitimately Autistic. Allow me to explain:
Autism refers to a broad range of conditions characterized by challenges with social skills, repetitive behaviors, speech and nonverbal communication. It can be range for perseverating on things, not getting social cues, to being non-verbal. It's a developmental & neurological condition.
However, there is also what I like to call 'internet Autism' : people who's parents didn't bother to actually parent them, didn't discipline them, gave into their every whim, who uses the internet for validation & asspats & to live in a fantasy world. They may become enraged and even violent when they are asked to do something they do not want to do or have their ideas/views challenged. I had a student in the past who was home schooled until 7th grade, then when he got to public school, he flipped the fuck out because he couldn't eat whenever he wanted, he couldn't leave class whenever he felt like it and he had to go to certain classes at certain times.
I tend to think Lou is more of the 'internet Autism'. His parents never gave him a swift kick in the ass saying "If you're going to live here, get a goddamn job." Yes, yes, I know his story, but I can't help but feel Lou is actually very comfortable in his situation: he has a roof over his head, his pitybuxs, he has enough fast food to keep him happy & no one asks him to do anything. Why would he give that up? That's a life many people dream of. If he were to leave, he'd have to get a job & be accountable to others & he simply cannot do that. He may not have the mental capacity.
But then again, I'm just some shmuck on Kiwi Farms. What do I know?
This, as a fellow SpeD worker, all this. Autism is a very broad sprectrum but there are some concrete foundations in the behaviour you can just kind of pick up on after a while if you work in the field or know someone with it. Not to sound like a no it all, its just something that starts to happen. For some people, its the tone of their voice that can be the big hint. Not everyone with autism has this, but many have issues with just having this semi-monotone aspect of their voice (which again, can be on a spectrum). Internet autism is a good word for people like Lou- many people like this are just products of being from spoilt, middle class families who just are used to getting everything they want in life with no question.
I met someone recently who was very much, surprisingly autistic. Not in the sense they were non-verbal ect, just the complete lack of social awareness almost- it was incredible. This person was telling me how they wouldn't be able to work under someone else. They claimed if they had a boss, they would probably beat the shit out of them (non sarcastically). They described in detail how they would do it too, it was awkward. In terms of what employment they would want to have, they said they would work in game design, but as some kind of indie developer because they had to be their own boss, and the main reason was just that they didn't have any skills for anything else. I asked them to explain this further, and they proceed to tell me how they were terrible at cooking and cleaning. Basically shit at taking care of themselves. I still don't know how this related to employment, but they were adamant that their only option in life was this plan they had for themselves. As cringe as a lot of the convo was, the main things I actually got from it was that this person was very resistant to change and did not like being told what to do by anyone. This is a big issue in young children with autism, but its something they have to learn to cope with as they get older. School and special education especially is there to try to help with that, but its up to the individual to keep going with everything they've been taught.
On a developmental level this can be really hard for autistic people- basically at some point through your lives as a human you become aware of the concept of empathy. This is why young children can be pretty dickish- they literally don't have a concept in their brains that anything other than their own needs matter, and also why babies are incredibly selfish. They have to grow and learn that their actions have effects on other people and that they can't just have what they want when they want it. When you have conditions that delay these developmental milestones, you end up with people who struggle to understand people's thoughts and feelings. I think this is the main difference between true autism and internet autism- internet autists have the ability to empathise but they are too self centred to bother to really do it unless it benefits them in some way, some genuine autistic people also have the ability to empathise, its just a lot harder for some and this is especially true when you are interacting online because they have to make a very conscious effort to think and identify things in others. Lou knows that in writing his posts the way he does, he is trying to play on people's emotions and get what he wants out of it. He understands people's feelings, but he doesn't care about them, he only wants to get his own way and if anyone tries to get in the way of that he will turn on them (see: ark).

I've been thinking this as well for a while, but also i think it's important to note that all personality disorders tend to overlap with other personality disorder traits. Lou very obviously has narcissistic traits as well, many people here have noticed them, but maybe not enough for someone to make a full diagnosis. BPD is also often mistaken for bipolar disorder and autism, with narc symptoms also getting mistaken for autism too. There's so much overlap with personality disorders a lot of people still consider some of the diagnoses to be controversial, as its not a very cut and dry diagnosis as opposed to something like schizophrenia or anxiety disorders that have really specific symptoms.
Lou has familial issues and has done from an early age, with biological family members being out of his life and possible interpersonal trauma if he's telling the truth. All of these things are risk factors for personality disorders, as well as a reason why someone would not learn proper social skills and be more likely to turn into someone who wants to live their whole life through the internet to escape from their life problems.
The only issue with throwing around BPD as an armchair diagnosis is that the "Recurrent suicidal behaviour" etc is usually a LOT more pronounced than what lou does. Empty threats are one thing, but in BPD you're very likely gonna get people who self harm a lot. You could argue Lou eating himself to death is a form of self harm, but still in BPD there is usually more physical harm done to the body in some way. Lou makes many empty threats to get attention, which comes across more like a narcissistic behaviour than a borderline one. In BPD there is genuine fear that drives the behaviours and the attention they want is usually from one specific person (a favourite person, if you will) such as a close friend or partner. They hurt themselves because they think it will in some way either get that special someone to not 'abandon' them (which could be anything from getting them to talk to them or not to break up with them) or as a way to punish themselves for doing something that has resulted in them feeling the way they do, or even as a way to regulate the insane amounts of emotional overload that can happen. Lou just wants general attention from the internet, its very temporary. Reminds me a lot of Kayla/Stray Sheep, just begging for asspats constantly and throwing out the "this is goodbye" every 5 mins to manipulate the few people still orbiting them into giving them attention. In return they do absolutely nothing for those who care for them, its just take, take take.
So yeah, does Lou have BPD traits? Absolutely, but the reasoning behind his actions don't appear to be what drives the actions of actual sufferers. He comes across to me as just an entitled slob maybe theres some actual deep set issues in that pear shaped head of his somewhere but i doubt we will ever know since he lies so much about what actually goes on in his life. Everything we get from him is all from a Lou shaped lens, its cursed data basically and the only bits of truth we get are from the picture and video footage he puts out that dig his own grave every time.
Man, he is absolutely fixated on this rent thing, he's almost as bad as Khordkitty when it comes to 'get absolutely fixated on a single (garbled misinterpretation of a) criticism and parrot it over and over to the exclusion of all else'. Hard agree with @Lou’s Biggest Fan that putting that in his bio without context really throws up a huge red flag for any newcomers to the shitshow... and interesting that he's updating that, wonder if he's looking to switch his grift focus to Mastadon since Twitter isn't rushing to dump money in his lap quite fast enough for his tastes.
Speaking of Mastadon, anyone else notice that he hasn't said a PEEP about Ark since he got btfo'd?
And as a final aside, looks like Lou has taken to reblogging Rabbie's tweets. It looks like this might be a little lolcow collab for a while, I'm super excited to see who proves to be the dominant grifter in exploiting the shit out of the other.
Maybe they'll date. Rabbie IS an intriguing match because hot damn, that girl makes Lou look almost dainty in comparison! I want them to have a whole litter of little pear-faced, wall-eyed sperglets.
There's so many cows I ship him with, this is so dumb.
When I read "who just wants to be friends" my mind automatically changed it to read "who just wants to spend your money". It took me a couple of times rereading that line to finally read what he had actually typed. Fucking weird, man...

You are forgetting that it is written in to the laws of creation that Lou is Fat and Nobody Wants to Have Sex With Him.
Though something about Louie Boy does strike me as him being the type to get a fat grifter GF against all odds, then sexually assault her when she doesn’t put out. He’s the exact kind of narcissistic entitled piece of shit that would view any woman that even attempts to have a relationship with him as his property and sex with her an entitlement as a result.
And why wouldn’t Lou be terrified of Aark? Lou knows his entire existence proved that he’s a liar and a grifter, and he knows that any investigation in to him will get him blasted for Fraud, and this very thread would probably be Exhibit A on trial due to the sheer volume of archived proof we have stored here. Speaking of, hello future investigator/prosecution! I hope you’ve enjoyed the thread up to this point! If Lou genuinely had nothing to hide, he’d have called Aark’s bluff and continued on, but the fact that he immediately obeyed like a whipped animal is extremely telling.
I have to wonder what other avenues Lou might try for grifting. Twitter is drying up, Mastodon has been alerted to his shit and admins trying to enable him will just bring bad press down on those instances and get blacklisting to happen, he might try to go back to reddit at some point but I don’t know. Lou is going to run out of pitybux targets soon and when he does he’ll get desperate and resort to drastic measures and I just hope I’m online to see it
