There can't be a quick recap.
Ralph rose to some minor prominence during GamerGate, but since he didn't have the charisma of Metokur or smug british accent of Sargon or insane grifting abilities of Milo, he ended up as a bottom feeder with his blog, where he posted "alternative" news. He always had drinking problems and thin-skin, but he wasn't so bad as he is now. He had some minor spergout over that "behind Arby's" joke from 8chan and then they catfished him for dickpics, but nothing serious, since after some time he got jailed. To be honest, jail helped him, since he came back thinner and didn't dive back into the liquor from the getgo. His thread was basically dead too.
He came back from jail at the right time though, because Krautist was caught red-handed running gay ops on some right wingers and this led to the series of debates between skeptics and alt-right, since back then gay debates were preferable format. The most popular of them was Spenser-Sargon debate hosted by Andy Warski and of course many others jumped on the bandwagon. However, it wasn't just debates to prove who is right, it was more like a Jerry Springer show, where they had no problems with ad hominem attacks and other shit. Metokur found this format entertaining and endorsed it, but people like Sargon, who at that point saw himself entering real politics and was higher on his own farts than ever, was looking down upon it, since "it didn't help the culture war" or some gay shit like that. He was also mad because he wasn't a center of attention. All of this is now known as Internet Bloodsports.
I am not going to torture my memory with recalling every IBS cesspit, but the most prominent were Baked Alaska(?) with Baked Alaska, Morning Kumite with TonkaSaw, Andy Warski show with Andy and JFG and Killstream with Ralph. I mention them, because it quickly turned into Battle Royale of internet spergs, where all you had to do is to stay alive longer than the rest. Killstream outlasted all of those because:
- Baked fucked himself by trying to squeeze into Ice Poseidon circle and turning on his fans to impress some thot, that cucked him in the end. It didn't play out and he burned that bridge to move to grift another movement instead.
- Warski Show died because Andy and JFG parted ways, because Tonka told him it would be better. It turned into a wreck by that point anyway.
- Morning Kumite... Oof, like Ralph later Tonka decided that he was the star of the show and it all went to shit. He later got caught running gay ops on Andy. Then challenged Andy to a fight and you know the rest.
All those trashfires kept Killsteam from dying, not to mention BoulderStream, Carl going after Metokur and his self-immolation after that, etc. But the problem was that eventually he ran out of targets and it happened exactly at Knoxville. At that point Killstream was banned from YT after raising money for kids with cancer and it obviously hit it's numbers pretty hard. Also, Ralph's drinking problem became apparent. At Knoxville he took an unfortunate picture where you could see his gut and you know the rest, however, for some reason he took it really badly, so people kept adding fuel to the fire. He made it here and lashed out at Null because he thought that he is better. And from there it only went downhill, some time later his wife left him and then he was streaming so wasted, that he couldn't start OBS for more than an hour. He then got a little better in spring - early summer of 2020, but then went back downhill so far, that now everyone's seen his sextape.
Now stop derailing this thread.
They are. Anyone, who spends their days seething over some barely functional human and lashes at anyone who doesn't, should kill themselves.
