My bad. I heavily skimmed through the essay.
Well, that explain why I haven’t heard much about this fat sack of shit.
reading through Todd google document, it makes Kyle look even more like a loser and a failure.
Lina Morgan used to be Dany Roth and the accusation is that he kissed Jourdain without consent. Dany Roth is Toddintheshadows' cohost on the Song vs Song podcast. Jourdain is Kyle Kallgren's wife>This has been going for over 2 years and now they felt the need to do a response. Todd put the blame on Lina's mental health issues on Jourdain even though it happened around the time he admitted to creating positive reviews in order to have access.

Tbh, I don't see Todd engaging in a lot of drama these days, and I kind of feel inclined to take him at his word here, at least about Jourdayen being an abusive lunatic (though I agree it is stupid af to blame her for Lina having mental health issues. A false accusation of sexual assault from a terminally online public figure can't help but we're talking about someone who clearly has a lot of other difficult shit going on in their life). He's not too bright but I get the impression he learned some kind of lesson from Gamer Gate. If you look back at the last girlfriend's claims of "abuse", they are pretty absurd. Like, literally "he stole my blankie." I think it is more likely that if Kyle abused anyone, it was his friends. The old girl threatening suicide is also a big red flag.
It's not PC to say but a lot of abuse survivors often fall into toxic behaviors beyond just self loathing. Someone on twitter pointed to a
a series of essays about a woman who abused the shit out of everyone, including friends, her kid, her husband. Well, afterward the (now ex) husband became a complete manipulative, abusive shit himself to his friends and went through girlfriends much like his ex like toilet paper. The behavior matches up with both what Todd says about Kyle and Jourdayen and what I have witnessed myself with friends/family/acquaintances.
I think if Kyle and Jourdayen ever split, we'll see them both repeating this cycle. Kyle, for all his "intellect", doesn't seem the type to be self aware enough to break it. Like a lot of fake woke misogynists he will probably flock to another abusive asshole, blame everyone else, then wonder why no one is "there for him" anymore.
Edit: Yep. I am pretty much convinced at this point. If I had any skepticism towards what Todd said before, Kyle and Jourdayen just decimated it with their responses. The only thing I will give Jourdayen is that she is 100% about these people having no emotional intelligence. If they did, they never would have hung around her and Kyle in the first place.
