Something Awful's ex-owner and BPD lover, Lowtax, has committed suicide

https://kiwifarms.net/threads/richard-lowtax-kyanka.1222/post-10428949

Apparently he shot himself. I'd link right to SA, but it's a pain in the butt to navigate without an account

If it's true, darn. He made a fun place and then self-righteous :marseytrain2:s took it over and ruined it.

Something Awful is the forum equivalent of a guy going from saying a slur every other sentence to spending half his day talking about social justice on Twitter. Come to think of it, aren't a bunch of breadtubers ex-SA users?

SA basically created Twitter culture via 'weird twitter' and beandogs and shit. Probably their most shameful contribution to the internet tbh

I think you're referring to at most 5 individuals. I’m sure you consumed their content on SA though, thanks for sharing.

The idea that SA spawned anything other than a horde of :!marseytrain:s is unfiltered cope

I saw your pathetic game-alongs and your FYAD. You were all done with life before Digg, and trying to claim the work of your betters is pathetic.

Oh, I get it now, you have a personal grudge against SA. I'm surprised that you're unwilling to admit that SA has been so influential in turning the internet into a pile of garbage for someone who's so bootyblasted about it.

They let it get ruined. Their gaschamber forum was one of the funniest fricking places I've ever seen on the internet and they let the softies with no senses of humor ruin it all because they thought they would have a broader appeal to normies.

They should have known what they had and stuck with it.

Lowtax was a dangerous combination of lazy and a sell out. Leading to a bunch of trains taking over and mass doxxing to happen which caused the site to go into a death spiral. And this was like 12 years ago now that I think about it.

SA walked so KF could run. So many internet shitheads draw their lineage back to SA.

I never browsed SA as I was too young and bad at English at it's heyday, but I remember hearing it was similar to 4chan in edgyness and internet trolling

It really surprised when I heard it became a SJW/ :marseytrain: haven

If true, the deadly mixture of :marseytrain:s, :marseydrunk:, and BPD was enough to bring him down.
