I would never have typed these words but I can 100% confirm she stayed in contact with him after his scandal. Multiple times they talked on the phone, at least according to him. She told him she got run off SA for "not being leftist enough". They commiserated together about the site being a "circular firing squad".

Without going into too lurid details Logan appeared on goon Facebook and caught Lowtax's attention, resulting in him leaving his then wife and child to meet her. This would lead to a messy divorce and Logan moving into his home, which then led to him physically assaulting her. The expose of the assault, along with a number of other matters, ultimately made him sell the site to Jeffrey.

Oh its better than that.

Richard losing twitter and not being liked here went to boomer posting on facebook and ran off to Salt lake city for more than week to have sex with another woman under the guise of "pitching a script" and recusing from some bad therapist or something. His wife saw the bank card statements. Richard came home to see that his wife and daughter we re gone, first wife took her to a shelter.

rich started having a melt down on both facebook and here and couldnt grasp he did anything wrong. He then moved in the new woman. blah blah blah drinking and drugs and then because of "sweaty toes" she shook him awak and he hit her.

At that point goons stopped donating to the SA patreon, he went from pulling like 10K a month to less than one so he sold to jeff.

He then went on to try to become a streamer, lost his divorce and ate a bullet.

Reminded of the news that Lowtax and Zoe Quinn partnered up to write a medium article.

Dude for whatever reason kept finding women who desperately wanted to be involved with him in some way.

Also Futa Snake who used his death thread to both argue his case and re-reg a bunch of times to defend him.

When the news broke into the wide open that lowtax constantly committed adultery and was a woman-beater, he would write these screeds on FB about how he was the most innocent human being on earth and everyone was just out to get him. His profile page would be swarmed with women defending him (including one who wrote a post about how they first met at the airport* many years ago) and slobbering for him, to almost everyone else's consternation. At least one became a mod on his stream I think? Something also went down on that stream where apparently a popular member of the stream / discord passed away, yobgoblin (who was admin of the stream) was very upset and because he was upset about this, lowtax banned him.

Futa Snake was a Deeply Weird person who was eager to start a ton of drama with FB goons, who did not bite at all from what I'm aware. Then we never heard about her until the yikesroo thread where she claimed she had relations with him and that he allowed her to sell his art as NFT, etc. I can't be bothered to look for the opensea link but the last time I checked earlier this year, nothing at all was sold.

e; oh drat I should have read that whole post lol, my hip hop operating system joke is destroyed

to be semi-serious I guess since I made a dumb post and had to edit it, Lowtax was an abusive addict. Also, before that (and probably during that), he had moments where he was very funny and charismatic and the creation of Something Awful was cool so he was a kind of cool counter culture figure. He was probably also straight as far as anyone knows? All I'm saying is, weirdos are always gonna be drawn to figures like him, in a case like this it's just that only women will find those attachments because those are probably the only people whose attention he would reciprocate

My most charitable possible interpretation is that after being subjected to crazy internet witch hunts, maybe Zoe Quinn was open to being convinced that Lowtax too was a victim of such slander and she bought it without much scrutiny. But also holy poo poo that article came out like 3 months before he died so idk

I remember checking out his album via NMP3s :devil:. He had one decent song, that he posted a demo of in BYOB of all places, and the album version was way worse for some reason. Way worse mixing etc., I have no idea what he was thinking.

I forget the name of the song, but it had a cool string section bit that was heavily de-emphasised on the album mix and a bunch of sampled dialogue from some 50s sci-fi movie. It probably wasn't actually any good in retrospect, but memory is a tremendous liar.

I recall seeing screenshots of them being a huge jerk on Lowtax's Facebook page about the whole Logan thing. The most charitable explanation is that they bought his story without question.

Ok well now the phone number thing makes some sort of creepy sense. Also lmao that “champion of the downtrodden”, KM went to fuckin’ Lowtax of all people for sympathy. This is the same guy that said, “I can’t be bigoted towards transwomen because I masturbate to them”.
