I think ppl just assumed I was a girl due to my previous avs, when anyone with a brain would recognize I have a fairly 50/50 split amongst my avs historically

They're just characters I liked/identified with, it's not that deep

i wasn't reading sa much when all the troubles poo poo went down. i saw the vice article and bnr pop up and i've seen people talk about the troubles and koala's march but idk much of what actually went down - who were people so mad at and why?

the short version is that a few bands of psychos were after anyone perceived as a posting enemy. by which they meant "anyone who is not with us". no one knew what "with us" meant. the most virulent band was the KM-adjacent crew who said SA was insufficiently safe for vulnerable groups and insufficiently leftist

when they were eventually thrown out made bnr naturally there was a creepy sexual harassment scandal literally in the first 2 weeks of the joint's creation so you know they were doing just fantastic at protecting women online

it was Big because lowtax got influenced by them, shortly before he had his fall

all you need to know is that lowtax closed FYAD and then when he was getting torn apart after he was outed as an abuser he reopened FYAD and tried to pretend nothing happened while FYAD roasted and threatened to bodyslam him repeatedly and he closed it again

lowtax literally clicked the Nuke button when trying to delete FYAD forever, including archvies

and the only reason it didn't work is bc jeff saw that in the Matrix or w/e and disabled it

it's the single greatest thing jeffrey has ever done

lowtax made a video with his daughter after the shmorky incident where they called him a pedophile and lowtax showed her some of shmorky's art many LPers were angry about this and lowtax shadowbanned them and in protest many of them autobanned themselves

And it's dark and there is nobody driving And something has got to give

IIRC several people were upset at Lowtax because of his filming a video of his young daughter making fun of Shmorkey while covered in maxi pads or something? People treated them as thin-skinned and humorless at the time, but, uh, yeah

a lot of it happened when the abuser stuff came out. LP makes content so a lot of people were like "well we make content and that drives signups".

imho at least how dumb that is depends directly on how much drama you made on the way out. 99% of LP makers, including myself, are complete nobodies so pretending like anyone should care when you take your ball and go home was ridiculous. but a lot of us just were like "well gently caress it then", left a forwarding address, and stopped posting until jeff took over.

I might be misremembering but I want to say TieTuesday severed from Lowtax a long time before all this stuff came out because he got bad vibes from a joke Rich made and thought, hmm, this guy's probably a shithead I'm out.

Now Tie makes enough off his streaming career to afford a house. It's not jerma money but it's a living.

i wa snt reading/posting much and heard like 3rd hand about Evil Kiwifarms Doxxing Harrassers and went "roger that" due ot trusting the ppl telling me + too much twitter brain. only after i actually read stuff mtyself was it clear it was some deranged nonsense and the ppl telling me also hadnt looked at what was going on properly. v nasty behavior of invoking the worst stuff possible hoping people would be wary of questioning it due ot the severity
