nobody gives a poo poo about the stupid off-site or ZDR or forums squabbles or any of that poo poo right now.

this thread and the other ones exist because lowtax’s girlfriend and the lady who was running our front page has accused him of assault and domestic abuse and I believe her

don’t poo poo this thread up with other bullshit

i'm afraid that this community is going to blow up or dissappear really soon, and i want it to stick around in some form. that's why i brought up the offsite idea. my bad if this isn't t he appropriate place for that

they are entitled to their opinions, and also I did not treat the issue as seriously as I should’ve of when I decided to be the first one to engage with it.

Lowtax hit his girlfriend and has been accused of abuse in the past by other partners. that’s why this thread exists, and that’s what we’re here to discuss. nobody gives a poo poo about other dumb poo poo right now.

i didn't know about lowtax's personal history prior to this, and thought that by contributing to this site in the form of avs, donations, getting banned and rereging etc. that i was helping to keep the lights on. hearing that in reality lowtax was pulling in 8k/month from patreon and buying $100 mail order cookies with the money and beating up romantic partners is rather disheartening.

Abusers cannot be allowed to hold power in people's lives. For as long as Lowtax remains in ownership of the Something Awful forums, he will continue to use his power to attract and abuse women. Lowtax maintaining ownership represents a clear and material harm - this is not a matter of abstract morals, but a clear link between now several cases of Lowtax's status as the webmaster of the Something Awful forums, and his ability to continue his abuse.

Lowtax, you abusive shitpile, give up the forums or permaban me.

we’ve always felt like talking about these things in public would just result in Lowtax purging the mods and installing his own yes men. it’s happened before. we rationalized with how, that wouldn’t help the community, so we just hoped he would be satisfied with his Patreon money and go away.

today in many ways represents an inflection point where that is impossible. I love something awful and I’ve been a part of this community in one way or another for more than a decade now, literally since I was a younger teenager. I feel strongly about how it is a place with good people that has done good things for those posters.

but ultimately if the site will burn because Lowtax can’t help himself from being abusive to his family, then I guess that’s the way it goes.

I hope, vainly, that somehow this ends with the website intact but Lowtax, for whatever reason, having decided to simply go away. perhaps, we can make it impossible for him to ban the people he doesn’t like if it’s the entire forum.

but that’s probably naive. I’ve been thinking about what I might write for my own permaban message, so as to deny him that.

it is a sad day. I hope Logan Day is healing, however. that’s what matters, not the forum
