Cuttlefush posted:i think it was more all the domestic abuse that killed the income stuff wasn't it? people didn't really look into fyad too much until long after and his patreon was still fat, ignoring any site income. i wasn't reading the forums much then but consensus on fyad being all the things it was accused of being seemed pretty strong. plenty of people who read it or just weren't gullible fools knew what the deal was but i don't think could really get a word in until much later. https://twitter.com/g0m/status/1641538285917855744?t=ICUKo8zNdrmmYBZfAEK1xQ&s=19 Fyad posters say this when in the eye of the public, but behind closed doors in the coffee thread their behavior is very, very concerning

I'm glad fyad posters didn't get their community taken away but it was very very funny that Lowtax referred toth as Nazis when its full of goons like skylark, who would troll GBS into being transphobic by making threads about she wanted to drink hot cocoa with a cute boy or whatever

unclogged some memories of being told to look at lowtax drunkenly saying idiot poo poo on his gaming garbage streams after posting a lot and then getting taken to task for the dumb poo poo he said the next day and doing that repeatedly for a while. it is easy to forget how many layers of fuckups he would get under in... 2019? feels longer

Byron "Low Tax" Looper was a Democratic turned Republican politician in Tennessee who was convicted of murder for the assassination of his political opponent. While serving as the Putnam County Tax Assessor in 1997, Richard Kyanka applied for a job as his intern, although he didn't get it. So I would say his politics were to destroy your enemies and not to employ nerds.

Al! posted:everyone thinks lowtax was attacking them specifically during "the troubles" (corny rear end name needs workshopping) but the truth is he was doing the only thing he knew how to do: poo poo up his only source of income and therefore life Yeah... I've seen about a dozen different posters on the forums from N. Ireland, myself included. This does get confusing at times, especially when it appears in any UK/Ireland politics adjacent thread.

Apparently R Budd Dwyer is not the person Lowtax took his username from quote:Looper was found dead in his prison cell on June 26, 2013. Nearly two hours before Looper was found, a prison incident report shows he assaulted a pregnant female counselor and had to be restrained.[27] An autopsy revealed he had a heart condition caused by a combination of high blood pressure and hardening arteries; he also had a toxic level of anti-depressants in his system. sounds like suicide to me

Concept: a one-man theater production examining the lives of these two men with the first scene being the job interview and fading to black at the last scene after they both have destroyed their lives.

War and Pieces posted:Concept: a one-man theater production examining the lives of these two men with the first scene being the job interview and fading to black at the last scene after they both have destroyed their lives. i like it, however, "one man shows" are notoriously hard to sell... for good reason: they usually suck poo poo and are done just to save money for a more expensive show hogging up the season budget. a two-hander is much easier to sell, and i think the opening scene, the two men sitting across from each other in liminal space, could be interesting, theatrically. plus then you get to have someone to act against, which helps a lot. a one person show thats not a comedy special, well, i dont like them. and ive seen a lot of them. and produced a lot of them. a LOT.

Its not like they posted the toxicology reports for internet randos, so it might have been a two for one there. I think we can all safely say what Lowtax's politics around child support was at least

This is revisionism. I dont know the origins of the name and Ill concede that it came from thread regulars and not the taxman himself, but that was absolute the title of that subforum for a few hours while people looked on asking wtf dude
