Creepy Wikipedia@lemmy.world•Richard "Lowtax" Kyanka - American internet personality who created Something Awful, had a history of domestic abuse, and later killed himselfEnglish
3·11 months agoI frequented Something Awful Forums and Television Without Pity between 2000-08 and it’s interesting to see the contrast on the type of users that posted there.
While SA was into a lot of racist, sexist, misogynistic, homophobic humor (that admittedly I found funny), TWoP’s “woke” (I mean that in a good way) outlook confused me at the time. Nowadays, TWoP is how the internet (well, mostly) conduct themselves and SA adopted that too over the years. I too find my SA antics (that I carried over to other forums and social media) shameful.
That said, it’s no surprise that when the more recent Lowtax fiascos happened, he never received any sympathy from the forums and they quickly moved to oust him. Compared to when the first instances of his bad behavior bubbled up the surface (how his engagement with Emily ended) from 2002 wherein he got plenty of support. He even wrote a lengthy piece about it despite proclaiming his hatred for what he calls E/N.

1·2 years agoLike you, I’m not into the entries you mentioned. So, I try to post “oddly fascinating” articles as much as possible, and even tweaking the premise of this community on the sidebar to cut down on comments saying that it’s “not creepy”.
Some of my favorites are: Shell Grotto, Wooden Spoons Museum, HitchBOT, Fremont Troll, Kryptos, Michael Larson, and Georgia Guidestones. There’s more on our pinned list.
