Richard "Lowtax" Kyanka, the founder of the now dying Something Awful has reportedly died at age 45.
Details about his sudden death are unknown, though an article I read claimed an account allegedly owned by his ex said he shot himself because he would not be able to afford debt payments.
It should be noted he backstabbed everyone who called out the regressive left in defense of those freaks, and it should also be noted he is a domestic abuser and got canibalised by the same subhuman animals he defended at the cost of his site's reputation.
Let's hope the now ruined Something Awful transitions into an archive.
4chan was created because Lowtax banned anime.
He could have theoretically kept the SA community going forever had he not beat his wife and gone regressive.
4chan today is running on the fumes of it's dying frequently abused legacy, and 8kun was ruined forever by the actions of a retarded tradcon who replaced global mods with personal shills, replaced /b/ and /pol/ with new boards directly under his control, banned loli for personal reasons while having a lawyer dig up a pedo case as an excuse, and ended board migration early when the loli ban got announced.
