    Hating on furries seems super anachronistic on the internet of today, it was something that was popular on Something Awful 20+ years ago, who cares about furries now?

    There was also always a very short distance between picking on furries and picking on other ”weird” people including the LGBT community, which isn't surprising since SA at the time loved using the F-slur as a generic insult.

    There are probably people well into their 40s who still think ”Cliff Yablonsky Hates You” is hysterical, that's possibly even sadder than all the people who are still South Park brained.

        I know, although the culture had started to change long before Lowtax died. Even before he was outed as a domestic abuser, SA users thought he was like some kind of useless internet landlord who collected money through the site and his Patreon while doing nothing. Turns out he spent that money on living in a McMansion and leasing a Nissan GT-R.

        Most of the chuds also either left the site or actually grew past early 2000s edgelord internet humor.

            The one thing I can't fault Lowtax for, getting rid of the hentai creeps was obviously the right move, and I doubt anyone could've foreseen what a massive cesspool would grow out of that.
