It feels like these lolcow stories always end tragically or maliciously.
Jessi Slaughter got put in a foster home.
Star Wars Kid was suicidal.
Alexander4488 aka the Game Dude fled the country and is now hiding out presumably in Asia after a sharp mental decline.
Nick Bate is in to prison for a very long time.

And now Chris-chan did this, although he may skate because he has done serious crimes before and apparently has a good lawyer.
Amusingly, like >>6 said, it was a huge story, particularly on Twitter and introduced a lot of normgroids to the lolcow thing. By breaking into the mainstream, he unknowingly opened a can of worms by causing a wave of carpet baggers who want to leech off of his infamy and then the spergouts regarding his pronouns and such.

I feel bad for the communities around lolcows like the KF, who now have to restrict registration and privatize other communication because a wave of norms are interested after the extensive coverage, which sucks for them because even though I don't hang out there too much the attitude of the place seems one of the last big sites that doesn't take the internet and net drama too seriously. I also feel old as hell after feeling nostalgic about a community dealing with a newfag wave because of media coverage. the more things change the more they stay the same I suppose.
