Smith married a feminist in 1999 and his stuff went downhill pretty fast from there.
He went from edgelord to trying to make his edgy takes fit within an acceptable feminist mold.
I was a long time member of his View Askew message board before it became overrun by Feminists who call literally EVERYTHING sexist. Once Jen was in charge of that board, it went from moderately like Mayberry lounge to "you can get banned for the weirdest things.". The only personalities allowed were white knights and Feminists. Anyone else would get brigaded.
Like seriously. We had a star wars thread and Spork_Girl and Katy decided to come in and talk about how Star Wars is super sexist and that Princess Leia in a metal Bikini was outrageous misogyny, whispered in Jenn's or Americo's ear and got the thread locked until the participants of the thread were willing to acknowledge it and the toxic masculinity surrounding star wars.
Kevin abandoned his boards for twitter years earlier so him shutting it down was almost a blessing.
