I'm not talking about Keffals here. What I am talking about was reported in a newspaper but is common knowledge to longtime NYC2600 folks.
A couple podcasts on the person they are referring to:

Oh, and the real Torswats allegedly turned out to be a California teenager: https://www.wired.com/story/torswats-swatting-arrest/
When you know, you know. :)

Also, I can only rely on memory here, but I believe that Ollam only deleted his tweets with Keffals in the previous few months since Mutahar announced publicly that he was investigating Keffals for a video.
Not in the wake of other less visible creators voicing literally the exact same concerns. Not the doxxing campaigns, not the Catboy Ranch stuff and not the DIY hormone website stuff.
I get it. He's a very busy guy...but if you're going to engage in activism you need to be extra guarded about who your associations are with.
Maybe, and while most are definitely quite progressive, I would hope most of them (including Deviant) do what they truly believe is the right thing. He has since deleted all his posts relating him to Keffals, so it's possible he just didn't realize how deep the rabbit hole went and has since chosen to cut off ties.
