- Mr. Tomlinson's feud started after members of the now-defunct Reddit site r/opieandanthony got his Twitter account suspended, causing him to threaten some bored trolls who never heard of him with a libel lawsuit. The trolls responded predictably.
- Mr. Tomlinson has been instructed many times by friends, family, police, and attorneys to stop engaging with his trolls, and that continuing to provoke them will cause him to be trolled even more. Mr. Tomlinson wilfully ignores this advice
- He would eventually file a defamation suit against 60 anonymous people which was dismissed with Mr. Tomlinson being ordered to pay $34,762.25 for opposing parties' attorney fees.
- He ended up paying $83,736.99 due to his unsuccessful attempts to dodge the court-ordered judgement, for which he faced jail time and contempt charges.
- He also filed 2 frivolous restraining orders against people who had engaged in First Amendment-protected behavior (one for texting him and another for attending his contempt of court hearing), both of which were dismissed.
- Early on in the lawsuit, Mr. Tomlinson vandalized his own motorcycle and submitted a false police report blaming the people he was suing.
- He accidentally sent surveillance video of the alleged vandal (himself) to a troll.
- Mr. Tomlinson has never shown this video footage during any of his media tours, and desperately tries to scrub it from the internet.
- Mr. Tomlinson claims that the surveillance video was initiated by his "motion-activated" camera, which only collects "30 seconds at a time", despite the video being 32 seconds long and beginning several seconds before the "vandal" enters into the frame.
- On 13 April 2023, the individual responsible for calling the fake emergencies (SWATs) to Mr. Tomlinson's house, a SWAT-for-hire dealer named "Torswats", revealed that Mr. Tomlinson ordered the SWATs to his own house because he wanted to get in the news and sue the MPD for money.
- Torswats would repeat these allegations in private chats which were not intended for public view.
- Mr. Tomlinson has gone on multiple news tours since the SWATtings started in order to promote his victimhood brand, utilizing the services of Lenora Claire.
- He also recently sued the MPD for money.

I don't entirely agree with what you're saying but I do agree he's an early to mid 20s kind of author. In any other life where he didn't make it as an author he would have drank himself to death a lot earlier, and his mentality that he kind of glorified is something you put behind you by 25 or just give up. Not to say I'm not still chugging vodka until I puke blood, but it's no life to resign yourself to.
Blood Meridian fawkin ruled. I go deep wit da Cormac Mccarthy. Erock put on no country for old men.
Anyone who makes drugs or alcohol their personality is a total faggot. That being said, he's got some entertaining reads.
I'll cop to being a Bukowski faggot. I've been to the bungalow where he lived when he wrote Women and many other works (pictured), his favorite liquor store (The Pink Elephant), and the post office where he worked in downtown Los Angeles.
That said, the bitterness and misery of his earlier stuff appeals to me less and less as I get older. My favorite novel of his is Hollywood, which was written when he was already rich and famous. It's the story of the making of the movie Barfly, for which he wrote the screenplay. It's very funny and irreverent, with great observations about various Hollywood types, such as Mickey Rourke, Sean Penn, Dennis Hopper, Werner Herzog, and the Israelis who financed the movie.

I like that unlike all the other "LOL Drugs/Drinking!" Authors he doesn't really try to glamorize it. He shows being a drunk for what it is mostly. His character hangs at seedy places with alchies and scumbags, fucks gross women sometimes and otherwise just wastes his life. Sure it can be fun I'm sure but it doesn't give the reader the idea "oh I wanna do that". It's pretty clear of you do that there's only one direction you're going, even if you are not exceptionally talented
