The classic:

>To truly appreciate how Tao Lin changed Megan Boyle's vagina, one must appreciate the incredible endurance and stamina Lin brings to the bedroom. Where average males deliver a hundred to two hundred thrusts per copulation, Tao Lin exceeds 10,000 in around a half hour period. Megan Boyle's beef never had a chance. Her dainty veal slices were transformed by the hot crucible of Lin's locomotive hips pummeling and drubbing and smashing her beef until it grew as swollen and gnarled as a wrestler's ear. Lin must have marveled over time as he watched her beef blossom with each subsequent sexcapade until Megan was bashful about shorts and skirts and came to prefer yoga pants, which allowed her to tape and tuck her vajayjay jerky. Like an Earth boring machine grinding bedrock, Lin bored into Boyle to free her from herself, to give her the aesthetic charms of a wounded war veteran. Megan would grow to love her beef, to be proud of it. She liked that Tao had made the beef, that it was his muscular jackhammering that turned her bushy peach into a frizzy-headed split pomegranate

"alt lit" internet poet, meaning: part of a small group of slutty "i write in lowercase and do drugs and don't care about anything lmao i write like um all irreverent and ironici guess?? like a young person online???" broads from around 2010

mostly centered around this chinaman >>18456134 who is like a knockoff david foster wallace. he got moderately successful and then surrounded himself with midwit self harmers who would sleep with him in exchange for getting their "i hate my dad" poetry published

sad enough on the face of it but the pseudo-scene (can't really people who blew a chinaman for less than 5 minutes of fame a scene) is now over ten years old, so the real answer to your question is, it's a woman either pushing 30 or over 30 who hasn't done anything except coast on her 5 minutes of fame from 10 years ago, for 10 years

the one you see getting spammed the most is rich and well connected through her B-list celeb dad so she occasionally tries to get a podcast going with some other dime a dozen 30ish hipster whore but nothing quite works out. as to the question why you keep seeing her here, partly she posts herself here sometimes (or used to) because she has nothing else, partly there is a guy here who is obsessed with her and another one (>>18455079) from that group.

the obsessed guy also used to write/edit these big pictures of their feet or talking about their feet or editing screenshots of their tweets to be about feet, and post them constantly because he thought they would catch on as a meme. can't tell if he is actually a waifufag for these old skanks, or a friend of theirs doing free viral marketing simping for them, or sad that his memes never caught and trying to act like that's part of the joke
