Article title: Grummz: Odious Pervert, Failed Pornographer

All the information for this story is publicly available, at least it was until Grummz panicked and began trying to purge following a post from friends of the site, Western Kabuki.

Unfortunately for Grummz, the Internet never forgets. You can view the entire timeline here.

Video Title: Goonernomicon: Grummz | Part 1

The first domino in this was from a historical password dump, which lead to an archive search, followed by a trawl through historical WHO.IS data, which is a permanent record on the internet of who runs a website - If you have an email address and phone number listed, this is recorded for what is effectively eternity. This one datapoint allowed us to connect the dots of a particular persons online activity and business dealings.

Since 2001 Grummz has maintained a secret persona called Debbi Chan / Foxyfighter to write, commission, host, and film lesbian wrestling "catfights"

He was the original owner of a fetish forum, freecatfights.com, as well as several other niche fetish femmefight sites; at least two of which were taken down due in 2005 due to anticipated pornography law changes.

He boasted that he used a very expensive RED camera to film pornography in the 2010s, suspiciously the same model used at Red 5 / Studio 5 where he was an executive working on Firefall. Still Images from these sites explicitly outline Mark Kern as the creator/editor of the files being posted to Debbi's account.

He has caught wind that we have been digging through this and has since been purging/deleting accounts that we've already seen and thus know he's deleting them.

From Twitter:

WesternKabuki: Mark Kern led a double life as a pornographer who wrote, produced, commissioned, filmed, and directed fetish porn for over two decades

So some guy named Grummz I've never heard of used to make corn and now he's going to destroy the entirety of all left ideologies which he totally could have done before but didn't want to? I don't know who this dude is.
