Bush and/or Barack Obama.The death threat, which did not specify a name, occurred while Obama was president elect, and his use of the words "in the near future" could have referred to Obama. Larson spent nearly all of his time online promoting pedophilia and anarcho-capitalism, and owned or administrated , including a pedophile forum, Rapey. He had been banned from Wikipedia and RationalWiki on multiple occasions.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/Sarsaparilla/Archive Larson's political activism and frequent attempts to run for elected office focused on disgusting topics like advocacy for "benevolent white supremacy", classifying women as property, declaring Adolf Hitler to be a "white supremacist hero", and making pedophilia and child marriage legal. He spelled this out in a rambling manifesto on one of his main websites in 2018.
Larson's first known account on RationalWiki, "", was blocked for 2 years, starting during August 2012. This block occurred after Larson wrote a disturbing essay claiming child rape isn't harmful.See deleted essay. Larson created alternate RationalWiki accounts after his ban expired, including (active 2014-2019) and (active 2016-2017). Larson's Tisane account was effectively permabanned in April of 2021. His last two accounts were banned posthumously during 2022.

==Relationship history==

Larson claimed the first woman he had consensual, physically romantic relations with was a girl named Tiffany while in community college.https://archive.is/bHeGG#selection-1433.26-1433.35
===Rape and suicide of first spouse===
Larson's first spouse successfully filed a restraining order against him shortly before committing suicide in June 2015.https://www.newsweek.com/nathan-larson-incel-pedophile-congress-2018-virginia-representative-953227 His spouse was a transgender man named Finn, but Larson had always deadnamed and misgendered him. Stanley, J. Adrian. (11 Nov 2015).Nathan Larson admits he has "sexual feelings" for children, seeks custody of daughter. Colorado Springs Independent (Archive copy).
In a legal document dated February 2015, Finn said:
Larson admitted to raping Finn and having sexual fantasies of molesting their baby daughter. After Finn's death, Finn’s parents fought Larson for custody of the baby. In November 2015, a jury denied Larson custody of his daughter. The jury, presented with evidence of Larson's pedophilic desires as well as his own admission of rape, unsurprisingly decided he shouldn't have been left in charge of the girl.https://m.csindy.com/coloradosprings/nathan-larson-says-he-wont-seek-custody-of-baby/Content?oid=3515681
===Second spouse===
Starting at least before 2014, Larson was dating an adult woman living in the Philippines named Meshelle after meeting her on blossoms.com.https://www.visajourney.com/profile/198279-lysander/ He began writing on visajourney.com, a generic immigration website, about her plans to move to the USA and live with him. The forum strongly recommended against it, stating she would just use him for a green card. They said this was partially because Larson allegedly had nothing to offer her. Larson ignored their advice. During 2016, she came to the USA under a K-1 Visa and became a conditional resident of the US to live with Larson. They eventually married. During 2017 and after four months of living with Larson while he was unemployed, she separated from him; in a June 2020 thread on Nearcels, Larson referred to Meshelle as "my ex" when talking about her still using his surname. Larson claimed she split up with him over money-related issues.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gOEEHHc42tk (watch from 18:58 "His New Wife") 
Larson wrote on VisaJourney.com under his 'Lysander' handle that Meshelle filed a restraining order against him accusing him of sexual abuse. Larson implied that Meshelle was lying or exaggerating about him in order to escape her home country. He claimed she was trying to use the Violence Against Women Act to remove the legal conditions for staying in the USA and escape her home country.https://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/648200-conditional-resident-wife-is-using-restraining-order-to-qualify-for-vawa/?tab=comments#comment-8806609
After the break-up, the visajourney.com forum scolded Larson for not taking their advice years prior, stating he should have known she would break up with him before she flew over.https://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/648200-conditional-resident-wife-is-using-restraining-order-to-qualify-for-vawa/page/2/#comments

Since many thought Larson posed a risk to children and would act on his pedophilic thoughts and commit child rape, a petition in 2018 called "Put Nathan Larson in jail" managed to get over 1300 signatures.https://www.change.org/p/state-of-virginia-put-nathan-larson-in-jail?recruiter=261414436 During 2020, and well before Larson's arrest, a separate petition to jail Larson gathered 189,847 signatures,view-source:https://web.archive.org/web/20201123195240/https://www.change.org/p/the-fbi-needs-to-heavily-investigate-the-website-rapey-co-rapey-to-as-well-as-arrest-the-creator-and-active-user-nathan-larson now approaching 200,000 signatures (Some random citizens don't realize he was ever jailed or died despite all the news about such).https://www.change.org/p/the-fbi-needs-to-investigate-all-users-and-remove-the-website-rapey-co The petition provided evidence that "He [Larson] has two group chats via telegram in which he inappropriately communicates with girls as young as 11 years old.

==Politics==
===Libertarianism===
Larson was a member of the Libertarian Party and in 2002 campaigned to legalise possession of marijuana in Virginia.http://www.lpva.com/Archives/News/2002/20021126larson.shtml

District Chronicles. by the late 2000s Larson had become more extreme and wanted to legalise all drugs. Larson stood as a candidate in the and appeared in a debate on Cathy Lewis's TV program, What Matters on October 15. Larson's policy proposals drew laughs from the audience including his view to end compulsory education, arguing it should be optional.http://flathatnews.com/2008/10/24/congressional-debate-touches-economy-health-care/ Larson controversially argued for the abolition of almost all government services.Ross, Del Don.

In 2018 Larson argued that the should be repealed and that women should be treated as "sex slaves" and "baby factories."Nathan Larson is a pedophile and a white supremacist. And he's running for Congress. USA Today.
===White supremacy===
Larson was a candidate in the 2018 congressional elections in Virginia but withdrew before the election.Nathan Larson Ballotpedia. He published a "Congress campaign manifesto". This manifesto is an odd mix of libertarianism and fascism; Larson calls Adolf Hitler and Joseph Smith "white supremacist heroes" and defends slavery, describing non-white people as inferior and animals:
==Sites Larson owned or administrated==
Many of his websites disappeared due to a hard drive crash and a home burglary wherein his hard drives were allegedly stolen. A message claiming Anonymous was responsible was left at the scene.https://wikiindex.org/RationalWikiWikiWiki_(Leucosticte_iteration)https://web.archive.org/web/20180723131844/https://incels.me/threads/my-house-got-burglarized-today-and-my-hard-drive-was-taken.61327/ The rest he was booted from or left voluntarily.
Despite owning a few incel sites, Larson was not an incel (he had a daughter from having raped his first spouse) and rejected self-labelling as an "incel". Posts on incel forums also have criticized him, with one anonymous poster writing "he was married and has a daughter, why he associates with incels is a mystery to me."https://incels.net/threads/what-do-you-think-of-nathan-larson.1505 In a 2018 interview with Pod Awful, Larson instead claimed to be "voluntarily celibate".https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tu-ccyD2GY4 However, this contradicts his forum posts claiming he wants to commit rape so he doesn't actually want to refrain from having sex. He later started self-labelling as "nearcel", or "nearly incel".

==Larson's suicide note and last public writing==
Larson made a habit of running multiple forum accounts while in prison using his government guaranteed prison postage and his close friend Fukurou. All forum accounts used his most common alias 'Leucostiste', and were on public clearnet websites. Fukurou would transcribe the letters (often partially as they seemed like long letters), and also sometimes posted screenshots of Larson's writing from jail. In a letter dated June 2022, what seems like his last outside correspondence, he wrote a short letter where he acknowledged his likely demise due to his own actions.https://archive.is/Tqha8 
Larson died 3 months later at an Arizona hospital after being transferred to FCI Stafford prison from a California prison.
