Fair enough, my only experience with detractor communities is through here.Replies don't work again, so I'll do it this way. My post doesn't mention this forum or Kiwi Farms. I said detractors, not Kiwi Farmers, I want to be very clear on that.
But in general I don't see the comedy in suggesting ways of grifting or being greedy to a person that is already very greedy and after acting shocked that he in fact is grifting by said methods.
If one of our arguments is that we hate Phil for scamming dumb people, how come most of these ideas come from detractors?
The hypocrisy is mental.
My two cents, the people who get upset at Phil because he scams dumb people are lying. Again, maybe I'm limited by only interacting with detractors on here, but I don't think we try and claim the moral high ground given that we have absolutely no problem making fun of Phil's paypigs. I mean, there's a reason we call them dents. I think it goes without saying that they're dumb, but they're not incapable of making decisions. And I don't know if even they believe Phil's lies. It's been mentioned time and time again, but I don't think anyone is left that actively supports Phil because they think he's one missed payment from getting foreclosed on or having his utilities shut off. A few years ago, yeah, I think some naive paypigs legit believed it, but now it's primarily people like OIC who are in it for some weird LARP. Those detractors sound like they're following in the footsteps of SoK, where they feel like they have to act morally superior to Phil, probably because they're upset/jealous about him and need to cope.
But if they're not people on here, I don't know if there's anything that can really be done. I mean, even if they were people on here I don't know what can be done besides finding increasingly creative/desperate ways to call them autistic. I think a general thread on "detractor fans" could be interesting. I don't know how many there actually are, but it does seem like there's been at least a small influx in them. I'm thinking people like Keven Burnstein, who are very obviously not the diehard Phil fans they LARP as, but by "trolling" as fake fans, they've basically become exactly that.
