No I agree with you and I am yet to see a response that makes sense.
No way in hell Phil is sitting there dealing with dental pain every single day.

It's just a detractor meme that his teeth are slaughtered nerve endings.
I don't think it's as bad as all that, but he does a number of things that people with bad teeth do, and I very much doubt they're in any kind of decent shape.
  • He doesn't show his teeth when he smiles.
  • As mentioned before, he has an odd way of chewing food as if he's avoiding bad spots.
  • His general self-care is garbage, and I doubt he does anything to take care of them.
  • His mushmouth way of speaking could be attributed to pain and/or swelling.
  • The way he swishes liquids around when he drinks. (Oral pain could be the cope reason he uses to justify to himself getting wasted 24/7)
If they were, as you put it, "slaughtered nerve endings", I think there would be a lot more pronounced evidence than this, and he wouldn't do stuff like his head-shaking jowl-waggling thing.
 
Close, he’s going to restream old Super Bowl ads and ack at them or be like “wow dood, a crying Indian, they could never do that today with cancel culture, just like how I got cancelled off the internet back in 2014…”


But only if he hits the member's goal. Which will totally happen in an organic way, and not the same loser popping up at the 11th hour to gift memberships to the same bot accounts he sent them to last month.
 
I watched 5 or so minutes of his oblivion gameplay and I had to save my desk from an assault of my head because he is so braindead awful. His alchoholism has really killed pretty much anything this guy has.
It really hurts because Oblivion is one of my all time favorites so seeing him trying to brute force everything makes me more annoyed than it should.

Funny thing is his member count seem to hover around 600 (isn't that a basic 50 -50 split now?). He can't get it higher but it seem to not fall below either. So maybe this is his new stable income for the rest of his streaming career unless a second whale comes along to prop the number even higher. How retarded must you be to pump 400 $ each month to keep this goal met? Well unless Phil decides to set a higher number which will totally show OrGaNiC growth.

And why is Phil even playing Signalis? That game came out last year. Is that a "hot new release that everyone is talking about"? Or is this his segway into the Dead Space 1 remake?

It's such a simple action RPG to pick up and play too, there really aren't any systems with hidden cryptic bullshit in them. The one to two short paragraphs of tutorial you get for every mechanic is all you really need to fully understand 90% of them. When I tuned in he was phailing at the speechcraft mechanic and couldn't understand how to make people like him more without having to bribe them. Art imitates life.

Phil can't get higher than 600 even if he wants to at the minute, because there aren't enough people who visit his sleep-adid of a stream to accept the gifted memberships. It's different than twitch which will just throw them at people, youtube makes people actively accept them.

"if you want to see Phil do"
"he will do"
why the fuck is he talking in third person? does he want people to think he has a social media team?

Unless Clark Dent buys hundreds of viewbots like last time, but I'm wondering if that earned him a scolding from his master, since that's the kind of activity that could draw YouTube's attention.
 
That's the part I'm waiting for. He's on a payment plan with the IRS for his backtaxes, but he is still supposed to be saving money to pay the ones due in April, and the wwe spending/constant zero balance in his account means he hasn't been. I have no idea what the tax bill is on 100k a year, but there is no way he is prepared for it. We are going to see next level begging over the next few months as the anxiety builds up.
This will be a big arc at some point, from the bank leaks I think he was paying $500 a month in taxes which is obviously nowhere near enough.

So each year the total he owes compounds as he doesn't clear the taxes due on previous years. Eventually the IRS will come knocking...

We also have to accept that his gotcha spending is probably listed as a business expense. It won't be taxable income. This is fraud as it's got nothing to do with his business but unless the IRS start cross referencing his streams with his itemised business account he will just get away with it.

This takes down his actual $120k earnings to probably $90k on paper.
 
Agreed, and the main evidence people point to are the retarded faces he pulls when he eats.

He's been pulling those faces since the first time he ever ate on camera. He's just an ugly mongoloid who does everything wrong. It's been said before over the years but someone with sore, sensitive teeth wouldn't do shit like "chew water" and swish it around their mouth. Doing that would cause the liquid to hit every sensitive area or cavity.

I'm sure his teeth aren't in great quality or anything, but I think this is a way overstated meme.
This reminds me of the Brendan Schaub conundrum: does he eat by extending his tongue out like a proboscis to grasp the leaves giraffe style because he's a retard, or because it's necessary due to excessive lip fillers? He's definitely a CTE mashed potato brain, but he also definitely has lip fillers.

Personally I think Phil is both incapable of doing anything physical in a normal way, and his teeth are a mess - because once I saw him gingerly eating a piece of cake like it was full of metal filings.
 
Dude, it was such a weird thing to say because of all the myriad of possibilities of what drastic thing he wanted to do, none look good. He was obsessed with a girl who, of course, didn't like him, so he wanted to "do something drastic". Like, could be he wanted to shoot up the school, he wanted to re-enact one of his wife beating pre-stream songs on her, anything. You have to be as dumb as DSP to say something so open ended about yourself doing something bad.

He was pretty evidently - to me at least - self harm/suicide baiting retroactively. He's always wanted people to pity him and make shit easier for him, and threatening to/admiting to wanting to shoot up a school doesn't get you pity, it gets a wellness check.

I've said it before, Phil is not depressed. At least, he wasn't at the time he said this shit. Now though....well an anxiety or depression disorder is probably the least of his mental issues. The way I've heard Phil describe depression, the way he acts, and the way he treats people don't add up. Mental illness and addiction run in my family and I've become intimately acquainted with both, from personal experience and from family members I'm close to.

Phil acts like an addict, he doesn't act depressed. Very few depressed people use it to garner pity in my experience. Theres a selfish aspect of it where you don't want to share your problems because you don't think they're worth sharing, or you don't want to be a burden like you feel you are, or - worst case - you don't want people to know you're planning to kill or hurt yourself. Phil has depression like the attention desperate chicks from highschool did: it keeps them from having to hand in homework on time and is so debilitating it keeps them from taking tests, but will clear up for post exam parties literally hours apart.
 
"if you want to see Phil do"
"he will do"
why the fuck is he talking in third person? does he want people to think he has a social media team?
I honestly wonder if it's either:
a) him inflating his importance by making it seem like he has a team of people managing his social media and other aspects of his biznis (though to be fair he does have a team of mentally ill unpaid interns making prestream slides, thumbnails, tip animations etc.)
b) him just being his usual low IQ autistic knuckle-dragging self, copying and adopting things from other streamers and Youtubers in form, but completely misunderstanding the function of why those people are doing the things he copied.

I lean towards b), though it's most likely a combination of both. Another example of that would be back during the KOGayming days when he introduced each video with "Phil here from KOGayming," something that he probably saw from RoosterTeeth, so he copied the form without understanding that RoosterTeeth had multiple on-screen personalities so it made sense to start videos with "x here from RoosterTeeth."
Another example of him adopting the form but not understanding the function is the sound-proofing foam, where he just haphazardly taped a few pieces of sound-proofing foam behind him which realistically does nothing to improve the acoustics of his room, but since he saw other schtreemers have it he has to have it visible too. The ring light and the LED lights are a good example too.

But what about the viewbots? OIC is absolutely stupid enough to use them again in order to inflate the member count.

Net income was like $117K or so for the 2022 tax year. If you want to be generous (lol) and accept his bankruptcy filings as facts that haven't changed, and lets forget inflation in between the tax years between then and now, that means a taxable income of around $57.5K a year, which I think is a 22%(for 2022?) tax bracket so....give or take a $12,662 tax bill to the feds, $3,165 quarterly they expect to see or else. This isn't bothering with Washington state's tax take, just IRS for the yearly estimates in 2022 that was public facing tracked, but factors obviously would increase or decrease that tax burden depending on what the true facts are that he pays "tax guy" to report for him and his wife separately according to his last year stated public claims on the topic. I agree with your point, 15 year begacy will be some serious shit, though.
