Moralfagging over Phil saying retard is stupid, but it is still funny to make fun of Phil for it. So much of his stream the last five year or more has been dedicated to the "I changed" narrative. He has to cling to that narrative because he is still haunted by things like the Dead Space 2 clip. So he really, really wants to spin his setbacks into him being a victim being canceled by a leftist mob. Like calling Teespring "left wing" for taking his store down (when it reality it's probably because it was completely stagnant and hadn't sold a single thing for over a year).
So for me, what I'm mocking is Phil's hypocrisy. He could have leaned into the "I'm being cancelled by these politically correct lefty faggots and they're why no one will sponsor me," narrative or the "I changed and matured, love is love, gays and the LGBTQIA+ are heckin valid, I am in fact glad that this video game has replaced it's titular main character with a strong independent capital B Black single mother, I don't say those kinds of things anymore and I was wrong to say them in the first place," narrative. But not both at the same time, which is what he wants to do.
