I think we all know how this goes...
Now that mike posted here he's tainted. ESPECIALLY after side scrollers. The SECOND anything not kissing his ass comes up "the trolls got to him with thier lies".
BUT not at first, Phil is desperate for attention and validation since SF6 didn't make him the prodigal son of the FGC returned, I mean listen to that year end "I'm a winner I can feel it" coping rant. He hasn't had a viral tweet or any positive attention in over a year, a lot of people making fun of him and his takes
He will milk the shit out of this. the shit end of the detector sphere will eat it up for attention with the likes doody and suprcrzy making up shit theories taking phils drama bait, then when newman comes up and says "see no one cares" and he used mike for baiting views and attention he'll turn on mike like he did Sidescrolers, RTU, JoonTheKing, Daiphone etc etc etc etc
Mike, and no offense, will either do one of the 3 things people in this position have done...
- Oh well and move on
- Become a lolcow themselves like JoonTheKing and SideScrollers.
- Become a detractor realizing this first impression of him being a nice guy, was an act or they just neutrally attempted to help him out and the more they learned the more they realized people aren't picking on poor phil, the most likely scenario and like a majority of the older detractors.
THOUGHT this makes sense how he's been pushing this "nicer new phil".....for a whole half a street fighter stream AND is trying a NEW (old) channel just as new eyes will be looking towards him
