Designated Whiner Shitting Street - General non DSP-specific discussion and stupid questions goes here

[Devil's Advocate]

I'm sorry, but considering how upset people get even veering a little from the agreed-upon theories, I have to believe I'm on the right track with my skepticism. It suggests the experts are more emotionally invested than logically committed. You see me as getting in the way of that deserved gotcha moment that will surely arrive one day soon.

Yeah well you guys are wrong. You are never gonna bag DSP on a wrong conclusion. What's likely going to happen is this bull will drag on for three more years, while it gradually becomes obvious it never had merit and you've handed DSP a fat win, and it's awkwardly shelved because it begins to stink.

Alright I've said my piece so I'm going to stop shitting up the thread now and leave you in peace to continue theorizing. Godspeed!

How do the WWEC theorists explain away the annoying fact that Phil ran his live streams with an extremely dated Samsung laptop and peripherals bought in 2012, but was at time of purchase actually a second-hand refurbished laptop from 2010. Ten years enduring dog shit hardware. For that matter, why not invest in a better smartphone than an iPhone 6S. Not the greatest experience playing WWEC on a phone from 2016. I would imagine the topmost whales buy new phones every year to extract the most pleasure from their addiction. Very odd to blow $100 K on a mobile game, but force yourself to use older hardware.

A glutton for punishment? The king of suffering? Come on. Hard mode: don't just direct me to read subsection 5C-8 of the OP.

@ReentryPhantom
I am also a firm believer in killing them with kindness. Beating them to a pulp using passive aggression. Can you share the clip of DSP saying he doesn't play the game? Just want to verify the context of it, cos it sounds funny. Makes a good Twitter soundbite though.

Because he’s an addict with bad standards. It’s not that complicated. The model of phone he uses is largely irrelevant anyway since WWEC isn’t a high spec game.

Why would we ever take this compulsive liar at his word? Phil claiming something is good evidence for the opposite being true. If Dave told me the sky is blue I'd go outside to check you retard.

Personally, I think her watching his streams is a new development, maybe because of the documentary, her participation on stream, or maybe just trying to farm compliments for her 'cooking' in chat and being disappointed.

With that logic, this "new" development is strong evidence Phil is not as much of a habitual liar he is believed to be. With enough of these nuggets of verification, we can turn around the WWEC meme.

Detractors suffer from "whatever Phil says must be false" syndrome. So easily steered, and contrarian. All Phil has to do is tell the truth for the supposed truth seekers to purposely travel the opposite direction to spite him. Dipshits.

Phil's dream video game awards participation trophies every ten minutes with a checkpoint for every room entered. The game runs at a full 60 frames per second with no input lag. Subtitles are enabled and gamma is boosted by default. Streamer mode to circumvent trolling and defend against content ID matching exists. The game is a modern remake of a classic fantasy RPG that calls for lots of voice-over work. There is a character in the game he believes shares an uncanny parallel with his victimhood complex. The game is chock full of references only someone growing up in the 1980s would appreciate. The game had one inconsequential hilarious bug, that helped draw people's attention to his playthrough specifically and gave Phil one unit to criticize when conducting his fair and balanced review score. For some reason, the corrupt MSM panned this game providing Phil an opportunity to follow-through with his notion that only he will tell you the truth about games and everyone else is a paid shill. The publisher reaches out to Philip behind-the-scenes with the opportunity to play the game early, but Phil nobly declined. The game was free on his Game Pass paid subscription service. His 300-part playthrough blew up on YouTube surpassing his Spider Web of Shadows glory days. Famed YouTube personality PewDiePie passes away from an opiate overdose mid-playthrough providing Phil a slam dunk grandstanding moment that goes viral on Twitter.

Phil's dream

 

[Citizen Nappa]

OIC-esque wall of text that bashes Phil in a desperate attempt to get upvotes after far too many posts trying to say that Phil isn’t DownFromTheRafters

Either learn the Phil lore and stop spewing so much inane nonsense or shut up, get banned, and rope. Hell, I wouldn’t be surprised if you actually do know your Phil history and this is yet another OIC sock account, in which case you should rope even faster.

DSP proclaims that he's evolved as a person, and regrets saying bigoted things and cringes at his old attempts at humor, etc. But his old playthroughs are still live and monetized. In an old AtK from 2013, he says his plan is to play every game under the sun, and the cumulative view money will end up supporting him in time. I just think there's a major hole in his forced narrative, when the material he so regrets is still there and he's still profiting from it. The Side Scrollers would have totally aced him if they knew to call upon that hypocrisy. I suppose he would've made a lamebrain comparison to book burning or somethin.

I don't think I've heard Phil mention it very many times but he says that quite a few of his older videos have been demonitized and don't have ads on them. I think one of the times he said it was specifically in response to someone in chat calling him out on how he 'still profits' off the shit he used to say while pretending he's changed.
This is also why we get FakesydePhil now, even though the mask is continually slipping and he hasn't changed. He doesn't want his videos to get retroactively demonitized again.
Phil says "There's is no retirement plan" but I've also heard him go through this idea he has that if he shits out enough videos that his residual views will keep growing to the point that his YouTube paycheck will support him the rest of his life. Like he literally thinks of his shitpile of YouTube videos like it's his 401K investment.

I would have like to see the 'you're still profiting off your old bad behavior that toy disavow' thing brought up in that interview just to have some kind of newer estimation from Phil of what percentage of his old videos are demonitized. I haven't done the math for a few years, but back then something like 70% of the views he gets in a month were from old videos. It could be a higher percentage now as I think his total monthly views have dropped significantly since then.

Edit: I went through his channel. According to Social Blade he had 529,888 views in the last 30 days and his new uploads over the last month were 146,863 views, so currently 72.3% of his monthly views are from old videos.
That would seem to indicate the views his old videos are getting are dropping in proportion to his total monthly views despite his ever growing shitpile of uploads.

Money aside, the material is still there and is hurtful to some people. Phil cannot proclaim he's changed when the videos he denounces are still readily available to be seen. Like, clearly you don't want anybody to see the videos if you truly felt that way.

Two imagined responses:
1. There's too many bigoted videos. I couldn't possibly delete them all. Well bud, that's quite a problem there. How about a special event where top contributor gets to nominate a video to be deleted.

2. It wouldn't matter if I delete them because the detractors have all the worst moments re-uploaded regardless. He said as much during a PUBG stream that detractors are the real sickos for reuploading fapgate in order to show as many people as possible, whilst paradoxically claiming children are traumatized about the footage.

Point is moot anyway because he is clearly being two-faced. The alleged personality change is probably just a front to survive in a woke internet age. Maybe at this point he believes it himself due to sheer repetition. I do think the prestreams are lying practice. Daily exercise for the poker face muscles.

DSP has not once, ever genuinely cared for anything but his own literal self... see his dying parents arc, see Leanna's panic attack scenario where the biggest issue was the medical bill and her not making him dinner, see him parading Catherine on to stream when she clearly doesn't want to be there.

 

[Devil's Advocate]

Yeah, I don't think Phil is a racist anymore than the average Kiwi user. He's seen here biting his finger whenever there's a black person on screen. But no one is tracking how often he bites his finger elsewhere. There should be hard science here to convince me this theory is true. Someone is tracking the money, someone should also track the finger.

I want graphs and pie charts illustrating hard proof he's more bigoted towards one race over another. Account for the fact ethnics are shoved into every game nowadays because of quotas. Also, it has to be said in Phil's defense that I don't think anybody's gonna blame him on this one since I'd be looking away from the screen too if there was some shoehorned diversity shit in what might otherwise be a good game. Like, who has time for that. In those moments the hangnail is more deserving of attention.

This video is a pretty good listen if you have the time. There's some insight about Phil's relationship to his parents. To be taken with healthy skepticism of course, but not immediate disregard.

He literally moved as far away from his parents and still be in the continental United States as possible. He is waiting for them to die and give him more money, like the past 41 years.

He used to do an annual 'Top 10 Racist Moments' video but he stopped doing those and privated those videos. So he did put away a few videos where he was celebrating his racism as being hilarious.

It's funny though because Phil only cares about Present, literally this exact second, Phil and Past Phil is his scapegoat whipping boy. Past Phil is a loser who was fat, lazy, immature, an alcoholic, racist, bigoted, ignorant, homophobic, misogynistic, etc. but have him try to name a moment any of that changed. He tries to say he's changed but also says he's just not allowed to make those "jokes" anymore.

Connecticut is a shit hole. Who wouldn't jump at the opportunity to escape for greener pastures? You don't think a lower tax rate wasn't motivation enough for the greedy pig? Also, Florida and Texas were two potential candidates besides Washington. So it wasn't necessarily about putting max physical distance between his parents. I wonder if his pops has a travel discount for his decades with Sikorsky. Will Phil skip out on his mom's funeral to play Fallout 5?

Btw, are you aware Connecticut-fanboy Phil
became a Family Guy cutaway character in 2010 when he was a white hot popular household name?

Yes. Phil's dad gets a discount on helicopter rides from Connecticut to Washington state since he was a middle manager at a factory that made helicopter parts. Obviously.

A friend of mine receives discount flights for being an airport chef for several decades. Assuming Sikorsky does more than choppers, it's not so farfetched. Would father Burnell be excluded from an employee discount simply for working in the wrong division? When we know the company struggled financially due to poor budget allocations? Just throwing it out there as unlikely as it is.

Why would you assume the helicopter factory did anything other than build helicopters?

I did not assume that. I assumed someone who worked in (multiple) divisions of Sikorsky for a significant period of time might be eligible for a special perk. You are aware Dave was up and down the career ladder laboring in different aspects of that company? But you're right, you should never assume about anything important. As they say, assumptions are the mother of all fuckups. Luckily my assumption here had no consequences, and you're likely fixating on it to nitpick. I'll keep my pig ignorant mouth shut in future for fear an inconsquential incorrect assumption might snowball into the DSP forum suddenly losing it's famed phenomenal ability to suss out fact from fiction.

Sure sure dude. That's why you clarified after getting called out instead of just outright in your initial post I'm sure.
