People who follow Pigroach might be aware of this, but in case someone isn't; I picked out a couple tidbits, but the whole article is interesting as it relates to Mr. Burnelski:
"Trauma-dumping is oversharing trauma stories without considering their impact or to control others."

These are possible signs of trauma dumping:
  • sharing the same story repeatedly or sharing graphic details
  • constantly interjecting mentions of past trauma into casual conversations
  • not knowing much about the people you share your story with
  • intentionally choosing people who may feel more obligated to listen
  • posting detailed accounts of trauma on social media to a general audience

    Trauma dumping is common on social media, but overexposure to stories of abuse or assault may lead others to experience:vicarious trauma,
    emotional exhaustion, retraumatization if they’ve also experienced trauma

Phil is likely gay but subconsciously blocked all the gay urges his entire life and never actually explored the possibility that he's gay. If you grew up in the 80s and 90s, the word "gay" was used interchangeably with saying something sucks and was a common insult. A kid like phil who was scared and bullied growing up would have seen being gay as a very bad thing and would not want to be seen as gay so he just never considered he might be gay.

Phil has a very feminine personality though and would probably be happier if he just quit repressing the gay tendencies. If you think of the "hunter/gatherer" dynamic males and females have, phil definitely leans more on the gatherer side. He loves stuff like grocery shopping and errands and also loves stuff like decorating. For example I never knew a single straight guy living alone who would put up a christmas tree or even any kind of holiday decorations but Phil always did even before living with panda. Also the passive aggressive texts he would send to people like Howard saying stuff like "if you don't do X then we were never friends" is pure woman/gay man behavior.

Phil is probably gay and would be less angry all the time if he just let himself explore it but like everything else in his life he's just too lazy, he'd rather sit inside ordering doordash and playing mobile games drunk off his ass all the time to cope with how unhappy he is instead of doing anything about it.
 
I just don't believe DSP is a closet case, weird yes, homosexual no. Alt insider had a dent sea scroll about a girl that DSP was creeping on in the FGC and the hilarious fallout of it on the Alphaism radio program where the hosts were bullying DSP into telling the details of his messages. More speculatively, there was another dent sea scroll where the FGC people he was hanging out with, probably caught DSP jacking off and were calling him Monkeyspank, but they never called him a fag, queer, or fairy. They only called him a little bitch.

It might be this episode, but I will edit this link when I have time to skim through to find the correct episode.

I wish Phil had some real trauma to actually dump but he doesn’t so we get to hear every instance, real and imagined, of someone treating him the way he treats everyone. Over and over. Probably twice in the same sitting if it’s a marathon stream.

With infinite money I’d buy and have delivered straight to his front lawn an 20-foot cross, so he could climb up and nail himself to it.

Bold of you to assume Phail is capable of introspection. Not only does he come across as unwilling, I honestly don't think he can spend an hour of quiet contemplation of his many flaws. Phail's consciousness is filled with thoughts of acquisition and besting others.
 
“I gotta get this before January so I can write this off on my taxes….yes, that’s how it works”
Not everything your buy for gaming can be a tax write off, Phil. I wonder how much shit he got wrong whole filling his taxes.
 
I think if Phil were gay you would see classic-CWC levels of cope and seethe whenever people busted his balls over it.
It's worth noting that Phil has lashed out about almost every single tidbit that has ever been said about him here and from YouTube detractors. Except this one. AFAIK he has never said a single word about the suggestion that he is gay. It is a bit suspect that he will bring up tiny shit that has been said once by some random person, but has never even gotten close to talking about why he is obsessed with men's bodies, butts, balls, etc.

If your "business" is running a gaming channel, you can totally write off anything gaming related. Even if you never actually used it on the stream, you could argue that you were planning to and that is enough. He wrote off all of his WWEC spending, and as long as he says that he was building up the account with the intent of playing it on stream, it is deductible.

You can justify anything, however, there are things you can't do. Overstating % of mortgage would be one, if you have X meals deducted but in reality you're combining family meals would be another, and of course, overstating expenses. If you are running a business at a 1% gross profit margin, that's going to raise red flags.
 
DSP chopping bananas and fruit and proceeding to refrigerate them, then claim it spoiled because the bananas were all brown is such a self report. Dude doesn't know that's what happens to bananas when you refrigerate them. (oxidation) Alternatively they were spoiled and he left them in there for a lot longer than stated. This also means he doesn't actually incorporate fruit into his and Kat's diet regularly as he obviously doesn't know how to handle them. And that between him and Kat, they are skimping out cooking and end up DoorDashing as they literally struggle to cook for themselves.
 
Nah, his eyes light up whenever there are half-naked men on screen, Phil is a closeted homo.

Though I must admit I've never seen someone act this prudish when it came to women in media, the only other 'person' I can think of is that Klepek guy from GiantBomb, dude would literally cover his eyes and turn away when anything even remotely sexual was happening in one of the Yakuza games.

You mean like this?
 
JR was maybe one of the first and almost certainly the last deep connection he had with another human being, and when their friendship fell apart it genuinely fucked him up
Remember how Phil spent months drunk-dialing John Rambo lol
I remember him crying over John multiple times. But has he ever cried over the break-up with PandaLee?
Now that I'm thinking about it the time period Phil was drunk-dialing and pining over him fumbling an LDR with Rambo was also the time period when he had a 20 year-old self-described "nympho" living with him, and Phil instead chose to lock himself in his "office" literally 24/7. Leanna had to beg him for 1 day a week where sex would maybe be on the table, that Phil referred to as "underwear time", that Phil quickly turned in to a reenactment of his weekly trips to the mall with his mother. . .

In my thinking lately I get more Norman Bates vibes off of Phil than anything. Like the dude was basically dating his mom for years, and then when someone expected him to have an adult relationship with them Phil tried to recreate dating his mother. His mother also cleaned and did his laundry for him until he moved to Washington, and he constantly calls his current wife "mom" and when she was moving in he was excited to have her cook and clean and do laundry for him.
 
When it comes to Phil's mentality, you can't make the mistake of thinking like an adult. You have to place your mindset into a spoiled 9 or 10 year old from the 90's.

Girls are gross because they have cooties. Being married means you have a wife that cooks and cleans around the house while the husband works. Parents exist to give you whatever they want because they can just get more money from work. Big tough guys are cool because they can beat up all the bad guys. Poop and fart jokes are the height of comedy. Light up toys are cool and everyone will be jealous of them. And because he was largely raised by the TV, all main characters (which Phil most definitely believes he is) have a loyal best friend. In Phil's stunted mind, that last one is what he's really missing/has been chasing. Sometimes he'll insist he doesn't have time for friends, or that Khet is his best friend or whatever, but I think it explains why he took the loss of John Rambo so hard and why he was desperate to chase Sidescrollers, then KC crew, then whoever he could possibly interview.

If that’s what he actually said, this dude is a worse addict than I even imagined. This is absolute desperate addict cope.

It was interesting to watch his viewers tell him to get a 400 dollar microphone. Initially he balked and said it was way too expensive, but with no other input after that slowly started talking himself into buying it.

He talked himself into a ridiculous spot by making fun of Rich's microphone boom, now he is 100% convinced it shouldn't be in the view of a camera at all, and that maybe if he gets a more expensive microphone he won't have the boom visible. It's just an unfathomably dumb place to be because literally no one cares if you can see the microphone boom in the frame of a streamer and he's probably going to waste a bunch more money for literally no reason other than to have a better setup than Rich does. It's not like his e-daddies have invisible booms. He's just so dumb with his rants.

I feel like fat alcoholic closeted man with a goatee who streams in his jammies for work and doesn’t fuck his wife but instead turns her into a fat cow by filling her with infinite DoorDash is a pretty believable archetype.
Biggest nail in his homosexuality coffin is when you keep this "too stereotypical to be believable if you put the character in a film" description of Phil in mind, while watching him play the WWE create-a-wrestler matches where his self insert created character is eventually taking on the rage-quit inducing vidya Rock in a Royal Rumble at the end of that series of gameplay streams.

The thing is an entertaining streamer could film from their cell phone and still make good content and a terrible streamer could film in a million dollar hollywood studio and still make crap content. Phil is constantly mistaking backgrounds, equipment, lighting, etc for quality streams instead of the personality and creativity of the streamer. You can't just buy a bunch of fancy equipment and become a good streamer, he can spend all the money he wants and he'll still be the same boring, uncreative idiot.
