DarksydePhil / TheyCallMeDSP / Phil Burnell: General Discussion #2

[TheLastFrogger]

actually a little disappointed nothing happened with the ralph thing, maybe when dentron is full assembled we'll see some stuff after wrestlemania.

 

[Shuma-Gorath]

Do you guys think Phil really has depression?

I think Phil is depressed but he's too stupid to realize it, if that makes sense.
If you think about it, Phil SHOULD be depressed. He's an alcoholic, he has a shit diet, he does zero physical activity, he doesn't have any friends and it's clear his relationship with his wife is completely fucked and by no means normal (and that's just taking him at face value and without speculation), he clearly hates streaming videogames and a large portion of his life is entirely dedicated to fighting the people he doesn't like. The question is, how could Phil NOT be depressed? There isn't a single piece of joy in his life even though he is one of the few thousand people on the planet privileged enough to make six figures out of low effort entertainment. And despite that, he acts like his life is the hardest, he is always whining even about the tiniest detail possible.

My personal theory is that even though Phil is depressed because he's a lazy, bitter piece of shit who only gets any serotonin through drinking, fast food and gacha pulls, he is too stupid to put it into words. Phil is like a baby who puts his hand on the stove. He experiences pain, and because it's an intense feeling and the baby can't express it in any other way, he cries. Phil is just like that, and I think his break-up with PPP showed it very well. He had a meltdown in every possible way, from trying to not care, to rage, to try to turn it into him being the King Snake, to lie, to say he lied about lying, everything but say he was hurt because he thought he had a friend.

Phil has zero self-awareness and it's paired with his delusions. At this point I don't think Phil truly thinks he's lying, and I think that if Steve Cambian had done the lie detector, Phil would pass it because he's just that deluded. I 100% think Phil believes everything he says, and that he truly believed the King Snake thing at the moment but now believes it never happened. What any of us would call a coping mechanism, Phil thinks it's perfectly normal and healthy. Why? Because he's a fucking idiot and he has no one in his life to tell him it's not ok to live the way he does.

Think about it, but Phil admitting to depression is not meant to be a flaw but a virtue. He doesn't say he's depressed so people can see that he's broken, he says he's depressed so you can see him as someone who pushes forward despite adversity.

TL;DR: Phil is severely depressed, but his ego won't ever allow him to admit to that, so instead he vents by being a fat, alcoholic retard who rants and vents every single day.

Phil feels "sad" because he drinks too much, he gets caught in repeated lies, he cant buy fast food unless he reaches the goal. Stupid, arbitrary things that he creates.

Acutal clinical depression, you want to lay in bed in the dark and never leave. You don't have the energy to interact with others, even in a chat, for 5 minutes, much less 40 hours a week. There's absolutely no way he has clinical depression. That’s why, like being an alcoholic, he is able to only bring it up when he needs an excuse.

Phil's a textbook narcissist.
He shows autistic tendencies. If he's not an alkie he cosplays well. He's paranoid, selfish, jealous.
Most of all, he's just an asshole.

 

[Shocked and Horrified]

I just want to know if there's anybody else in the entire world who wears cologne every day, knowing for a fact they aren't going to leave the house that day.

I wear perfume every day.

 

[Chiefbingoball]

I wear perfume every day.

But why?

What does it do for you, what have been the reactions in public? do you ever get told its too much or that you're triggering their allergies or anything?

 

[Skippy Shortbottom]

He will never be able to cure his depression though because he's coping so hard and deluded himself long enough he does not even realize the harm he's doing to himself.

Yeah I don't really want to get into the semantics of what he has. I just know he's a terrible and insufferable human and figuring out why is such a waste of time. He's a grown manchild at 43/44? and should be figuring out his own shit and how to fix it.

It's one thing to be the "younger" age 35 Phil but 7 years later and you're still a twat, then fuck off and get used to people not wanting to be around you.

I get the pressure he has daily because he knows everyone hates his shit and "Do you guys like me?" thing showed that him being accepted despite being a faggot is the only thing he can grasp to keep going. This is all his doing even his early 20s in the fgc. Dude has never changed and was always like this. Could you say he was depressed then too?

Nah dude is just a fucker and doesn't need a diagnosis to confirm anything because he would just weaponize it to continue being even more of an asshole.

 

[Shocked and Horrified]

But why?

What does it do for you, what have been the reactions in public? do you ever get told its too much or that you're triggering their allergies or anything?

I like the scent, and I've always had perfume. My mom taught me that a little is better than a lot, and my husband likes it on me.

No, I'm very careful about not using much in public. It's better to have a subtle trace than smack someone in the nose with it. A whisper of perfume is all right, a shout of perfume is not.

It's difficult to explain. It makes me feel good, pretty.

By the way, Phail's doing it wrong in my opinion. You don't spray it on your clothes. You spray the air in front of you (once) and step into the mist. That makes it less likely that you'll put on too much.

 

[PieceofShet]

Sorry if it was mentioned recently, but i just heard these in TBS and I need time to process it.

-DSP said he cant see his parents cause they too old to travel to him, and he cant visit them cause CT only has zoo and italian restaurant, aka "he would be bored".

-DSP is literally a literal retard. You guys heard the phrase "pick your poison" before? Well, according to DSP it means you pick an addiction out of many, something you know its bad for you and stick with that. But its ok if you do it in moderation and you only have one. His poison is drinking.

 

[Gator_Aids]

And as if by divine providence, as soon as Phil ruins all his goodwill and connections to the Casino, this happens.

 

[Digger10]

He had a meltdown in every possible way, from trying to not care, to rage, to try to turn it into him being the King Snake, to lie, to say he lied about lying, everything but say he was hurt because he thought he had a friend.

While we're on the subject of what would make Phil happier, I can believe that he's lonely, but I don't think he wants a real friend. I think what he actually wants is a lickspittle who'll puff up his ego and do things for him. Even if he found someone who was willing to give him the benefit of the doubt, eventually they're gonna call him out on his behavior. As opposed to making him more self-conscious, I imagine he'd treat them with the same contempt that he treats everyone who doesn't immediately bow to his demands.

Some people think that Phil would be happier or at least better adjusted if he had some friends and left his house more. But his disinterest in the outside world goes back at least as far as PandaLee, where the two of them would take vacations but Phil preferred to stay in his hotel room and watch movies. Maybe it's social awkwardness or paranoia, but he might just genuinely not care about what the world outside of his house has to offer. Can he even enjoy anything that doesn't bring him money, food or praise? When I think about it, did he ever enjoy fighting games for their own sake? Or were they his preferred genre because beating other people made him feel superior?

Some say that Phil is unhappy because he doesn't understand what normal people want. I think he might be unhappy because he doesn't want the things that normal people want.

 

[Dr Pavel I'm CIA]

Nah dude is just a fucker and doesn't need a diagnosis to confirm anything because he would just weaponize it to continue being even more of an asshole.

I maintain that if jaha did hit him back in the CT days it could have been life changing for him.

He never got taught a lesson and even worse he got rewarded for his bad behaviour and is still being rewarded to some extent.

Phail is a great example on how important it is to experience failure and ego death at least once otherwise you'll still be a fucker stuck on level 1 your entire life

To add to the depression talk, depression, like most mental illnesses, has both a genetic and an environmental/biological cause. You can have a family history of mental illness, making you more susceptible to it, but it usually needs another factor to bring it to the surface. It's a lot like Phil's gout diagnosis; he might be more susceptible to the disease because of his family history, but if Phil ate right and took care of himself, he likely would never have got gout.

Clinical depression (major depressive disorder) is a feeling of worthlessness and hopelessness often caused by a chemical imbalance in the brain. If your parents died or you lost your job or your girlfriend (like Phil), you might say you are depressed, but that's not the same thing as clinical depression. Feeling sad when something bad happens is a normal part of life. It's why self-diagnosing, again like Phil did, is a hindrance to your overall mental health. If you need help, seek out a qualified professional. If you are looking for pity or attention, broadcast your self-diagnosis on social media.

Phil's problem is that he is embarrassed that he is once again the internet laughingstock. He also likely feels trapped by both his job and his marriage. He sees his views steadily decline month after month, year after year. He has a surly, obese roommate he calls a wife who can't even bake a cake. He's looking for a way out, but he's lazy and taking shortcuts, so all he came up with is crapping on PPP and reviewing cologne, neither of which had the intended effect.

I think Phil is a textbook narcissist, and someone like that has trouble processing the gap between how he sees himself versus how the world sees him. Not too long ago, Phil spoke about how he influenced public opinion on SOPA, and said that he had so much more to offer the world if it wasn't for the trolls ruining his reputation. Delusions of grandeur. Phil thinking of himself as a hero, while we see him as the jester. He wants praise, but doesn't know how to earn it. This disconnect makes Phil lash out against reality, as well as anyone who tries to put Phil in touch with reality.

Phil is sad, because he thinks he is special, but people don't treat him the way he thinks he should be treated. We think he's special, too, but in a very different way. For a narcissist, the only way to cope is to deny reality. It's why Phil came up with the King Snake story, to protect himself from the humiliation of being snaked by KC.

Depression is about feeling like you aren't good enough. Narcissism is about feeling you are better than the average person. If Phil sat down with a trained professional for a MSE (mental status exam), the examiner would root out Phil's grandiose thinking and paranoid tendencies with ease. No way would he come back with a diagnosis of depression.

I wouldn't think much about it. Kino Casino has been dumping on Karl Jobst lately so I can imagine Billy is tuning in at 3a.m. telling Warski that he's his gaming soulmate.
Come to think of it, Billy Mitchell is Prime Phil. Billy is the person Phil wishes he was: a videogame "legend" with fuck you money and who just recently won a lawsuit against his biggest detractor. You can bet Billy has been terminally online the last month masturbating while watching every single video that has clowned on Jobst.

Billy becoming a Kino Casino fan after they start dumping on Karl Jobst is exactly the same as Phil finding them after they dumped on Rich. See how Billy discovered Kino Casino "last month", coincidentally when they started to cover the Mitchell v Jobst story.

I don't think he wants a real friend

I mean, sure. Even John Rambo (the only person Phil has legit cared for) wasn't so much of an equal but more of the guy that always stuck for him, and even then Phil treated him like shit and always expected him to do things for him.
I think overall Phil wants acceptance (who doesn't?) but instead of working towards it he just feels entitled to it. Even during his golden days when he had money, fame, fans and a hawt gamer girlfriend, he still had to find a way to bitch about bigger youtubers. I don't think there's a single thing that could make Phil happy because he loves being a victim.
I've watched some recent WPIG streams and even back in like 2013 Phil had to complain about being the little guy. Now, even during the Kino Casino days and during his birthday marathon he HAD to bring up detractors. He can't just be happy, he always has to use the opportunity to shit on someone, and there will always be someone.

 

[EmpGulcasa]

Phil is not stupid.

He absolutely is.

 

[Iron Hamster]

I feel like the only way Phil would be truly happy is if he made hundreds of thousands of dollars every day and was world renowned as an innovator and one of the greatest entertainers alive.

Some of you might be thinking "That's an empty existence", but Phil is a shallow person. The elements of a more meaningful life are of no interest to him.

Smug meters worldwide would shatter.

he does know that he's an asshole and feels bad about it,

No. He's actually very proud of it.

I just want to know if there's anybody else in the entire world who wears cologne every day, knowing for a fact they aren't going to leave the house that day.

To cover up the cat piss. That stain on his shirt that started all this where it took him minutes to think up the lie of 'cologne' after smelling it and looking confused - was cat piss.

 

[marlimar]

Happy day we remember Hitler was born, Christ was reborn from the dead, and everyone in the USA likes to smoke weed; may we enjoy all of the above on this blesses day.

 

[Iron Father]

TL;DR: Phil is severely depressed, but his ego won't ever allow him to admit to that, so instead he vents by being a fat, alcoholic retard who rants and vents every single day.

 

[Optimus Prime]

He wants praise, but doesn't know how to earn it.

I think overall Phil wants acceptance (who doesn't?) but instead of working towards it he just feels entitled to it. Even during his golden days when he had money, fame, fans and a hawt gamer girlfriend, he still had to find a way to bitch about bigger youtubers.

This lines up with what I've said many times before, in that it seems like Phil attempts to make other people think he's living the big life. Excluding Ft. Gout because the gated community keeps normies away from him and he's paranoid as fuck about strangers, everything else just screams overcompensation.

He has a car that he doesn't like to drive (or can't, I forget if he has a license or not), he has rooms filled with gaming merch he doesn't give a shit about but still thinks is valuable. racks of movies he never watches, and even the shitshow when PandaLee ditched him and he frantically sought a replacement partner and quickly married her almost to prove a point more than a genuine healthy relationship.

This even goes all the way back to the stupid Wolverine Toy story, which he even admitted he got the stupid thing and still bitched because it wasn't the popular thing to have anymore by then.

He never grew as a person, and now he's an eternally hateful loser begging money from actual morons to sustain his unhealthy lifestyle lest he have to *gasp* go into public more often.

 

[San Dimas High School]

It's difficult to explain. It makes me feel good, pretty.

Yeah I guess, but the odd part isn't that he wears it every day but that he wears it when he isn't leaving the house. Like he's still got his pajama bottoms on and his Izod oxford shirt and some cologne and it's not any more weird than anything else about him but it's pretty fucking weird.

 

[Elite Kipchak]

what 2 days off streaming does to the dsp subforum. if he really wanted to get a win on us he'd quit streaming altogether. we'd be trapped here, endlessly debating about his politics, sexuality, and mental state.
