Sargon's in the comments on the newest video, accusing Phil of splicing the audio together to make it look like he was laughing at one of the jokes.
That is the most pathetic sentence I've ever written. Either Phil's gone pants-on-head exceptional just to get one over on Sargon, or Sargon's resorting to really crappy excuses to try and make himself look like the good guy.
Whichever it is, it's fucking terrible.
I have the distinct impression that most of the people saying "their both in the wrong" haven't actually watched the Sargon's videos where he responds to Thunderf00t.
Sargon's problem with Phil isn't that he thinks edgy humor is somehow ethically wrong, Phil's been like that for a while and there's never been any real animosity between them, or if there was it was entirely one sided. His problem is that Phil singled Sargon out of a group of people and edited his video to make it seem like Sargon was laughing at a joke when he was laughing at something else.
In this instance he wanted to paint Sargon as an edgelord who made off color jokes at a murder victims expense and listened to an hour long stream to find evidence. However he couldn't actually find an example of Sargon making any such jokes, so he decided that an example of him laughing at someone else's joke would be good enough. But he couldn't even find a good example of
that so he edited his video to show somebody making a joke shortly after the stream started and cut to Sargon laughing at another joke that was made like 50 minutes later. And the joke he was laughing at was directed at the perpetrator and the media.
Like is said, if it was just a difference of opinion regarding whether its right to enjoy edgy humor then these two would have come to blows a long time ago. If he didn't make a very deliberate attempt at misleading people then Sargon probably wouldn't even respond. It just comes off as incredibly petty.
Its just like his incredibly grasping "take down" of Lauren Southern, were she called a group of Antifa "anti-Trump Communists". This apparently was such a massive mis-characterization that it warranted a 20 minute video and a follow up after Lauren correctly pointed out the Antifa are clearly just commies masquerading as anarchists. An observation that should be clear to almost anyone that does the slightest bit of research into the group.
Gamer Gate and Atheism+ were the beginning and end of his contributions to the skeptic/anti sjw community. Ever since Brexit he's been a John Oliver quoting remoaner with a stick up his ass, and its hurting his bottom line, his abysmal subscriber/views ratio and a patreon that's about half the size of a guy who's been around for less than half the time is proof of that. Remember, back when his research position was potentially on the line he stated that his online earnings were high enough that he could just quit and work for free. Now that his position is again in jeopardy on account of Brexit and his audience is looking elsewhere he's trying to appeal to anyone who doesn't want to be associated with Sargon and that whole sphere.
