Checked out Phil's Knack 2 stream and he looked just like that journalist who sucked at playing Cuphead. Dsp had to push a box, climb on the box, and jump off and grab a hook and he couldn't do it. Had some serious deja vu to his Sly Cooper playthrough too.

I wouldn't outright disagree with you but I do think it is a topic worth discussing. It's an interesting question about human intelligence, attitude and decision making. Why is any lolcow a lolcow?

When you take away some controversial elements (i.e. beating off on stream) and distasteful elements (i.e. relationships/friendships) and you look at the way this person accesses and uses information, you get a certain picture. I can at least see a man of at least average intelligence who is perhaps not able to fully use his abilities.

His current situation obviously been the result of the compounded effects of a certain kind of decision making over the years, it is not impossible to see that with the right help/assistance his life could be quite different.

And no, I'm not trying to white knight or save the planet from pollution or anything, it is just an interesting thing to discuss.

Maybe one day, if Phil can see these problems, and then seeks out help and can actually improve some parts of his life then he might be a happier person--but that is up to him.

The most interesting part:
"That's how that group is, just like anyone is who is hyper-focused on HURTING one person you don't even know. It's stereotypical stalker behavior and when it happens to celebrities, they get restraining orders. Sadly, I never had a defense against this kind of stuff, because I wasn't big enough, smart enough or rich enough to find a way to put protections in place and/or just be immune to it. This is a textbook case of a bunch of sick-headed, mentally ill (YES, if you try to ruin someone's life who you don't know, you ARE mentally ill) individuals trying to destroy someone they've never met and have zero personal relationship with. It's disgusting and disturbing.

There's a line between laughing at someone's shortcomings, and trying to destroy their life and the lives of their family. And it's NOT a fine line."

It's also pretty fucked up about the wedding part.

DSP's twitlonger about the SOK stuff. Interesting note, he says money was one of the reasons for the breakup.
Gold digger to the end, that Leanna.

From Tevin's 3.5 hour video he has DMs from Fred, where Fred admits to knowing of the BeAwesomeOne strikes before they took place.

Anyway, outside of the fact that it's been exposed that the SOK were directly involved with the false copyright strikes against DSPGaming and more, I'm not reading up on any of the drama shit, and I honestly don't care. My life is already destroyed in a lot of ways, both financially and personally, and I'll probably NEVER recover from the financial situation I'm in, that they created.

So, that is pretty fucking shitty to actually attack Phil directly after all the times they talked about not to do it.

All the swating stuff with Leanna's Dad and that Phil was sent the wedding address go beyond basic trolling into actual threats.

I'm sure Phil is hamming up in small places, but he's probably honest on the bulk here. Longest twitlonger I've seen from him.

I want to agree but the cynic inside me is noticing that if you tried to parse a thesis statement out of this rant it's that Phil's life issues entirely stem SOK's inhumane behaviour. What SOK did is fucked and he's not wrong in most of his assessment about them, but to claim that the copyright strikes are why he's still in debt is sheer lunacy. This entire post further enhances the victim complex he's been sculpting for quite some time, and it adds more potential potency to his pleas for help in the future from his dwindling, loyal followers.

That being said, he does seem oddly out of character and introspective here:

I wholeheartedly admit that money was one (of many) factors in the breakdown of my relationship with Leanna

Admitting that money was only one reason for the breakup seems strangely lucid, as does acknowledging the gravity of his debt and his own personal shortcomings. But see, look again at those three sentences -- especially at how the third quote ends: that they created. It's difficult for me not to see this as an elaborate narrative meant to instill one recurring theme in the reader's mind: Phil is a victim; SOK stole his life, girlfriend, and financial health from him; and Phil needs your help.

Oh, I'm very cautious too, but Phil isn't clever enough to fabricate that wedding issue behind the scenes- that nugget was probably the takeaway as far as the farms go. I don't think his victim complex is going to bail him here, though. The recent vacation, the constant emergencies at a rate of every other month, and the holidays right around the corner. His fans are drying up, and the missed Partreon goals are the start of a snowball.

I think the case of other lolcows is -aside from real mental illness like Autism or Schizophrenia- a matter of morality. They don't see what they're doing as being wrong. Why that is could be any number of reasons that mostly seems to stem from a fucked up childhood. When they think they're morally right about something they're not going to back down even if there is a smoking gun. See: religion. Some people wake up and have some self-awareness but that almost always happens during someone's teens or early 20's. When someone is well into adulthood it's very rare that they will change position.

I don't think this applies to Phil at all. I think, again, that he's just a dumb and arrogant man who lucked into what he's doing for living.

So Phil outright say's that money was a contributing factor to Leanna leaving him. I'm sure that's how he justifies it in his mind. He probably thinks "If I was still making over $100K a year then Leanna wouldn't have had to find a real job. I could have kept her at home to take care of me! SNORT. If she didn't get a job, she wouldn't have made friends and find independence. If that didn't happen everything would be great."

If he's the King of Hate and hate fuels him with energy then why does he whine like a little bitch when he gets it?

ALSO he lists the false Pizza deliveries as harassment but the truth is when the Pizza man delivered those 3 big pepperonies he problably took them all and shoved them in his big fat mouth.

Phil's response is classic Phil. If anything, the SoK's demise has only fueled DSP's delusions, and we can see that in the twitlonger. Yeah those autists have proven him right, and it's probably gonna bring a nice little boost to his victim donations over the next few days, but now he thinks he's got concrete proof that the only reason his channel is failing is due to the actions of his "detractors". He still can't look at the bigger picture - why did people start hating him in the first place? He still doesn't see how his content is shitty and outdated, doesn't see that's he's a selfish manbaby bitch, and doesn't see that his own poor financial decisions and egregious spending habits have led to this mass of debt. But now there's no chance he'll ever accept that, because he can reliably use the SoK to explain away his problems.

I think a lot of his twitlonger is true but he just tagged "because of the Sok" onto the end of it. In his forum post about the leaks earlier this week he also admitted some of his own shortcomings because in order to bury Fred he also had to bury himself. This is Phil's moment where he has the ultimate scapegoat for all of his failures of the past few years right in front of him and he is going to milk it for all it is worth..

However, not going to a wedding because you were worried enough some autistic illuminati was going to fuck it up somehow does not speak well for your own mental health. If he was that paranoid 2 years ago maybe now he does think the gardeners are out to get him.

I agree in part. I think people sometimes put too much stock in a college degree (even with honors) being evidence of intelligence. I have seen way too many recent graduates with impressive college records who turn out to be utter dullards when faced with tasks that require critical and independent thinking. Phil's ability to speak extemporaneously and write with decent grammar also lends an air of intelligence--though what he actually says and writes belies this. So, I don't think he's very bright, but I don't think that alone describes the reasons for his issues.

I'm not a psychologist, but as others have pointed out if you look at DSM-5 criteria for narcissistic personality disorder Phil checks most if not all the boxes. (Though, of course, I could be wrong. I thought that Littlefinger was going to end up on the iron throne).
