DarksydePhil / TheyCallMeDSP / Phil Burnell - General Discussion

[Don Kang]

I've never been so excited to see a youtube video in my life. Her expression from the first second in already tells you this is going to be 17 minutes of pure fucking gold.

 

[WeeblesWobble]

There is one moment in that video that really fucked me up. At 7:22 to about 7:30 look at her face and her reaction to what he is saying and doing. This is so weird. I want to chalk it up to her just being uncomfortable but she's done streams before and she had no issue speaking when prompted.

 

[BoingBoingBoi]

WIP:

0:00-1:00 - we learn about dates
1:00-2:00 - we learn that he made a vlahg with kat
2:00-3:00 - waffling about returning to secret of mana
3:00-6:00 - literally no games have been out this whole year until this week, when there will be good games finally.
6:00-7:00 - youtube is terrible. views are dropping, wah wah.
7:00-10:00 - tax attorney fucked him. nothing is his fault. he owes money. he's begging for tax money. "if i dont pay my taxes this year, i could lose my house." needs money for the taxes, and begging.

She looks like a mixture of methhead and spousal abuse victim.

Not saying she's either of those things. She just looks really rough for someone who knew this was their first impression to thousands of people on the internet.

She very, very clearly was bullied into this.

Edit: Confirming what someone else said she's Michigan as fuck. If the cooking didn't confirm it the accent sure does. Lower Penisula sadly. If only Phil was dating a Yooper.

Edit edit: I'm sorry but I can't fucking watch this. I can't. Can someone please just tell me what the actual 'plans' are for her involvement with Phil?

 

[Jerbear89]

by far the cringiest video he has ever done

It's almost the exact same thing he did with Panda except she won't be popping in on his daily streams. There's nothing special about it, he just HAD to get her to do a video with him.

 

[NobodyReally]

What I've learned from the Kat vlog:
-Kat knows she looks like a horse
-Kat doesn't watch Phils stream but watches detractor videos
-They will only vlog togther if they go to Seattle and for holiday videos.
-Kat can't stop darting her eyes around the room like she's looking for a way out

 

[Aurelian]

Eh she's passable when she's not smiling evidently.
Also I sincerely hope Phil hasn't completely lost basic human social skills and can tell that she has uncomfortable body language.
But I guess it wouldn't really matter he'd upload it anyway.

 

[DiabeticSP]

There's a distinct lack of 'my girlfriend the soulmate' going on.

 

[Trap Card]

-Kat knows she looks like a horse
-Kat doesn't watch Phils stream but watches detractor videos

Seriously?

 

[Panpizza]

Wow, I feel kinda bad for the girl. She looks completely trapped. Her body language is extremely negative - hunched over, closed off, frequently frowning, constantly looking away. Zero intimacy towards Phil, and she seems really uncomfortable when he touches her.

It was mentioned before but its worth repeating - vaginas seem to wither around Phil. It's pretty clear whatever spark of romance they had at first (if they ever did) has passed and this poor, unfortunate soul is just now realizing that this will be her life for the next five years.

I watched the whole thing on 1.5 speed, there was nothing special about this video. Pretty much DSP talking about being harassed.

Near the end Kat starts regurgitating DSPisms almost like she had a script. I can't say I'm fond of her. She seems bland and submissive and has no opinions of her own. I guess that's why DSP considers her a soul mate. Someone who won't talk back unlike Leanna who could at least form her own opinions.

Terrible ass vlog he pretty much made to silence the detractors. 90% of the time she was leaning away from Phil and is visibly uncomfortable. I hope we don't see any co-op with this boring ass girl.

I watched some of her stuff on her channel and she was not bad at all. She just kind of talked about the game and whatnot. She seemed very if not decently comfortable streaming. Way different from this video.

 

[NobodyReally]

Seriously?

Yes. Straight from the horse's mouth!

 

[That Dude Who Cares]

I know for a fact that I am SUPER late to the party and have a lot to catch up on. I have been reading these forums for the past few days plus have been watching Snort Burnell's videos with my partner who introduced me to this drama. I do have a few things on my mind in regards to his "TAX" situation but first I just wanna go rattle off what I know so far on DSP.

• He is narcissistic. This narcissim has been evident for a long time with how he holds himself above everyone including his fans and the fact he will not admit when he is wrong. He also labels himself stuff that he isn't just to further fuel his narcissism.
• He is a massive hypocrite. He has been known to say he is against one thing and then turn around and do that exact thing he says he is against i.e. Minecraft, patreon, e-begging etc.
• Rages and complains at every game. To my understanding his PTs are littered with him raging at the game and complaining when things don't go his way even when the fault is not due to the game but his own ineptitude at playing and the fact he tries to rush through games he plays
• Lack of editing and quality control. He doesn't take care in the work he does and instead of spending time editing and ensuring he produces high quality videos he much rather just upload a metric tonne worth of low quality raw footage to YouTube effectively flooding his subscribers sub boxes and ensuring the fact he continues to get low views
• Can't handle criticism. DSP is unable to handle criticism whether it be by fans or those who just want to help him better his channel. He much rather block or complain about that, calling those who do it trolls, than maybe listen to it and try to better himself.
• Focusing on the negativity. DSP goes on saying that he doesn't listen to the hate but is more than happy to rant about it on numerous platforms.
• Treating fans and mods like crud. He has been known to treat fans and mods like crud especially when they pull him up on his behaviour. "He is always right and no one can tell him what to do" seems to be his overall mindset.
• Unprofessional behaviour. In his streams and PTs you can see a myriad of behaviours that would be looked down upon in a professional setting eg. belching, snorting, racism, poor work ethic. Any of this behaviours would end up in warnings from an employer and eventual release from that position, would not be surprised if this was what caused him to lose his job in 2010? He also uses excuses for why he continues to do such behaviour.
• Begging for money. To my knowledge DSP is a known E-Beggar, constantly asking for donations and pledges. This has sometimes resulted him from being banned from a service for a period of time or indefinitely (TWITCH and Adsense)
• Poor financial decisions. Over the years he has made some very poor financial decisions which has led him to be in a very poor financial state.

I know there is heaps more than what is above but I am gathering that is the general gist of things so far.


Now onto his "TAX" situation. I just want to give some points that really bothered me since this whole "BACK TAXES" situation has arised which has fueled his recent e-begging cycle.

• Supposedly he has studied finance so he should have known when he moved states that he would have needed to get a new tax accountant to help submit his tax returns once he had moved to Washington
• He would have received a letter that states how much he owes in back taxes and when he would need to pay those taxes by so he should know exactly how much he needs to pay and should be able to be more open to his fans about that
• The fact that he is being very unclear with how much he needs makes it look like more of a scam to get more money out of his dwindling fan base.

Mind you that I don't know how the US tax department deals with back taxes so I am only guessing from my knowledge of how the Tax Department here in Australia works. If anyone can bring more to light to this "TAX" situation the please feel free to enlighten me as I would like to know if I am wrong. If anyone would also like to point me to any good sources so I can get up to speed on the DSP drama please also feel free to let me know.

 

[Schmeckel]

Holy shit, man. Soulmaid is either extremely fucking awkward when having to perform for someone else's content, or she's trying to find an escape path that doesn't involve her tripping over a rats nest of cables and hogtied by Phil.

 

[Ching_Chong]

That was one of the most awkward videos I've ever seen on YouTube and I all I do is live in the bowels of YouTube watching awkward shit.

No chemistry at all. I hope she is in it for the shelter till she can get out of there because that is clearly a loveless relationship.

 

[BSV]

I picked up on that too. I don't know her at all, and she might just be very awkward. But that was just sad. In the beginning of the video her voice said yes, but her mannerisms suggested no. She can't use social media, obviously because she isn't very thik skinned. She is in a totally new place with no friends and family. I hope she knows what she signed up for.

 

[Ilscuro]

I felt so uncomfortable watching her in that vlog, almost as uncomfortable as she looks, there is absolutely zero chemistry between them, where he gets soulmate from i really have no idea.

This is gonna end in tears.
