Can you imagine if Phil ever had a fan gathering what that would fucking look like, with all these exceptional individual fans he has, a scene from dawn of the dead maybe?
Not quite sure if the cute Kiwi just changed your word "re.tard" to "exceptional individual", but I guess it's less provoking and dumb to assume it this way, as basically everyone is kinda REEE.tarded in his own special way, even the most "perfectly sane" people. Part of being human, I guess.
So, I know, it's funny to spout this thought in our preserved animal shelter of "braindead idiots who want to destroy Phil's business" and I guess there is a snippet of truth behind your joke, looking at Sidella. But do not let us get lost in half-baked assumptions and look at it from a more realistic perspective: There is a good probability not everyone who is an REEE.tard will like Dave or his khaaantent, even idiots have some standards, not every exceptional is a complete moron in every single regard, or especially deranged in his taste of entertainment. Like f.e. someone who likes different music than me is free to do so. Same goes with Dave and his content. I don't like to step on smelly shit, but apparently some do, go for it, I guess.
On the other side of the coin, not everyone who is "sane" in the head will recognize Dave as the pigroach he is. And the third category comes from Dave, maybe we're all so damn exceptional we can't recognize how awesome Dave is; could be the case, we just never witnessed any prove.
However, by looking at statistics based on my personal opinions, which are still quite accurate in this case: I would say the vast majority who know Dave don't like him, maybe hate him, are disgusted by him, only watch him ironically, or maybe only know him as "
the guy who masturbated on stream" and think he is an utter garbage human being. Am I right by guessing these are thousands of people? I would estimate his real fan base at a size of at least under 300 by being generous, but it doesn't matter, the exact numbers aren't part of my argument.
My point is there a statistical implication that this very big uncountable group of individual people who agrees on the same topic are the ones with the most sane opinion. The minority, which in this case looks at Phil from the complete opposite perspective and is basically spoonfed by a cult leader with false informations, might be the group with the most screwed up individuals. Comparison: The big group says it hurts to look directly at the sun, cuz they agree on the same experience. And the minority loves to get their eyesight destroyed by radiation, for some reason.
So I would agree with your lighthearted joke on this one: Yes, most of them might literally be reee~tarded. But some of them might just be some mixed children, some naive, some sad outsiders in school and no way to go, and of course some might be already exceptional. But you know, they are easy to manipulate and easy to entertain. Look, the screen moves. Listen, a sex joke, a fart joke, huhuhuhu. They will grow out of that, form better standards and watch back in disgust.
So this is how I would imagine his fanbase at a fan gathering. A mix of literally exceptional individuals, some REEE.tards with the IQ of room temperature (in °C), a group of kids and some "perfectly sane" detractors who are too invested in the DSPhere. Most of them would look quite normal, but you can detect the difference as soon as they open their mouths.
fftopic: Not really, there are some additional filters in place. For example, how many blind people use Kiwifarms? I guess we are close to 0%.
, I'm not DSP. I love to widen my horizon, learn new words and be better at your awesome language.
