Wew lad. That last line is some severely transparent emotional manipulation. "If you love me, you'll give me money." It's not mandatory though, and no favoritism is shown to people who contribute, but we will publicly indicate here that contributions are how you show Phil you care about him. Jesus Christ.
I just want to see what happens on Halloween if he doesn't hit this goal. If it was sincere, we should get a quality depresshun stream. If he has been lying, his recourse, because he is an idiot, will likely be to ban all reference to there having been a donation goal this week, obscurely refer to it as "the weekly goal", and refuse to acknowledge that he ever said he was in trouble. $1800 will join its buddy $1100 as a banned word.
I ask, as a humble Kiwi, to the whales in Twitch above... just let him miss this goal. Drop all your cash on him come the 31st for all I care. But we're overdue to get a good meltdown with the pig shrieking and flailing like a caged animal, and he has set himself up nicely this week.
Unrelated, but he just confirmed on stream that he and Kat got a 'trim' last week, not a haircut in the sense that there was no change in style. He screamed at people last week for asking about his haircut, saying he had no idea what they were talking about. The previous week, he had said he was booking a hair appointment.
This is a great example of how this dude operates. You present information if you can exploit it for pity, then when it is 'too recent' to admit to, you lie about it, even if it is not necessary, presumably to obscure your timeline and actions. Then you nonchalantly admit to it later and ignore that you were blasting people for asking about it. Bonus points if you can exploit semantics to wiggle out of the fact that you lied - you didn't get a 'haircut', it was just a trim! No 'real' lies necessary! This is literally how he runs everything now.
