I think he's said he can flag troll channels for copyright, but the troll can just dispute the copyright claim saying it was "fair use" and the only action from there is to sue them.

It's kinda funny how Phil will rant and rave about how troll channels aren't "fair use" and that he could easily sue them for thousands of dollars, yet doesn't. He's all bark and no bite.


Null asked Nick Rekieta in that stream last week if Tevin would be protected under fair use, and he says if he's reacting and providing commentary and criticism, even ridicule, then yes.
I wouldn't believe re-streams like Dark Dave's Mirror to be protected though, unless you can somehow convince a judge that using an automated soundboard would count as commentary and criticism.
Didn’t he also say it’s pretty easy for bigger channels to rolls smaller channels? Phil’s channel is relatively big, so i don’t think it be that hard to strike detractor channels, especially with the system lsb showed
 
I think the Streisand Effect is one of those things Phil disproportionately fears, so he doesn't strike channels down.

Even he can't deny that the things in detractor videos have "a nugget of truth," so he knows he can't kill the truth of who he is, but more importantly, sicking the false-strike brigade on himself because someone made a joke/true observation about his wife/weight/masturbation/misanthropy would be bad for business.

There's also the fear that if he struck a detractor channel down through the proper channels, they'd escalate, call his bluff and lawyer up against him.
 
Completely off topic but fit for the general thread, I have a burning question about Phil that's been on my mind for months. If the detractors are so bad to him, taking all that money from him, why doesn't he just get their channel shut down? An infinitely smaller fish like LowTierGod routinely strikes channels down with ease. Why can't Phil do it? He always says he'd love to get back at them and sue them for defamation (LMFAO) but can't because he doesn't have the money and neither do the trolls.

Why isn't he able to take a single fucking detractor channel down? It's clearly very easy to do even at Phil's abysmally low effort level. Never heard him address the ridiculously OP take-down tools that YouTube gives slobs like him.
Because Phil is lying. I've had videos of myself taken down on Youtube and it's a simple process. Just provide proof that it's you in the video, and they'll take it down. Phil may not even have to do that considering he's well-known and there's a zillion hours of himself on Youtube.

I know he could get Tevin, LSB, Darkdave, etc... shut down immediately if he really wanted to. Phil knows any attention is good attention, despite whatever bullshit he says.
 
Never argue with a narcissist. There will always be a justification or an excuse
It's funny you say this. Not to be too armchair psychologist, but every time I think about Phil's behavior, this video from Jim Can't Swim on narcissism pops into my head. He's just incapable of any meaningful introspection to the point where it's probably completely out of his control. He's never going to own up to his own mistakes unless he's somehow convinced to get therapeutic help, which won't happen because he has no real friends who care about his well-being

So much of this video applies. "They do not feel they are in any way related to their former selves."
 
GamerJlee streamed his experiences and debunked some shit about the DSP thing.

Pretty lengthy VOD.
Wait, hold up a second... So there was ANOTHER kid he groomed who later turned on him? He may have not just been talking about AireaidLord? This makes me wonder how often this has happened with a young impressionable kid meeting him at a convention and then eventually growing up to realize he's scum. I guess I shouldn't be surprised, but something about this shocks me.

I think one of the most relevant things in the video related to Phil is the idea that narcissists only have a surface-level understanding of self and are only concerned with other's perceptions. Whenever Phil drones on about his former success it's always through how he thinks other people perceived him ("Wow dood, Phil is the underdog on Youtube and will say and do what he wants and won't change to be like those popular Youtubers and that's why we like him"). All he thinks about is adapting to what he considers is a favorable perception of himself, and it's why I think he has such thin skin and freaks out over being criticized no matter how many times it happens; he's always on edge about the idea of being hated and has to form narratives about himself and others to cope with it. Phil's problem though is that his entire fucking life is documented on film so he can't really bullshit people the way he thinks he can. The contractions in his behavior and the straight up lies he tells in order to "adapt" to a more favorable perception are so obvious to everyone else

I don't know... it's pretty clear Phil was talking about AireaidLord and not this guy. He also sucks up to Soma Julius Cruz in this and lauds him as a great content creator... yeah, no.

Possibly, but I could have sworn Phil specifically talked about the convention (screwattack or whatever) by name. Also, did AireaidLord ever mod for Phil?
 
Gamerj did bring up that fanboy of Phil that wouldn't leave him alone but I always find it interesting when people share their encounters with DSP in the wild.

According to him, Panda is a huge cunt(no surprise really), and Gamerj's dad could tell DSP was a fuckin' asshole.

It's only an hour long rant and then he just goes into playing Crash Bandicoot so in a way it just felt like an opportunity to gather more followers and fans with how he brought up "what is good content compared to phil" shit and brought up a clip of himself, and how he treats his viewers and fans etc., with respect.

I don't know, but he was definitely in Phil's inner circle. The story Phil told about how the kid was busy with a new job/school, and that he suddenly joined with detractor groups (SoK) fits AireaidLord a lot better. Maybe Phil is mixing these two up, who knows.

Also, the AireaidLord rant is good shit if you enjoy Phil's autism vortex:

 
Finally got around to watching the full Minecraft rant and holy shit. Just...holy shit.
First of all, he monologues for a full hour about how the detractors are horrible people who insult his family and his business, ruining his life through bad word of mouth. Immediately after, someone tips him and suggests that "he stops calling people idiots all the time." Phil immediately proceeds to thump his chest like a macho man and say,
"What, do we live in a pussy society where we can't insult each other?" while also claiming he's not thin-skinned.
I really didn't think Phil could manage to piss me off any more than he already has. I really didn't. That's not even touching on him trying to claim that he never said anything offensive in his time, or that his trolls "aren't trying to expose what a bad person he is, they're just Kojima fanboys."
Furthermore, why does he think it's such an elaborate conspiracy as to why he became so unpopular? Is it really that hard to believe that people don't find you appealing? He also shifts the goalpost to "you need to point out things he does daily in order to properly criticize him." Here's one: the disgusting noises he makes into his mic all the time. Or that scummy "30 minutes left in the stream, last chance if you wanna donate!" shit he always says.
My God, there's so much hypocrisy to unpack here. I might genuinely have a hernia.

I like how he now retroactively claims he did the right thing the whole time, dood. He totally ignored the trolls in the beginning but then they kept escalating so he had to start acknowledging them, nothing he could do. I also love how he claims that he was singled out for playing games poorly, and that everyone who ended up in controversy at the time had to do something genuinely awful, but trolls would pick on him for something so innocuous as an exception. As if Retsupurae didn't exist at the time. He also refuses to accept that people didn't shit on him for playing poorly, it's how he handles everything. Fucking Game Grumps were terrible at video games and that didn't stop them from being unanimously loved

Phil doesn't have the ability to see legit fault in himself and that's why he loses his shit when he loses. He loves to gloat and talk shit when he is doing well and the second things go bad he goes apeshit, or at least he used to. There's a reason the wonderwaffle video is so legendary. It shows everything that is wrong with Phil.
 
Every time we get a tiny look into darks home life it just looks more and more pathetic. Two grown adults are watching someone else play a game they’ve both played to “reminisce” on it...why don’t you losers just play the game together...

Fuck man somehow dark made his life where he doesn’t do anything involving video games off screen sound less pathetic, these two have nothing in common besides shitty triple A video games to talk about. I

This story about them going to gamestop is also just weird and sad....I went into the store and just shook my head and left....what the fuck was he expecting in a GameStop? Who has this fond of memories about a store? I use to ride my bike there when I was younger but who cares, go in there and find a game you want and leave. He talks about GameStop like some carnival or park that’s gone to shit, it’s just a small store with fucking games on shelves. No shit going to buy games as a kid was more exciting then when you’re a nearly 40 year old loser, who talks like this? What the hell was “neat” about GameStop before....

Absolute Buffon, and by the way, kat agreed with me.

This sounds surreal enough to be a lie. Phil sitting down with someone to watch one of his playthroughs sounds like something he'd do with a captive woman, like Plinkett with Episode II, not a thing done as part of a husband and wife spending time together.

It just smacks of, "this is the sort of thing couples do, right? I'll just tweet that we did this", like he's completely clueless as to what that sort of thing might be if it doesn't involve spending money somehow. Hey Phil, if Tom Cruise made Katie Holmes sit down with him after they had dinner and watch a highlight reel of his acting roles that'd make him a creepy weirdo, not a charming cad like you seem to think of yourself as.

We really ought to be paying more attention to after-DarkSydePhil. It seems like between the gin and the fatigue that's when the mask really starts to slip.

He said they are watching a playthrough, not his playthrough.

It’s just a YouTuber with actual talent that kat likes and is either making him watch or he just wants to relax on the couch.

Either way it’s sad
