When people suggested he stop calling everyone names at the slightest provocation, after he said "What, do we live in some pussy-ass society where you can't call someone what they are? No, I'm going to call them what they are!", he followed that up in a holier-than-thou tone with "I'd like to think we're better than that."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.
By "better than that" he literally meant that everyone is required to accept and not call him out when he behaves like a rampant asshole because he experienced the slightest bit of provocation, whether it was grounded in reality or not. Considering his outbursts are never appropriately proportional, let alone even connected to reality, and he always goes straight into a 'gaslighting levels of character assassination' rant it was really surreal to see him smugly refer to defending that behavior of his by saying "I'd like to think we're better than that."
