I know I've changed my mind and now I see...lolcows make stupid descions and do stupid things and we laugh at them for it, but sweet jezzum does this guy cross the line if tolerable and piss all over it. Fuck you Phil even the other phil of the darkside persuasion is a better man than him
ADF is in a special category of lolcows for sure. I really wish the ADFki was still a thing so newcomers could go see all the stuff he was about over the years. I think a version of it does exist but pages are missing and it’s not at all up to date.
Here’s an example, there’s lolcows I actually like: Ulillillia, Terry A. Davis (RIP), and Dan Quinn for example. If they died or someone close to them died I’d be genuinely upset. However I still laugh at their antics online. If people consider Metokur a lolcow, I’m actually a huge fan and don’t have anything bad to say about him other than he needs to make more content.
There’s lolcows that I don’t particularly dislike but I still think are funny nevertheless:
@Brad Watson_Miami, Chris-Chan, and MylarBalloonFan. These people are just displaying strange behavior and I’m reacting to it.
There’s lolcows I really don’t like but I still wouldn’t wish I’ll-will on. Brianna Wu, Tonka Saw, and The Amazing Atheist are all in this camp. I do not like these people but I don’t want them to like rot in hell or get raped and murdered in prison.
Then there’s lolcows that I absolutely fucking hate. Nick Bate, Amos Yee, and DeamondIsAmazings mom are all examples of that kind. I’d love nothing more than to see them get their asses whooped and be thrown in prison.
ADF for me is firmly in camp 4. It’s not because he’s a pedo or pedo enabler like the three I mentioned. It’s because he’s a fucking asshole that literally produces nothing, talks insanely tough, and tries to live out power fantasies when he knows full well he can never fulfill them and LARPs as some kind of Ultra-Revolutionary when we all know he’s just a fat retarded slob who refuses to hold down a job and uses Marxist rhetoric to justify it even though Marx, Engels, Lenin, Stalin, Mao, etc. would never approve of his lifestyle choices. All were rabidly homophobic. All strongly disapproved of people who just leeches off the state, Marx called them “Lumpenproletariat” and disavowed them. Engels wrote a pamphlet about an early Gay Rights activist named Karl Heinrich Ulrichs where he explicitly stated he was turning “Smut into theory” and denounced him at length. Yet Phil won’t bother to address these things or even research them. Hell he won’t even say “Well that interpretation is outdated” he doesn’t realize Mao considered Homosexuals unproductive to society and anyone under 65 who didn’t work either starved to death or got a lead injection their family was billed for. I was into Commie shit in my Teen years and Early 20s so I have actually read all this stuff. Now I’m far more Conservative.
And maybe it’s also that he’s my first cow and I’ve been following him for so long that I’ve just seen a pattern of shitty behavior with no redeeming qualities. Since I started in 2008 there have been no redeeming things he has ever done. Chris at least tries to be nice to his fans. Brad Watson at least has a theory - an incoherent one but a theory that he does post about at length. Tonka Saw at least does a podcast and even if he’s an Internet tough guy that won’t put up he has a loyal if modest following. Phil has none of that. Just conspiracy theories, assaulting elderly women, constantly being a nuisance, had one job his entire life that he did one day a week, he blames his father as a rapist when all evidence points to the contrary, Internet tough guy shit. All of it. It makes me repulsed to think this is a free adult. This is a person walking about society with total freedom.
Sorry about the rant.
