What I love about all this autism is Phil's mental gymnastics to convince his retard audience that these were legitimate donations from a simultaneously ubiquitous and clandestine group "the silent majority". A group that we are told is commonplace, but nowhere to be found. Kind of like "male feminists that aren't sex pests".
So these people, "the silent majority", absolutely love Phil's content. They love him, and his streams, and want to see him continue to succeed. In one case we have a guy who is sitting on a Series X and is willing to pay for shipping, but not take two seconds to sell it for double what he paid for it and just PayPal Phil a fucking band. Which would help more? The Series X or the $1000?
In the next case we have another anonymous fan who is somehow more exceptional. They didn't even allegedly have the item in question, they worked with Phil behind the scenes to get him a laptop that met certain specs, and then dropped what, $500 to $700 bucks? Why not just PayPal the money again? Since when is reading chat or contributions 5 seconds faster more important than the IRS getting off your back or having a roof over your head?
But we're told these will help the streams, big time. Career savers. Game changers. He can do Gamepass now! Except he could do Gamepass with X-Box One. He can read chat and tips now! Except he could do that before.
Phil stamps his feet when his lies aren't bought by people with two brain cells to rub together, to which I say: "come up with better lies". Which sounds more plausible Phil? These people love you so much they're willing to bend over backwards to provide you with expensive trinkets that ostensibly do nothing to keep you going, but are unwilling to help you catch up on these dire bills, or that you bought this shit yourself and want money to make up for your piss-poor spending habits that have been documented for over a decade?
Ack-am's Razor, Phil. It didn't just fuck up your goatee, it fucked up your narrative.
