DarksydePhil Meta Thread - Discussion of the board itself.

  • 🔧 Actively working on site again.
I wonder if one of the reasons for this is because DSP himself is an isolate. Like, he's not a part of the Sektur, and up until the past few weeks rarely interacted with anyone else. I know the reason I started getting interested in Nick Rekieta's downfall was I remembered him as being that lawyer that commented on Phil's bankruptcy, which then turned into me looking into others affiliated with Nick once I started following his collapse -- you know, "networking." I know that can't account for all of it, as there are plenty of lolcows in the general "Lolcows" section that aren't affiliated with anyone else, but it definitely doesn't help I'm sure.
No. Most lolcows aren't in some pod and people will still browse other threads.

DSP is not isolated.
He get's reviewed and mentioned by a lot of different big creators.

I see a lot of posters from the DSP board migrate to others without problems.

About the illegal parts of the DSP lore: Comcast, and the bank leaks especially are by definition illegal.

I mainly post in the fat gorl board and I have seen a steady rise of just IRL going. With DSP this does not seem to have a rise but just extreme peaks. I do have to wonder how long before we get to some rando observing Khet while she is working. (Oh wait I think that happened)

At least DSP does not have kids so people cannot call CPS on his.
Yes, DSP lies but Chantal does too and I feel like at some point some alogs just beat a beat horse.

hey if you're in a big metal cage and you can't talk to anyone but there's a bunch of people looking at you and taking pictures and talking about you amongst themselves, are you isolated or are you one of the boys?

look at how people in this board react even when PPP talks to DSP. The amount of bullshit even they get for talking to him and fluffing his ego is INSANE. Nobody is allowed to be buddy-buddy with DSP. The Detractors will go after literally anyone talking to DSP without the sole expressed purpose of grilling him about muh taxes muh gacha.

What bullshit? Who are these people who are forbidding them to be buddy-buddy with DSP? And how are they accomplishing this?

The worst I've seen, even from the most spergy of youtube detractors is laughing at retards who unironically try to give DSP the benefit of the doubt. And they are right.
 
What bullshit?
lol i remember the last time i tried talking to the board, like 20 people volunteered to get banned, a mod quit, started a splinter forum, and then on twitter people would spam me from DSP-themed accounts calling me a child rapist

edit: looking at twitter, the recent drama with PPP is that some detractor is committing another felony and impersonating DSP to issue takedown notices on his content to punish him for talking to DSP.

Superhound is a well known DSP fan who Phil refuses to stop from sending random strikes since they happen to detractor channels typically.

Superhound isn't a detractor, since he often targets them, he isn't really a fan of Phil's either. He has long ago been unmasked as fellow lolcow Dominic Vanner aka Britbong aka Manlet Tears

You have my genuine sympathy. The DSP detractors are the biggest fucking faggots i’ve ever had the misfortune to come across.
 
My two cents, the board is fine and has arguably been fine for a pretty long time. I think the issue is a lot of people that don't regularly follow Phil have little idea of him. While the board is obviously pretty Phil focused, it also includes "the autism vortex" which is a broad way of referring to all the people that follow Phil.

Phil has a lot of a-logs, but none that are really regular posters on here. In no small part because we often say they're worse than Phil themselves. That's why we have a thread for them: https://kiwifarms.st/threads/darksydephil-a-logs-general.17334/

Any of the "bigger" stuff, like bank leaks, escort or comcast guy were just randos. It's entirely possible they have regular accounts here and just used alts, but either way, it wasn't a coordinated effort by users on here. And half of those threads, with the exception of bank leaks dude, are usually either saying whatever happened was dumb or expressing doubt about the actual validity. Even with the bank leaks, I recall some posts about how it was a stupid risk, and I imagine the only reason there wasn't more pushback is it was largely drowned out by all the jokes about the expenses themselves.

What causes people to get into slapfights is when outsiders come in looking for fights and saying how we're angry/seething/coping etc, usually while going on about how we're raging because Phil played a game we liked poorly or because he got an unprecedented amount of money. Except nobody really cares about what Phil plays these days because it's usually SF6/it's widely agreed Phil's gameplay is too boring to actually watch even in clips, or it's just riffed on by a few dedicated watchers who don't mind doing summaries, but those threads are usually pretty quiet and have zero rage posts. As for money, eh, it used to be a way bigger deal when we were playing autistic detectives trying to figure out what Phil was actually spending on. Once that mystery was settled, it became a lot less interesting. Despite what some newcomers think, the amount of money Phil is pulling in lately is also a nothingburger because it's not actually as unprecedented as people think and I don't know if it even ranks on the top 10 list of Phil's big pulls.

I think there's still some impression that Phil is at the height of the SoK days. Who were also mocked on here, but hating on Phil was definitely more in style then. I won't pretend the boards have always been clean, there were a lot of alogs and spergs and it was generally seen as more acceptable to act like that. But I think they more or less left around the time of the bankruptcy saga, which was the last real surge of rage aimed at Phil specifically. But that was years ago at this point. Other than that, there's the odd angry poster here and there, but they tend to be randos and not really "one of us". Most of the Phil rage really seems to stem from YouTube and Twitter specifically, but for whatever reason, this board gets blamed for that. Which feels pretty unique, I feel like with any other cow, if there's people sperging out on YouTuber/Twitter/Reddit, it's (rightly) seen as an outsider thing and never blamed on anyone in the thread.

For actual regulars, I think Phil is sorta the modern day equivelent of watching Jerry Springer or a guilty pleasure reality show, like any of the Gordon Ramsay stuff where there's some bumbling, socially inept cook/hotel owner trying to be human on camera. I think there's been some genuine gold with Phil lately, PC build and putting up foam streams being the two biggest highlights, and I think those really explempify why people find Phil weirdly fascinating to watch.
 
Yeah, the people in the Manlet Tears thread are 99% sure it's him, at best it's just him at worst he's just one member and multiple people use the name Superhound, one of which is Manlet Tears himself.
yeah doesn't help that superhound's old twitter account had a bunch of links to vanner-kingdom.com. when called out on it he plays dumb and tries to claim its an a log trying to pin all the dmca shit on him. some of the dmca take downs of detractors on twitter also align with dominic's bad days. like he recently got banned from kick then tractors started getting hit with dmcas, like hes doing it to make himself feel better. i got hit for a post from last November where i posted a pic of him. so 99% certain dominic is superhound. no one believes its dsp himself, hell the email address in the dmca notices is like management@vanner-kingdom.com not darksydephil@hotmail.com

Another thing about Phil and money.

It is in no way different than making fun of Ethan Ralph for being a loud mouth internet tough guy then pussying out at the first sign of physical confrontation, or making fun of Chantal for her constant announcing of new diets that only last as long as it takes to finish that sentence.

It is the exact same thing.

All of Phil's content revolves around begging and sob stories about how he needs that money in the most obviously fake way possible, for example his daily adult style utility bills he has to pay every single day. Another good one is complaining about the vet trying to do useless tests of his cat, which he says is his son, rejecting those tests, then buying a new $300 joystick literally a few days later (this is the joystick he later destroyed that Josh mentioned on MATI) instead of treating his "cat son".

This of course leads to scrutiny about his finances and making fun of much he lies about them, just as it leads to people challenging Ralph to fights IRL and documenting everything Chantal eats. It is the EXACT SAME THING.

If you think Ralph being proven to be a huge pussy and Chantal a compulsive eater is funny, but you still don't understand why DSP's begging is funny, you have to be at least a little retarded. People talk about DSP wasting money not because of hate, but because his entire persona revolves around money troubles and begging for it.

As for the people who have committed felonies, Phil will gladly tell you he's been around for 16 years 10 times in the same stream (ask PPP), and some random deranged people are bound to come across him in all that time, just like Ralph is likely to bet beaten up on the streets twice or trice, or Chantal get his cat taken by a alog. It's hardly a generalized thing people seem to imply. Most detractors simply like listening to detractor videos and streams on the background, same as they do for every lolcow.

And i would say he's got a lot more normie detractors than Ethan Ralph has given how much money DSP's detractors make compared to Cog.

Pretty much what Cyber Bowling said earlier about the board as it is now. The only real shit flinging happens when non regulars come in and repeat either Kino Casino's or Josh's talking points. When we ask who is saying Phil should be raped, killed and deplatformed it always ends up with "shubbidy bubbidy" on twitter or youtube. Then the circular discussion begins again.

Josh is a DSP neophyte and KC is just playing the glazing bit so hard they actually gaslit their own dents.

Both are pretty funny.

As much as the DSP detractors have spawned the dent tractors, I don't think it's Josh's or the Casino's fault that a few of their fans can't control themselves. I do think Josh is being stubborn in just assuming the board is still the same and using outside sources as reasons why this board sucks.

There is some humor in this whole Kino casino arc, but it isn't from spamming about king Phil and other such mindless regurgitation. I see it enough in detractor chat when people accuse Phil of something he's never done, then I have to be the asshole and try to correct them.
It's been said a million times (just realized I used a phil-ism) but there's plenty to make fun of without making shit up.
 
Superhound isn't a detractor, since he often targets them, he isn't really a fan of Phil's either. He has long ago been unmasked as fellow lolcow Dominic Vanner aka Britbong aka Manlet Tears
It was not proven that ALL copyright strikes were issued by Dominic. There were a number of impersonators that were involved and there were opping elements to this part of DSP saga.
LOL REALLY?
Agent Proper was one if not the best mod on the board.

You would be hard pressed to have someone say something negative about the man.
Proper's record removing the spergs is only known upon the closer examination of his history as a DSP detractor.

As to the angry elements of the board I firmly believe they are done because the average DSP poster has their own, yes valid reasons (begging intellectually disabled people for money) for not liking DSP. Unfortunately a lot become too fixated on this, to a point of dehumanizing the man.

I am just confused as to why when DSP is getting more paypigs those reasons magically disappear. To rebuff @Cyber Bowling I think the weirder elements of DSP detractor sphere unfortunately are over taking the chill and more creative people. You will have those people eventually get louder and louder. This happened because some more chill people were alienated of being lumped in with the spergs.
