It goes beyond that null no offense but This feels like you lashing out that community or parts of it you don't like a child. phil has done may numerous horrendous things, is he worse then ltg (atleast recently) no but does he beg for money harder then a meth addict selling pens in a walmart (yes) also why are you looking for any possible arguement and moving goal posts to irl for fucks sake this arguement could be applied to anisa (idubbztv whore wife) or even daniel larson (excluding the pedo shit) If you wanna close the board fine but enough of the strawmans and bitching.
Now that I'm thinking about it, what's frustrating about the "Is Phil bad" defense is it's basically rage-post bait. I don't think any of the regulars really care all that much about that side of Phil, with many even saying they like Phil precisely because he's not as bad as other cows. But then when people start asking for justification, we point out that there are technically things Phil has done that are bad, only to get quoted and act like we're constantly complaining about/hate Phil for those things when, in reality, they're pretty incidental.
Like...multiple people have brought up us being mad about Phil beating the IRS, which if you look at the main thread isn't something we really talk about at all. Mostly because, it never happened. Not in a "I'm too stubborn to admit Phil won" sense of never happening, but in the literal sense of there's never really been an IRS arc with Phil. The closest to an IRS arc is Phil being told he owes backtaxes and being put on a payment plan. That's it. It's barely a footnote in Phil's history, but apparently it's something we're constantly seething about because we're all pro-IRS? Other than that, there's speculation on whether Phil lies about his taxes, but like most speculation, it's more of an amusing "what if". Even for actual a-logs, it's hard to get mad at pure speculation.
Same deal with Phil's dents. We'll use that as an example of Phil being a bad person when pressed, but it's not like we're pearl clutching and constantly posting about how poor Derich is being taken advantage of. There's a reason multiple dents have their own threads, and the few times someone does come in pretending to care about them, we point out how autistic that is. It's not like, a central point to the community or something we frequently post about. If you look past the recent drama of us defending/justifying the boards existence and in house slap fighting, the things that are most often discussed are: Phil's hilarious and nonsensical rants, jokes about spending on Champions, clips of Phil raging at Street Fighter and then sometimes riff-style summaries of Phil playing through more notable games, which are often more tongue in cheek than actual rage inducing. Honestly, I think Doody and lately Snort have been targets of legitimate rage more than Phil has. Some people have expressed annoyance or confusion over the KC arc, but I don't know if anyone has really gotten like, mad about it. There's been posts saying they want it to end, but that's hardly a-log material.
Then there's confusing claims that everyone hates us because we shit up the rest of the site, but then also we apparently never leave the subforum and we should actually be interacting with more threads? I'm willing to believe we have some blindspots within our own community, and even if I disagree with some of the posts about how we conduct ourselves, I appreciate the non-troll ones (or at least not 100% trolling) that at least give some feedback, but the only real takeaways I've been able to come away with is: Don't ask for featured threads/don't complain if something does get featured, and don't abuse the tagging system, which are perfectly reasonable requests, but I can't imagine all this vitriol is solely because of those two issues.
. How about you eat the shit out of his ass with a spoon null. Remember that unhinged meltdown? You said something along the lines of "I've never seen DSP like this". That was all because we said he's not a video game character. How is that "calmer"?
