Orbiter Kat Speculation - With guest appearances by her sister, Jenna

[Fapcop]

I think people are crazy, Philburt is quite understandable and has nothing wrong with him. He is a neurotypical human being.

Counter argument: How the fuck can a normal, non autistic human being, live without having a friend or buddy, or even just going out for over a decade?

Counter argument 2: Panda… Remember that video of them in a hotel and Panda laying on the bed? She’s showing off her tits and ass, trying to get Phil to notice her while he’s busy… FILMING THE HEADBOARD!

I refuse to believe that a neurotypical man in his early 30ies, would FILM THE HEADBOARD OF THE BED, instead of throwing the camera into the corner and go down on his ten year younger, hot and obviously very horny girlfriend.

I think we might have different definitions of what retarded means. Phil is stupid as fuck yes, but he is a college graduate and valedictorian. He's not literally retarded. Kat on the other hand.... lol.

No I know what you mean, and I don’t mean “retarded” as in “lol! He’s dumb!”.

I mean retarded as in the medical meaning: Phil is mildly retarded with an IQ of around 90.

College graduate and valedictorian means fuck all when you realize where Phil is from and what kind of schools he went to. Nog filled schools were just the fact that you showed up meant that you got to graduate.

Just because Phil is mildly regarded, it doesn’t mean that he won’t outthink a class full of inner city, even more regarded nogs.

 

[BScCollateral]

It's a tough call.
One thing I've learned from WPIG -- Phil has always been unpopular. Nobody's ever liked him. To this day, he comes across as an asshole you don't want to deal with, even if he's saying something you should be able to sympathize with. He thinks there's too much pandering and sex in entertainment and finds it a bit distasteful? Agree or not, it's a reasonable opinion to have which he has ruined with this over-the-top hyper-puritan attitude he chooses to present.
He's that guy you don't really like but he's part of the gang so you tolerate him. His curse is he came along at just the right time where entire nations of people can come together as brothers just saying "DSP? What a jerk, amiright?"
He'd be so much better off if he had never become a public figure.

You should see some of the waterheads I graduated with. One dude legitimately still can't tell his left from his right to this day. Owning that pretty piece of toilet paper doesn't mean shit when it comes to intelligence, especially nowadays. Or well, it only matters depending on what letters are written on that piece of toilet paper. If it's something like physics then yeah, someone who is dim can never hope to attain it. A biznis degree on the other hand?

Dude, those posts where he cried about nobody wanting to hang out with him or in his hotel room despite the fact that he hauled over like 4 consoles and all the fighting games for them? All of us had that one "friend" who nobody really liked but people tolerated him and hung out at his house because he had both consoles and all the games. Just goes to show how much of an unlikable asshole he always was.

I disagree unless 'never become a public figure' is a euphemism for 'never had access to the Internet' - his whole online presence going back to his time on Usenet (dates are probably lost forever since the timestamps all got reset when the site was absorbed into Google Groups) has been egotistical, abrasive, and demeaning to the point that everyone hated his guts. Even if DSP never became Youtube famous he'd still be going on rants about how everyone is stupid except him and there's a conspiracy against him, the audience would just be smaller. Would that be better? Yeah. Would that be a huge improvement? Not really, he'd just be less of an egotistical lunatic, it wouldn't make him well adjusted.

I really don't think you understand what mental retardation actually means. We're talking barely functional drooling downies not people like Phil.

 

[Iron Father]

90 IQ is average bozo stuff. It's not mild retardation. Phil is the definition of the average schmuck.

IQ is based on your ability for pattern recognition; it's not rare that people can't see the pattern of going to jail of commiting crimes. I think the IQ is a complimentary argument for the core issue at debate: WHY IS DSP SO FUCKING QUEER?

 

[Iron Father]

He inherited his faggotry from his dyke aunt iirc.

 

[BPD Gunt Rider]

I really don't understand how you guys can watch Phil and even doubt he has autism. He's literal minded (thought a rainy day fund literally meant for a rainy day), obsessively uses rigid scheduling that he get super upset if he strays from, he hates people and is super rude and antisocial, he has his special interests WWE and Street fighter. It just went undiagnosed because it was the 80s and his white trash family wasn't going to take him to a shrink.

The main attribute with autism is communication problems, and that Phil doesn't have. True and honest autists would not last in customer service jobs for as long as Phil did.

I maintain Phil is a narcissist who is on the stupid side. He's always been an asshole but he was at least functional early in his Youtube days. Many years of being a shut-in, and then streaming all day to retards he hates while affirming himself as one of the most hated lolcows on the Internet, that has caused mental problems which are hard to diagnose.

 

[Sicko Hunter]

Phil lasted as long as he did at that customer service job because his dad was higher up at the company. He was protected. When he moved to jobs where his dad wasn't working he got fired very quickly like when he worked at Best Buy.

 

[Prince Lotor]

If Katherine is supposedly a physical abuse victim isn't it fucked up for her to have to listen to Phil yelling and pounding on things during uncontrolled rages? And then she has to listen to Phil blame everything but himself for his behavior?

He's a lazy antisocial asshole.

I think one of the biggest counter-examples to the idea he's autistic/mildly retarded is him speaking publicly at that panel.

I mean she's off at work during the day, and while phil might be a Karen and a big tough guy online I dont think he'd get like that to her. Hence why he says he always apologizes after salty nights of SF6 or Tekken

The restraining order against Subaru may not have been related to physical violence. They never outright said what it was all about, Pigroach was just hinting at it to fish for sympathy at the end of the Sidescrollers interview.

Not sure about this, but wasn’t it issued after she made contact with Phil and started cheating? Phil mentioned he had to bankroll her to stay at motels for a couple weeks after Subaruman sent her to the streets where she belonged. Probably just some petty revenge on her end. He dressed it up as her lease expiring, I think. But it was obviously her getting righteously kicked to the curb.

And to be honest megacucked Phil was letting Panda drive his car to her Tyrone meetings even post break up, according to him, so he might just agree with her that Subaruman was wrong to terminate her couch surfing benefits.

Unironically good match who deserve each other, for sure.

 

[DiabeticSydePhil]

As someone who has worked with mildly retarded women in an office setting, Kat fits right in with them.

They weren't 'need to be in a home' retarded, but they were just... off. Can't fold a box together or deliver office mail to the right departments despite it being the same task every fucking day levels of minor retardation that make you sigh and very slowly let HR weed them out for fucking shit up on the regular.

Kat's 100% that type of slow, it's why she couldn't hold down a job, probably because literally stocking shelves is too hard for her to do without a manager reminding her to set the labels facing out every time stuff.


Phil is stupid, on the other hand, but not retarded. His issues are from spending so long in isolation that he's unlearned social cues and how to function as an adult because he never needs to. Besides Kat, the most contact the man has with the world is calling Comcast when his internet goes down. He's spent almost his whole adult life post youtube career either sitting alone in his room barely reading chat messages and talking to himself, or talking to Panda/Kat in passing. And you can watch the decline in his ability to act human in real time once Panda moved out.

 

[KD6-3.7]

Anyone who puts corn in corned beef hash (Kat) is incredibly retarded as well as literal-minded to a hilarious extent. And she and Phil may very well be soul mates based on how literal-minded we know Phil to be.

If I remember the Pigroach lore correctly, until Sidescrollers interview, the worst thing Pigroach could say about Subaru's abusive behavior was that Subaru forced Fat Kat to go with him to watch all the new Marvel movies at the theater, when Fat Kat was not interested.

I'm thinking Fat Kat had it pretty easy.

 

[DeeTracktor]

when Fat Kat was not interested.

Anyone else noticing a theme here...
