Question for @Weeping With Pity
Did Phil excessively use Strawmen and ad hominem ("Republican!" "homophobe" "cis-scum") to "prove his point" before his downfall on deviantArt and his "yaoi-phase"? I mean, there must have been a point in his life where he didn't identify as homosexual yet to claim oppression-points (before oppression-points were even invented).
It makes me wonder how much an autistic kid can get ruined by exposure to internet communities.
He started out as a cis-male identified awkward Asperger's sufferer with an unrequited crush on "Kory" (I don't think I ever actually saw her name written down, so I might be misspelling it). She allowed him to do what basically amounted to fan art of characters she had created. At this time, nothing that would come to be known as "Tumblrisms"
Dusty came onto the scene like a storm front, re-starting the defunct gay/straight alliance and calling for other student orgs to team up and do cool stuff. Phil's anime club teamed up with him and the radio club for a Halloween party, and then Phil started telling everyone he was bisexual and being "hard to get" around Dusty, who just sort of smiled and nodded. Interesting side note, Dusty dressed as a southern belle for Halloween that year, making a more convincing woman that Phil ever has and possibly sparking what would eventually become Ahuviya the transwoman. Shortly after, Phil possibly faked death threats. Dusty rode to the rescue making sure no one was going to be bullied for their sexuality on "his" campus, and Phil clung to his savior like a limpet, verbally assaulting anyone who tried to take Dusty's attention away from him. Here was where "awkward" turned into "freaky," as his DA audience lauded him for the courage to say he was bi. The first "rant" I can remember was an example of this, where the guy Dusty was helping restart the literary magazine (a previously homeschooled conservative Christian, to boot) got an earful about BDSM, and some threats about what would happen if he tried to steal Phil's "dom."
A few months later, he declared himself Latino and asked everyone to call him Felipe, and after that came Felicia the transwoman. He assigned Kory's character "Canis" as a representation of Dusty, who got his self-insert character pregnant. This upset both Kory and Dusty, and he got temperamental with them when they complained. He even began using "Canis" to address the real person. It should be noted that no one but Phil (and people who learned about him from Phil) has ever called Dusty "Canis," and he has certainly never gone by that himself.
To get to the point, I don't remember him ranting at people in public about ideologies, though since he was still fixated on Dusty up until the time most of us graduated, if he was told by his unwilling "master" to behave, he'd shut up for a bit. Usually. However, the latin/trans stages were where things started getting insane, as any time he was asked to justify his identity, he'd start howling about how "real" friends would support him, and the people on DeviantArt were his "real" friends who supported him as a transwoman Mexican expatriate living in Canada (on the internet, no one knows you're a potato). This did not stop him from chasing Dusty through the halls of the student center begging for affection while covered in tears and snot.
