Thunderf00t / Phil Mason - Single manbaby, angry atheist/anti-feminist Youtuber, attention whore

Is it a mid-life crisis if he looks like he's in the last-quarter of his life?

Also the thing I remember most about F00t is, back when he was going on about Sarkeesian, he thought the "Women in refrigerators" trope was about literal women in refrigerators. That told me immediately how in depth he looks at things before he starts talking about them.
 
I agree. But those scientists are in really short supply and in really high demand. And generally, even the brilliant ones have a focus that's just too narrow to make it as a popular public intellectual. The very thing that makes them great scientists tends to work against them in that wider sphere.
A lot of those you won't even realize are science as the best way to communicate a topic is to show its application and make it practical for a more public use.

It would seem that Thunderf00t has trooned out or at least is close to it

"Look at me! Look at me Anita, I am the feminist woman now, bigot."

Mid-life crisis incoming.
I think that's been happening for a long time now with his constant chimping out about Elon Musk. Dude can't go a few weeks without making a video about how much he's seething about something Musk did.

That told me immediately how in depth he looks at things before he starts talking about them.
It's rather strange as he'll be very autistic about some things and dig up all kinds of evidence that's actually useful, and then other things he'll accept as fact and present as fact even if it openly contradicts him. I remember in some of his videos he'd show an article that actively disputes what he's saying in the video, but he'll use it as support of what he's claiming.
 
Thunderf00t isn't a Britbong intellectual by any stretch of the imagination. We don't tend to think of people with a science background as being intellectuals at all. (I think that's probably true of all of Europe.)
I meant public intellectual on the internet. I agree that the UK, the rest of Europe and most of the world don't consider actual scientists as intellectuals; because actual scientists need to make sure their tenure gets renewed. Phil's been able to avoid that at least, since he at least has a job and has been able to keep it despite getting on the gamergate and anti-islam trains a little bit.

But Richard Dawkins is still considered a public intellectual right? He goes on TV debates and kinda succeeds at living up to at least a shadow of Christopher Hitchens. I think he's the only big atheist who actually hates every religion and not just Christianity. Speaking of, I wonder if Phil is only a Christian-hater too nowadays; he's really let his Musk Derangement run his channel so I'm not sure if he accepted it as part of the right side of history start pack.

He is, but he's somewhat marginal. Nobody's inviting him onto anything to hear his opinions about anything in this day and age -- unless it's specifically about atheism.

I agree with your points about Mason though. I quite used to enjoy his ranting back in the day, when he'd get affronted by people challenging things like sexual dimorphism.

"But... but .. but the science!" Today, everybody seems to have abandoned those basic tenets -- and even when they haven't, there's no way in hell any of them are going to articulate those views on a public platform. Life's too short, cancellation has happened too often. But even if your institution stands behind you, the retards will make your life a misery. Young middle class twats who wouldn't know hardship if it came up and bit them on the arse have always been desperate for a cause to rail against. Today, it's the right to have their bollocks chopped off if the whim should seize their imagination.

So, have at it young pooners and troons. Chop those genitalia out of all living memory. And remember, the doctors and scientists who tell you that science says you're a true and lawful woman are the thought leaders of the very same disciplines that not very long ago were also telling us that niggers and jews were sub-human species, and that we needed to improve the race by preventing the 'bad stock' in our national tribes from breeding.

When you cast a jaundiced eye over what we've become in 2023, it's hard not to wonder whether those eugenicists didn't have something of a point.
 
his voice, my fucking god
why does he always have to sound like hes giddy with arrogance? constantly?!
i remember a while back i watched one of his science bitch videos where he was just doing an experiment
totally normal voice, making a normal video, then he gets a hate boner and all of a sudden he has to sound like hes forever amused by how stupid people are
he just released this video, pretty good overview of the recent UFO/UAP whistleblower hoax horseshit, so the smugness is turned up to full

Going by memory, Dawkins had a stroke and had to cut back on being a public figure. The stress was getting to him.

It's worth noting that Dawkins is also very much against the trans ideology shit.

One of the interesting things about the cultural shift is it revealed who was well meaning but lefty and who was a grifter. Bill Maher has been surprisingly consistent in his stance on free speech and the modern leftists hate him which shows how far they've strayed from anything they stood for a decade or two ago.
 
Phil decided to grift off the expensive sea burial service from OceanGate (lol), like every other science-adjacent channels.

As usual, not a bad video for someone that doesn't know anything about physics (and chemistry) but way too much rambling for someone that does.

Even when he is 100% right, he comes off as an insufferable know-it-all with an axe to grind.
 
That's not trooning out, that's mid life crisis. Disregard the rainbow vomiting, focus on the younger chick, TF's legs (he's been active, I know those calf muscle shape), he lost some weight, barely contains his smirk, wears youthful fashion and keeps his hair long like in highschool.
Which is really doing a number on his looks (for his age).
He needs to go out and catch some sun, and cut that stupid hair.
Verdict - no trooning out dangers whatsoever. Just normal heterosexual 40-50s male behavior, similar to American Beauty or w/e. Hitting the gym is basically necessary at this age, so I hope he continues doing that.
Here's the archive of that in case it goes away:

I also doubt he'd troon. Just not that type of arrogance.

While he has kept almost completely quiet on social issues for years, those who followed TF's exploits for longer will certainly remember him from the anti-feminism era, the first stage of anti-SJW content on YT, and mostly an inner-liberal conflict, not left vs right.
He is not a progressive, and he knows very well there are racial and sex differences. He's a classical shitlib that doesn't want to associate with the right, so he'll keep silent about politispergery these days. Probability to troon is quite low, but in 2023 it's hard to have a definitive opinion.
 
I like Thunderf00t. However, I must say... Its absolutely staggering how this guy has been producing videos for 15 years and his production quality hasn't improved at ALL.

When he stays on topic and talks about science he can be great. When he gets smug and strays into rambling about how he wants to have angry sex with Elon Musk every single video it becomes obnoxious.
 
I can't watch this britbong his videos. He makes his point in 2,5 minutes and than pads it to 30 ~ 60 mins by repeating himself 5 bazillion times, usually with 2000 era memes or just him making the same point over and over again.

If he'd got to the point quicker I wouldn't mind him.

i could have sworn that smugly chuckling died with Sargon, but evidently not -_-
his new video i couldnt even make it 2 minutes into
hes bitching about some 10 mil sub youtuber who probably clickbaits and/or stretches the truth/lies
 
apologies for the double post, been a while since the last update and hes not all that exciting
Thunderf00t is hard to listen to, but his hateboner for Musk feeds him enough energy to continue his sperging
a pretty catch-all video about Elon Musk, and as annoying as he can be, hes always pretty spot on about Elon
he does a kind of chronological look at Elon, all the way up to 2023
if you have watched his other videos on Musk you have even less of a reason to watch this video, its just a faster chronological version of all his Musk videos combined into 1 debooonking video
