3/29/2018: Phil Suspended from Twitch again -

[BrunoMattei]

Well, he does have gout, of course. He could be trying to relieve pain in a toe or something. I think that's why he sways when he's standing, most noticeable when he's holding a camera.

(And related to that, if he does have back pain, either from some accident or sitting in an awkward position in an old love seat, I think his rocking back and forth is to relieve pain as well).

Let's put this rumor to rest: he doesn't have gout. He claimed his foot was hurting and everyone online jumped to the conclusion that it was gout and he didn't deny it. He's shown a photo or two of his foot when it was hurting and it didn't look like gout. He hasn't experienced any other subsequent gout-attacks (for lack of a better phrase) since this episode and he eats like complete shit.

He does not have gout. It's a funny meme that pisses him off but he does not have gout.

He claims he has a bad back and this is more debatable. Because the development with him swaying back and forth is relatively recent (in the last year or two that is). He's never displayed a back spasm or anything like that in the thousands of hours of video footage of him sitting on his ass. And there's never been footage of him being in pain and playing while lying on his back like most sufferers of back pain would do.

I personally believe he doesn't have a back injury. He may have suffered a sprain when he had the car accident but that was it.

What are the odds of Phil trying to pass off birthday decorations as a tax write off? Bonus if he includes a cake.

A cheap streamer trying to get a deductible on cheap streamers. The joke writes itself.

 

[James Smith]

I'm almost certain that he has that very common tic where you bounce your heel while keeping the front of your foot on the ground, and most people do it when either bored or nervous/anxious. It very well could be that he does it for both reasons, but if someone's talking about something like being banned from Twitch when it's their livelihood and desperately trying not to fuck up and say something dumb, I'd guess it's the latter in the case of his streams on the topic. It's really easy to see if someone's doing it in a swivel chair like that one for obvious reasons, but as hard as he was doing it I'm guessing even if he was in a regular hardback chair you'd be able to see it.

He was doing it in a Connecticut-era video with John holding the camera, with them both laughing and having a good time. He just needs to be on some meds. It's neither stress-induced nor new.

 

[BatChatillon]

Those mental gymnastics. So Phil claims that he was baited into the ban, since the detractor set up the trap by adding his avatar and posting something so nasty in the stream chat that Phil was forced to respond to it, and said avatar was so disgusting that Phil had no other choice than ranting and insulting him for a good minute.

And of course he has to point out that he now has time for his girlfriend to spend, since that's what she is there for - to be shown around like a trophy.

 

[AnOminous]

Let's put this rumor to rest: he doesn't have gout. He claimed his foot was hurting and everyone online jumped to the conclusion that it was gout and he didn't deny it.

It's one of his most bullshit claims and he's never mentioned it again. Gout is so excruciatingly painful nobody would have it and be able to do anything normal without treating it. Luckily, the treatment is a pill cheaper than aspirin, or just not eating 15 hamburgers a day.

He's still the King of Gout to me, though.

 

[FallGout]

He claims he has a bad back and this is more debatable. Because the development with him swaying back and forth is relatively recent (in the last year or two that is). He's never displayed a back spasm or anything like that in the thousands of hours of video footage of him sitting on his ass.

I personally believe he doesn't have a back injury. He may have suffered a sprain when he had the car accident but that was it.

There is no way he has a herniated disc like he claims, knowing someone who actually suffers from one their daily life is a struggle yet DSP was able to play Just Dance on kinect and not show a single bit of discomfort. I think he just has trouble sitting still like a kid with ADHD or something similar.

Phil did have gout. He claims he doesn't have it anymore but he has admitted he did.

 

[ProdigalDuke]

This whole thing reinforces the idea that the easiest way to get a rise out of Phil is to insult his ability at videogames. He might have a mini rant if you call him a fat faggot or mock his snorting or his pet horse, but time and time again we get the biggest rage whenever his gaming ego might be bruised. That's why he's always seething during fighting games.

Think how many trolls go into Phils chat on a daily basis, 25? 50? 100? they insult him and get banned. This guy said something that most would consider a weak and vague insult at best. But Phil lost it cause it insinuated he's shit at vidya. He couldnt let it lie so he had to find out about this dude and insult his appearance. Now detractors know how to really get under his skin, he's gonna be even more vulnerable. And it's glorious.

 

[Kermit the Frog]

If Phil ever did have gout, there's no way it wouldn't have come back at some point considering his unhealthy lifestyle and how gout can come back by pure chance. Still, it's fucking hilarious that he would EVER admit to having gout in the first place because the jokes about his fat ass just write themselves. It's a perfect example of his short term thinking: he'll say he has gout for some pity bucks over the next few days, but he didn't think that people will make fun of him forever for it.

 

[Noodles&Nuggets]

He's still the King of Gout to me, though.

Someone in my family has gout and it's actually a lot more of a pain to deal with. I'm not sure if it's a form of arthritis or if they just also have arthritis, but there are so many foods you have to avoid or else it will flare up. Personally I believe Phil lied about the gout the entire time. I don't think he ever got a diagnosis of gout and more than likely shrugged off what the doctor told him in favor of his own self-pity's creation. What makes me believe this most of all is the amount of acidic foods he's shown off on Instagram. All those unholy, over-sugared pasta sauces would kick his ass after his gout flared up for a couple days.

 

[Drip Feed]

Did my guy say hes going to be using a horn and whistles to be making hype for big cheers?

Spoiler: What year is it

He is now done scraping the bottom of the barrel for interactivity and is scraping away the wood.

Well, when you have near zero experience actually interacting normally with people you start regressing in to a mong.

The only time he interacts with anyone is thanking them for money or insulting them for petty reasons. Soon he'll just grunt all the time. His only option when he comes back is to be the bitch of twitch. It's safer for him to go mute.

Edit - Does he actually think Twitch cares enough about him to make an example of him? He's a fucking nobody in comparison to some of their more successful streamers. Chances are he's just being punished like any other small streamer. He's not worth it to Twitch to make a "case study" out of.

Both good points. I never really questioned the gout thing just cuz, well, at his age, it's an embarrassing condition to have. He would have been in his late 20's, early 30's when he said it started? Plus, in a very rare instance with Phil, it's something he has no one to blame for but himself.

But yes, Phil eats mostly shit and drinks a fair amount. And I can't recall him ever complaining of being in pain for either condition. (Not sure if this is an off-topic discussion. Is this sorta the temporary mega-thread?)

[HighTierGout]

DSP doesn't have back pain at all, what he probably has is, he never walks more than 20mins regularly, and that will mess with your back if you're not moving for a bit everyday, at some point your back will start hurting because you're trying to stand straight and you're used to sitting all day, it can easily be fixed by walking around his gated community or even....spend time with gf outside of the gout castle

 

[Wurstbrot]

Agreed. His isolation from society and the constant negativity is a huge problem for him. He was always the guy who gets laughed at, even before Youtube, which is why he gave himself the name "King of Hate", because according to him the hate gives him motivation, makes him stronger. I call this socially handicapped, but whatever.

Phil himself admits and understands that he is bombarded with negative influences and that it affects his behaviours, that he can't really distinguish between slightly negative and harshly negative comments anymore. For him everything is an attack on his personality, even when an 11-year-old just says "Stupid" to him or when a blue-bearded-guy estimates he will ragequit again. This is just his defence-mechanism, built up over many years.
I utterly doubt he wants to be this guy, which he also stated at some point. I can totally understand when he says he don't want to see any negativity anymore - he is mentally done - he wants to stay in his little shelter and just have a good time even so this is not "how life works".

At the end of the day, as big of a pigroach he is and how alien his whole behaviour is: He is just a human with limits, like everyone else.
Society formed him and constant "negativity" towards him doesn't help his case at all. In some regards I'm sorry for him. I don't want to be in his situation.

HOWEVER, bullshit needs to be adressed when bullshit falls. Even when someone understands where he comes from, doesn't mean Phil behaves acceptable.
He does shit -> People give shit back. This is how life works.
But say that to a person who handles everyone like they want to ruin his business. Behind his defence mechanism is critique invisible. Pretty much what BSV* said; he is a lost case, every attempt to fix him is for nothing. Don't waste your time.

And don't fuckin give him money. This guy needs a professional psychiatrist.

*) lol, sorry, wrote your name wrong, pal.

I'm a huge proponent that environments shape people's attitudes and behaviors; with Phil that is to a certain point. That said, Phil came into the online fgc and YouTube with poor behavior before the constant backlash that he gets. Community's carry social norms, etiquette, and behavior that are considered appropriate or acceptable (Kiwi included). Phil chose to disregard those community norms in each situation, was reprimanded, scorned, or kicked out and then cries foul. If he wants to be part of that community then you need to adhere to those norms. If I came in Kiwi complaining about following people for the laughs, I'd get never ending autism points, and rightfully so.

Phil's misplaced victimhood with regards to his online presence is indicative of his lack of understanding for social cues. That is where his failings reside.

 

[Noob-Noob]

Phil got cited in another video.

Although, I don't think he'll be bragging about this one quite as much... LOL

I agree with most of what you said. I however have very little sympathy for him anymore. At every step of his "10-year-odyssey" he's had both haters and genuine fans both helping and tearing him down. Now, I won't pretend to know what it's like to constantly be made fun of for whatever reason. The fact that he chose to apparently only focus on the hate says everything that needs to be said about his personality to me.

There are plenty of people who've had far more hate thrown at them that didn't become complete cunts. He constantly chooses the courses of action that will only bring him more. He's never to my knowledge given not being a complete dick a chance. He bans people giving genuine advice simply because it's too much and his fragile ego can't cope with the fact that maybe he is/has been doing things wrong.

His circumstance and environment may have shaped him into the man he is, but I can't separate that from the fact he at no point has attempted to change anything in his favor. At some point he just became a cunt. Whether knowingly or not. If anything he's a cautionary tale to me, someone to point at and think "never be like that".

 

[BSV]

I don't have any reason to belive phil didn't have gout at some point. It's a typical old mans decease being young and getting it often is a product of eating really unhealthy and drinking heavily. It's not something you lie about. Because it is easy to avoid, he is the youngest person I have known with a case of it. It's not something you make up for sympathy. Because it is bad lifestyle choice that gets you there in the first place. And his reaction to it when you bring it up, is telling me he understands that. It's not something he is proud of.

Also you almost have to be the person in question to know if he has any back pain or pain in general. And honestly the only thing I have heard him say that is stupid in regards to this is that the Seattle air would help it. Unless it is something psychological. A close family member of mine claimed she had unbearable back pain. The thing is that it it wasn't anything physical. But the pain was real, and caused by stress. So unless you are the person in question you cannot say for sure if they are experiencing pain or not. Didn't phil receive some handicap benefits or is that something that isn't right?
