Off-Topic Phil's Oedipus complex -

[Le Bateleur]

Phil has on several occasions made reference to having an Oedipus complex. For instance, at around 00:09 in this video he mentions it as one of the reasons he is "really evil":

Another instance is found in his rap lyrics, which he presents as being from an album called "Oedipus Complex" (the album seems as real as his country).

Could people more familiar with Phil's past shed any light on how Phil understands/interprets the idea of an Oedipus complex? Is he just using it as shorthand for "I hate my dad"? Or does he understand and yet still choose to embrace the additional connotation of "I have sexual desire for my mom"?

Is being Oedipal still a part of Phil's persona, or has he dropped it?

 

[Sczylak Madgar]

Obviously not, considering he cut all ties to his mother.

The demo .wavs of the Oedipus Complex LP would be the holy grail of lolcow finds.

 

[Hyperion]

Phillip is a fucking idiot. I doubt he even knows what an Oedipus Complex actually is.

how Phil understands/interprets the idea of an Oedipus complex?

Pretty much like anyone who is batshit insane and pretty stupid.

Do the math.

Sophocles was a dang dirty white cis male and so ahuviya refused to read Oedipus Rex in high school with the rest of us.

 

[Stress Sigh]

Well he did hit on his mother.

 

[Positron]

If anything Phil has the gay form of Electra Complex, wanting his daddy to rape him.

Every 4th of July Phil weeps because his daddy didn't want to play cave explorer.

 

[Milford Grimley]

Phil has more in common with Marjan than I thought.

 

[Bassomatic]

Oedipus was a real mother fucker.
Phil went 50 shades of grey on Mom.
Gross

 

[Weeping With Pity]

Sophocles was a dang dirty white cis male and so ahuviya refused to read Oedipus Rex in high school with the rest of us.

Considering that would be before his "straight male lusting after Corrie" and "gay male lusting after Dusty" phases, I'm not feeling this one. More likely he was just lazy and Oedipus isn't available in anime or manga form (or at least wasn't back then)

 

[tomgirl4life]

he probably doesn't even know what it means, he just knows oedipus killed his dad and he associates that with the phrase.

how can an oedipus complex be real if freud was full of shit
