In other news, ProJared and his wife were attending PAX, and while they were away, a pipe burst in their home and caused a significant amount of damage, including unleashing a bunch of asbestos into the air. They're trying to get everything fixed, but it's uninhabitable at the moment.

And they were about to move anyway, so now they have to do both at the same time.

I just did an asbestos abatement in my basement. That really blows; I hope their homeowners insurance is good for it.

I like DSP as an acronym, because it takes a couple of lines to figure out which DSP this thread is talking about each time something new is posted. It is difficult to distinguish because both versions have video game adjacency, doxing, and crazy people at the core.

What's the other one?

DSP is an awful lets player and not a person I'd ever want to hang out with, but if even half that poo poo is true I feel pretty bad for him and anybody who engaged in that harrassment is a real evil piece of poo poo. There's a line between "I don't like the videos this guy makes" and "I'm going to do things to harm this guy's livelihood and his (and his girlfriend's family's) personal safety". What a bunch of assholes. I don't care if they're distancing themselves now, anyone who was part of the group and was aware of all this and didn't report it is absolute garbage.

Nothing has actually come out to connect the SoK to Phil being swatted or whatever that whole wedding bit was. There's still about a 97% chance he bailed on that wedding to play Fallout 4 early for views.

That said, Fred has been outed as an absolute monster who spent the past 2+ years with an obsession and paranoia that's unbelievable.

I'd buy him one, because he could use it after all he's been through.

But I wouldn't drink it with him because he'd take three hours to drink it, with bathroom breaks every ten minutes, and he'd keep complaining about how expensive beer is and how I should be buying him five beers. And maybe he'd sprinkle in some tasteless, unfunny Nazi jokes.

I didn't mean that KF is a reputable source, or that they haven't harassed certain groups to no end. However, until another one comes along that summarizes the info, and unless it's proven false, that KF summary is the best one we've got so far. That's my only point. Agree or disagree with what they do on that forum. If the info is accurate, and there's no other readily available source.....then that's what we've got. That's all I mean. Not defending KF at all with any of that.

Like I stated earlier, KF's reputation is a moot point - everything that is stated in those bullet points has been confirmed by multiple former, and until very recently, current SoK members.

So....does this mean Phil....really wasn't as bad as we though? :ohdear:

No...pretty sure he still falls into the horrible category. But the whole doxxing and swatting bit. Save that poo poo for the pedos like Aatrek. Just because somebody is a less than stellar person in their personal life, doesn't mean they should be doxxed and crazy poo poo like that. Which Phil is a nutso no doubt, and the This is how you don't play can be hilarious when done right, but like everything else you can go overboard. And the fact this Fred fellow was so volatile even with his own people, and had his own initiation program set up to decide the "loyal followers"....that's just batshit insane.

This wasn't even him trying to make an "ironically racist" joke. He just straight up called someone a racial slur on stream because he was upset at them. He also realizes right away that he hosed up when he said it, and then tried to downplay it as a joke.

nobody forced him to do any of the things he did. he could have gone out and done whatever menial job he could get at any point during that entire debacle and come out on the other side not only more mentally healthy (for getting out of the loving house for once in his life) but more financially healthy too (as people likely would have been happy to pledge to someone who is unambiguously a victim).

he chose to be dishonest, manipulative, and caustic. these are personal choices. he could have instead chosen to go find a job at any point. even if he couldn't find one, he could instead bitch about the things he was trying instead of complaining endlessly that people were not giving enough money like a megachurch pastor that wants another lambo. that would have helped him not only appear to be a better person, it would have ACTUALLY HELPED HIM BE A BETTER PERSON because those experiences matter and are real to most of society.

i absolutely hope this fred rear end in a top hat gets the full measure of the law set on him. i hope he goes to actual factual prison because he committed a lot of fraud and did so in an insanely dangerous way in some cases. but where phil is, and what phil does is something phil himself is one hundred percent responsible for. he's an adult, no matter how much he tries to act otherwise.
