If you want someone who plays a bunch of horror games but doesn't constantly mug for the camera and scream, the artist formerly known as HarshlyCritical John Wolfe is a cool dude.

Yeah let's be honest, unless you actually work for the website, only an idiot would rely on YouTube for their livelihood. This is just natural selection.

Not in the same way - now they make fun of other types of stuff or longplays of weird games, as too many people were harassing the original video posters beyond just pointing out that they were RP'd.

There were a couple where they tried to hide the original creator and stuff too so they could just riff on the video, but people's lust for playing internet rear end in a top hat detective found those out as well and that's about where it seemed like they stopped those entirely.

Actually, they did buy a 240 dollar ring (better than 40 but still...) from Etsy, but Phil's proposal technique definitely needs work:



I think the ring you're thinking of was the one she was wearing last year cause she needed to "fake it".



As stupid as he is in every other opinion, I mean he's at least not wrong about expensive rings being dumb crap. Just buy someone a nice ring with their birthstone or something if you really want jewels, spending like thousands of dollars on boring diamonds and white gold and whatever else IS for chumps.

I'd imagine because it's just not as "fun" as the ones that get made about DSP. DSP you get the chance of him saying racist poo poo, blaming random people if he knows the names of anyone from X or Y group that made the game, blaming the game when it's really blatantly his own poor actions, accusing people of cheating online, finding ways to blunder into failing objectives in games that people didn't even realize you could, making GBS threads on the people who have or do support him, saying insanely ironic things coming from him, all that good stuff.

Meanwhile Arin's just really bad at games sometimes.

Why feel sympathy for someone who takes their pain and suffering to the top of a clock tower with their trusty scoped rifle.

Because transpeople suffering breakdowns are more likely to be going to the top of that tower to jump off you shithead.

They're a giant idiot for their takedowns and all of that, but nobody, especially not the current trendy to hate minority, deserves the massive downpour of vomit they're guaranteed to be getting drowned with.

And just to clarify ahead of time, I dunno how you've gotten that I think it ONLY matters or something because they're trans Cheez, but I said exactly the opposite of that already and have mostly just been trying to point out that no, this isn't "gets attacked in the same fashion on any subject" because more and more readily as of late, the internet's shown it wants to be as awful as humanly possible to very much transpeople in specific. What better opportunity to flex that than to all pile into the wagon on someone it's been 'legitimized' to hate recently and hide among already huge waves of criticism.

Ok, I'm probably making a massive misunderstanding somewhere here because I was thinking people were trying to say that they shouldn't consider legal action

It sums him up so well in 2 minutes.

TL DR: He wins the 1st rounds and poo poo talks his opponent on how terrible he is. His opponent then double perfects Phil.
Phil of course then, calls him a cheater.

Phil is a solid mediocre player. He's not entirely bottom of the barrel trash even though he consistently has the attitude like it, but any time I've seen him on fighting games he's playing characters that are really standard (Shotos) or brainless (MKX Scorpion) and he's never doing anything special with them, just going about it like any other flowchart player, so anyone really competent consistently uses him like a dishrag.

Also in the case of questionable slurs, I'm still thrown by MrKravin's want to go with the 'Big Greasy Queer' moniker. It still seems to lose it's empowering qualities if a group tries to take back a possibly hateful word if it's accompanied by two other negative adjectives, like if I made a shirt that said 'Fat Smelly Homo'.

It's not something they use like a catchphrase or intro/outro gimmick or anything, it's pretty much just something that came from a "lol do you think that's an insult for me" type of thing, so they slapped it on a shirt for laughs, because he is in fact a pudgy, sometimes disorderly gay dude. :v:
