Setting aside the arguable merits of defending Phil, or anyone's right to say certain things, when you work for, or are associated with, a company whose reputation precedes it, you have thereby been adequately warned that some greasy shit is bound to go down. Twitch is one of those companies. I don't condone them being greasy, but since I know about it ahead of time, were I to start streaming there, I would have no business acting all shocked and shaken at them yeeting me at a moment's notice.
This is of course to say nothing of the fact that Phil is the type of person to paint a target on his back and still look surprised when a company with a rep smacks it square in the center. That's a staggering degree of willful obliviousness. Did he think himself immune because he's the right hand of the devil? Even he should know better by now, how many times has he lost a business deal, right or wrong? This is not new territory for Phil. He should be prepared, and he still never is. That's going to elicit laughs at his expense. I don't know how can expect otherwise.
But most importantly, this kind of thing is inevitable, because greasy fucks always exist, whether they be a small-time streamer or the head of a streaming platform, and greasy shit is always going down, whether on a stream or on a streaming platform, and it's only a matter of time before one of the people with grease on them happens to already be greasy. It's not shocking when jackasses like myself laugh at an instance of some greasy fuck getting splattered with grease by some other greasy fuck. It's not like anyone finds Twitch to be their hero here. That site can share a room in hell with DSP for all anyone on the Farms cares. They both suck. That doesn't mean it stops being funny when one of them swipes the other over some arguable bullshit.
I'm a fan of the First Amendment. But that means I'm also a fan of paying attention when an entity doesn't give a fuck about your free speech, and so to me, the folks being clueless and stupid aren't on the Farms, they're on Twitch, practically begging to be the next person to get axed over some bullshit.
