I’ve talked about it in the chat and I’d hope detractors will have picked it up for the highlights but today’s prestream has reached new lows.
Trying to weaponise the fact YouTube pays him on a certain day of the month, which happens to fall on Sunday this month means he has to wait 1-3 days before he receives the payment. As if this is the viewers problem, and they need to tip for this gap in payment. It’s incredible he can do this with a straight face, he’s so detached from the reality that normal people get paid once a month and spread that out over the entire month.
The worst part: that is NOT a new low for him. He has already blown out the scale for "implying shit he knows isn't happening and plans to retcon ever implying it." Even if we didn't have such hits as "My parents might not live much longer", or "Jasper is sick", we would still have the time he acted like he wasn't getting his lack Twitch check, pretended his mortgage payment might not be covered, and a previous claim of a late payment from YT, wherein he implied (not for the first OR last time) that it meant him, Kat, and Jasper starving.
Oh, and that's to say nothing of the fact that all this bullshit was so he could extract tips to WASTE ON WRESTLING JPEGS.
The fact that Phil still has the nerve to speak about other people being "modern dumb gamers" after there was that presentation from some game designers showing his gameplay of God of war as the prime example of a dumb gamer is dumbfounding.
Phil never ceases to amaze me when it comes to his lack of self-awareness. Professional game developers literally used him as an example of how dumb modern gamers are and how they have to add things to guide those dumb gamers. And he still acts as if he's above them.
Lack of conscience, you mean. Phil knows damn well when he's being a hypocrite, contradicting himself, or lying his ass off. Don't believe me? Remember the times he has fallen asleep on camera and lied about it right afterward, as if the camera was off? Or how about the day he lost his Twitch partnership, and somehow knew to check his email? If he had been incorrect about his suspicion, he had no intention of telling anybody what he was doing on his phone just then. We know this because literally every time something had failed to go as viral as The Incident and the racist/sexist comments did, Phil has acted like they never happened.
FFS, he even did it with the lie he told both his audience and his mother about having a ten year plan. Bullshit he concocted in order to extract money, from his own mother, as if she's a paypig just like the ones he "entertains" six days a week. By saying there is no ten year plan, he admits that he lied to her, and he clearly feels no remorse over it.
Phil isn't oblivious, he's a self-serving devious fucking cunt who would be right at home in Congress if he wasn't too lazy.
