DSP's slam dunk with his final Smark Guys collaborator post-PPP and his desperate attempt at a teardown of him doesn't seem to have even registered on the Kino Casino's radar as he doesn't even appear to be on the intinerary for tonight's show.

DSP community isn't that good of a cross-section IMHO (depending on what you're looking for) since it is like 90% males and the topic of interest we all revolve around is one that most sane/productive people turn off of once they've explored it for a little bit. It is also very, very isolated - but maybe you're right that that is a good way to see how larger internet changes impact the discussion here and with detractors (sort of like the historic air samples that people use for scientific stuff because they were collected pre-Chernobyl).
Well you forgot about NGOTI 8) But that's a good point, it is very insular in some ways and you have to be insane to end up here. And yeah, even with that into account there's still a number of platforms with their own subcultures that interact with him and each other.

It's also the case that DSP as a topic can't really be commercialized. Yes, people can profit off of DSP but substantial corporations can't commercialize interest in him and even if they tried it would probably go extremely badly. That's sort of the case for KF and 4chud also - highly interesting spaces and topics but real companies can't engage with them much and their userbases would revolt if they tried to.
It hurts to say that you nailed it. After the dotcom bubble crashed, there was a stigma around the Internet. Couple with the fact that most sysops were now on small teams with little oversight meant that people acted freely. But then the average person, who has no interest in shitposting or weird things, became more interested and commercial interest followed. Now optics suddenly matter because they don't want to lose any customers.

Nowadays everything is commercialized ad naseum, and everything that is popular is fabricated because the platforms themselves have commercial interests. I would argue that this era of the Internet has been experiencing an Eternal September for a while now. It's sad.

It is what has always made Kiwifarms a golden place and given it a quality that few other places can match. I've not really seen many fake/bot accounts here because there is no money to be had and also because they stick out like a sore thumb. There's also the manifestation of ChatGPT and AI shit/slop content hitting everywhere, all at once, from all angles - however the farms has a unique culture whereby most people using it add a disclaimer stating so or once again their content sticks out like a sore thumb (or they actually utilize it very obviously, but do so to make something that is transformative and hopefully funny)

In many ways Kiwifarms is kind of like DarksydePhil in that never changing things and staying true to what you are is a shining quality of its own (in DSP's world, the only credit people ever allow him is for turning up every day and basically staying the same despite his schizophrenic/bipolar claims about changing/not changing all the time)

The best part about the Farms for me is that it exists as a place that no seriously commercial company wants to touch and no seriously commercial company would seek to imitate. Almost every drama YouTuber and commentator very obviously reads here, as do the most prolific internet culture/history writers and thought leaders but few dare to admit it.

And it's stranger still that despite this place being an insane asylum of some sort, there is a stable mindset here when observing things like the Daniel Larson subreddit or the people surrounding worldoftshirts and understanding that it is overkill.

PWR gets a segment, while Phil gets ignored. That probably hurts him more than anything else. You know he's spending his day off watching KC.

Phil was hoping to get under PPP's skin, but as usual, Phil's plans fizzled out. The king snake is FELTED.

They're gonna cover him, but like at the end lmfao. Basically boiled down to PPP laughing at Phil and telling him to get other sektur nobodies.
Phil should get donga. He also like wressle wressle
 
Do you guys think Phil really has depression? Part of thinks he does based on his gin spending and hogan pulls, it's a way for him to cope. I think in the back of his head he knows he's living a nonsensical, miserable experience but spent too much money and energy to change. I do think he legitimately does not enjoy lying to his wife and parents, but he's a scumbag he has to do what he has to do.

Back to the depression bit, I think he lacks the self awareness to see how his behavior indicates said depression. As said earlier his engorging of gin and gambling is a coping mechanism, he also shows signs of self harm with how he treats his relationships. Well, on that note he's a true and true narcissist that only sees things as he put it "what do I get out of it", it's amazing he's gotten to his age without realizing the basics of human interactions.

Anyway this probably all seems pretty autistic to think and write about but I've been following phil for the past 10 years and it's amazing. He's like if a plane crashed into a train causing it to derail into a nuclear reactor next to the water supply of a city.

TLDR: What the fuck is Phil even? How dented is he truly?

I personally don't believe he suffers from depression and even more so believe that it is a self diagnosis. No chance he saw a professional to actually get checked out. I think that he just considers feeling sad as being depressed. I think even last night he said something like "when I had depression" or something like that. Much like alcoholism you don't just beat these things you have to manage them for life. I think DSP is too narcissistic and twisted mentally to really feel bad about things that aren't just "I'm sad John Rambo won't make money for me anymore". or "Pandaree left me so I have to do my own laundry for the first time dis sucks dood.". I don't think he has real empathy for anyone or anything but himself. He loves being a victim.

I'd also say that, while he was always a fucking autistic loser with NPD, he has clearly deteriorated mentally a lot in the last few years. His lack of socialization, seclusion, and increasing paranoia have hurt him severely and I think it'd take institutionalizing him to help him and even then I think his NPD would prevent him from really ever being helped. The DMs he leaked paint a picture of every action he takes is with trolls on the brain. His life is ruled by his trolls(kingcobra would never). He is in a mental spiral that he won't recover from and he'll only get worse as time moves forward. I really look forward to it.

I recall DSP describing his depression in the past and everything he described was just him describing having a conscience. Things like how his head was telling him how he behaved badly and people don't like him and stuff like that. It was really like him describing seeing the reality of how he is viewed. It wasn't depression it was a brief clarity and view into the harsh reality that he is not a chill, positive, and mature adult who is happy.
 
With the recent leak of Keemstar being a sex pest, what are the odds that Phil will be Phil and kick Keemstar while he's down?

Also, hi Phil! Oh wait, that's right. You said that you don't read this site.
Highly unlikely. Phil always says he no longer does drama and only does positive meaningful content. He would rather leave the Internet forever than have to make disgusting content bullying people at their lowest.

At least that's what Phil said and he's the realest motherfucker on the Internet.
 
Phil truly is a bitchmade pigroach, judging by the most recent smark guys. He's on the warpath and he just doesn't care that it makes him look like a desperate liar. Top tier cope to make this toxic drama content just to try and score one on PPP, all so detractors can beat him over the head with it for the next decade.

Every so often, when I think he's exhausted how low he can go, he does something even more insufferable. This is why everyone hates his guts. He's such a nasty retard.

Retarded take (not saying that to insult you) because alcoholism is heavily comorbid with depression. As is social isolation, a habitual and dehabilitating gambling addiction, autism, social anxiety/agoraphobia, paranoia, extreme financial distress, constant high-level anxiety and NPD - and especially when you add having a prolific internet presence that has garnered more haters and constant shitflinging that he has to keep up to not go homeless and literally can't escape from.

You can't have the second paragraph of your post be about how he has mentally deteriorated so severely recently and at the same time pretend like he couldn't possibly be depressed just because your expectations about depression don't align with how DSP presents himself.

There's basically a zero percent chance that DSP doesn't have or suffer from acute depression. Just because he says things a certain way that you or others find inopportune or has said or done things in the past that are insulting to people with depression or him trying to sometimes use it as an excuse for his transgressions doesn't mean he isn't depressed.

I think just about anyone can tell he has been depressed for a very long time. And beyond you and some others doubting this, the bigger elephant in the room is DSP is mostly "blissfully" unaware of it to his own detriment.

I personally know someone who had severe weight, nutrition and health issues for a few years and went to tons of doctors who were all clueless as to the cause until it ended up that he was clinically depressed without even knowing it - once he went to therapy etc his problems went away.

To add to that I have a genetic predisposition to depression and have suffered from it most of my life with at least some commonalities to DSP's situation (very long ago someone asked me on my profile why I found DSP so interesting, and I openly said there were aspects of him that I found to have myself). Without going into detail, there's a world of tools (ignoring medication) that can help a person understand and navigate the disease but given DSP has extensive NPD which is severely shielded by his little hugbox/North Korea/hermit kingdom chat and existence of sycophants (the majority of which are actually just trolls) he'll likely never get help for any of this shit until it is too late (that is if we haven't crossed that boundary already).

Beyond the NPD shit he clearly has very limited ability to engage in introspection and his streams and entire personality seem like he just wakes up every day and doesn't really give a thought to much that has happened - he also severely lacks extrospection because he stays (or is trapped) in his own little world of the DarksydePhil persona. It's hard to know what he really thinks about anything because his streams are completely driven by money and engagement but some part of me believes that he understands this entire thing is a giant shitshow and that owning up to it would mean he somehow had a failing.

I think many people spend their lives towards some sort of goal and have the exact same sunk cost fallacy about it and are in the privacy of their own mind acutely aware of it, but as much as we like to pontificate that DSP is incapable of introspection, those people are capable of it but just don't want to admit failure because admitting failure hurts. So its entirely possible he does actually have some appreciation about all of this, but...

Tangent: How many people do you know who work a dead end job, or put in too much effort at a company that doesn't give a fuck about them, or put years into a relationship with a person who barely reciprocates it? Probably half the people reading this subforum will be that person.

Everyone knows this kind of story because it is all too familiar:
Ferris: Cameron has never been in love - at least, nobody's ever been in love with him. If things don't change for him, he's gonna marry the first girl he lays, and she's gonna treat him like shit, because she will have given him what he has built up in his mind as the end-all, be-all of human existence. She won't respect him, 'cause you can't respect somebody who kisses your ass. It just doesn't work.
Ferris: If anyone needs a day off, it's Cameron. He has a lot of things to sort out before he graduates. Can't be wound up this tight and go to college, his roommate will kill him.
Cameron: [Ferris slowly pulls the Ferrari out of the garage] No! Ferris, forget it! You're just gonna have to think of somethin' else. I'm puttin' my foot down.
[Ferris keeps driving]
Cameron: How bout we rent a nice Cadillac? My treat! We could call a limo! A nice stretch job with a TV and a bar! How 'bout that?
Ferris: [Ferris pulls the car back slightly] Come on! Live a little!
[Cameron crosses himself, walks to the car]
(how many times have you heard DSP say "I'm putting my foot down! this is the last time I'm addressing drama!")
Ferris: I'm so disappointed in Cameron! Twenty bucks says he's in his car right now debating on whether or not to go out.
Cameron: [Cameron's in his car] He'll keep calling me. He'll keep calling me until I come over. He'll make me feel guilty. This is uh... This is ridiculous, ok I'll go, I'll go, I'll go, I'll go, I'll go. What - I'LL GO. Shit.
[Turns the engine on then turns it off and hits the passenger seat]
Cameron: God Damn it!
[Turns the car on and revs it up]
Cameron: Ahhhhhh! Shit!
[Gets out of the car]
Cameron: That's it!
[Paces behind the car and jumps up and down in frustration]
Ferris: Cameron, what have you seen today?
Cameron: Nothing good.
Ferris: Nothing - wha - what do you mean nothing good? We've seen everything good. We've seen the whole city! We went to a museum, we saw priceless works of art! We ate pancreas!
Cameron: As long as I've known him, everything works for him. There's nothing he can't handle. I can't handle anything. School, parents, the future. Ferris can do anything.

How many times does the story actually end in this way:
Cameron: I am not going to sit on my ass as the events that affect me unfold to determine the course of my life. I'm going to take a stand. I'm going to defend it. Right or wrong, I'm going to defend it.
Not very often, because most people are Cameron. DSP is Cameron. DSP is putting his foot down!

If everyone (DSP included) was a Ferris and not a Cameron then everyone would be millionaires with hot girlfriends - and there wouldn't need to be a movie made about it in the first place. And on top of that DSP as a person/story wouldn't exist nor would it be interesting. That's basically the reason why people find DSP so interesting when it comes to effortposting about him - when you ignore the mannerisms and other shit, it's a story about Cameron.
