💬 Off-Topic Have you ever told anybody about Phil irl? - ADF edition

[UselessRubberKeyboard]

Yep. One boring rainy afternoon I had a family lol-along which mostly involved "I can't fucking believe he exists" and then reading yet another thread on the Farms to confirm that yes, indeed he does (the photos were particularly popular and caused much laughter).

Phil really is like car crash tv, and evidently my family are a bunch of neonazi transhating fascists just like me.

Roomie is aware thanks to my odd sperging on the topic, and also because we have a fair number of mutual acquaintances who have slid into the transtrender hellhole who we enjoy laughing at.

 

[MMX]

Phil and CWC are both pretty well known at the work place
The IT guys used to have a picture of Tom Girl chris with "atleast your better than him" written on it.
They recently updated it to special helmet phil.

 

[Rollo]

People have talked to me about him

" You hear about this really funny maoist fake trans guy from Portland who goes around claiming every mental illness begging for money? "

usually it starts with a lot of laughs and devolves into a somber quiet where we reflect on how crazy his whole thing is.

 

[Feline Darkmage]

I actually have to keep my younger brother updated on this guy's antics ever since this board went private. He has no access to ADF content other than through me because he's a lurker without an account.

Phil came up in conversation with a friend yesterday. We were discussing the Internet and unwarranted self importance, and I mentioned Toren as an example. My friend looked him up and, upon coming across an actual photo and his description of himself as "cute," laughed like a bastard. "Well," I said, "Toren is pretty good, but his girlfriend goes by the name of Isabel Rosa Araujo..." My friend was engrossed for a good hour.

I've shown Phil to my mother more as a statement of, "Wow look where the fuck I could be,but I'm not insane and actually doing shit for myself." To which she finds Phil intriguing and actually occasionally asks for updates.

 

[admiral]

Nah. Phil's not as funny as Chris, who I could feasibly see as being interesting to an outside observer. Phil's just unpleasant, and he's not even unique. You can look at any sonichu comic and think 'yeah that's pretty funny' even without context, but Phil's only funny within the context of his past and all the lies he's told. I mean if I didn't know him and heard about this 'homeless lantinx transwoman' I'd just assume that he was another schizo beggar and be mildly depressed/disgusted.

 

[Lefty's Revenge]

I've had enough people look at me like I'm retarded for trying to explain Chris. I didn't even attempt with Phil.

 

[TheUltimatePickle]

I have one IRL friend who was part of the original inner circle of Phil trolling years when he was first discovered, he's a kiwi farmer but he barely logs on anymore and I don't think his account even has access to the Phil Phorum.

He actually told me about Phil (and the kiwi farms) IRL when I told him about this retard named "Chris Chan" that I had found online

You have to be a special kind of weirdo to appreciate Phil though.

I've showed my brother a few lolcows and he's fascinated by Aaron McCluske but he finds Phil horrifying. Same with my girlfriend, she was a /b/tard and followed some proto-cows before kiwi farms was even a thing but she is just disturbed by Phil and doesn't find him funny or interesting

 

[NobleGreyHorse]

Mr. Horse sees me browsing the Farms now and then, and when Phil is on the screen, I just say, "Remember the hairy Italian guy who insists he's a beautiful Latina princess?" Mr. Horse is mostly horrified by Phil's tattoos -- aesthetically, placement, you name it.

 

[WeaponsGradeAutism]

My girlfriend followed Phil during his ADL days with ED. And she asked me if I heard of him. I let her see my stuff on here.

She looked at my forum name and went, "You're an ass."

And then she saw current Phil. "Just when I thought he couldn't get any more ugly or more of a faggot."

 

[Zeorus]

The only person I've ever mentioned KF to in any detail is my wife, who has very little interest in the whole thing. I've mentioned Phil to her before and was met with the same disgust and contempt you'd expect of any sane person.

 

[Keerakh]

I only told my friend who knows about chris

 

[Dr. Boe Jangles Esq.]

How the fuck would I have that conversation at this point?

"Cherished friends, I'd like to take a moment out of our usual pastime of arguing about superheroes and grindhouse movies to discuss a person of great interest to a group of internet voyeurs I hang with online.
We'll begin by discussing the many pictures of his sagging ballsack and- wait, where are you going? Come back!"

Admitting you go to kiwi farms is really only something you do to friends who have the same interest in the virtual freakshow as you do

And Phil is one of the hardest to really work up to. He's a bit of a special interest- with CWC, a lot of people know of him, and you can show funny videos. With others, there's videos where they do dumb things, or twitter you can point to and say why you find it interesting

I don't think most people are going to want to say "Yeah I read about this retarded guy who hit his mother, is pretending to be a latina lesbian, and really only posts on his facebook and tumblr"

You don't think the life of Phil is Troma-esque enough?

I joined this subforum because someone told me about Phil in real life. actually about iruvayel or.. whether his name was when he was in Portland.

a tattoo artist I know got ripped off by him: they did the tattoo, (a bolt? bike chain? a boring black silhouette tattoo I'm not certain what). when they finished, dude didn't have cash. the artist didn't take credit cards at that time, so Phil claimed he was going to an ATM, and never returned to pay. he left behind an old ID as 'collateral' but never came back. the artist (a good friend, but not the smartest) realized that the ID was a PA one and expired. and not the same name as on the release form.

this was posted as a warning in a private group for professional tattoo artists; there's a red flag for this guy in many of the better shops due to this (he'll get politely turned down and given other reasons like busy schedule or inability to do the tattoo etc), but it's because his ID, description and new (at that time) name were posted in that group.

I passed along the new name to that original artist so they could keep it updated on their blacklist. As soon as I realized this forum was here I felt I had to kick in my little bit of information. The artist worked at a shop that has two locations, at that time he was commuting to both. It's a sort of feminist/lefty tattoo place, the artists are good there so it's sad to know one was ripped off.

at that time the tattooer had a warrant on him and so, didn't want to call the police for theft of services. posting to the private warning group was his best recourse.

Is it possible to have a screenshot of that private tattoo forum? You can censor all sensitive info.

I messaged the artist that told the story, once I hear from them I'll go ahead and do that or not based on their say-so. I don't want to end up sending some screaming, stench idiot to their workspace to bother them if Phil can figure out who it is from the more detailed version. (I feel like he's probably ripped off more than one tattooer the same way, so the vague version isn't quite as easy to pin down to who the artist is)
