I'm laughing at all the cringe-worthy tattoos, but I can't decide if his yard helmet makes him look more like Dark Helmet or
Michael Dukakis. Either way he looks like an idiot.
More like Antifa Supersized Soldiers.
He really puts the "special" in special forces.
I like the flaming dildo and the can of Pepsi... and is that a turd? So anti-establishment!
I just assumed it was a reference to the infamous
Kendall Jenner antifa Pepsi commercial, because Phil would be the one human being on earth who viewed that cynical corporate attempt to cash in on pop culture as "edgy" and "subverise."
Like you said, hes the ultimate consumer whore. He believes anything the advertising tells him. If Pepsi says they are anti-establishment and use protestors in ads, Phil will literally believe they are endorsed by Antifa. Really I'm amazed we haven't been able to trick Phil into thinking we're some sort of leftist rebel organization just by claiming we are and putting up some random Spanish and bicycle related crap. LOL.
what a feminine 5 '0' clock shadow this woman has
Heh, I have a theory that a lot of these troops are so caught up in the idea that "gender is a social construct" that they try hard to look as unfeminine as humanly possible, because the best way to say "I'm a beautiful womyn" is to look like a hideous river troll someone slapped a dress on, and if you don't want to sleep with him well you're just a transmisogynist pig!
Of course in Phil's case its probably just because hes too fat and lazy to do anything other than shit himself.
I'm fairly certain he got the teardrop not because he knew the significance of it, but because he saw someone in nerd culture media and wanted to copy it. My best guess is Isabel "Dizzy" Cordova from Vertigo's "100 Bullets"; latina gangbanger from Issue #1 that ends up getting recruited into a training game that eventually conditions her into joining the super-assassin attack dog squad for the lefty Illuminati basically. Kind of fits the headcanon he's trying to broadcast too, cutting off his dick, claiming latinx heritage, getting tatted to match his favorite character, matching name, orbiting violent group affiliation.
Watch out for braids/weave next
Eh, Phil's not much of a reader (he literally has trouble comprehending most things), and 100 Bullets isn't mainstream enough for him to be aware of. Hell he seems to view comics as "too immature" which is kind of funny considering hes obsessed with Star Wars and Naruto. Hell his whole protestor persona is just one long stretch of angsty teenage rebellion that's somehow lasted into his 30s.
Most likely hes seen the tear drop tattoos in pop culture and somehow glommed onto that as yet another defining trait of Latino identity, along with sombreros, eagles, roses, Catholicism, tequila, badly translated Spanish, calacas, maps of Mexico... basically his entire perception of Latinos comes from American pop culture stereotypes about Mexicans hes somehow latched onto. It's actually pretty sad. I'm half surprised he doesn't hang out at Home Depot pretending to be a day laborer yet...
