Why would he use socks like Game Trekker then?
I personally don’t think GT is an OIC sock (there isn’t any direct evidence of this is there?), but honestly I think there are several reasons for him socking:
One is that he just likes pretending to be different people, it’s probably nice for him to be anyone but the person he actually is (can’t really blame him, I wouldn’t wanna be OIC either lol).
I also think it’s likely he wants to drum up speculation and confusion. It both gets detractors guessing and turns every potential DSP supporter into OIC, so in a backwards way gives OIC more “credit” than he would get if he only used his name, as now almost every random supporter COULD be OIC.
It seems to me that OIC also has a strange love-hate relationship with Phil. It may be that OIC gets some satisfaction in gaslighting Phil and feeding his ego, tricking Phil into thinking he has more real supporters than he does. Although I’m not sure how effective or true that is in reality, assuming both that OIC doesn’t outright tell Phil every alias he has, and that OIC is disguising his core payment information so as to not alert Phil that it’s all him when he tips or donates.
It may have been mentioned before, not really sure, but I’m also split on the veracity of Ryan’s claim that he’s actually transitioning. On one hand, it’s really not that crazy to take it at face value, sort of fits the profile already. On the other, OIC being trans was a pet theory of suprcrzy, and I wouldn’t put it past OIC to run with it just as a way to troll crzy specifically.
But the long and short of it is that OIC socks because it gives him even more attention than he would get if he didn’t, and because he’s an insane person.
Also these posts should maybe be moved to the OIC streetshitting thread if there are mods lurking.
