Random question, do people actually look up to Dick as a sort of role model or something? I've enjoyed his content from time to time and generally find him entertaining but I always thought he seemed like someone you wouldn't want to behave like. The whole thing seemed like an exaggerated character to me when I first discovered him, do people genuinely look up to a caricature like that?
Would I want my daughter dating him? No.
Would I have a drink with him? Absolutely.
Would I take life advice from him? NO.
Considering the fact that PPP has a connection with the God of the Old Testament and possesses a Gunt of Gunts, does this mean that Surfer only feeds him to appease the Molochian deity which lies within? Demanding a food sacrifice with the hunger of a volcano demon for the foreskins of 1000 philistines? The kurukshetra war of gunterdammerung looms closer by the day. We must keep Cooking with Surfer alive to suppress the wrath of Gunthulu.This comparison has probably been made before, but has anyone considered that the gunt is actually Ralph, and Ethan's body is just so he can try to fit into human society?

If you listen to the emails on the show and some of the people who call in, they absolutely do. I'm willing to bet everyone who is apart of the "virgin contest" treats Dick like a life coach of sorts.

On so many levels, I'm glad to not be a millennial/gen-z.
Sure, happens with a lot of e-celebs. Their fans start thinking of them as the coolest friend around (most of these livestreams they do are friend simulators after all) and they feel personally attacked if you point out that the e-celeb looks exceptional or wrong about anything. It builds up the e-celeb's ego all the more and making them look even more exceptional as they start to think everything they do is gold.
Parasocial relationships have probably done a ton of damage to people who have grown up in the age of e-celebrity. I wonder what the world must look like to someone who is just becoming an adult and has had their formative years shaped by worshiping a Lets Player and grew an emotional attachment to them. Maybe those are the people still giving Spoony money on patreon.
It is kind of sad, people substituting actual human interaction for virtual. I'll admit I'm doing it right now due to COVID restrictions but growing up where your entire social support structure is virtual and not grounded in your physical reality can't be good for a person's grasp of reality or their long term mental health. Its why I dont do Facebook, or Instagram, because there is what a person is presenting on the page and then there is the reality of who you actually know them to be. Add in them doing everything they can to fit the image on the webpage and it becomes depressing and pathetic. These virtual relationships, and your virtual image, are the no eye contact dry handjob of social interaction.Parasocial relationships have probably done a ton of damage to people who have grown up in the age of e-celebrity.

Which is weird because he doesn't hide that fact. Do these people really have no male presence in their lives so they resort to asking Dick who tells them to fake their death in France to get rid of an unwanted girlfriend? Don't get me wrong, it's very entertaining, but I just don't understand who these people are.His "advice" is as often as not pure shitposting. Anyone who takes it is a moron.

As an aside, it's funny to think about how if someone like mainstay TRR guest Mark Collett were asked to comment on this, he would decry it as a horrible example of what modernity has done to society. You wouldn't even have to venture into race and nationalism territory for this one.
believe it or not, try hard cringe shit like this is actually some of the less autistic shit that has come from the fan base recently.PPP has been doing this for years with like 300 views per video. You're still acting really gay about this.
Erik Wong, the Dick-rider who has beef with Dame just dropped what I'm sure is a gay autistic cope in the tdsfbg.

As a fan of TDS, the reason why Dick succeeded in the break up of TBPITU, is because he spoke about what everyone else was talking about. The break up. He is a great storyteller. He got us hooked looking forward to the next episode. The show hit its absolute pinnacle with the lolsuit. A cast of characters that branched out, musicians that had some great hits. Every episode was an absolute banger.Dick's fanbase is hard to pin down because they started as two factions who were dropped into his lap at roughly the same time due to the serendipitous start of The Dick Show during the downfall of Maddox and uprising of MAGA, which beefed up his Patreon because TDS was one of the few MAGA podcasts out there (even though he disavowed trump in the podcast right before the election). He nailed it with his fresh & funny pseudo-redpilled takes thereafter, and rode the wave perfectly up through the lolsuit.
I can't be bothered to analyze what happened to get him from there to here right now, but I will say he would have failed a thousand times over without his childhood friend THCean the audio engineer. The most memorable moments of TDS are Dax and Xwing reminiscing on their glory days. It's the same formula PPP and Surfer use for their best streams.
