I have no idea TBH. I was thinking maybe the OP hit the character limit, but you would still be able to edit. I was able to edit your post and I pressed some buttons to see if it would resolve the issue. If you still can't edit, let me know and I can ask Null to take a look,
It seems i can edit the OP
But i can't edit page 2
So in case i need to make some additions, i have a feeling i will have to ask you to handle that lol
Detractor: Something I think people newer to Phil can miss is that 'Detractor' is Phil's word. Going back to like 2009, 2010, 2011 Phil was already calling anyone slightly critical of him "my detractors", dismissing that criticism with phrases like "they talk like one of my detractors.
Like with many things with Phil the genesis of this shadowy group out to get him called "my detractors" is his own mentally ill narcissistic mind."
To illustrate this, think back to you life before you knew about DSP and had the word normalized, and imagine you saw a guy walking down the street being an asshole to everyone he passes by and he stumbles and drops his coffee. You then laugh at him and say, "Your shoes are untied you moron. This idiot doesn't know how to tie his own shoes." This stranger turns to you, his eyes boiling with rage, and says, "You sound like one of My Detractors !" That's Phil. He's that grandiose about himself, and always has been. He's always been someone who would unironically tell you, "I'm a pretty big deal."

It's also literally the same shit cults and MLM's do to their followers by "othering" those that would point out how full of shit the system and leaders are great example in the MLM field is Herbalife who have whole yellow pages sized manuals about deflecting and damage control for this sort of thing and on the cult side you have the famous Scientology term of SP or suppressive-person.

Once these are done i will ask Pepper Jack to add them to Page 2 since I can't edit it anymore unfortunately...
Angry Crow is a username from Tevins chat. He's been copied a few times but I remember him from the "back in time" era videos. All he would do is type "CAW" and chat would repeat it. I remember getting pissed because it would happen several times during a stream and just seemed really retarded.
As far as I know it's not a reference to Phil or a playthrough he did.
Philbert sounds like something John Rambo would have called him. I can't remember that one in particular but he would use variations like "Philium".
There was also a few troll tippers who used a variation of "Philbert"
Here are some old Phail things I remember that he doesn't do anymore:
KOCC video: Short for KOGaming Community Creations. They were pretty much dent-made TIHYDPs and it was Phail's painfully late and painfully lame attempt at counteracting TIHYDPs while capitalizing on them himself. As you may imagine, detractors quickly started calling them "cock videos." KOCC was also extremely short-lived, I think only 2 dent-made TIHYDPs were made (one of a Resident Evil game, I think 4, and one of Dark Souls 1). Of course, Phail also made sure that these dent-made TIYHDPs wouldn't just show the rage and Phail's incompetence at gaming, but the "epic wins" as well.
Patron's Choice/"Executive Decision": Back in the day Phail would allow his dents on Patreon to nominate and then vote on the next playthrough he'd do. At first the rules on which games could be nominated were reasonable enough but as time went on the rules became increasingly byzantine and hyperspecific until he went as far as banning some games from being nominated by name (such as Code Vein) and the only games the dents could effectively nominate were baby-mode easy games. The term "executive decision" is closely linked to Patron's Choice because that's the term he'd use to use his own vote as a tiebreaker between two games with the same amount of votes, until it devolved into him just picking the game he wanted to play and ignoring the votes entirely, saying that most of them were "fraudulent votes" cast by detractors anyway.

Nice i had forgotten about these lol
Make sure to tag @Pepper Jack so he can edit your entries on Page 2 when you contribute.
Go bro, bold the names and add these entries to page 2 hehe
Black shirt (beg): the coincidence or pattern of Phil wearing a black shirt when he prepares to due a segment where he either lambasts the dents for not tipping enough or when some sort of crisis comes up that can be resolved with a couple hundred dollars.
Vest Streak: One of Phil's tactics to get people to tip him money on Twitch and YouTube was *drumroll* to put on more clothes. Yes, he used to be a reverse camgirl, if he would hit the donation goals on his stream, he would reward the dents by putting on various colorful vests, hats and other ridiculous looking clothes. He started this grift roughly during 2018 and 2019, and it proved to be quite successful for him. At first, thanks to the Vest Streak he would make thousands of dent bucks.
The Vest Streak eventually died because both the dents and Phil kinda got tired of it. The dents were not able to keep up with Phil increasingly absurb high goals to keep the vest on, meanwhile Phil would start finding excuses to not put the vests and hats on, like blaming the hot weather or saying he needs to be focused while getting his ass kicked in Street Fighter, every excuse under the sun to not do the bare minimum he needed to keep the grift going.
Bubble Blowing: Another one of the "prizes" he used to do for hitting goals on his stream. He would... blow bubbles on camera. Wow, his streams already had the reputation of being an asylum for retards, this definitely did not help him beat the allegations!
Musicbox: Phil, being too lazy to add custom sounds in OBS for the longest time, used to buy cheap music boxes and play little tunes whenever he would hit a goal or something special happened.
Spinning Chair: Another tactic to hit goals. He would spin in his gamer chair. Frankly I think even two year old kids would struggle to find this entertaining.
Clown Mode: Detractors use this term to describe Phil when he's happy, usually for either of two reasons: 1) he's making a lot of easy money out of the dents 2) he thinks he's gonna get rewarded with a new audience of whales soon.
When one of these two things happens, Phil starts clown mode, AKA he starts acting like an insufferable clown, laughing constantly at his own jokes and looking like an absolute moron. This is in stark contrast to streams when he's making almost no money, he looks miserable, barely talks and his eyes look like the eyes of someone that has been sentenced to the electric chair.
Sometimes he also goes into this mode when he plays a game with gambling elements, you can see his eyes light up with happiness, no wonder he got addicted to WWE Champions.
PuritanSydePhil: This mode is kinda the opposite of Clown Mode, he goes into this mode usually when he's exposed to a new audience, either by being propped by another streamer or when he's playing a newly released game. In this mode, Phil tries his best to be the most perfect version of himself. No crude jokes, no burps or snorts, no asking for money or begging, he literally becomes a normal streamer. Usually what happens is that he gets a few new dents out of this, since then the dents say "See? He's not that bad, he's a good guy!"
Then a day later the mask slips, Phil starts being his usual self, begging for money every 5 seconds and treating the dents like shit, and he loses those few dents he gained. Detractors consider this mode to be incredibly boring to watch.
"Hello, sir!": This mode is reserved for when Phil is scared, usually when faced with a discussion with another streamer that has more clout than him, or another streamer that is known for being very aggressive. He starts being very submissive, meek and cowardly. You know he's being fake as fuck, and it shows how much of a pussy Phil is.
One famous instance of this was during the Sidescrollers interview, he was shittalking Keemstar constantly, then Craig sneakily invited Keemstar over, and Phil got scared and immediately started sucking Keemstar off.
Muscular Men: Phil used to constantly do crass jokes every time there was a sexy woman on screen, but after getting married to Kat, this stopped. People theorize he's really afraid of Kat getting angry with him, showing how much of a doormat he is. Ever since that happened, he now instead starts doing gay jokes every time a naked muscular man is on screen. This made the detractors theorize that Phil is secretly craving dick and Kat is just his beard. The allegations are not helped by Phil eyes lighting up everytime he sees a naked man on screen, going clown mode. And also by Phil listening to every one of Low Tier God suggestions instantly while he dismisses everyone else's.
Scat Humor: Phil has always had a fascination with scat humor. He uses these jokes constantly these days because he's too afraid to use his old sexist or racist jokes now that cancel culture is a thing.
Headset/Combing-induced Baldness: Phil has a noticeably receding hairline and also some thinning in his crown area. Usually very apparent when he turns around, lowers his head or some light shines on his scalp. People meme about this because 1) Phil is very defensive about his hair, saying he has perfect hair with no balding, even dying his hair pitch black to appear younger 2) One time, to defend himself from the detractors, Phil blamed his headset for causing him to lose hair, saying it was too tight. And another time he instead blamed his mother, saying she combed his hair too harshly. Nothing he could, it's not his fault dood!
This is obviously bullshit, male pattern baldness is 90% caused by hormones, and no one ever lost hair because of combing or headsets.
The Goutee: Detractors name for Phil beard style. Phil has always had a goatee, however his general unhealthy lifestyle caused his goatee to actually lose density and become thinner over the years, causing a very weird looking goatee with a moustache that is only connected to the chin hair on one side. The goatee is also the only hair that Phil does not dye, resulting in a weird look where his hair is pitch black meanwhile his beard is a mishmash of grey and black hair.
Toe Walking: One time Phil admitted on stream that he walks on his toes most of the time. Further research by the detractors showed that this behaviour is common amongst autistic men, so detractors theorize of him being on the spectrum even though he was never formally diagnosed.
The Holy Schedule: Another sign of autism is Phil's weird fixation with schedules, Phil will make a schedule for literally every action in his life, planning everything, and he WILL never deviate from the schedule even if it results in him losing thousands of dollars. Example: his schedule says he will play a shitty game on Tuesday, but a massive triple A game releases on Tuesday too, a normal streamer would ditch the shitty game and rake in the day one views from the triple A game, well ... not Phil!
Keemstar also said that working with Phil is insanely annoying because you need to mail him months in advance so he can fit you in his schedule.
One time he famously ditched Pandalee when she went to a wedding because he needed to play a Fallout game day one according to the schedule.
Bizzarre Eating Methods: Watching any of Phil's eating videos will make you notice how weird he eats food, looking like an alien. Detractors theorize that Phil's teeth are half rotten because of years of alcohol and fast food abuse, so eating normally hurts him.
Empty Boxes Giveaways: Back in the day, Phil used to do game giveaways when he was more popular. Dents would be very shocked to receive a Darksydephil-signed game cover with... no game inside. When confronted about it, Phil would say he traded the games in immediately after finishing them, to buy other games to make more videos.
So yes, Phil was so greedy, he would rather get 5-10 bucks back from GameStop trade-ins, than actually give the dents something worthwhile.
This was one of the first actions that garnered Phil a lot of hate, and kick started his lolcow status.
The Unboxing Video: One of Phil's most infamous moments was, when doing unboxing videos was popular, he did an unboxing video of Final Fantasy 13: Lighting Returns. During the video, his fire alarm went off for no reason, apparently because it was defective. Because of this, Phil spent like half an hour yapping about it and he forgot to do the unboxing. He still uploaded the video though, because he still put in effort and he wants HIS MONEY NOW!
This video earned him the mockery of half the internet, with a lot of YouTubers doing parodies of the Un-Unboxing video.
Phil later admitted that instead of fixing his fire alarm issue, he just plugged off the fire alarm, which was an irresponsable move that put both himself and all his neighbors at risk.
The Shower Videos: During one of his DSP Tries It videos, Phil thought it would be a good idea to do a video showcasing himself trying out the new Axe Bodyshower product... Yes he did a video of himself having a shower. If you like having eyes, please don't watch this video, no one knows why Phil thought people wanted to see a fat hairy man take a shower.
Years later, he did a remake of the video, except this time trying out the Selsun Blue body shower product.
Pandalee's Tits: Not to be confused with the user with the same name on the farms, one time Phil was showing his desktop on stream, when he accidentally clicked on a folder that contained some... private pictures.
Apparently, Pandalee had sent Phil a picture of her boobies, Phil did not open the picture however the thumbnail of the picture was visible, so everyone in the world saw it.
It's extremely low quality but it's still absolutely hilarious.
Hoarding/House Tours: Years ago, Phil would do house tour VLOGS of his place. Thanks to these videos, his detractors discovered that Phil is a massive hoarder, collecting tons of useless shit like game statuettes, his house being full of boxes and some rooms of his house being literally unusable because of them being too cluttered. He also has a lot of appliances that don't work in his house, like a broken shower, that he does not fix because it would impact his Hogan Pulls, i guess.
His "office" is also so messy with so many plugs and cords, that it's a miracle that a fire has not started yet. His house is a goddamn fire hazard, and let's remember he probably does not fix his fire alarm either.
Closet Cleaning Streams: Another grift Phil would do is reward his dents for the goals by allowing them to watch him... clean his closet. I dunno why he thinks people would find this entertaining, the dents brain is truly a mystery of life.
Fitness: During 2025-2026, Phil started pretending he became a health guru. He would talk constantly about working out, being healthy and fit, muscular and giving advice to people on how to lose weight.
He would flex his arms on camera constantly, using a camera trick to make his arms look bigger than they really are. Anyone with a working set of eyes could see he did not gain any muscles, his arms were still noodle arms. However, he did lose a bunch of weight, suspiciously after LowTierGod told him he was fat...
This started the speculation of...
Ozempic: One day, Phil suspiciously took a week off from streaming, without saying anything and once he returned he never really explained what he did. This led to a lot of speculation, including detractors theorizing of one of his parents passing away, which a quick obituary search refuted immediately, and another popular theory was about Phil incurring some health problems, and having to see a doctor for something like high blood pressure or more probably, diabetes.
Detractors, seeing Phil lose a bunch of weight, and knowing that the guy that is addicted to gacha does not even know what the word "discipline" is, started theorizing that Phil is taking Ozempic, a diabetes drug that also causes weight loss, for health reasons. Common points in favour of this theory also outline how Phil is also losing fat on his neck and face, a common sign of Ozempic abuse.
Moobs/Tits: Phil, because of his years of being fat and probably low testosterone, suffers from a high amount of fat in his chest, also known as gynecomastia, making his pecs look almost like woman breasts. Phil is very insecure about this, sometimes wearing shirts that hide this fact, and Phil sometimes pretends that those are his pecs because he's a wannabe muscular guy.
Detractors theorize he might wear a muscle bra sometimes to hide his moobs better.
Pushups: One time, Phil scammed the dents by making them donate money in exchange for him doing a challenge: him doing an insane amount of pushups in a very short amount of time, something even a world record athlete would find insanely difficult.
What Phil did: He moved off-camera, made some groaning noises, pretending to be struggling, and then came back and said "Done!"
When confronted about it, he said he could not move his camera because of his setup. Thanks for the money suckers!
Bounties: A very short lived grift to bait money, Phil would request money and in exchange he would do some challenge live on stream, like getting a certain Kill to Death ratio in a single Call of Duty match, or winning a set of matches in Street Fighter. This grift did not last long because trolls would get Phil to do very difficult tasks, so Phil would eventually get annoyed getting his ass kicked since he sucks at the games he plays, acting like a toddler and eventually stopping pursuing the bounty.
He would also pout like a woman when the money did not roll in after doing a bounty, sometimes even requesting double the money if a task was deemed to stressful for him.
Woodland Critters:
In one of the leaked DM's with the Kino Casino, Phil said that when he and Kat go on walks, they feed the "Woodland Critters".
Detractors were baffled by this statement, what does he mean?
Either:
1) Phil has got more animals than just Jasper, which many detractors have long speculated since sometimes you can hear weird noises during his streams but he tries to hide it because it would go against his condo HOA board of regulations, he knows detractors would report him immediately.
2) There are some stray dogs / cats near his house and he feeds them. (Press X to doubt, Phil is way too egotistical to do something like this)
3) He literally leaves food around for squirrels and whatever animal might be around his house.
4) Or Phil has gone completely bonkers and now he thinks he's re-enacting the scene from Snow White.
The DM's with PPP were full of lies (including Phil lying about Kat having cancer!), according to Phil, so who knows?
Detractor: Something I think people newer to Phil can miss is that "Detractor" is Phil's word. Going back to like 2009, 2010, 2011 Phil was already calling anyone slightly critical of him "my detractors", dismissing that criticism with phrases like "they talk like one of my detractors."
Like with many things with Phil the genesis of this shadowy group out to get him called "my detractors" is his own mentally ill "narcissistic mind."
To illustrate this, think back to you life before you knew about DSP and had the word normalized, and imagine you saw a guy walking down the street being an asshole to everyone he passes by and he stumbles and drops his coffee. You then laugh at him and say, "Your shoes are untied you moron. This idiot doesn't know how to tie his own shoes." This stranger turns to you, his eyes boiling with rage, and says, "You sound like one of my Detractors !" That's Phil. He's that grandiose about himself, and always has been. He's always been someone who would unironically tell you, "I'm a pretty big deal."
It's also literally the same shit cults and MLM's do to their followers by "othering" those that would point out how full of shit the system and leaders are great example in the MLM field is Herbalife who have whole yellow pages sized manuals about deflecting and damage control for this sort of thing and on the cult side you have the famous Scientology term of SP or suppressive-person.
DSPCultLeader: DSPCultLeader might have been one of the first detractor channels on YouTube. The owner of this channel made clips on YouTube highlighting all of Phil lies and how Phil cultivated a cult like mentality with his dents, with his "you are either with me or with my detractors" mentality. This channel has been inactive for almost 15 years, but it shows that even back then, during the glory days, people were growing wise to Phil's grift.
KOCC Video: Short for KOGaming Community Creations. They were pretty much dent-made TIHYDPs and it was Phail's painfully late and painfully lame attempt at counteracting TIHYDPs while capitalizing on them himself. As you may imagine, detractors quickly started calling them "cock videos." KOCC was also extremely short-lived, I think only 2 dent-made TIHYDPs were made (one of a Resident Evil game, I think 4, and one of Dark Souls 1). Of course, Phail also made sure that these dent-made TIYHDPs wouldn't just show the rage and Phail's incompetence at gaming, but the "epic wins" as well.
Patron's Choice/"Executive Decision": Back in the day Phail would allow his dents on Patreon to nominate and then vote on the next playthrough he'd do. At first the rules on which games could be nominated were reasonable enough but as time went on the rules became increasingly byzantine and hyperspecific until he went as far as banning some games from being nominated by name (such as Code Vein) and the only games the dents could effectively nominate were baby-mode easy games. The term "executive decision" is closely linked to Patron's Choice because that's the term he'd use to use his own vote as a tiebreaker between two games with the same amount of votes, until it devolved into him just picking the game he wanted to play and ignoring the votes entirely, saying that most of them were "fraudulent votes" cast by detractors anyway.
The Naming Grift: When Phil plays any game that allows you to name an animal or pet, like Minecraft or Pokèmon, he will allow the dents to pay 20 or so bucks in order to choose the name of the creature. How convenient!
Somehow this works everytime, and he makes tons of money with this grift. Once again proving his audience is just full of mouth droolers.

I think I covered mostly everything that is important to know, at least all the important bases. So I think I will stop for now and wait for new developments before creating a new Lore page.
I caved in and just made a new page for the final few entries. I think I will stop here for now, all the important bases are covered anyway. I will wait for more developments before adding more Lore.
Suggestion: you should create a second thread for all the approved entries and have it locked for only you to edit so entire swathes of entries don't lost amongst all these posts.

Poorly Cooking with the King:
He started the series roughly in 2009 when he downloaded a Mass Effect DLC and he claimed that a lot of people asked him for it. The now infamous first episode saw him cook two Bacon-Egg and cheese sandwiches which produced several highlights at once:
1. Spraying the frying pan with oil stating "I don't have time to melt butter, I am a gamer"
2. Dropping a slice of toast on the floor, picking it up and putting it back on the plate
3. Dumping the bacon grease into the toilet
4. Using pre-sliced butter because he didn't have time to slice it, he's a gamer
5. Throwing out ~half a pound of ground beef because he either didn't know how, or couldn't be bothered, to store the opened package properly.
It's maybe worth mentioning here that the Discord account Phil was using to play WWE Champions changed its name from TheyCallMeDSP to DownFromTheRafters during this name change. Smoking gun proof that it's him imo

And also I believe that someone tried a recover password for the account and even thought Scopley used ****** in the middle of the account email it was the exact same number of characters and began and ended with this faggot polacks dinosaur hotmail account.
It won’t let me quote you, but the vest streak happened in 2020. It ended in August of 2020 during his playthrough of Paper Mario: The Origami King. It was later discovered that the vest streak was being mainly propped up by a few whales, mainly OIC. It ended because OIC purposefully didn't give Phil money as part of his grand, autistic plan to show that Phil needs him and that he can control Phil like a puppet

Two other bits of proof are Scopely's stated policy of not changing names and DownFromTheRafters being too long to be a user-created name (18 characters vs. a limit of 15 or 16).
It's not smoking-gun proof the way the Discord name was, but they point to Scopely customer service helping Phil out and the most likely reason for that is bending the rules to help a top spender.

For me the smoking gun was when totally not Phil on the clans discord wrote a totally not Phil novella about how he was being harassed because his name was exactly like this super cool and awesome successful on demand content creator who had a legion of mouth drooling morahns clipping him out of context.
hey all. sorry for the delay. I was touching grass with some business style travel.
would it make sense to move page 2 and 3 under the OP? I believe that the global jannies can move posts earlier in threads so I can do that if needed. If you don't mind page 2 and 3 spread out across the thread, I can leave as is.
@Son of Big Boss I will remove the stuff you requested from page 2.
!" That's Phil. He's that grandiose about himself, and always has been. He's always been someone who would unironically tell you, "I'm a pretty big deal."
