I think c!philza’s conversations with ghostbur today destroyed all of us, so I’m going to talk about c!philza for a bit — his ride-or-die bias towards techno, how that influences his beliefs, and his relationships with others.
phil favors techno. that is damn obvious. they’re old friends who go way back. phil also feels somewhat protective over techno — I’m a huge sucker for the headcanon that phil discovered that techno was basically a teenager during the antarctic empire days and subtly began feeling a bit parental to him after that.
the reason why phil became an anarchist ultimately ties back to techno. although phil was living in l’manberg back then, he was secretly helping techno; and his allegiance to techno ultimately resulted in his (definitely unjustified, but incomparable to what most people in l’manberg went through) house arrest. this house arrest, and watching techno’s execution, were what finally pushed him into full anarchy.
the thing is, I think this loyalty to techno is also what completely blinds him to the suffering of pretty much everyone else in l’manberg, and what him allows to be a-okay with dream’s actions as a tyrant.
phil is adamant that government was ultimately what ruined the people of l’manberg. but he somehow completely misses the trauma of the characters. he comes pretty dangerously close to what amounts as victim-blaming the citizens of l’manberg, especially tubbo, taking the position that they got what was coming to them. he says sorry to ghostbur for assisting in killing friend and destroying ghostbur’s library, but it’s clear that he doesn’t regret it.
when push comes to shove, phil always chooses techno. always. and he does not care if that ends up hurting other people who are or were close to him.
even though tommy, tubbo, and fundy aren’t directly phil’s sons, they are still connected to him and see him as somewhat of a father (or grandfather) figure. tommy accidentally calls him ‘dadza’. tubbo was found on the side of the road, and back when phil was in l’manberg they often worked together to build l’manberg. fundy is phil’s grandchild, who’s looking for any family he can get.
and phil sees them as corrupt, for reasons all adjacent to techno. although he was kind to them, he never truly paid attention to their trauma; and once they started directly opposing techno, well. they were dead to him, pretty much. this is neglect and abuse, everyone.
his conversation with ghostbur has only been the most overt example of this. and if ranboo ever decides to leave technoblade, well. I think we know where that is going.

With the recent exposing of a bunch of people breaking CC's boundaries I think I should probably share this video which is a perfect example of what happens to creators who are truthed.
I know you think you want hurting anyone, I know you think cc's won't ever see you, but Phil and Wilbur have said that Tommy sees every single comment good or bad and things upset him for days, Ranboo and Tubbo have secret tumblrs, it's not so hard to think that they are seeing what you are doing and it is hurting them.
Truthing is not a gaydar, truthing is trying to out people, truthing is pushing people into the closet if they were coming to terms with their sexualities, truthing is giving people PTSD, sending them into spirals, harrassing them, being an actual creep.
This is not the first fandom to have creators get truthed about and it is not the first fandom where that kind of behaviour hurt the creators personally.
Learn from the past mistakes of past creators, think before you act, and consider deleting your blogs.
