It’s been over a decade since I even thought about Thunderf00t AKA Phil Mason. He had a blog here on FtB for about 3 days before he flamed out spectacularly — he decided to use his opportunity here to screech about feminism, and rant about all us cucks and how contemptible the site was. He was an embarrassing disaster, and we kicked him out (although, unfortunately, he kept his password to the backchannel and copied all the private discussions we’d had about this mess, and dumped them to the denizens of the slymepit.) He was a truly awful, obsessive, immoral person, we discovered.
Now Rebecca Watson picks at the scab and tells us what Thunderf00t is obsessed with now. It’s Elon Musk. I can’t fault him for that, but I can fault him for being so bad in his arguments. He is objectively bad at making arguments about anything.
Would you believe Thunderf00t still has one million subscribers on YouTube? Getting booted off freethoughtblogs didn’t do him any harm at all.
Let me guess. Thruderf00l think the fascist ketamine junkie is a genius?
No! He actually hates Musk!
I remember.

Odd, you’d think TF would worship that shit-stain.
Finally got a chance to watch the video over my break.
I haven’t watched anything done by Thunderf00t for about a decade and I do not intend to change that. I watched Rebecca’s video but I skipped the part where she shows a clip of him.
Oh yeah, he’s still around. I ran across a link to one of his videos (on how Starship is a failure because it hasn’t landed on the moon yet) in the comments for another blog I frequent and I had to go through and explain why his analysis was complete and utter trash. There are many reasons to dislike Elon Musk, but none of the things he mentioned were actually valid criticisms.
Kind of odd how he dislikes Elon. I would have thought he was at least tech-bro adjacent. Maybe he’s jealous?
^ Jealous of Elon Musk? Geezus H Christ on a popsicle stick.
