Honestly I both love and hate C!Techno and C!Philza. I’ve always been like this since Doomsday. I’ve always been of the thought that Techno is too narrow minded and a bit of a hypocrite. He expect people to respect his ideals but never respects theirs.
As for C!Phil he just tends to use people in my eyes. Now with recent streams he’s been acting differently then how he was. But in the end I felt him destroy L’manburge was purely out of spite and grief he still hasn’t gotten over. Like Techno he’s focused on a bigger picture than understanding that people are individuals.
I can understand their view points but I also understand they are wrong in some aspects. And this is what I hate them for. I can safely say if I was a character of the SMP I would not like them one bit. But it’s not out of many common arguments you here. (People Tommy isn’t Phil’s kid, but he still was a kid Phil tormented so yeah... damned if you do or don’t ig)
No doubt they love you to play bastard characters, (Because I am a Philza Fan and I will die on this mountain), and I can tell Phil has fun with his OC he’s made.
Just to sum it up: I hate their characters for obvious reasons but I love watching them play their characters.
