Anyone can use any name they wish, the only legal issue is an attempt to deceive A waiver signed is just as valid whether signed in your birth name, an alias or as Mickey Mouse Tactical Pith Helmet 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's adjacent at worst, think how many film and music personalities have different names than what's on their birth certificates. If I had access to his phone number or address and released that information, that would be doxxing. I've said for a while of him that there's two possibilities: The Kicking Mustang persona is a character that he uses to drive engagement, sort of like Borat or Keith Lemon. The truth being that he knows exactly how controversial he is being and its all done for a bit, for the sake of content, however his behaviour off field and online would indicate that's not the case. Or He genuinely is that guy, the few times when he's friendly to people is the mask (almost exclusively reserved for younger airsofters encountered in person) and that he truly believes every ridiculous thing he's ever said, including all the racist/homophobic codswallop he spat as his "Jedi Economist" twitter account. Honestly, he's so close to being the 'Airsoft Alex Jones', I feel like he's one strong cup of coffee away from claiming they're "Puttin' chemicals in the black gas to turn our mk23s gay!"

Cannonfodder Posted December 27, 2023 Share Posted December 27, 2023 I think it's option 2. Anyone playing a character for that long would've had at least one moment where the mask slipped by now. Unfortunately I think the only thing that'll make him leave airsoft is if the money dries up, either due to lower views or more sites banning him which won't happen when sites like Pheonix allow/encourage his bullshit. When that happens I can almost guarantee he'll start releasing even controversial content to try and stay in the spotlight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone playing a character for that long would've had at least one moment where the mask slipped by now I do wonder that given his earlier (pre "going big") wasnt that bad that maybe its a case of wearing the mask long enough to become it? I remember him having more normal gameplay videos, the stuff where he was showing a lot of uncut footage of him being a hedge and occasionally someone would walk by him or he'd take a pot shot. Whilst it felt genuine, it would have been dreadfully boring to watch to someone who didnt play. Then ofc there's the video that gets picked up by the algorithm, a natural cheater encounter, ad revenue starts becoming a thing that exists in a meaningful way and it's a slow decline into having to seek out, then manufacturer drama to keep the clickbait machine fed. But then: 4 minutes ago, Colin Allen said: Having seen his spawn camping, experienced his cheating as a marshal, and read his bigoted comments, I am pretty sure that he is just an egregious little shit who has found a way of monetising his behaviour.

Tactical Pith Helmet Posted December 28, 2023 Share Posted December 28, 2023 It may be nature (Darwin). It may be nurture (Locke). It could also be Nietzsche though. Maybe he has the will to power to be an arsehole. Given his bigoted nonsense, anything's possible. He doesn't deserve the oxygen of publicity, nor the oxygen of oxygen to be frank.

When I first started watching his videos I found them funny but the more I watched the more I realised he was aiming for painful shots calling cheats raging when the tables turned on him all for YouTube.

Supporters Rogerborg Posted February 18 Supporters Share Posted February 18 It's a curious one. I get how non-airsofter LadBible types enjoy his well-produced fiction, in the same way that I dimly grasp the appeal of Jackass. Actual airsofters on an actual site? Baffling. I'd have to assume that Phoenix arranges things so that Useful Regulars are always on the same side as him, rather than getting spawn camped by him.

Popular Post hunter511 Posted February 18 Popular Post Share Posted February 18 (edited) Shit like this is why I got rid of facebook. I love airsoft and have done for 25 odd years...... But facebook airsoft groups are fucking toxic. "Yeah even tho they're questionably legal and carcinogenic why can't I use military smoke grenades?" "Why can't I use a tourniquet instead of a bandage for medic games?" "Can I make my own pyro?" Are all genuine posts that spring to mind....... Then there's the cancerous shite that are celebrities on the scene be they cheating fucks, toxic pricks, Onlyfans gun bunnies, charging money to do reviews on kit or a collection of the above.
