i don't even think phil is a richard that much
well
he's a richard
but not in a really bad way, i've heard from devs that phil is a fine guy and he doesn't deserve the hate he gets, it's just the hate he does get he reacts to violently and thus more people started hating him
fez is a great game and while phil might be on the slightly uh... fierce(?) side hes still not a really horrible guy
he mostly just reacts to the hate he gets, which started from all the stress he was taking from not releasing fez for so long
I'm opinionated, I say controversial things, I'm not an starfish. (this is to people that know me in person, I'm sure a few of you know me as an un-opinionated, normal, starfish.)
to be fair on him, he could be the same
like i said i feel like a lot of the hate he gets is unneeded and he just reacts to violently to it sometimes
