Simpspiracy must've been really weird for people who didn't watch any of the PPP videos. But he was the one driving home hard the Josh was defending Dick on Kiwifarms. Josh eventually was able to get the hate mob that was forming against him, ralph, and dick, onto just Dick and Ralph. He made a "joke" about how Ralph is going to have to be sacrificed for the harvest to satisfy the mob. So, after seeing this Ralph went turbo sperg mode and got pissed at Josh. Dick invited Josh on his show to talk to ralph. They bickered a bit. That's when Ralph decided to go full scorched dick on Josh.
PPP and Godwinson do a stream with Vordrak, days later Dick's bank is found and immediatley taken down. Soon after this PPP receives several hundred dollar donation from Josh in the form of DLive Lemons. After this PPP has refused to comment on Josh.
Josh and Dick are still ostensibly friends at this point, then something happens and Josh sees an opportunity to break ties with Dick, as Dick is closely associated with a tranny who openly promotes loli, and after his incident with 9chan, Josh decided to reverse his long standing support of loli, and so broke ties with Dick ostensibly on that basis. And right on cue Cutie's comes out and Dick in full loli-defense mode still, fully supports it in a move to own josh, cue the Dick Masterson outro music.
I believe this was part of Josh's courting to get Dick to allow him on his invite only NP2 service, plus Dick was very popular at the time with people in that circle, so it doubly behooved Josh to act very friendly with him. Though, it would be funnier is Josh was a full on Dick simp. That would be way funnier.
