A person who makes a bold statement, then, upon reflection decides that they can't stand behind their reactive decision and does a flip-flop. The true backpedaler will carefully choose an alternate opinion designed to mask their original panic.

A technique commonly used in arguments whereupon someone returns to a previous point they had made and pretends what they had said after that point never happened. Used in an attempt to null arguments that have been proven wrong, to prevent humiliation or to prevent the disputer from identifying that they have made a stupid argument. Politicians frequently use this in order to prevent interviewers from getting to the root of the problematic things they say. Really fucking annoying.

When you, in the moment, think you just posted the funniest thing online, but have second thoughts and eventually delete it after reviewing it thoroughly, typically by trying to see it from the perspective of the audience.
Wait, did Phil delete his Story, where he argued that Harry Potter shouldn't have been British? I wanted to send that to someone.
I guess he's shitpost backpedalling. I thought it was funny too.
