Not important when CP'ers need to get their shots in about his past that overcame. I hate when Theo Fleuy's brought up on CP. He's a really great person in real life, and true survivor, and what he was able to accomplish in the game with what he went through is simply unbelievable.
It's just the way he's always been in regards to speaking about himself. It's a defense mechanism. When you're sexually abused you have your complete self worth taken away, and one of the reasons he's still here today was building up this perception of himself, to always be telling himself that he's great and that he can be the best. It came off as cockiness, but it was necessary, it was the persona he created to have a life and succeed.
Not that half this message board could understand that or forgive him for it, but just something to think about when judging others. You judge him at the same level as the average person with a decent upbringing and yeah, you're going to think he's a piece of ****, who can't keep his mouth shut or make everything about him.
Bah who cares, probably wasted words anyways. He's a great person, though, if more of you could meet him and chat with him and not just hear and read stuff and then pass judgment, you'd know.
