Hi! Lurker here. I'm another person who ended up on the receiving end of one of Louis' amygdala hijack tantrums. I can't go into detail without doxing myself so I'll just leave it at that.
I wanted to mention a couple of things I've noticed in my observation of Louis after he went after me. They're points all of you have brought up before but I don't think I've seen my particular spin of them.
First, regarding his money begging and tech buying. I don't know how much you're aware of, but a lot of this started when he claimed he needed shoes in the winter and a bunch of people rallied to get them for him. Also when he started using the transcrowdfund hashtag there was an initial surge of donations but those started tapering off as well.
I think at one point someone gave him a thousand dollars, and he spent it all in about a week.
The tech and other purchases are part of a scam he learned from his mother. Have you noticed how often he returns the items he buys and then harasses the company he bought them from? I think he's trying to scam them with repeated returns in the hope that either they'll refund him on an item that he didn't actually return, or that they'll give him something for free. People have noticed that when they have gotten him things, suddenly he's harassing online retailers for not giving him cash on an unnamed return and instead offering him store credit. Just keep watching how he almost always sells and returns the tech he gets. Considering his mother went to jail for selling donations, he's probably just following in her footsteps.
And regarding his constant begging for food. I don't know if anyone has made this particular observation yet, but my theory about his complaints that his family wants him to 'starve' are because they can't afford to feed his picky eating self. They're obviously impoverished, and I think all Louis wants to eat are spaghetti-o's, pizza, chicken wings or tenders, and the occasional sloppy joe or burger. His mother probably gave him the ultimatum of "you will eat what we make or starve" and he spun it to mean, "MY FAMILY WANTS ME TO STAAAAARVE!!!" It's probably why they don't bring him along when they get fast food. They don't want to encourage his bad eating habits any more than the internet already has.
It all just makes me sad. And I was unsure about whether or not to post this at all and decided to look at Louis' twitter to see if I could find my answer. I did...
