I think Lucas knows it will make him look bad. Just like how, at least as far as I know, he has not mentioned anything about his latest Weebly website being taken down. I was waiting for him to start mooing over what bigots the people at Weebly are, but he has never said anything about it. He before was constantly talking about his website, now it is as if it never even existed. Same thing with his PayPal.
Lucas has spent so long in fluctuating levels of psychosis that he has exceptional defense mechanisms. He's highly accustomed to failing in his various schemes and I think he's ticked all of the boxes:
Denial - He regularly does this by default. How Lucas regularly responds to comments about his appearance, bodyweight and filthy living conditions is an example. "I am handsome!" "My room is tidy!". We all know these statements to be false, and secretly he does too. Let's not forget his outright denial of his conversations with 'cut off finger girl' Emilia.
Repression - This refers to the Weebly and Paypal deletion. The colossal threat to his ego and the frustration of all that wasted time is too much for him to mentally register. He therefore won't even mention it as the very thought is too painful. He doesn't even break his stride with his videos.
Projection - Luke regularly hates on people with his own character flaws and perversions. As has been established, he's an obvious homophobe and yet accuses total strangers of disliking gay people. Likewise, he is the biggest misogynist out there.. reducing women to mere breeding machines. But yet he's always the one calling others 'My-sojunists'.
Displacement - Lucas is a coward who would never challenge 'flat billed' millennial men face-to-face. His keenness to challenge people over the internet through his ivory tower of blocks and comment disabling allows a threat-free means to direct his emotions. We also know that his sexuality is laced with malice and aggression. He wouldn't be able to exert this aggression onto a mature woman, and therefore he subconsciously targets children who won't know any better and are too physically weak to defend themselves against him.
Regression - This is a 40 year old man who lives, talks and acts like a disgusting teenager. At his worst, Lucas regresses to an almost primal state where all he talks about is food and sex. He makes grunting noises and has animalistic body language.
Rationalization - One word... Telomeres. His use of pseudoscience to justify the shame of his penchant for children is a standard Lucas behavior.
Sublimation - A specific example is his domestic violence charge where Lucas lashed out violently against an inanimate object as opposed to another person. Generally however, he's found cause to distract himself with pointless hobbies like board game collection.
Reaction formation - This strategy is where a person acts the opposite of how they feel. This is common in cases of mania, of which we know Lucas is undergoing an episode right now. His creepy laughter displays this mechanism.
Compartmentalization - Lucas struggles to apply this in a social context, as he lacks any meaningful 'life' to compartmentalize. He exists in a state of stagnation with no realistic plans and no good prospects for the future. However, the way he
mentally separates people - the zoomers, the flat bills, the grey beards and the excuses he makes for his living state (as a kind of political/religious/scientific viewpoint) may be an example of him trying to separate himself from his extremely, unfulfilling, depressing life.
Intellectualization - Luke will always revert to a reductionist argument where he uses principles of mathematics or economics, usually wrongly I might add. This prevents him from having to emotionally invest in an argument or to face the reality of his situation.
