never read this thread before but the blogpost by his mom about mental illness is legitimately heartbreaking and made me deeply sad. i know this dude is an enormous piece of garbage and a pedophile but hearing about him being a little kid from the perspective of his mom made me really sad. FUCK dude i didnt come here to feel
What I got from that post from his mom was dramatics. Yes, of course a little kid who is being excluded is going to have hurt feelings. But look at the way she writes about him, even as a child — “he LOVED a little girl to the moon and back, he was going to marry her” ... Okay well he was fucking 8. Yes, that post made me feel bad for CHILD Lucas, but it also made me wonder what he did for the girl to dislike him so much that she would invite everyone besides him to her party.
Look at Lucas now — he thinks women are commodities to be traded, that women owe him sex and worse, love and lifelong commitment, because he didn’t rape an unconscious girl at a party, or because he bought them food to cook in a toaster oven. He buys a male friend dinner and expects the friend to PROVIDE HIM WITH A WIFE in return. Somehow I don’t think he was that different as a child. I can very much see him telling that little girl “well I picked up your eraser when you dropped it, you have to kiss me or be my girlfriend now!!” And Lucas was big for his age, if I were his female classmate and he was obsessed with me to the point that he thought he was going to marry me, and I didn’t like him back, I would be afraid of him.
Also, I don’t trust Myrna’s account. I don’t think she’s a terrible person or anything, but her account is overdramatic, and SO coddling of Lucas. It’s also full of weird anecdotes — saying a baby had a fever of 110° for days on end??? That absolutely did not happen because that isn’t possible, he would be dead or a vegetable. So yeah, I would take that blog with a grain of salt. It’s hard not to feel bad for a child, but Lucas is decades away from being that little kid. Lucas has HAD chances to fit in. Lots of people are bullied and don’t fit in with classmates and they don’t turn into whatever he has turned into.
Lucas has had friends, he, for a VERY long time, had family who helped him out at every turn. It’s only in the last decade that his family has finally cut him off because of his refusal to help himself AT ALL. Lucas even had a girlfriend, who was the absolute perfect person for him: she let him live in her home, he didn’t have to work, he had a companion and sexual partner, and she loved him unconditionally despite his countless mental illnesses, his general stupidity and cringy behavior, and his morbid obesity. I’ve seen videos of them together — she LOVED him. All he had to do was not be violent towards her, that was her ONE rule, and he couldn’t even do that.
So... TLDR Lucas is a terrible person and I suspect that he has always, at least to some extent, been an entitled, insufferable brat who expects everything and contributes nothing, and his mother cultivated his delusion that he is special and worthy when he just isn’t.
