@Willow@stranger.social I think people don't understand that the general public treated him like this mythic character until finally he just gave up and accepted that role, and he turned it into a platform for trolling everybody.

To be clear I'm not saying that's a good thing, and maybe I'm even agreeing that there's something wrong with him.

But the best way to think about him these days is as a troll not to be taken seriously, and we would all be better off if we just ignored him.

As the old internet line says, don't feed the trolls. Unfortunately we keep promoting his behavior by continuing to give him attention.
