      I like to imagine that Diogenes was the age of antiquity era equivalent of a 5 foot five dude who legit has no fear of death and makes it everyone elses problem by being a goblin.

        Jesus fucking Christ, that’s my friend Spider. He’s taller than that, sorta.

        But if you knew how many times I’ve had to beat someone’s ass because he has zero fear of getting his kicked, you’d think I was an idiot for still being his friend. Dude just does not give a fuck and will say exactly what he wants, period.

        Now, he’s not actually an asshole, he doesn’t go around fucking with people as a hobby. But when people are already being annoying, he doesn’t back down, play nice, or otherwise accept it.

          Im five five, I was speaking from experience. I think it has to do with being shorter than a solid chunk of people meaning that eventually we just dont give a fuck. Mind you I do back down just in really backhanded ways that pisses folks off.

        I think everyone else’s problem with him was more routinely related to his regularly and casually jerking off in public.

          Diogenes and his motivations for being a goblin is not independent as to why people found his goblin behavior annoying. The problem is that if they tried killing him for it he would win.
