No joke. Literally destroyed his soul.
Its sad... but its what happens when you're surrounded and raised by a brood of bloodsucking, lifeless and vapid harlots. No positive or reinforcing male influence since his father passed. The females of that family are truly demonic. Not just coli demonic... but seriously evil. Look at Bruce and Lamar... those were good/decent dudes who got the life sucked out of them. Scott, well, he's basically on the same level as the females so he'll be fine.
This guy is just straight up eating his loneliness away.
