All of their behaviour points to them hating themselves and just really not enjoying life. It's textbook really, Anthony is an alcoholic and acts out sexually (pedophilia, sex with trannies, shoving a vibrating egg into his rectum) and Joe spends 23 hours a day on reddit arguing with strangers who hate him while ignoring his young daughter whose life he is fucking up even more with every post.

This makes it even sadder that their only defence against trolling is the old "you're just jealous" line when it's so clear from how they act that they must hate their lives.
