Bobby Puleo is a great skater and I love his parts. That being said, he is totally mentally ill. He's 1 step away from looking for signs from god in the license plates of passing cars.
I think he’s a lot more self aware than people give him credit for. Id like to believe his Instagram account is (mostly) performance art or an elaborate bit. Sure, he may be a bit odd and conspiratorial, but no doubt he hams it up.
In his videos he comes off as a genuinely polite and reasonable fella.
For sure, if you watch any videos where he's being interviewed, he's super considered, polite, and constantly reiterating that he's not trying to disrespect anyone or whatever. Just watch his nine club.
I think when he gets a keyboard and tries to distill his perspective into words is when it goes wrong. The shit he types up is so black and white and really doesn't mirror how he is when he's being interviewed or filmed.
Everyone probably communicates differently over a keyboard versus in real life, and I think the internet keyboard warrior Puleo is way worse than IRL puleo.
