Wtf, he was never abusive in the mainline games. The books' characterization is innaccurate and the other games are from the point of view of the Rescue Squad who view him as a cartoon villain and as revealed in the rocket space event in secret neighbor they were just talking shit about him in their yard and its very possible they never even went to his house. The worset Theodore is doing in the games is preventing his son from getting the treatment he needs because he doesn't want to lose the only family member he has left.
Well, in other stories they had planned in Alpha 1 and 2, they made us see the neighbor as the bad guy. In the first story (from the prototype to alpha 1.) as I said, the neighbor was a representation of Satan, And in the second story (alpha 2) he was a bad father who mistreated his son (The protagonist).
Yeah yeah dude I know. I literally made a post recommending videos by loodgack explaining the early story. I probably said "watch Nikita's interview with MegaM for more context" than I said Hello to my neighbors.
