This is the first time I've really felt sorry for Cole. I'm sure some of what Cole said about his childhood is true. I know women who put their man before their family. I know women who when not in a relationship are all about "I love my family, my family comes first, I'd die for my family", but the second they get into a relationship its "FUCK YOU FOR TRYING TO TEAR US APART! YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT WE HAVE! HE'S THE ONE!", and they do and say that every time they get a new man.
But I also thought Cole needed to get the fuck over it. He left when he graduated, he had minimal contact, for a long time no one was asking anything of him, he got to have fun in California, he built his own life and identity outside of Barb.
The thing that made me think Cole was a piece of shit was when Chris tried to get Cole's vote for the Parappa Rapper contest, Cole was 44 years old at that point and Chris was 25. Cole was a grown ass man, and as it seems all Cole knew about Chris that he was his autistic and seemingly innocent half-brother. But Cole roped Chris into this game of Cole VS Barb and essentially took advantage of Chris and made him confront his mother about her lies and told Chris all the horrors and scorn he had for her for his childhood. He basically tried to turn Chris against Barb, his own mother.
As far as Cole knew, all his baby autistic brother wanted was for people he knew to vote for him for a silly little contest. And Cole tried to take a mile and turn it into a war against their mother.
And then to top it off, he told Chris he hates his father and to tell me when he dies.
So basically, all Chris asked was for Cole to vote for him, and Cole; who to an extant is a stranger/distant relative, turned that into "Our mom is a lying whore, do my bidding, confront mom about something that should only be between us, also I hate you're fucking father and I hope he dies and you tell me when!"
Cole is a piece of shit. And then really he just went on to be a pretentious, lame try hard movie critic that no one gives a fuck about.
But still, the harassment he's been getting since at least 2008, and now to find out the woman who gave birth to him was possibly raped by his own half-brother, or tricked into it, or just as bad maybe his foggy old woman mom initiated a sexual relationship with his little half-brother (after all its possible if she ain't playing with a full deck, and she did demand the spooning and such). Its fucked.
