That was one of the big things for sure. But the self cutting girl stuff. Anthony gambling away money and trashing anyone who questioned his gambling addiction. His obsession with young girls and trying to go their proms. The obsession over race and crime (which looking back is even more hilarious because Anthony was arrested for domestic violence had to go to rehab). His weird relationship with Danny. And a few other small things already had the pests taking notes on Anthony. Waiting for the day where everyone would turn the daggers onto O&A.If you're here from reddit, that would mean you don't even fully understand Anthony 's downfall. It didn't start during the fights, it really started during Lobster Girl.
Opie called it very early in the show. That one day the pests would turn on all of them. And all of the bad things in the past would haunt them. That they created an army of demented maniacs who would harass them Jocktober style for life. For Opie it was mostly him just being a loser dork. Like Opie said he grew up poor which was a lie. Said he was an athlete but likely was the last picked kid in gym class. Said he was a model. And people ripped on Opie for 'ruining the show' and killing the vibe of every show through some bizarre Anthony worshiping rewriting of history which has obviously run its course because no one listens to Anthony anymore (nor Opie nor Jim either).
But the things that the pests uncovered about Anthony and Jim were pathologically disturbing. Like serial killer stuff. Sue Lighting and Princess Alan or whatever that viking's name is. Anthony's real downfall was the hypocrisy. Pretty much everything that the pests call him out for now.....are things he railed against other people for, for years or decades even.
