He was always a shitty person. Even in his adolescence.
He made fun of his classmate because his classmates father committed suicide. That classmate responded by shoving him down the stairs. Which honestly should have happened more.
He was always rotten to the core.
That may be, but that wasn't really well known then. Hell I haven't heard anything you claimed above until now.
Behind the Bastards did a segment on him about 7 or so years ago, which is how I found out about how shitty he was when he was younger.
This article I found on the stairwell incident:

We were this fucking close to answering the "What if baby Hitler was killed" question.
He was calling a heroic cave rescuer "pedo guy" for daring to beat him to rescuing children before his cool submarine was built... 8 years ago. And people back then weren't surprised how awful that was, because it had already been well publicized how fucking awful he is.
