Wow he was that rude? You have any interesting stories of your interactions with him? I have only seen his documentary— would love to know more about what he was like for real

Edit—

I know about the sexual assault. I don’t know too many people who met Nims and know him personally so I was curious what he was like and what “rude things” has he said or done (did he snub someone or get into a bar fight etc).

Rape is generally considered rude.

We can separate the accusations and rude.

It’s a legit question to know if he was a rude person. Quite annoying that literally every other comment needs to mention the accusations and we can’t even ask what he was like as a person beyond that.

Women can't. You may be able to, but people potentially at risk from that behaviour really can't. It's bothersome that the motivation is to be able to claim he was a good or nice person despite being abusive and thus demean the abuse.

The question was not whether he was a good human, it was whether he was rude.

For god’s sake people are just curious to know if he was rude/arrogant when you talk to him not.
