Yeah, this has come up before. The ancient historical record is full of lies, and mean words about the just-deposed should always be taken with a grain of salt. That being said, Pug still leans towards believing it, because of Nero’s youth among other things.
Oh, so much of his dirty disgusting acts as an emperor are fabricated lies in order to run his popularity down! But the dirty disgusting acts as a child? Why would anyone fabricate that? They are obviously true unlike the others!!!
And you think he would become more responsible later on? Once he was crowned and declared as a demi-god, removed from any and all possible supervision?
Look, what I tried calling out in my last comment is the contradiction in your logic! You don’t accept the records of his later life for being forgeries, but the early ones contained within the same sources? Those are ought to be true… cause ummm… reasons

I mean the fact he became emperor while still young.

I actually haven’t read the original sources in depth at all. Clearly, there’s been some kind of miscommunication.
