I agree that Tai comes across like a bit of a ratbag. I think it's important to temper that feeling against his personality - the guy literally has no filter. he does not give a fuck about peoples feelings or their impression of him, so he speaks his mind at all times. So you get the unfiltered stuff. A lot of the other fighters put up persona's or put on nice guy acts, but thats all bullshit and they would be just as shitty as Tai underneath at times. every human is.
So be positive and look at Tai's attitude and actions as refreshing and honest. Instead of being a cunt.
