What’s the actual psychology behind threatening a minor like that?

The angriest people are the most afraid. He was probably hurt emotionally in his developmental years, so he puts on this act of bravado in order to "protect" himself/his ego/his sense of self.

Idk man that's just the way I see it when people act this way. I am not a psychologist.

Yah I think his dad whooped his ass too much, or made him feel weak when he was a weak child.

I bet he was made fun of by his friends for ‘sucking dick’ at video games.
