Your source only levels criticism against him on a personal level? Some of which originates from the homophobia and sexism of the age of the doc, considering that voyerism and homosexuality used to be commonplace in rome!
Besides abusing freeborn boys and seducing married women…
Some of which is kind of even funny
He so prostituted his own chastity that after defiling almost every part of his body, he at last devised a kind of sick game, in which, covered with the skin of some wild animal, he was let loose from a cage and attacked the private parts of men and women…
But for the sake of the argument, conceding all that; what effect would him being a dickbag in his personal life have on his emperorship?
It also has clearly untrue statements! Claudius was killed by Agrippa!!!
He began his career of parricide and murder with Claudius…
It also seems to often cite itself as its own source multiple times?
