That makes Diogenes mocking him even more funny

I like to imagine that Diogenes was the age of antiquity era equivalent of a 5 foot five dude who legit has no fear of death and makes it everyone elses problem by being a goblin.

I think everyone else's problem with him was more routinely related to his regularly and casually jerking off in public.

Diogenes and his motivations for being a goblin is not independent as to why people found his goblin behavior annoying. The problem is that if they tried killing him for it he would win.
