To be fair, Caligula's family history had it's own madness and the elite of Rome were notorious for assassinating each other or executing each for for literally any reason. "Oh, their villa has a better garden than mine? OMG they're traitors and plotting the Emperor's demise!" "Oh shit, I slept with [insert blood relative] and if people find out, I'm gonna get killed or exiled! I either need to get my relative killed, or kill those know about it." Shit, Caligula's sister Agrippina (who was also the mother of Nero), slept not only with Caligula before he was emperor and during his reign (though Caligula definitely was the one who initiated), she also managed to get the next emperor, Claudius' (who was her uncle) wife Messalina (who was an evil bitch herself) to be executed for being a huge whore (though she was). Then she married her uncle, and eventually poisoned him and his son, so that way she could get Nero on the throne.
Also, Caligula's first years were spent on a battlefield with his father, and Caligula would have been probably exposed to seeing actual battles and other violent things that happen during war. Then his father got poisoned because Tiberius viewed him as a political rival, and wouldn't let Caligula's mother remarry for fear that her new husband would also be a rival. Blah blah blah, his brothers get murdered, and his mother banished then killed along with her brother, and he and his sisters (of whom he'd later have sex with) are all that's left of the family. Tiberius spares him and takes Caligula under his wing. It has been noted that during this time, Caligula could be extremely cruel and vicious, and it was obvious that he was resentful of Tiberius, but was very good at hiding it. Blah blah blah, Tiberius dies, Caligula becomes the Emperor.
Now, while it may seem that Caligula was a good emperor in the beginning, but you have to remember that people were sick of Tiberius, and like when any new regime comes after a terrible one, people are ecstatic for their new leader. And most of Caligula's actions in his first months of being emperor was hugely political, not because he was benevolent. He was mostly concerned with gaining support and loyalty and to seem like he would be a different emperor than Tiberius. While he might have been insane, he could also have just been a product of how the elite were at the time and also his own upbringing, drunk on the unlimited power he had as emperor, and was a fucking degenerate that was never challenged nor told to stop.
As of yet, I have yet to hear anyone radically become a fucking lunatic psychopathic degenerate like Caligula simply because of being poisoned (though it's possible he had lead poisoning, though that would be due to the aqueducts being built with lead, not due to someone poisoning him personally, and he wouldn't have been as mentally cognizant as he was). Also his nephew, Nero, rivaled him in his absolute psychopathy and degeneracies, but Nero's mother, Agrippina, was just as ruthless and violent as Caligula. So I kind of tend to believe that psychopathy (and the horrible environment that was the elite in ancient Rome) just ran in the family, and Caligula's poisoning or perhaps illness, made him decide to fully live out his psychopathic degeneracy.
Sorry for the sperg, but I absolutely love ancient Roman and Greek history.)

Kevin, you are not a barren woman. You're a barren man who made himself that way because you took your fetish way too far and chopped off your cock to get a hole that is now closing up because you can't even maintain it, yet still try to convince other stupid men to do the same. I thank every deity known to man, still relevant and not, that you have been taken out of the gene pool.
