Can you name any actual flaws in his ideas, other than lolgay? What limitations and failures can you see in him?

I like his writing, but it feels like academics suck him off endlessly because they think his life was exciting. So now I want to find out what his flaws are.

I remember one critique, from an American scholar. His poems were at times juvenile in content matter (given his age), looking to shock (given his age), and messy (given his age). Main point was, despite his genius, he was young and didn't have the refinement of old age like the sage-poet Mallarmé.

He didn't move on and get help with his PTSD after his Vietnam experiences and the death of his best friend. This led to him dealing with conflict in an unhealthy way and causing a lot of unnecessary violence and destruction.
