Father is alcoholic and trained his son as an assassin. Oh, right, that also means he was abusive.

Honestly, it would be infinitely more interesting if he was NOT abusive in that situation. Assassins typically understand basic psychology, and being abusive towards the kid you're training to follow in your footsteps is the best way to get yourself killed. That's not where the clues lead. I agree it would be interesting, but it doesn't warrent telling people to shut up about something that makes infinitly more sense. There are better ways of going about it. For instance you could have said 'it'd be interesting if...' or 'would it make sense if...', but no, you said 'can we please STOP assuming Marcus was abusive?' and then dismiss the notion that there's indication of it, all because you don't like the stereotype.
