I definitely think it's a mixture of bad PR and Nathan letting his anger get the best of him. I've always thought Nathan has a "white knight syndrome" when it comes to relationships. When he feels attacked, he automatically gets defensive and tries to "save the day" and "act like a man." Problem is, he doesn't approach the situation with the right attitude or tone. He lets his anger get the best of him and makes the situation even worse. Instead of choosing his words wisely, he runs his mouth which makes everything sound even more bitter and callous.

And yeah, the Seddie "violence" has always been portrayed as over-the-top cartoon slapstick. It's not supposed to be taken realistically. He used to understand that - or at least act like he understood it - in the past. There's old interviews with ClevverTV and other tween sites/magazines in which he detailed how the dynamic between Sam and Freddie had shifted over the seasons. I still say it says something that he suddenly changed his opinion on all things iCarly this year. But then again, nothing about him has seemed quite right for the last year and a half in particular.
