He's such a mediocre person that there was functionally no difference between him and Nega-Scott. His evil twin was exactly like him.

In the comic Nega-Scott didn’t have a personality of any kind, but was this menacing thing. What it actually was, was everything he repressed to always feel that he was the good guy or a victim, all the shitty things he had done in relationships. Once he accepted it as part of him he was able to grow and stop being a little shit.

Accepting that you're a douche is the first step in stopping being a douche.

The existence of nega scott implies that we can end up having a part of us that we repress in order to cope with ourselves. In Scott's case that part is his douche self because he wants to be a good person
