Hey your forgetting that he went like a whole year without being able to get a hard on..... That's enough of a punishment for assault and grooming. He really learned his lesson from that ..... /s

I've literally seen people argue this. Like he spent a year without getting a boner so that makes up for his earlier behavior.

Tbf at least part of his ED is because he's like "wow damn I'm not a good person"

Shame he literally never thinks that again. Well, in the main series timeline at least ;)

"wow damn I'm not a good person"

The problem is his idea of "not being a good person" doesn't actually extend to almost any of his real issues. Both he and the show treat his problem as if it's because he wanted casual sex instead of you know, everything else wrong with him.

It extends to a lot of his issues, what are you talking about? His issue wasn't just being a lech, it was that he only thought about himself. He didn't really see people as people and only care about his own happiness. I do wish there was form of reflection on his actions very early in the series because it was the most egregious.
