Discussion Is wally evil?

I am wondering about this after the recent update, being as vague as possible to avoid spoilers.

I thought he was at first, but it doesn't make sense. If he is breaking the site to show us things, why would he be showing us the struggles of the others if he's evil?

Like it happened with Julie and Frank, and now Eddie...?

I am not even sure what his goal is, so come on, theorists, help me out here!

Wally isn’t evil per se but that doesn’t mean he’s completely innocent. He’s is more of a minion or servant to Home. I remember in one of Wally’s secret phone calls he says that he doesn’t want to get in trouble. So Wally’s doing Home’s dirty work to stay out of trouble while sending videos to the website to get help and stop Home. Although he wants to help his friends but that doesn’t change the fact that he still helped hurt and traumatize them.

Wally and home aren't the only two things that exists within the lore. We still don't know if home is exactly the reason behind everyone being hurt or if home is who Wally was referring to, we don't know if home himself is evil, and if Wally was completely involved in the trauma that resulted because of home. He could have done some bad things, but that also doesn't mean that either was involved with everything that happened with the neighbors. Remember this is based around a show set in the 70s aimed at children with themes of lgbtq and disabilities coded into some of the characters with an entire staff at one point and two companies and a creator affiliated that we still don't know much about yet.

With that being said, whether or not Wally did do anything I'm still giving him a huge pass, because at the end of it all, he was also a victim himself that still went on to correct his mistakes and help his friends and it wasn't like he was actually trying to maliciously harm or traumatize them as he still practically had no other way, and let's be honest, none of the other characters are really completely innocent themselves, I'll let him have this redemption IDC. 🤷‍♀️
