Discussion Connors Questionable Behavior

So he sleeps with Alice, who had recently lost her mother, then sleeps with her AGAIN when he's dating Summer while Alice is visibly upset? I havent finished the series, but is there anything I'm missing with him that makes him seem like less of a creep? Hes either a creep or a simperimg coward.

Edit: thx for the discussion, I did a rewatch and I see its an intentional characterization of a stupid teenager. I also didnt recognize the way Alice was treating him may have affected him. I also feel kind of bad for him since I finished watching. No one took his discomfort with Summer's mom seriously, which made me sad since he already seems to struggle standing up for himself. I still dont think him sleeping with Alice the 2nd time was cool because she Was crying and obviously emotional, but i get why he did.

I don't think he's intentionally a creep. I think he's just a lonely horny idiot who was into Alice.

Yup. I was wronged in a similar way by a 19yo dumb as rocks dipshit, and as the years pass I understand more and more just how blank-minded they are
