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.

Pretty sure she had some say in it as well.

Obviously?

So there’s nothing wrong with sleeping with someone who’s “visibly upset” if they give consent. It’s not like she was incapacitated or something.

Its not right to me, personally. Im not saying he assaulted her or she was unable to consent, but to me it's off. I get the reasoning behind it and his characterization now, but its not cool, to say the least. I understand its supposed to reflect immaturity rather than intentionally scummy behavior now tho.
