I just wanted to add something about the Troy discourse that I think is VERY important.
Troy's "redemption arc" was not caused by an external event, he was not outed, Kent did not stop talking to him... He was not "forced" to be better. He CHOSE to call his best friend out even though literally everyone else ignored Kent's behavior.
I think it takes so much courage to just one day decide to be better when you could have kept living your life... Just fine. And even more so when Troy lost so much in the process. Obviously the accusation against Troy are a kind of external event, a wake up call, but it is not directly pushing Troy to be better (and also in Eric's book I believe there is a mention of him already reconsidering his friendship with Kent before the accusations). He could have ignored it. Just like everyone else did.
Also, I do think it is relevant that Troy did not snap because Kent said something too homophobic for example. Troy snapped because Kent was a rapist, someone who hurt women. And canonically, Troy does not have many women in his life except his mother. He did not know the women making the accusations. He simply started fighting Kent because it was the morally good thing to do. Again: no exterior motive forced him to take a stance. He didn't do it for him. He did it for women, who have nothing to do with him or hockey.
And he did not stop there. He actively tried to do better for women. When his mother says he should try to interact with them more, he acknowledges that it is true (and I really wished we would have seen that happen in role model - maybe for unrivaled?)
Anyway, I don't know if I was clear but I just think it is worth mentioning that Troy was never forced to be better. It was a personal choice to change and that is extremely brave.
