I know I've talked about this before but i will talk about it again Matt from bare is one of my favorite characters ever from anything not just Bare
Now i would NEVER try to justify what he did EVER but that doesn't mean that i don't truly enjoy his character.
Now in order to talk about Matt we have to address the elephant in the room... He outed Jason and Peter and something that isn't really talked about he told the whole school about Ivys pregnancy before she was ready too.
But and this is a big but wouldn't you do the same? I mean if you're reading this you're probably some type of LGBT or at least very supportive. But put yourself in Matt's shoes he was young and dumb he had probably never met a gay person before and he definitely hadn't seen them in a positive light. More than that he was the boy that was always left out (something that i relate to). None of which is an excuse for what he did im not excuseing what he did.
Another thing that leads me to believe that he's not all bad is how he acted directly after best kept secret when he saw Peter and Jason kiss. Matt's whole world crumbled including his faith (And coming from somebody who has lost his faith that is a very scary thing) the first thing he did wasn't to immediately out them or confront them about it his first move was to seek spiritual guidance. And even after that he still couldn't believe that someone that he knew and concederd a good friend (Peter probably not so much Jason) could be that bad. He couldn't condem his friend to hell. This is something that i think is important to note even after Are you there when Peter came out to Matt. Matt didn't confront or more importantly condemn Peter he left which is something that even excepting people can be guilty of. But then he fucked up and it was a big fuck up. But i don't think that that makes him a bad person
Again I'm not trying to justify his actions and im not trying to excuse them what he did was unexceptable but i don't think that his actions make him a bad person or take away any chance of redemption he could ever have
