Re: Unpopular fandom opinions

*nods* Maybe? I love Foggy, but I have some serious issues with some of the skeevier things he does to Matt and Karen? The blatant up and down HEY BABY look he gives his new blind roomate who (supposedly) can't see the leering and ogling was one red flag, and the other was when Foggy is out stalking Karen. He ended up saving her, yes, but if she hadn't had a problem that night it would have amounted to just a night of Foggy following her to see where she goes. Foggy shows up at Fogwell's Gym for Matt, too, and admits he's known about Matt going there for awhile, which is... it just makes me uncomfortable because if you've ever had someone who was sexually flirtatious with you just show up somewhere you are like they knew where to find you, then you know that feeling. Those things are not cool, and those are only a couple of things Foggy does that are really crossing a boundary. Foggy may love these people in his life, but there's some deeper, sneaky control issues happening that make me wary because they're so well hidden, like in plain sight, and somehow Matt and Karen let it go. Do they let it go because they love Foggy? Matt canonically lets Foggy get away with a lot, he lets Foggy lie to him and he swallows it, but Karen? Marci?

Foggy says he doesn't have any secrets and I don't buy it for a second because of his established relationship with the bottle. I think he has more issues than we give him credit for because he's so sunny and expert at hiding his problems and because the show spends most of its time shining a light on deconstructing all of Matt's problems, and then Karen's, that Foggy doesn't get a lot of time to have his guts brought into the light. But he does seem to be pressing on Matt and/or Karen at various points in the series. Is it possible to have a mix of legit nice guy and also "nice guy" happening, because I could totally get behind that completely for Foggy.
