Re: Unpopular fandom opinions

The fact that the thing that set him off in the first case was child sexual abuse, and that he bypassed threatening the guy to straight-up beat him half to death is...very telling.

YES, and the way he described it to Foggy, the way he knew the man was smart enough to do it in a way to not leave marks so no one would suspect and the way he... says it? How does that not come off like first-hand experience, is what I'm saying? I can't look at anything from Matt's past without filtering it through his fucked up relationship with Stick, and even as an adult it's STILL a fucked up relationship because one of the first things Stick does is verbally harass and abuse Matt, he physically assaults him (yes, I'm sure it was a test but he's been out of Matt's life for 20 freaking years and this is how he come back into Matt's life?) and puts Matt into the same unbreakable hold he used to use on him as a child? And, auuuuugh, the second Stick asks for a beer Matt smiles and then catches himself so awkwardly. Like even after the verbal and physical shit, he's still happy to see Stick. THE PAIN. MY HEART. GDI, MATT. And I fully expect Stick to come back into Matt's life (next season) and Matt would receive him the same way, with that anger and awkward semi-hopeful smile on his face. Sorry anon, sorry, I think I just made myself angry all over again. Fuck.
