Ben Donovan is just ugh

I know people here have already talked about this but oh my god, every time I rewatch season 4 I get so many anger issues, especially because of Serena, never has she ever been more annoying.

The most frustrating thing to me is, that Ben is not an innocent man to me. Like yes, they didn‘t do anything in that Hotel, but Serena is acting like he‘s some kind of saint for that, while it‘s the most obvious thing to do, when a TEENAGE student flirts with her Adult teacher? He even admitted to having feelings for her, he has crossed the line of what‘s appropriate by kilometers. If he was such a good guy/teacher, he would‘ve told Serena off way earlier, and ffs not even think about a minor like that. Their relationship afterwards is also just super disturbing, and I‘ve rarely felt as sorry for Dan, as I did when Rufus decided to let Ben just live with him, without even asking, that was incredibly disrespectful. Also serena not giving a shit about dan, telling him that her dating the guy who tried ruining her life, is none of his business, after he stuck with her through all this bs, almost getting back together, and having her weird daddy issues obsession with an authority figure, like jesus christ, I just wanna slap her. Maybe he didn‘t deserve to go to prison, but holy shit a man like that shouldn‘t be a teacher.

In general his personality is just a blank piece of toast. Kinda boring, and somehow he personifies feeling uncomfortable.
