If the writers wanted to sympathetic Bryce and Monty than they shouldn't rapists in the first place. The only way to successfully make a rapist sympathetic imo is if they were sexually abused as a child by their father or other relatives (like Justin was) and taught to believe that is "normal" behavior. Bryce from everything we know about him was a smug sociopath who felt he was entitled to treat his "friends" like tools and have sex with women whether they want him to or not. No part of his backstory explains why he would want to rape girls except pure lust and entitlement. Why would someone that self absorbed want to genuinely change so quick? Their dad left them? They were bullied at school? He brought that on himself. Bryce has likely been raping girls for several years. You mean all that time, all those girls and NOW he's just suddenly starting to feel bad about it? A girl killed herself almost immediately after he raped her, his best friend called him out on raping his girlfriend, he was on trial for the rapes where he had like a year to reflect on what he did. What does he do? Lie to the judge's face without remorse, gloat to his mother's face how he "fucked" the girl and get a hard on remembering it. It is like season three had a whole different writing staff.

Sorry fir the rant. I just still can't stand Bryce's redemption arc. It is so cringe.
