The problem with some of you is that you're unable to understand that Grayson is no evil mastermind puppeteer in control and pulling everyone's strings. He is a himbo, childish, idiotic, violent, stunted, manipulative self-centered idiot. His perception of reality is genuinely warped so he thinks he is helping others and doing good (for the most part). He is not maliciously and knowingly hurting his siblings on purpose. And the reality of the matter is that if his family helped him in the same way he helps others, Grayson would just accept it as help. In fact, he already does. Grayson sees nothing wrong with Ashley's treatment of him because he is his father, and if his father does something to him it must be for his own good/right. And he gets SA'd later by someone who I will not name and doesn't mind in the end because he enjoyed the act. What I'm trying to say with this is that Grayson's mindset is also harmful to himself. He is brutally honest and at the same time deceptive in ways that put him at a disadvantage or in peril's way and he is so socially inept that he does not recognize he is self sabotaging. He genuinely, at first, doesn't understand why Chase hates him. He is not playing dumb or coy, he actually doesn't get it. Likewise, he does not realize how telling Naomi she is not the type you would want to marry could make her feel hurt to the point that she is only mantaining a facade of friendship just to see his downfall. These are just a couple of non spoilery examples. An adept manipulator and cold gigachad psychopath deluxe would not behave this way or fall into these obvious traps. Does that mean Grayson is a good person or that he deserves a redemption? No. But he is simultaneously more complex and simpler than what you might expect or assume from a first impression.
