Granted it has been a while, but I can not remember a single redeeming feature about him. Nor a moment he did something to make me even think for a second he was a good guy.

I don't get how you could even see him as a good person with the whole shit he does and how he behaves, same for the mother.
It feels more like 'hey they are homo, so it's fine'...that you never get the choice to tell him and the mother to fuck off is what me really pissed off about this game.
IIRC there was nothing like that, not a single moment i thought what a great guy, or a good friend.

The worst thing is that I can see the MC apologizing to Damon, his mom and the mom's girlfriend, even when they were the ones that caused the protagonist's problems at the start of the game.

I agree wholeheartedly with you, but that's the impression the writing is giving me.

You never do, only that therapist, which most guess is the reason she left...but this MC is never even mad at Damon...on the contray for some unexplainable reason he is the one apologizing to his ''best friend''...

I meant meeting the mother. That Damon is the whole reason your life is in the shitter is something he tells you nearing the end...i remember the MC getting angry once and then him apologizing.
But even without that revelation Damon is just one of the most unlikable ''friends'' i have seen,

I'm paraphrasing, but when Damon admits his role in your mother leaving and walks away. MC doesn't even get a choice to say, you asshole or hit him, or even leave me alone. It's come back Damon, I love you, I forgive you.

That's sort of the point. He's presented as an absolute loathsome cunt. He's a manipulator and a shit.
But the game never treats him that way. Pretty much everyone talks about how awesome he is. The main character is never really given an option to call him out on his BS, and is always thinking about how awesome he is. Every single terrible thing he does is either waved off or justified by the writing as if it's completely understandable or acceptable. Half the time when Damon does something terrible, the main character outright blames himself for it.
The story clearly sees Damon as a good guy, even if it's utterly incapable of presenting him as one. It's "tell" versus "show".
Ironically, it's almost like a textbook abusive relationship - no matter how terrible he is, the victim just keeps making excuses. He loves me, he only hits me because I'm bad. It's my fault for being so clumsy. Etc.
It kind of feels like the dev wrote the story wanting the audience to see Damon as a good guy, and was annoyed when pretty much everyone pointed out how much of a shit he is. Which is why I wonder if the dev took it personally how many people were crapping on Damon and Naomi - especially if they were actually based on real people the dev knows, or if the dev himself was basically in the MC's role in similar events and still hasn't really come to terms with them.

I agree that the MC was passive throughout the game, even when he found out the truth at the end of episode 5. The only thing that can be said in such a weak excuse for why MC didn't fight Damon is that he was shocked by the revelation and I think that after that he probably completely lost trust in his best friend, embittered by the truth about his mother.
And in the end, when he comes to Alexandra in search of the truth, it is clear from the MC's face that he does not trust any of them anymore and the only thing he needs are answers and the truth.
I really hope that when the new episode comes out, MC will become much tougher towards those people who have been deceiving him for a long time and hiding the truth.
