People who have had to put up with an Owl see the character for what he is, one of those clingy bottom feeders who function just highly enough that you might lend them your ear out of sympathy, but they become totally dependent black holes who constantly demand your attention and support while offering less than nothing in return. And if you protest they just try to guilt you into pitying them harder.
If you think Owl did nothing wrong, then you've either been blessed by never having met one irl, or you fucking are one and should be hit with a car.
