matt johnson (the real man) has talked in interviews and clearly has intention for these characters relationship to sexuality, slash the strange lackthereof. they're sexless, theyre in arrested development, they're kids in adults bodies, matt (character) isn't conscious of the sexual designs he has on his best friend, their obliviousness to sexuality is what makes it thrilling to put them in proximity to it.

and this dynamic gives all of the jokes around sexual violence a more interesting reading i think. matt is an adult child, he is unaware and distanced from his own sexuality and sexual desires, but not sex as a concept, because he keeps making jokes or references to sexual violence. older kids used to show him their scrotums as a prank, his fake girlfriend to make jay jealous is only 13 years old, he compares jay lashing out at him because his feelings were hurt to the cycle of molestation, he makes a gay pedophile character even though its obviously making jay uncomfortable, he makes his indie film in a highschool and the plot is about killing pedophiles, and not even to mention the whole deleted scene which seems to textually just be "matt had a nonconsensual sexual experience with an adult while trick or treating as a child and jay is unaware of the implications so he laughs about it while matt looks increasingly uncomfortable", holy shit

you’re always acting
