The "nice guys" sympathise with Bear and blame Nikki. Of course they do.
As if she slept with Ian SPECIFICALLY because he wasn't nice, and avoided Bear because he was nice. Bear was nice but she only saw him as a brother, which isn't bad, but this guy said this as if sleeping with someone is the only love you could give them. Nikki was very affectionate with Bear and kind towards him. Being nice doesn't ultimately give you sex. Casual hookups are a thing, it's nothing strange and it doesn't make Nikki a bad person who deserves this torture.
Bear WAS a good representation of a "nice guy". I sympathised with him at the beginning when his cat died and when I saw how socially awkward he was. He was too scared to tell her he likes her when she asked him. He seems like the sweetest guy who only wanted his crush to like him back, but the way he worded it was actually the first red flag - "I wish Nicky Freeman loved me more than anyone in the fucking world.". Then he had sex with her while she was under the spell - that's literally rape (the whole wish itself was abuse of her mind and body). He sees her harming herself and he was just frowning at her and sitting there because she's acting crazy while he wants her to be normal, not because he's worried about her injuries. He refused to put her out of her misery when she begged out of desperation because he just wanted to own her and didn't care that the person he apparently loved was suffering.
And there WAS a girl in the group that liked Bear - Sarah. He didn't go for it because he didn't like her that way, but there was someone who actually liked Bear, their perfect "nice guy", and that someone got murdered because of his actions.
