For entire story so far I didn't even think for second that any of gay character is somehow privileged by DPC here. I would say he did great job to treat them exactly the same as non-gay characters, no one here is worse or better.
Totally disagree. Maya is an awful character, that spend the time whining and waiting that someone fix her problems, and DPC pretends that she's a positive character and players should care about her drama. Chad and troy are awful characters. Chad is a violent guy that fools Sage and treats her like shit, and attacks MC. Troy treats MC like shit when they are roommates, and DPC pretends that the player feels sympathy about them because they are gay, instead of making they a couple of Tybals or Dawes, only good for some laughs.
Sage was in love with him, not sure you were once in love but emotions do not go away just like that. She didn't sympathize him more because he is gay and this is 2023 but because she has great empathy and she finally found lost puzzle in whole story.
Totally disagree. Love and hate are different sides of the same coin. After being cheated and fooled for at least two years, the most logical reaction from a girl like Sage, that has pride, is to hate Chad, not to feel empathy. Why should she feel empathy because he's gay, and not if he just would have found another girl that loves more than Sage?
Again, empathy. If this will go out to public Chad's and Troy's lifes will be hell, that's how the world works for now and MC has no reason or benefit in this to happen. MC does not hate Chad nor Chad hates him, there is just some testosterone-war between DIKs and Alphas but no one really wants to destroy anyone's life there. Thats why MC could stand up for Chad while talking with Burke and that's why Chad calmed down his Alpha friend at the HOTs party telling him that MC is ok.
And that he was worried about Sage reaction? Lol, what else did you expect, MC is not Tommy-like-asshole. She is his friend and not sure if you know how women feel in this kind of situations, that is not an easy one. They take it very personally and self-esteem goes all way down.
What MC should be worried is about Sage's feelings and well-being. She's his friend or his lover, and Chad is nobody for MC. The guy that attacked him in the middle of the night. But he's worried about Chad, if Sage's reaction is going to be good or bad for Chad. That's absurd.
No, she wants to help her because she is good person with great empathy. Also they all became friends with MC as binder and if Josy, MC or even Derek would be in the same situatuon, I'm sure she would help in the same way.
Yeah, she's a good person with great empathy... That's why she blackmails MC with her stolen guitar to make him spy for her a dangerous guy like Chad after seeing the alphas attack MC in the corridors. She knows that MC probably will be hurt but she just doesn't care. But suddenly, she remembers that she's adopted, and wants to help someone... What about MC when she sees him attacked by the alphas in the corridor because he helped her when Chad was being an asshole with her in the cafeteria? What about the other HOTs? She's living in a sorority in which the girls are prostituting themselves... Doesn't she know that some of her sisters have serious money problems? She's so good person and has so much empathy, that she didn't realized that some of her sisters, girls that she knows for years, have money problems... But suddenly, she's totally worried about Maya... It doesn't make sense. DPC made an awful presentation of Sage, and all the subplot of her helping Maya is crap. It would been better to skip it and go directly with Jill's help. She's the good girl in B&R and she knows Maya via Josy.
She was emotionally devastated and she was sorry to everyone after that, to MC, to Maya for not being there at theirs hell week, to Sara and Melanie for accusations etc. Again, emotions were very real here and if you do not get it you either are young and didn't see how life works or you are extremelly ignorant in case of emotions and empathy. MC is in no danger, she knew he can defend himself and it was his choice to help her. Anyway, she took care of him after fight with jocks and was worry about him. Nonetheless she was still good person, regardless of circumstances.
I think you are really young or naive. MC is in total danger. He's not fucking superman, and she doesn't even know that he can fight before the fight with Dawe, and he's injured in that fight. Of course he's in danger, and Sage doesn't care about that until she sees the consequences of her acts: MC injured because of her. MC agrees to help her because she blackmails him with his stolen guitar. Again, that's and awful presentation of Sage's character. DPC should redone all those scenes.
You cannot save entire world. If you want to change it, start with your closest environment. She was mad because of her father who told her it is possible, yet at the end he said it is not. She really wanted to help somehow and even all of them told her not to take blame on her, she took it anyway because she cares. You really do not get the whole situation here and it is hard to explain whole multi-character concept here but Chad had to be responsible for his doings (hitting MC in public) and Maya did nothing wrong here, she didn't choose father on her own you know.
Sage thought "My dad is the guy that gives scholarships, so I'm going to get one for my friend, deserves it or not." And of course didn't think if she's avoiding that other person with real needs (Maya comes from a wealthy family) is not going to get a scholarship next year. Obviously, if you give scholarship to one person, another one won't have it. And why Maya? She has been living with Riona for at least a year... With Sarah, with Mel... Camila has at least the same problems with the tuition. She's doing blowjobs in bathrooms for money for god sake! Does she never talked with them about how she pays her tuition? Since she's so emphatic and good person... Its what emphatic and good people do.
Why Maya? Because she whines more? Because she's a victim of "heteropatriarchy"? She didn't give a shit about Maya when she was a "daughter" and Quinn was torturing her, but suddenly... DPC needed for the plot, that Sage would feel deeply concerned about Maya even if it doesn't make sense so... suddenly Sage is a good and emphatic person... Again, I love the character, but a lot of things are awfully written. She's a bitch the first few episodes, and then she's a "good and emphatic person". It doesn't make sense. Actually, there are a lot of things with Sage that, sadly, doesn't make sense. Like to continue being the girlfriend of an impotent gay man for years, being a girl so interested in sex, experienced and adventurous, even if Chad is the "popular guy" of B&R and being her girlfriend was a matter of status in campus.
