Sure Maya let fuckface stay in her dorm but that doesn't mean she can sexually molest him while he sleep.
Nearly 4 years and people are still bitching about this.
Lies about having a boyfriend
Women do this all the time as a defensive measure to ward off male advances, it's nothing unusual or something to get in such a state over. Also she very quickly recanted which shows her that she acknowledged her mistake and wanted to remedy it.
hide the fact that her father is religious bigots
I mean, how many people irl would really bring this up to a complete stranger?
cheated on her gf(after meeting a guy for idk few days? Atleast Josy knew MC longer and both of them had a crush on eachother)
But Josy was crushing on him from the moment she saw him, she just never had an opportunity to do anything about it until later because the MC was too shy to approach her.
With Maya, the opportunity to do something was there, plus, things developed very quickly between them because they were in daily contact with each other.
Guarantee that if she had the opportunity early like this, Josy would have been all over the MC.
She doesn't even treat Josy right if you are not dating them.
We really don't see what they're like much together outside of the throuple path, and most of the time they're both acting out of frustration.
Josy's also not exactly treating Maya right either because she's still pining for the MC and that's affecting their relationship.
I don't care if Maya has a problem or not but she is a fictional bad person. I couldn't really stay friends with someone like her.
Ps- I don't give af if she was manipulated or coerced into that shit. What she did is simply wrong and I don't think I will ever like her.
Maya is not a bad person, not by a long shot. None of her actions come from a bad place and she is not acting with bad intent. She's honestly one of the strongest characters in this game because despite what her Dad has and is putting her through, she's still standing, still fighting and still soldiering on. She was willing to put herself through uncomfortable things for the sake of her relationship by joining the HOTs. She spent so much time in S1 doing what she did for her and Josy, all the while Josy was thinking about leaving Maya, either by moving to another to part of the country, or dumping her for the MC.
It's only after she thinks that Josy has given up on her that she really embraces what she was feeling for the MC, and even thinking that the "tuition" would no longer benefit both her and Josy, Maya still determines to join the HOTs for herself believing it can still free her from Patrick.
Her fortitude despite her adversity is something I feel a lot of people overlook.
