Both of you haven't provided any relevant arguments, just constantly repeated some imaginated or exaggerated conjectures.
The Glorious LIME
1. Josy is a whore, yeah, for real, is she joined the prostitution ring? Or she acts like a half of the HOTs which are really and literally the whores?
"Cheating" on her girlfriend because of unclear relationship prospects and vague prospects with college is this now called whore behavior? Maya did the same, btw. They just told only the half of truth to MC. Josy told MC that she is occupied already, while Maya told him first she had a boyfriend, then she told that she don't have a boyfriend (perhaps already mentally "letting go" of Josy at that moment). Josy was more honest, she warned and admitted in front of MC that it was cheating. While Maya pretended that she was no longer in any relationship. Yes, she didn't got that vital couple of minutes to tell it to MC, finally, but nevertheless. Just following the raw facts, who was more honest and admitted things openly? Maya never said and mentioned word "cheating" even in her inner throughts. But even so I don't blame her too. They both had reasons to act how they did it.
And none of MGs could be called "whores" because it's lie. Following by the game plot, following by the facts, etc. They just can't be them physically or the NTR army will eat this game and it's author with shit together.
2. whUt? Probably she just only expresses her throughts and feelings openly? Why should she be silent? Omissions and understatement always leads to a bigger problems than honesty, at the same time she wants to hear MC's thoughts on the same subject and we have the right to answer her as we want. And the MC also gets a "reaction" and consequences to his actions - if he has already made his choice with one of other MGs, then TC counter encreases according to MCs words.
Why you didn't mentioned the scenes in EP5 and EP7 where she expresses why it's so?
If we assume that she realized that she was unhappy with Maya (this also partly depends on our actions and choices, at least with all possible help), then why doesn't she have the right to think or just ask a question and get an opinion from someone who is she still interested in?
According to the plot in the friend zone, Josy & Maya are left alone with each other and the MC is not around to smooth out problems in their relationship. That is why in the EP9 we already openly have a choice to "defuse the situation" or let them "continue the argument and squabbles"
Josy acts predictably, because she openly expresses her feelings and emotions. Maya is an introvert and she keeps everything to herself. But we still have a choice of "feelings for" and all this is done by DPC for a reason. If Maya doesn't say something, it doesn't mean that she doesn't think about it. Compared even to Jill, she hadn't a lot of scenes and dialogues with her inner thoughts, although it would seem there should be a lot of them, given by her nature.
3. EP3 end / EP4 beginning? She was shocked for a couple of reasons, and Maya too, and MC too, as well.
Most people can't control themselves at such moments, emotions overwhelm you, your brain shuts down, you start talking and doing stupid things. Add here their age (which also implies life and wise experience), subtext and the whole shaft of problems behind their backs and voila. No one expected that their meeting would be like this. MC runs away in anger and resentment (although he is not a saint himself), while they begin to regret in their own way that they did not tell the truth. The reasons and so on, I think it makes no sense to list, it has already been discussed 1000 times.
ProxyGist
1. toxicity? any relevant examples? or just a bla-bla-bla? She is supportive person and quite kind to everyone, even in situations when she shouldn't be and do so. Look at Becky, Sarah and Mel, Quinn, Sally, Tybalt. That's how toxicity looks.
2. all people are manipulative by the nature. And females especially. It's the nature, it's the reality. She can hardly be called outstanding in doing this. At least when compared to other game characters and LIs. She has her weaknesses and cons, but who doesn't?
3. What you'll say if she will do it soon or later? We as players can encourage her thoughts regarding her unhappiness with Maya or cool that down. As I said above, the fact that Maya doesn't talk to MC in the same way accused to her personality and because she is introvert. That doesn't mean that Maya can't have or doesn't have a similar thoughts.
