AND especially since we the players were forced to get into a relationship with HER if we wanted to date Josy.
I can see how Josy fans - especially those that have not much fondness for Maya - would be displeased with being forced into this situation.
People who are fans of neither Josy nor Maya tend to lump the "pair or nothing" situation under the same roof. The whole Maya-MC thing has been debated to death so I won't get into that. However, the MC-Josy dynamic was very different and just lumping her there by association does Josy a disservice.
Josy is way more upfront, consistent in what she says and not afraid to make decisions. In fact, she had already made the decision to
pick the MC over her current relationship even before she got together with the MC in her parents bedroom...and she said so.
And she was telling the truth. When she learned that she got in, she did indeed call the MC first to ask to stay with him not Maya. It is not her fault that the MC was a campus hobo. Additionally, promises were made during that call.
A promise she still intended to keep even after showing up at the dorm when she texted the MC to meet her in the restroom.
It was the MC who reneged on his promise by getting into a hissy fit and storming away instead of listening.
i.e. Josy told us from the very first date that she was in a relationship. By the second date she made it clear that she was picking the MC and then she tried hard to make the pair-up happen. If anything, the obstacles were all from the MC's side.
I really disliked the fact that we got them in a pair instead of letting us choose what we want, if we either want to break up or be with both of them or just one.
While I agree that for those that only wanted Josy, being able to pick her w/o Maya should have been an option (or vice versa), the crux of the matter is that
DPC needs to keep Josy and Maya together (for now) whether that be with or without the MC.
He still has a lot of plot to go regarding the "Maya's Dad vs lesbians" drama - which would kind of be torpedoed if MC took Josy away and left Maya with neither an existing lesbian relationship to hide from dad nor therefore an immediate need to seek an alternate source for her tuition money. Thus, we got the choice that we got in the library, unfortunately.
