Welcome to the club.
You make me think about it, and yeah, trashing each other house is a step to far. But the other things in the list, with some of them there are nothing wrong, with others is just youngish behaviour.
Like: we said tresspasing couse we are talking from a legal perspective, but to get in a party without invitation couse you want to talk with some girls, yeah, not a problem for me.
Or like the phone talking with Jill... well the problem there is that you call a virgin girl that has feelings for you (that you provoke) so you can get info so you can have a party with stripers. Yeah, thats being an ashole. But the regular kind of ashole we are couse is a porn game. If Jill is just your friend, to get some info without giving your reasons, nothing wrong.
Other things are in a greay zone. Like taking the drone. If they give it back is ok.
The "social justice" thing... well besides the joke, that has some political implications... At least I will not call them inocents. I understand people who disagree.
I don't really care about the judicial aspect, I don't think there is a threat of a real trial.
I'm interested in the moral aspect. Tybalt's advice not to hang out with Mc is very good advice, then of course it is tainted by Tybalt's real goal. But Jill, has several reasons why she shouldn't hang out with MC anymore, who does very little to deserve her trust in several episodes including the Preps party.
Of course I'm talking in the case of a MC interested in Jill, who only phones her to prepare for the Preps' raid, when he meets her that evening he tells her nothing and waits for Tybalt to detonate the bomb.
Then from the blackmail onwards Jill promptly regains ground and at that point it should be Mc to avoid her, and instead the poor guy who has never had a TV decides to declare himself to her....
Not sure I'd go for polarizing - I just don't see how you arrive at that conclusion?
Josy:
Was the one who initiated getting closer to MC suggesting the ride home and the date.
Invited MC for netflix and chill when her parents were out of town.
Was the 'leader' not the 'lead' in the camping flashback.
Up and ran from home with next to no money to attend B&R
Didn't back down to Quinn
and depending on your choices she's very much forward physically and will give Tommy a kicking if you wuss out.
The only time she's been 'submissive' and on the backfoot was during the M&J reveal and relationship up to the Library scene. I'd put that down to her one seeming weakness in that Josy doesn't thrive on being alone and left out.
As for Maya being an Alpha.............That'd be the same Maya who's been a plaything for Quinn, hostage to her dad, afraid to reveal her sexuality and on and on.
I'm not sure she even qualifies as Beta and is probably way back in Charlie.
EDIT: I'm not being a Maya hater but each girl fulfills a role in the game and where Jill is the refined young lady who you must despoil and turn into a woman, Maya is for the white knights who need to rescue a princess.
Maya for me is only Alpha in the troupe...
but Josy is never even vaguely so....
the first characteristic should be to be assertive and tend to make decisions for themselves and others.
In the relationship with MC, Josy is indecisive to paradoxical levels " I'm busy but I want to see you again" "how nice to hear from you, but I shouldn't have called you" " goodbye, but why don't you stay over?"
then she is punished like a little girl for a week without a phone and after that she decides to react like a little girl, running away to go to college... running away from a father who loves her and whom she loves...
On the famous evening of her arrival at BR, she runs away first and hides in the bathroom....
when the father comes to visit she is afraid to face him....
the only alpha act is to face Quinn, that she doesn't know anyway and that has no power on her (unlike Maya, that is true that she is a toy in Quinn's hands, but she is forced to suffer for the mirage of free tuition)
from the arrival to the BR onwards she practically suffers any decision, she goes in the troupe if Maya feels like it, otherwise she suffers and then she unloads the blame on the girl, at the picnic she listens and nods...
Josy has a few spurts of courage (with Quinn, with Tommy) but in general she suffers even more than Maya, who at least has to deal with more or less real problems, Josy just endures
