I think the clash you're having with others re: Quinn is because you're relying on a premise that's not necessarily true: that Quinn is only out for herself. By no means is Quinn a good person, but she's not all bad either, which frankly, just makes her human. And as far as I know, the only humans who are truly incapable of loving others are like... psychopaths, and I definitely don't think Quinn is a psychopath.If she were a real person, I'd have said I don't know why. But she's a fictional character written by DPC with the intention of providing a specific plot point, which you're buying into. It is obvious that in-fiction she's changing because of MC and possibly 'falling for him'.
But I'm not arguing against what's happening, I'm saying that logically it doesn't make sense considering her character as someone who's only out for herself. Suspension of disbelief is broken for me. It wouldn't bother me if it was done realistically, but as it is it's very jarring and implausible.
Plus, it seems like Quinn's had a shitty life and is used to being treated harshly; depending on the choices you make, MC doesn't treat her harshly. In fact, MC can be really, really kind to her. He treats her differently than most people do, and kind of pushes the boundaries she's set to keep people at a distance, which could definitely be enough to soften her sharp edges, which could lead to her developing feelings for him.
Again, it's not about what's better or worse for her, it's about how fucked up it would be to out Chad for the sake of Sage's self-esteem.As she said, she has felt less attractive since she broke up with Chad, because she is super sexy, beautiful, etc., and he changed her for another girl. So what is worse for her? To think that he changed her for a better girl, or that he changed her for a man because she couldn't satisfy him as a woman?
