Chad is a major asshole and basically one of the worst characters in the game, but let's just hug and support him because he is gay. If he was sleeping around with women, or one of the more nefarious HOTs people would be up in arms to ruin the guy, but he is sleeping with Troy, so it's alright.
You people seem to forget that Chad didn't only use Sage as a clueless cover for his own insecurities, probably he also threw Troy under the bus recently. Troy was an Alpha, but was kicked out, as far as I know no one mentioned the reason, which was probably because he is gay and the cavemen of the Alphas couldn't handle that... but I guess I forgot that Chad is also gay, so that makes everything fine, we should just offer him our support and talk like civilized people, even tho that selfish piece of shit only understands the language of violence.
That being said, I wouldn't out him, but also I would definitely not offer him a hand in support just because he is gay. The next time he tries something I'd just let him know that he should mind his own business first before he dares to even think about insulting or hurting others. Call that blackmailing or whatever, but he deserves nothing more in my eyes.
I feel like you're going out of your way to miss my point. You're making a SHIT TON of assumptions about Chad, ignoring his circumstances (and the circumstances surrounding the fight he got into with MC after he found those photos by the door), and just generally making a weak argument. "I wouldn't out him, but I'd threaten to out him" means that you
know outing him is wrong because you'd try to use it as a weapon. Also, emotional manipulation/blackmailing is
also a form of violence, and it appears to be your kneejerk reaction, but like... yeah, go awf about Chad freaking out when pics of him with his secret gay lover/boyfriend/whatever Troy's title is to Chad are left on the doorstep of his probably homophobic frat house and -- (wrongly) believing MC was the one behind it -- fighting him (and eventually crying).
I just -- *sigh*
This is a game and not reality.
DPC has linked the game for Chad so that you can help him or not. The fact is, if you don't help Chad and Sage find Chad's affair, it will be bad for Maya.
Justification: In EP7, Sage is under the false suspicion that Mel is Chad's new flame. As a result, she no longer trusts her HOT sisters and Maya's help is in jeopardy. If the MC now keeps his promise and Sage learns that it is Troy and maybe Mel is Troy's sister, Sage will change her mind for the better.
Qué? "Maya's help is in jeopardy"... WHERE? Sage's situation re: Chad and Maya's situation (which still makes minimal sense to me, but oh well) are NOT related, at all. And at the end of the most recent episode, Sage is already offering to help Maya somehow... Also, what promise are you even referring to? I told Sage to let that shit go after confirming Chad was cheating.
I'm not sure why you included that first sentence about a game vs. reality. I think games can -- and probably should -- address things like sexuality responsibly, and there hasn't been anything in the game about helping Chad or not helping Chad
when it comes to his sexuality yet so I'm not sure what you're talking about. Sage already knows Chad cheated, learning
who he cheated with really doesn't have many advantages. Hell, most of the time, knowing who just makes shit feel worse. But
even if finding out that Chad was cheating with a man is somehow beneficial, I'm still not sure how Sage finding out would impact how she feels about helping Maya, who knows literally nothing about the Chad situation.
I like Jill's model but she drives me up the fucking wall, I couldn't hang with her IRL.
Jill's personality is a weird combination of weak-willed, naive, and self-righteous. I'm not even sure how she manages to be both, but she is. Literally all of her interactions with Tybalt stem from the idea that he's a nice guy, but he's pretty much an elitist asshole who thinks he's entitled to Jill's attention, so that's naive. Her willingness to go along with the weird blackmail scheme (which, and I cannot reiterate this enough, is weird af for
so many reasons) shows she's weak-willed. And the fact that you lose points with Jill if you protect Chad in the office/get upset with her for reporting the fight without asking MC if that's okay shows she's self-righteous. I guess maybe she's just... too nice for her own good?
