No it's not a misconception. Josy is the bolder one. There is only one case where she is not , the piercing.I take my cue from what you have written, which is always interesting, to reiterate a conviction of mine
the idea that Josy is the brave one of the two is a collective misconception. in both big and small things, Maya is the one who takes risks, sometimes in a completely unconscious way, but in the end she does, going far beyond the stereotype of the introverted girl.
Of course with the fact that Maya ends up facing challenges beyond her reach, she ends up relying completely on those around her, but she always accepts the challenge.
p.s. the "no string attached" is a retcon, it has nothing to do with what happens before and after, it's only meant to warn the players that the ending was still very far away and in case to convince them to get into trouble
Maya theoretically faces them alone, only she would be doomed to failure.No it's not a misconception. Josy is the bolder one. There is only one case where she is not , the piercing.
I have respect for Maya, for try to do things to achieve her goals, but let's not kid ourself, Without MC and Josy, she would fail, She would not go through with it. It is easier to her to make some bold choice when Josy and MC are the one who she has in her corner, but alone she would have failed, Maybe Josy would too but
Maya was not even Cunning enough to even considering cheating. Josy was. With or without MC help, Josy is the one who comes up with the idea to trick Quinn. the relationship between Maya and Josy exist because of Josy, She made the move on her.
The public Sex also not freaking Josy out at all, so does the pool sex, She is the one who even suggest it in the first place. so between the two of them Josy generally the more bold one. This is not a misconception it is a Fact.
Ya know... that scene in the bar with Jade shit-talkin' Bella really pissed me off.What about Bella makes her stand out as pure? She's trying to fuck her best friends guy and she's cheating on her husband with the MC.
I'm gonna slap you in the Face .Maya theoretically faces them alone, only she would be doomed to failure.
Just the piercing? I don't think so.
Even sexually with MC she only lets go when she thinks it's going to be a goodbye, so no consequences. That's not courage.
when she finds Mc in Maya's room she runs to the bathroom to avoid the truth coming out (well before MC...)
she does not confront him in person, but only via messages (Maya confronts him in person, in a public place)
I don't consider the picnic, because that's DPC talking and not Maya, but even there Josy nods in the background.
She, in the case, hides behind Maya's reaction to justify not saying anything on the famous night of the big decision.
she still needs MC to face a father who loves her (in comparison poor Maya...)
all Josy's courage runs out in sex and kicking Tommy (someone who certainly could not hit her back) in the balls, doesn't seem much to me. she has other qualities, she's smart, outgoing, but I wouldn't call her brave.
There might be a fight between Chad and the MC when the MC sees the pictures being blackmailed. This could be resolved in EP8. Guess why Josy dragged the MC to the gym?I just saw your post. I didn't know the locker room MC sneaked inside to spy on Chad is different than the one Chad/Troy kiss in. Seems a strange set up for a small school gym but ok I'll go with it. (All the more reason for DPC to work on a B&R map for us and shore up those damn free roam movement arrows while he is at it) Still risky as hell to kiss anywhere in the campus gym and I still think anyone could walk in, even if by mistake. And what the fuck is with those doors? Are they silent doors or is Chad partially deaf? They never make a sound! Come to think of it, does MC move like a ninja? Chad never hears him approach.
If we pick up the story in ep. 8 with Chad noticing MC, he is really going to flip. Could be another fight because even if MC helped him at Burke's inquisition, Chad has to be getting paranoid again about MC following him. This is the second time MC (out of all people on campus) has caught Chad in flagrante delicto.
Not me. I barely even know the meaning of the word!I know, the feeling , I keep warning people about Jill, but her simps are maintaining their denial. Thinking something like "That's not true" or "Udvariatlan!"
I agree. My reaction to Josy coming in at the end of Ep 3 was laughter. And I think if I were MC irl I would have fallen down laughing even harder. So the whole Chapter 4 reaction made no sense to me.Because ep 4 the Josy Maya part, is pure utter Garbage. There is no better word of it, it is the weakest shit in the entire game along with the Tybalt blackmail, and the choice between Jill and Sage.
The whole shit could have been solver right there in that moment when Josy arrive, but even if MC storms out of room.Josy and Maya not have a single conversation about WTF just happened and why, and they conveniently wait until the end of the episode. BULLSHIT HORRIBLE execution of a conclusion of a drama.

Do not argue. Josy and Maya have their good and bad sides. But they will never reach 100% in two. They have the MC for that.Oh and another thing felicemastronzo . And this will be a Rant, I already apologize for it .
Ep 4 cannot be used to prop up to Maya or use it against Josy and vice versa.
Because ep 4 the Josy Maya part, is pure utter Garbage. There is no better word of it, it is the weakest shit in the entire game along with the Tybalt blackmail, and the choice between Jill and Sage.

BULLSHIT HORRIBLE execution of a conclusion of a drama.
Ironically, after ep 4, The Josy and Maya Stuff is back on track, regardless if it is the friendship path, or the threesome path, the scenes with them are good, the story is good, everything is fine. But how we get there, was horrible.
The same with the Tybalt blackmail, ep 6 was shit, but ep 7 made it Funny, thanks to Bella. and if its end with Jill kicks Tybalt's nuts, I say it was worth it.
The choice between Jill and Sage, is still shit, but this could also change in episode 8.
These 3 thing was easily the weakest part of the game.
sorry for my Rant
I was surprised you used that word, that is a hungarian wordNot me. I barely even know the meaning of the word!
I only played first 4 episodes (I'm waiting for the full second season), but I completely agree with the part about Maya and Josy. It's full of bullshit, zero logic, I just hate this partOh and another thing felicemastronzo . And this will be a Rant, I already apologize for it .

Just to be clear, I do not have problem with Josy and Maya being together and etc, or even with the ending of episode 3 when Josy arrive. I just don't like how episode 4 handled them.I only played first 4 episodes (I'm waiting for the full second season), but I completely agree with the part about Maya and Josy. It's full of bullshit, zero logic, I just hate this part
I was going to say "Hogy mersz" but I wasn't sure if I was translating it right.I was surprised you used that word, that is a hungarian word
