What's the difference between Maya and Quinn? Simple, you can largely avoid Quinn and her problems. Maya, you are completely stuck with her, rather you like the character or not.
exactly. and it's not just maya. these unavoidable things in the game is what I don't like that much
but as annoying as maya can be sometimes, dealing with her problems is still less annoying than being forced to ask that insecure annoying rat who keeps poking her nose into your business out to a date. where you play fucking tennis! I don't know which of the two I hate more. skip. "this did not go well for a first date" well thank fuck I might be out of this shit.
also noone speaks about having to spy on chad for sage. fuck you bitch, go into the gym and spy on your own. that's my fucking guitar and I ain't doing shit for you just because you graciously let me take back my property.
oh look, a dinner with a teacher (librarian, whatever, still a teacher). great, that's what I need, missing out on getting drunk with my fraternity cause I want some random teacher to think well of me? think I'll pass, thx. HAVING TO kiss her in her house? eh? cmon.
oh, I have to lose my clothes so quinn and camilla can abuse me in the bathroom? well how about a fuck no? I got the panties, Imma gtfo.
and so on.
what would be left of the story if we could skip on everything?
yeah, quinn is the "antagonist" but I believe a DIK MC would just tell her to fuck off instead of losing his clothes.
and how would you know you don't want to do anything with jill if you didn't... couldn't even make myself finish that sentence. go mind your own business, rat.
as for bella... well, you wouldn't know she has any dirty laundry if you weren't forced to that date and ended up at her place
but everyone is annoyed about having to deal with maya, a central character in the story from the beginning. she showed you around, she took you in her room (thanks to derek, sure, but you're living with her). you don't like her? well good! now enjoy her help around the campus and the warmth of the other bed in her room
when you take into consideration the kinds of problems every character has, I don't think anyone has it as hard as maya does. of course her entire life keeps spinning around those problems.
and in the end, everyone ends up hating the chick who (for most of the time) reacts like a normal person would in that sort of situation, while cherishing a chick who deals drugs, pimps her sorority and treats MC like a piece of trash just because she can.
I get it, it's a game, but try putting yourself into the story. how much of you would/could actually handle/tolerate a bitch like quinn IRL? and if you had the same type of problems maya does, would you be cheerful about it? would you not be thinking about it 24/7 and looking for a way out?
it's understandable that everyone has their own preferences and (dis)likes certain characteristics in people. but actively bashing* a character over the last 50 pages just because you dislike it... jesus christ.
I agree with the "maya haters"/"anti maya lobby" (however you wanna call them), maya definitely could have handled some situations better but so could every character in the story. those idiotic choices in various situations are why the story keeps going. otherwise everyone would be holding hands happily by the end of season 1
ok, maybe I got a bit too far into defending maya here but my point was - it's a story. however DPC writes it, we're here to go through it and affect it to our liking as much as we're given the chance. even if we have to be forced on dates with certain characters AHEM
*again, not to be confused with smashing
