But , There is some fundamental difference between the two. IMO
In MC case, just like he told Josy, during the "Dorm Party" : People keep wanting to Drink with me, and I let them. to summarize, essentially , every girl, Wants to have sex with MC, He just doesn't say no to them, Why he would right? Who in the right mind reject it, when Rio is like, hey I think I can make Camy to join us, would you like that? Right?. Or say no to the Quinn & Sage threesome , and etc etc
Whereas in Burke case. No one wants to Fuck with Burke, so he use Manipulation, that he disguise or rational it as some kind of "Quid pro quo". Favor for Favor. Just like ...wait for it .. Tybalt did it with Jill. I guess Tybalt did learned this from his father.
I think that is a big difference between the two approach
On the bright side, if you just discovered BaDIK and played through all of it, it's just gonna get worse ! From now on it's gonna be waiting 5-6 months for each new episode.

Oof thats gonna be a rough wait. I guess i am just going to have to do a few more playthroughs and explore the game some more
But yeah I just finished my 1st playthrough today. I was postponing playing this game, thought it was gonna be a sort generic, quick game but it completely blew away my expectations.

While Tybalt is a massive jackass I will give him this the guy aims high in fact he aims to high. He went for the hottest rich girl he knows and likely the only one talking to him, well no one is perfect( other then Josy) . But even if Jill was as short as Josy he still could not reach her pussy. The "man" try but Yoda said "do or do not there is no try" Tybalt did not

That's a tough one, isnt it ? I also dont ( wanna ) believe that Cathy had a roll in the hay with Burke, but it looks more likely than not. She semi fessed to it at the bar with Tommy.
Code:
Cathy "Why are you so mad with me?"
Jade "I'm not mad with you. I was upset, but I'm over it."
Cathy "I didn't know before going there."
Jade "I know and it doesn't matter. None of that matters now."
Cathy "You hate me."
Jade "I love you. And I'll support you, even though this is the worst thing that has happened in a very long time."
The assumption being, that when she said "I didn't know before going there.", is prob not in reference to a gym lockerroom. And then of course the "You hate me." follow up. It's not definite proof, but it strongly points towards it.
Man, it did add more weight to the suspicion; DPC was keeping it vague and left much to people's imaginations if dialogues were implying some "real actions", as they seemed more likely, the actions could range from touching and kissing to real fucking; since the conversation in gender study class happened just days before and Jade was unsure what was between the two till then. it is hard for me to accept that, Cathy, could withhold for years the reality that she fucked her bestie's husband while keeping hanging out with Jade (it's more about keeping secrets than the reality that was the hard part, I would say) the kind of behaviour only you-know-who is capable of in the game
Obviously there's plenty left open to interpretation when it comes to Jade's relationships, mostly with Stephen, Cathy, and Isabella, and I like when an author doesn't spell everything out for you. However, I think DPC has presented enough allusions that can validate certain viewpoints more than others, especially when it comes to the dynamics between Jade, Stephen, and Cathy. To me, some of them even seem crystal clear.
Maybe I'm wrong about some of this, but here is The Jade/Stephen/Cathy Situation as I see it:
She made her first move on the MC after Gender Studies in Episode 2:
It came from an attraction to the MC, but she also justified it as a reciprocation to someone else's behavior, although we didn't learn more about that last part until later.
It's "later," and we find out details about the friction between Jade and Stephen in their Episode 3 Intro fight:
I don't see what the confusion is here. Several things are obvious to me here. Two I'll mention now, and one later.
First, Jade hadn't cheated on Stephen up to this point. Jade: "Yes! With each other! Not on our own!"
And second, he cheated with three students. No, he didn't admit to it, but as some folks here have already pointed out, if he didn't have sex with students, he absolutely would have denied it.
Jade further explains her marriage troubles to the MC in Episode 4:
As Jade admitted, there's no evidence that anything happened between Stephen and Cathy, and she chose to ignore it for the sake of her friendship. Likewise, I think Cathy feels as strongly about their friendship that I don't think she would have an affair with Stephen.
Later, Jade says a little more during the bath in the same episode: (Damn, I would love to be lying in that tub with her instead of the MC)
Even though it is not explicitly mentioned, I don't think it takes a great leap here to infer that Cathy assumes Jade is mad because she sought consolation from Isabella instead of Jade after her nudes were published. They are not talking about any supposed affair Cathy had with Stephen. What Cathy "didn't know" was Stephen's lust for Isabella and Jade's resulting jealousy "before going there" (i.e., Isabella's home). And "the worst thing that has happened in a very long time" is the release of Cathy's nude pictures.
Seems simple to me.
Now, the implied friction between Jade and Isabella is the least explained in the story, so I won't outline much of an interpretation, other than to say:
I think Jade's dislike of Isabella results from jealousy that her husband is very open about his desires for Isabella. This is evidenced in the fight dialogue:
He has a thing for Isabella because he keeps mentioning her.
She is jealous of Isabella because he keeps mentioning her.
I can't fully guess as to Isabella's apparent dislike of Jade (although she never outright admitted not liking her), but I will say she has her own reasons, justifiable or not.
Some final points that are actually side notes. A couple of interesting things were said during the motel scene in Episode 8:
First, I'm not the first to mention there is a distinct possibility of an MC/Jade/Cathy threesome whispered here. I'm just throwing my name into that particular prediction pool.
And second, wouldn't it be some great entertainment to see what happens if, during the act of masturbating next to Stephen while fantasizing about the MC, Jade actually calls out the MC's name just as Stephen did to her with Cathy?
Embrace the madness, think up wild theories to pass the time.
I myself am working on a thesis regarding the connection between Sage’s biological parents and Jill’s horse. It’s really a derivation of my previous work entitled “Did Jill’s horse birth any of the central Love Interests?”.
Plot Twist: Burke is a misunderstood character and is actually the nicest/coolest guy around, while Derek is actually the bad guy behind the shadows and is a cartel druglord.
Cathy has never appeared in my MC's wet dream (so I still have two locked scenes in EP1 and EP2) and I didn't swipe up on her after a failed manwhore run. I hope people don't get offended Last time I tried to be honest and unprovocative, saying I was avoiding Quinn and intentionally lost the cumpetition; there were some getting triggered; I was patronised and ridiculed, assigned to the 'Maya fanboy' club I miss those times
Don't worry... I just bathed your straw figure in blood so you've got NOTHING to worry about Cat has it's own path... if you wanna complete the game you will have to go " there " as well
While Tybalt is a massive jackass I will give him this the guy aims high in fact he aims to high. He went for the hottest rich girl he knows and likely the only one talking to him
In itself a good contribution. Except for one thing.
If Stephen had said yes in this situation, it would have had disastrous consequences for him.
If Stephen had said no, Jade would not have believed him, because she had already made up her mind.
Stephen had only one option in this situation, and that was to say nothing.
(That's what Emma said to Zoey, too. A liar will always lie, only Zoey and Bret didn't lie. Bret basically reacted the same way Stephen did. He just didn't answer Emma when she asked him if he fucked Zoey).
The MC actually explained it best to Jill and Isabella. People can get caught up in something that just isn't true, and that's exactly what Jade did.
Stephen even went into the one about Jade's college girls.
Jade: "Young college girls, Stephen! Is that what you need?"
Jade: "Do you need a brand-new model to handle your shriveled cock!?" Stephen: "What are you saying? Isabella is almost our age." Jade: "AGAIN WITH ISABELLA!"
Plot Twist: Burke is a misunderstood character and is actually the nicest/coolest guy around, while Derek is actually the bad guy behind the shadows and is a cartel druglord.
Funny thing is I had my doubts about Burke and in fact thought the other “Dr Burke” was the ringleader.
I did a playthrough to double check the facts that unfortunately largely disproved it (if Quinn can be trusted) but I really liked the idea that Jade was the “Dr Burke” that was behind Quinn and the restaurant. She had access, she was involved with the scholarship scheme that seems to fund the girls. It wasn’t insane she was behind it.
I thought it would have been a nice twist. That the feminist teacher was the mastermind behind a prostitution ring. If the game only ever referred to Burke by a gender neutral title it could have applied to either. The Mona scene could have been him actively trying to undermine his wife’s operation.
Burke being the “good guy” trying to cover up his wife’s activities whilst protecting the girls would have been one hell of a twist. But like I said the game is pretty clear that it’s Stephen.

Have you considered maybe Stephen fucked Pink Rose Grils in the VIP room instead of college girls? Maybe Stephen is also the father of Envy/Nicole's kid? What if he also fucked Lily, for example, who came to college later?
What if Mona made some money at the Pink Rose before college (dancing only, no VIP room) and that's why Stephen approached Mona at the preps party?
Best to dial it back and get some MORE intel before headin' into the ( Madames ) black hole Theories are valid but no way to prove or dispute Hopefully EP9 will help out... although I have my doubt it will happen before season 3 end...
, He just doesn't say no to them, Why he would right? Who in the right mind reject it, when Rio is like, hey I think I can make Camy to join us, would you like that? Right?
