Actually I want her even more because she banged a lot of guys. And I don't think she's dumb she's just pretending to be.

I’d like your comment but I’m out of reactions. More power to you, I respect your opinion even if I find your taste questionable :KEK:
I think Arieth really IS dumb and it makes her super funny :ROFLMAO:
She is with Tybalt, Dawe and Anthony one of the major sources of comedy in BaD.

God, I am so fucking sick of people making excuses for the ignorance of a generation that practically grew up with a device in their hand that's connected to the accumulated knowledge of the entire fucking world.

Even so, they don’t know fuck-all about how to access that accumulated knowledge.

First of all, people don’t read. If it’s any longer than five paragraphs, they respond TL: DR—as if it’s a valid criticism; “You gave me too much data, so try again.” They don’t read articles unless they can do so in less than 2 minutes. They don’t read books. I’ve lost count of how many “bible-believing Christians” don’t know jack shit about bible.

Second they don’t know how to research. “I did my own research” nowadays means they Googled something, then used their own goddamn confirmation bias to gauge whether these were good sources. Even when you teach them how not to do that, that particular bit of knowledge goes flying out the window if they have a big enough bug up their ass. “I don’t believe everything I read” means “I don’t believe anything I don’t want to believe,” not “I apply cautious skepticism to everything.”

I can say this about every generation, not just zoomers. But zoomers don’t know any better. They’ve watched their forebears fuck this up constantly, so of course they don’t. Sometimes they learn better. And sometimes they refuse to learn better, and help contribute to Idiocracy becoming reality.

As far as the ever increasing numbers that was only in the last week in game. The other issue being that Maya and Josy are dead set on not coming out publicly. Yes this is them causing their own problems to continue but people make poor choices, it happens.
Click to expand...
no, the number has been steadily increasing. first just Maya, then MC was added (in the second/third chapter when he learns about the problem), then Josy was added with the resolution of the scavenger hunt, then Sage was added, around the sixth chapter, trying to solve the problem with a scholarship from Burke, then in the ninth chapter Jill was added who proposed the help of the family lawyer, and in the last chapter Bella was added, for no particular reason but just to put all the LIs in the same room.

the fact that Maya doesn't want her affair with Josy to be public as long as Patrick's threat endures makes sense, a secret to remain a secret is best known by as few people as possible, and both DIKS and HOTs are not among the most trustworthy people. while the question of how other students would judge them makes very little sense, at worst they wouldn't care, at best they would think it interesting

A throuple breakup, imo, isn't a certainty though it's definitely a possible outcome, DPCs previous game addressed the idea of a throuple, and this game walks you right into one from the start, as if he wants to explore the dynamic. I think it's likely that it will be possible to sustain it as well as break it up before the end of the game.

On the other hand I think it's highly likely that Maya and Josy will break up if you aren't on the throuple path.
Click to expand...
in fact I didn't write well, I wasn't referring so much to the "trouple" as to the relationship between the 2 girls, who until Patrick's problem is resolved are "condemned" to stay together for the plot.

the fact that there will most likely be a breakup of the couple raises some doubts about the resistance of the crew as well, but these are mostly conjectures, there aren't many signs of this

I blame the parents. I talk to my kid and she fucking understands all this shit and she's still in school (EDIT: I don't talk to my kid about this game... I talk to her about anything and everything that will help her not fuck up her life... hopefully).
  • In this story, Maya has been sheltered by a dad who took charge of her childhood, gave her no options and she just went along with the flow (until he tried to stop her seeing Josy). So ok, she's clueless.
  • Derek on the other hand was a problem child, but he seems too stupid to consider helping out with intelligent shit.
  • Jill has proven herself to be somewhat retarded, but at least she has access to a family retained lawyer. And she actually is asking to see the loan, so ok...
  • Sage should at least know how to google this shit. So I'm not giving her any excuses.
  • The mc is too pussy blind to think straight most of the time, so fair enough.
  • But Bella and Stephen should have seen through this shit immediately and said, "How the fuck can you be a cosigner!? What dodgy ass cunt of a lender would accept that?! What's your dad's number? I'm ringing this manipulative cumbag right now!!! :mad:" Bang! Solved.

Then they have nothing to complain about when they fail. Except that there's always someone who will come along and Mommy them back up.

Nature has a marvelous remedy for all that, either learn from repeated failure or die. Problem solved either way.

I know right? wildlife has been living by that rule since life began, if only humans would live by that rule then surely we'd be the dominant species on the planet by now.

I must be missing something because Josy is the reason the loan getting solve, all the credit goes to her

That's the point, she may actually be important but people rarely reference her unless it's talking about how adorable she is.

Nowadays when they fail, they start some new movement on social media and then the mainstream makes it an event...

Yeh let's celebrate our failures and give them a trophy and reinforce the whiny and defeatist attitudes.

For a long time we did. The relative prosperity of the west is only a fairly recent thing, mostly since ww2. Societies didn't have the surplus to provide the extensive social safety nets that we have now.

Look how it's effected our story telling. Maya is in a bind, and instead of growing as a person and finding her way out of it, the story expects her friends to rescue her. In fact, personal growth as a story motif is used very sparingly.

OK let's assume that DPC didn't want a self growth story, he wanted someone to rescue Maya. DPC could also have another character, MC or Josy, experience a story arc where they grew from an unsure or un caring person to become the person that was capable of helping Maya. But in BaDIK it's assumed that they will be willing or able to help from the beginning.

MC is a kid from an impoverished backround, who logically should be struggling but isn't. All his focus isn't on his problems, but the problems of all the middle class white girl's around him.

I've done a poor job of explaining it here but my point is that this story only seems to make sense to someone that has an expectation of prosperity, and it's only one of the many problems that the story has.
