Don't think more then a clutch of players are in the 'despising' camp, it's more that she's in the lesser of many options camp.Maya's "earned" criticism seems to me to be mostly based on the fact that she wasn't infallible, that she made a mistake in not telling the MC the truth about herself (a fact she herself acknowledges was a mistake and apologises emphatically for), and that this mistake is so egregious and devious as to somehow make her the 2nd most despicable character in the game, which is preposterous.
What she did is not an unforgivable offense, but some people act like it is and I simply cannot understand the lack of compassion for a character that is so clearly in need of help.
Sure, she needs compassion and help BUT why should we be the one to give it to her?
She has Derek and now Josy as a support system. We're just some guy she met a week ago who doesn't fully grasp her situation (due to her being less the open and honest) who had to be blackmailed into accepting as temp roomate. We've got a busy schedule of trying to save the DIKs, wooing Jill and working out what's in Bella's basement.Unless you are 110% blindly in team Maya and like that whole 'troubled damsel' schtick then it's really not your place
But you did ask her not to report it.That criticism was also ridiculous as well because it shows she cares about the MC and reporting someone for assaulting you like that is the right thing to do, so I don't see that she did anything wrong.
That she went behind your back/over your head could be troubling to some as it suggests that (despite how powerful her motives may be based on her unexplained history) she isn't willing to listen to your feelings and she sees you as some scrappy little puppy rather then an equal with an equal opinion.
It sets a worrying tone for a future relationship if that's how things are going to play out is all.
I'd be surprised to the point of disappointment in DPK's writing skills if this happened.Sage drama could be a particularly devastating one if it turns out that Chad isn't gay and there are signs they could have a reconciliation because I'd argue what Sage has been doing is even worse than anything Maya and Josy have done.
From Flashbacks (DIK formation) to present day we've seen a history of Chad's disintrest and it would be a major character reversal to suddenly have him pursuing Sage.
He didn't show a renewed interest when MC became competition and he didn't try be more persuasive with Sage when his ass was on the line post-fight.
Given that he's let those occasions pass him by - I can't see a plausible reason for him to suddenly reconcile.
