It's really two factors, desperation and emotional isolation. Maya was a prime example of both until Josey arrived on campus. Why Quinn didn't press her advantage in the time between the 'Grinding' and the arrival is totally inexplicable to me.I haven't made any assertion. I never said I was sure or that I had it as a fact of what I am talking about. What I have done it could be said is an assumption of what kind of person you are and it wasn't for resorting to hostility but to understand exactly what you're talking about.
Why should I be the one to give examples of characters more helpless than Maya when I wasn't the person who made such a claim at first or even denied it?
Since I started playing this game when Episode 3 was out, I've been wondering if in some near future the status of damsel in distress would change for Maya but I don't see it, I guess there are more episodes left for there to be a development in that area.
I was wondering how for you this can be the "most helpless character" that you have come across in fiction and that is why I divide it into the assumption that you don't read/watch enough or you are giving an opinion without going into details.
What I want to know is, in detail why Maya seems to you the most helpless character that you have come across in fiction.
If you want me to retract my assumption, I don't see the problem, after all I didn't say it out of hostility but rather out of curiosity that the character must have left an impression on you to have that opinion.
That tactic you are talking about is not used only in this forum, it is used everywhere and no, I am not going to ignore you no matter how uncomfortable your question or argument is after all what kind of discussion would it be if we were all comfortable.
I don't have that kind of experience, but I do understand what you mean about the pressure that can break the limits we put on ourselves if we are desperate enough.
The game clearly shows Maya's helplessness, almost to a delusional state. Watch the HOT initiation scene again. I think that it clearly shows Maya in a delusional state. As to Maya being the penultimate Damsel, I think it's glaringly obvious in the story. She can do nothing for herself. The MC is a total simp, even waiting on her hand and foot after she lies to him and rejects him. Josey's character is a complete handmaiden, in the episodes between 4 and 7 she completely disappears into Maya's shadow. And now Sage is her saviour. At no time in the story does anyone challenge Maya's passivity. Do all of these people, in their first weeks of college, really have the time to carry this Princess? It just doesn't make any sense.
