People who bitch over what Zara and Nadia did without even mentioning MC's actions either are hypocrites or lack the social skills to function in a real world. I don't defend neither Zara and Nadia nor the MC. MC acted like a piece of shit in order to win a
practice game and got what he deserved in the end. Ayua warned him when he was playing his "mind games" before, which can put Nami in danger in the upcoming episodes.

I won't delve into what Nadia and Zara did wrong, since anyone with two braincells can figure it out. What MC did wrong then, you may ask,
1. Stare at them like a creep and compare their bodies in order to make them angry and incite competition between them.
2. Being a sexist in order to anger Zara and undermine her abilities, in which Mila calls him out.
3. MC tries to push off Zara, while being aware of her clothing situation and meanwhile grope her ass. Also MC stands by and does nothing (like offering his own shirt) while Zara is nearly half naked in public and doesn't even try to apologize afterwards. Instead he celebrates the win like he won a tournament game.
MC does all these things just to win a practice game. We are not talking about shit talking during a game, which is normal. Shit talking usually ends when a match ends and normally if someone thinks they overstepped they apologize which MC doesn't even consider. Also some people say that in a real world MC could get into major trouble with authority because of what Zara and Nadia did. In a real world MC would not be celebrating his win, instead he would be trying to explain his action to school authority.
Does all of this excuse Zara's and Nadia's actions. No. But it irks me when people act like they did what they did because they couldn't handle the loss. They acted like that because
in their eyes MC acted like a creep and leered at them, undermined their skills just because they are woman, groped Zara and ripped her shirt off and acted like he won a tournament afterwards. I won't even comment on those who blame Robin. I will just leave a screenshots in which Robin lies for MC, to protect his reputation.

First of all I would like to say that although I agree that MC misbehaved, the truth is that I do not find that most of your arguments to defend the girls are objective, what you are doing is called: Rationalization.
It should also be clarified that the way you express yourself when using an aggressive tone (calling the act of expressing an opinion differently from yours
"Bitching" or people with another way of thinking:
"hypocrites or that they lack the social skills to function in a real world"). It is better to use a calm tone (because otherwise you acquire a very immature and impartial tone) to give your opinions and ideas, because that is what it is, your opinion, not a fact.
That said, I will give you my opinion, on why I do not agree with you in some points you wrote, being this your main statement:
"MC acted like a piece of shit in order to win a practice game and got what he deserved in the end."
My main statement will be this: "MC insults and taunts his rivals in a basketball game and gets a consequence that far exceeds the crime."
In short, the only thing I wanted to say is that we all have our own opinions, no one is wrong or right (nothing is white or black, everything is grey), each one sees situations from different perspectives, there is no need to insult those who do not agree with you. This is a forum and comments are for opinions and feedback.
No one should praise the actions of the protagonist, but neither should they minimize the actions of others. We simply express ourselves in what we would like, this is a game about choices, we are all experiencing it in different ways. That's what I love about it. We should not insult each other for no reason, this is a place to have fun, no matter what our opinion is, most of us agree that this game is fantastic, that's why we are here.
The developer of Summer's Gone should have the final and decisive say, if Oceanlab considers that there should be an option to get along with different characters or not, probably knows what's best for the project, there is a reason why this visual novel has been so successful.
