Gonna be real, I will never understand the hate for Jake. I get him going against the MC and fucking up Mia's brain was kinda fucked, but the Mia situation was unintentional. As for the Prison Arc, he only followed Ella's orders in order to restore Mia's memories. Not to mention I'm pretty sure Ella quite literally shapeshifted into MC and acted like an asshole towards him to make Jake think MC didn't like him. That part where Jake got Amber and Liz to show him their tits is weird but MC kinda does some weird shit like that too (given you chose to shapeshift into a girl and go in cheerleader's locker room.) After you beat him, he tries to help in any way he can and just keeps to himself for the most part. I honestly just see him as another victim of Ella's BS, which is more than I can say for Cole, who's just a douche through and through.
Bloody facts. Personally I like Jake and in my good boi route I try to be nice to him often since i know he's just another person being manipulated.
Man, honestly seeing the opinion of you and the others here, I even understand the reason for the hatred against Jake. He fucked too much at Ella's request.
But for me, nah... I was far from hating Jake, for me he was one of the best BRO'S in the MC, second only to Michael, Deryl and Dave.
Man, what happened to Jake was pure cowardice, of course he's partly to blame since he knew Ella was screwing him. But he was too scared to do anything, even with his powers he couldn't even screw with Jared, how can a boy like that stand up to Ella?! different from the MC who has a rebellious spirit even before gaining his powers.
He was an innocent boy who fell victim to Ella's shenanigans. I sympathized with him so much from the start which is why I gave him a second chance on my good boi route.
So instead of getting mad at Jake, I focused my anger on Ella.
