A lot of people in tma fandom purposely exclude the female characters in favour of the (gay) men and this is obviously a bad thing. However that also means there are takes like "if you dislike georgie/melanie/basira youre misogynistic" and they are infuriating. No i actually think the surviving trio sucked ass.
Maybe melanie and basira were bearable cause while their awful behaviour is annoying i can see where theyre coming from. But i cannot bring myself to like georgie i dont know what yall see in her. Not even in that "georgie is jons horrible ex" way i really dgaf about their relationship. But why did she come to him afterwards just to talk about how great her relationship with melanie is while simultaneously rubbing it in his face about how unworthy of care he is. I dont think shes boundary queen i think she is a bit rude at times
adding onto this like it was so incredibly awful seeing john coming out of a coma and having the worst time of his life ever and having every single character be incredibly unnecessarily rude to him omg. like i don’t even think that john’s like the best person or incredible to be in any (platonic/romantic) relationship with but like there was just such an insane lack of empathy for him by any of the other characters that it was like just so depressing at times i swear. like obviously they’re all going through their own stuff and they’re all like flawed characters deliberately but that doesn’t mean i have to like them and like someone give my guy john a break for once in his life. everyone treated him so awfully like it’s no wonder he just accepted the way martin acted towards him by the end. i completely understand jonelias shippers because like even if i don’t like shipping personally and i don’t like shipping john with anyone like at least their dynamic is interesting and jonah at least has like some degree of (even kinda potentially fake) understanding or empathy for him. like if i was john i’d be jumping at that chance so he’s a stronger man than me ((shout out my jonelias mutuals/fans y'all are my biggest allies out here))
