Fucking LMAO. I mean hey, I'm all for everyone enjoying their LI's and all.
If people said she was cute, petit, sporty, competitive, kinky, sexy and quite a few other things, I'd say: Hell fucking yeah.

But LOYAL? Lmao. The game fucking starts with her being a hoe and cheating on Maya.
Josy is a lot of great things(yes, I am a MJ enjoyer too), but using loyalty as a standout virtue for Josy is beyond delusional.
The stale relationship doesn't not justify cheating, end of story. Brake it off and fuck who you want.
Josy and Maya are opposed to each other by DPC himself.
Some character traits stand out more clearly against the background of others.
It doesn't matter that Josy was cheating on Maya. What matters is that Josy's loyalty is now really shown by DPC as one of the most important characteristics of her character. She tells several times that she doesn't want to cheat on Maya and wants to break up first with her and then date MC. She doesn't even look at MC so as not to kiss him accidentally, she's so focused on Maya's fidelity.
Insecure, needy, emotionally immature, sore loser, constant emotional blackmail and she's a cheater :unsure:
The fact that Josy is insecure is true. The rest is just how you interpret the character. Also, Josy having self-doubts is a total fan service, created so that more people like her.

Josy always had her self-doubts that wasn't something added later it there in ep1 and ep2

No that's just an English expression, it doesn't connotate that the bonding began at that time it just indicates that the activity brought Father and Son into a closer bond.
The question still remains, even if there was only a closer bond? It is suggested to us that Neil is the MC's sole caregiver since his birth. How is an even closer bond supposed to be? No, something is wrong there.

I have grave fears about Lynette. I'm just playing from the beginning again and just read EP6 today so Lynette didn't want Neil to read her diary. There will be something in this diary that Lynette kept from Neil. There are a lot of possibilities as to what it could be, but I imagine it will shock the MC.

What is this supposed to explain to me?
It will explain how most of the lawsuit theories bantered around on this forum just aren't possible, also look up standing, which is a major roadblock to most suits going forward. One of the provisions of standing is if the court can remedy the complaint in the suit. If the court can't remedy then the case is dead. So, take the Tybalt suit. MC didn't have the money to pay for the damages so the suit would be dead because the court can't order MC to pay money he doesn't have.

What does Tybalt's suit have to do with Neil's lawsuit? Nothing.

What do legal fees and court costs have to do with compensation? Nothing.

Neil pays off legal fees and court costs.

I'm going to try one more time and then I'm going to ignore.

A lawsuit is a process. Best visualized as a series of hurdles that you must clear in order to go forward and eventually wind up in a room with lawyers in front of a judge. Most of the early and even some of the middle hurdles are just process that don't require a lot of billable time from a lawyer to pass. They're just routine. But those early hurdles are where the vast majority of lawsuits die! This is mainly because of standing. If you can't get past standing, you don't have a lawsuit. Now, if someone is really really mad and really wants to get at someone else and starts filing lawsuit after lawsuit that won't clear standing then they run into a wall called anti-slapp. And now they're in trouble because anti-slapp can fuck you up. Most lawyers won't go anywhere near anti-slapp.

That's why all of these theories just don't matter, they are not possible under the law.

Not trying to shutdown discussion, but I feel compelled to clarify that redressability is the element of standing that you're talking about, and that has nothing to do with whether a defendant can pay for damages. The questions is whether the requested relief is likely to provide remedy for the plaintiff's injury, independent of whether or not a defendant will actually be able to pay the judgement. A claim would lack redressability if, even if the court ordered compensatory damages, the money would neither address the injury nor deter future wrongdoing.

I don't know the theories going around here, but a good faith civil tort claim against someone who wronged you will pretty much always have standing.

You don't need to explain anything to me because you don't understand one thing. Money makes the world go round. If Lynette's father sued Neil, then Neil is still in litigation and has to pay legal fees. Lynette's parents were rich and money rules the world. Then they ran out of money, Neil wins and Lynette's parents had to sell the villa.

I also posted something from DPC's Q&As to you. Read it again. So anti slapp legislation is for the ass.:p

While a lawsuit is indeed a process, standing is generally not the reason cases are dismissed, and it's certainly not some automatic procedural safeguard that doesn't take up billable hours. In many states, lack of standing is an affirmative defense and the burden is on the defense to show that there is no standing. And the federal courts have been increasingly likely to remand cases that lack standing back to state court.

The reality is that all legal action is time consuming, and thus expensive, and that's why the vast majority of cases are settled, many before a motion to dismiss is ever submitted.

edit: I want to add that anti-slapp laws apply to a narrow band of actions, usually relating to lawsuits about someone's speech or municipal procedure, like zoning permits. Furthermore, anti-slapp laws can't change the elements of standing, which come from the US constitution. Instead, anti-slapp laws try to cut down on frivolous action by pausing litigation at discovery, which is the most costly part of a lawsuit; or by allowing courts to grant attorneys fees to the defendant with broader discretion.

As a reminder, access to the courts is a fundamental right in the United States.

Dude, are you being deliberately obtuse? He's obviously using Tybalt's bullshit as an example of how standing works. (which is wrong, as TundraMouse pointed out, but that's beside the point) Not saying it's related to whatever legal troubles Neil may have. What is wrong with you?

And legal fees and court costs would not be enough to bankrupt a man with a decent job. Certainly not for eighteen years.

In normal cases I would agree, but what we were discussing was the character Neil being ruined financially, through the courts, by a rich man in revenge for the rich man's daughter dying in childbirth. I was trying to explain why all of the lawsuit theories about the game were not possible. Like Tybalt's threatened lawsuit blaming MC on the flimsy evidence that he gate crashed a college party when a fire alarm went off. Or the Lynette's Dad v Neil.

You don't understand sarcasm, do you?

It depends on how long a court case takes. If it takes a long time and you don't have legal protection insurance, then you will become poor.
