I'm not sure what is going on (especially since I haven't yet had the chance to read the latest chapter of High School Story while I am saving up to diamonds to bring back Hughs (so it'll be a couple of weeks since I decided not to go forward with the idea of playing Endless Summer, Book 2 yet, so that I can savor my first playthrough and not rush it), but one of the users, RomeoRomeo, posted the following on Maria's page:

please disappear from the planet earth maria.

I was kind of dumbstruck by that sentiment. She's a fictional character and I have no idea what she could have done to gain that sort of reaction (obviously it would be worse if this was about a real person, but still, this seems extreme).

In addition the following much longer rant on the subject was on Michael's page:

'''one of my fave characters in the whole pc universe. I think the pb team has a thing for hooking him up with maria, which is disgusting for me. It is like seeing kaitlyn and james. So forced and ooc. Michael and maria are both lis who have fans to each their own. The reason why i love michael is bc he literally is the only gay ship in my fave square: the sophomore, hss, trr and ilitw. For ts, i am forced to choose a f!mc anyway. For trr, the same. For ilitw, my crack li dan turned into a villain recently. So pb better give me the option to be soulmates with this footballer goof. I cant take his flirtings w maria. I came to hate the girl. Tbh i never paid attention to her but mentioning giselle and teasing maria x michael are getting on my nerves and i dont wanna run to emma bc of that. Or caleb. Or aiden. Idk. I only want michael and pb wants to pair him w a 27 yo woman that acts like 17. Thats bs. Seriously. Pair emma with caleb or pair michael with emma, idc. But maria is just ewwwww. Dont you agree? Sorry not sorry. I had enough. I dont want this bs any more. Please fix michael. If you reaaaally want a sideship then chris and zig are there. The hottest gay shit from ts. Or theres lily and brit in ilitw. Or michelle and craig would be compatible from es. Idk. Just dont touch my man michael. I already messaged you on fb, hope youll listen to me. Michael and maria are such an eyesore. Rants over after i say this is as annoying as becca, whos my gf, running after the maddison drama, bc michael x maria is the shittiest drama. I thought we were done with it. K? Period. 😑'''

I'm not sure what's going on and I'm not sure why they are so freaked out about this (or really anything in Choices). I'm pretty sure even if Choices is giving players the chance to match Michael and Maria if they want to, it's not something you have to choose, just like you can choose to keep Emma and Luis apart even if you aren't with Emma. It's just an option that some people might take and some might not. And if your character is with Michael (as is both this users and currently mine) or Maria (as was my second character, the one before this one), of course you aren't going to take it.

Not sure where this falls in the etiquette rules of this site, but I thought I'd bring it up. It makes me very uncomfortable. I disagree with a lot of people on this site on a lot of things. I agree with a lot of people on this site on a lot of things. Sometimes those are the same people. Actually, frequently they are. It's just how people are. They don't agree (or disagree) perfectly on anything. In my opinion, this goes beyond that. I think there are much more polite ways to express this same opinion. Whether or not I agree with this user on this subject, I think they have the right to express their opinion on this matter. My issue is the way they (he, I think based off the user name) expressed it.

I'll leave it up to you to figure out if this is something you need to handle or not and if so, how to handle it. You may not agree with me. You may think this is just fine to express this in this way. And if you do, that's your call. I am just presenting the information to you.
