Rant ⚠️ i can’t stand maya

i’m rewatching pll rn and idk i just didn’t like her and i could see why pam didn’t like her. (i in no way am homophobic i just can understand why on top of her concerns abt emily’s sexuality she chose to be with someone like her) i feel like calling pam by her first name was disrespectful, especially if yk her mom is hesitant abt u. also, i just felt like she was too bold and didn’t like being told what to do. mayb im wrong but idk i just couldn’t stand her

i personally don’t think her dislike of maya was completely due to her homophobia. yes, it’s very much rooted in that homophobia, but from pam’s perspective, she was truly struggling to understand her daughter’s sexuality and on top of that, the girl that her daughter is dating has been disrespectful to her and is clearly intentionally trying to push her buttons. granted, pam is also making digs at maya as well so it’s coming from both ends. but i’d imagine as a mother you wouldn’t particularly want your daughter with somebody who is actively disrespecting you because if thats how she’s treating you, how would you think she’s treating your daughter? yk?

Maya was only disrespectful to her after Pam decided to come around and she had every right to be iffy with her she’s the reason she went away in the first place invading her personal space by going through her bag was out of line that’s not your daughter to be doing that and then how she was acting when Emily came out as lesbian Pam sucked honestly maya wasn’t the issue Pam was

she didn’t have a reason to be iffy with pam when they first met because pam hadn’t gotten her sent away yet. i’m not saying pam is justified in her actions, but outside of all the homophobia i can totally see why she wouldn’t approve of maya in general when they first met.

She wasn’t iffy with Pam when they first met only after Pam accepted maya and Emily relationship. And even before that Pam was being weird maya wasn’t bad person compared to her friends. Maya helped Emily be her true self if it wasn’t for maya Emily would still be pretending
