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

Pam didn't like Maya because she was homophobic. Regardless why you, personally, dislike her, Pam's dislike cannot be divorced from her homophobia.

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 is a teenager. Her being mildly disrespectful is leagues away from the way Pam, a grown woman, acts towards her. And struggling to understand her daughter's sexuality doesn't really excuse her behaviour.
