#also the post i'm referencing compared maya to Sam from icarly and her behavior in her relationship with freddie

not someone trying to call maya an abuser to diss lucaya like... she gave him a few nicknames. the entire show all she did was give him nicknames and that was pretty much the entire extent of her teasing him. and he gave back equally in their dynamic too. yes it's probably unkind to call people nicknames especially when they express discomfort with it i'll admit that much, and lucas didn't seem to be too happy about it (honestly most of the time he was fond of this habit too and enjoyed the experience hence "putting thought into their little game") but that does not equate to abuse bestie! that's an extreme place to go just because you don't like a ship akdjfjfjfj

and it's admittedly mean to make fun of someone's heritage, but even that didn't really go to a level where it became uncomfortable either. lucas is from texas and maya made occasional jokes about it based on stereotypes? which may not be that great but this is a show about middle school characters and while i'm not saying maya's actions are okay and acceptable, she is a literal child! i guarantee y'all were just as annoying and mean when you were in middle school XD

#and a case can hardly be made for verbal abuse either bc disney would never go to that kind of extreme and excuse that behavior #the channel is directed towards children and literally 100% of the episodes end with a lesson/bad behavior being punished #also the post i'm referencing compared maya to Sam from icarly and her behavior in her relationship with freddie #like she's the one that went far enough to make it uncomfortable not maya!!! #sam was the one being genuinely unkind and mean and even going so far as to bring physical violence into their interactions #a case can be made for sam's abusiveness but not maya lmfao #was maya wrong for some of her behavioral choices?? probably but abuse is not the correct word by far XDDD #anna speaks #girl meets world #lucaya #maya hart
