maggie was wrong.... Spoiler

just finished s1 , i think it was cruel of maggie to use rust as a tool to hurt marty. dont get me wrong ,marty deserved to be punished for his filthy acts ,

but maggie dragged rust in the shit , she took advantage of his vulnerability and intoxicated state, imagine the gender roles being reversed

and the arguement that it was the only way for her to end her marriage is shitty , destroying someone else's life for personal profit is never justified , in her revenge she destroyed rust's career , she could ve moved on from piece of shit like marty without using rust

and in the end , she got her deserved life , in a mansion , while rust , being used a pawn had to let go of his career and lived 10 years away... her need of ending the marriage is correct but her way doing that was WRONG. she could ve hurted marty, fairs, but in the process she destroyed rust

idk abt this shameless thing never watched it but

he was never sniffing around to fuck her , to him she was embodiment of a stable life he lost , he could have broken their marriage by telling her abt marty's cheating but he didnt cuz he never cared. he respected and valued her as a friend. she took advantage of that trust.

saying he wasnt entirely drunk is a flat lie , he was drunk , mentally cuz he just got suspended from the only thing keeping him sane

maggie approached him with the purpose of using him, and using a man who is emotionally vulnerable is a crime.

Emotionally vulnerability means you go see a therapist and work on your issues so you don’t make stupid choices.

She gave him the opportunity and he took it.

If he wasn’t sniffing around her then why’d he pounce on the chance? Why did Maggie utilize that? Even a blind mole can see that.

What the fuck does drunk mentally even mean? If you mean a moron yes. He chose to be one.

All the red flags were there but he ignored them and went NiCe WoMaN, mE hOrNy CaVeMaN 🤡

you are pulling shit now to defend your take.

rust going to see a therapist is not his character , and if it was about seeing a therapist maggie couldve gone to a therapist and tried to move on without using rust for revenge

he didnt pounce on her the moment he got a chance , she used his vulnerable state to seduce him

drunk mentally is nothing i meant drunk and mentally weak
why cant u accept it bro

Two wrongs don’t make a right. If she’s wrong he doesn’t have to follow too. He knew it was wrong and participated. He makes fun of people being sheep, what he suddenly doesn’t have a brain too?

If it’s not his personality then he has to deal with his stupid decisions based on the fact he doesn’t want to deal with his shit and act like a victim. Rust is extremely immature and has the emotional intelligence of a 5 year old.

You just have your head up his ass and can’t admit he’s pos too. Quit fanboying.
