1. “Mac and Riley are siblings”

Firstly, Jack was a father-figure to Riley.
Secondly, Jack was a friend to Mac.

Even if Jack had been a father-figure to Mac, MacRiley still aren’t biologically related and never grew up together. It’s 2 people who met through a mutual friend.
1 continued.

Riley and Bozer are non-biological siblings this is CANON. They have stated this several times during the show. AND Bozer had feelings for Riley season 1, does that then make those feelings wrong? No, because they’re not related and they never grew up together.
2. “Mac shouldn’t go from 1 work relationship to another”

It’s been made clear that outside relationships don’t work because of secrets and danger they can put their partner in.

Riley tried with Aubrey. Mac tried with Nasha. Both of them ended because of secrets and danger.
3. “Mac is a player jumping between 1 relationship to the next”

Nobody is saying MacRiley should happen right away. In fact, we would rather MacDesi broke up and a Mac took time before dating again.

Riley and Desi deserve better than that and Mac deserves the chance to heal.
4. “MacRiley have no sexual chemistry”

Firstly, thinking a relationship should be about sex is problematic. There are plenty of ways to have romantic chemistry without it being sexual.

Secondly, an example:
(I don’t think they’ll have any issues in that department)
5. “Riley is trying to ruin Mac and Desi’s relationship”

Mac said it best: “Emotions aren’t a science, you can’t control them.”

Riley never WANTED these feelings, it just happened. That much is obvious. And she’s tried everything to make them go away.
6. “Mac’s going to propose to D”

• “We’re on, we’re off but things have been great lately”
• “A commitment... is exactly what Desi and I need”

The word choice here is important. Mac said he and Desi had been good RECENTLY but they need a commitment to keep it that way.
6 continued.

Why didn’t he just say he loves her and that’s why he wants to propose? Because he doesn’t want to lose anything else.

Trying to fix a relationship with marriage and doing it because you think you need to is not healthy.

Why would you want that for your ship? https://twitter.com/mik_elokin/status/1368315924034551810">https://twitter.com/mik_eloki...
7. “Riley played with Bozer’s feelings”

Where, literally where? The minute Riley found out about Bozer’s feelings she told him she only seen him as a friend. She never led him on, never led him to believe there was a chance.

She became his friend then his sister.
