--- Quote from: de_la_Nae on 22 May 2019, 05:16 ---Has Momo's thing come up in years now, our time? Does May even know?
--- End quote ---
May knows; she actually noticed Momo's reaction to Sven and challenged her to act on it (before trash-talking Sven and suggesting that no-one could admire him the way he does).
I agree with what people on the Subreddits have been saying: If May was interested in Sven, she was under no obligation to honour some alleged 'prior claim' on her friend's part. Momo has had a couple of years and has never taken action, even after getting a highly anthropomimetic chassis, so she really has no moral basis to complain, especially as she specifically denied it to May. In any case, this seems to have been more of a mutual curiosity thing for both of them; something along the lines of: "Can I really do this (and enjoy it) and will the other party enjoy it?"

More to the point: Sven displayed zero sexual interest in Momo. He seemed to read her as “underage girl” and treated her with polite indifference. So anything Momo feels for Sven is entirely one-sided and is destined to remain unrequited.

...or maybe it will end in a joyful threesome. But probably not, I agree.

Does Momo have a moral basis to complain? No, she doesn't
Does May have a moral obligation to honor some kind of 'claim' to Sven? No, of course not
Does May have the right to do whatever she pleases with Sven? Of course she does
All these aspects aside though, there is still the question of whether she should consider Momo's feelings in all this. The point is that, even if Momo has no moral basis to feel hurt, she may very well feel that way nonetheless. And if you know your friend may be hurt by it, wouldn't that justify considering whether you want to go through with it?
In other words: if your best friend has a crush (or even strong feelings?) on somebody you have no real interest in besides possibly an NSA night (which you could arguably have with others), would you still have that NSA night if there is a real chance your friend will feel hurt? Is 1 night without feelings (debatable, I know) worth hurting your friend's feelings? It may be unjustified for your friend to feel hurt, but that wouldn't change the fact itself.
Democratus:
A friendship isn't a hostage negotiation. You can't call someone off-limits for your friends just because you are also interested. That is a slippery slope that results in more damage.
Pursue who you like. If someone else who likes them is also your friend - they will be happy for you if you succeed.
