Who is going to be most ticked off by Faye's confession?

<< < (11/14) > >>

Sooozie:
Um, I'm having a REAL hard time understanding why Faye has to tell ANYONE.  I think this is a very strange storyline.  Why is her sex life any of Dora's or Marten's business???

I'M having a hard time understanding why everyone is so civil.

And why Faye didn't do something like this sooner. And with manipulative intent.

It seems that usually in a group of almost ten people, maybe one would be a really decent drama-free person (masks aside). In this group the closest we get to bad or crazy is Hanner's OCD and Dora's natural insecurity. I'm realizing that in this world, everyone is essentially good.

And it bothers me.

I still want Marten to react to something besides those stupid neck nuzzles. *barf-o-rama*

Uber Ritter:
You seem to think that a realistic portrayal of human flaws should involve making out folks to be unsympathetic assholes.  Now folks may be fucked up, and often cruel, but I'm not sure that that means that they aren't often good-hearted.  Not that I'm one of those saps that thinks that people can be simply described as 'good' but I think their flaws are, when judged from a fairly objective perspective, somewhat less egregious and far more subtle than you seem to be indicating.

Alex C:
I'm really, really glad Jeph went this direction-- I was hoping more than anything that this whole thing would develop into a non-issue, although Dora's somewhat arbitrary* "No Hooking Up With My Brother" rule precluded that. I would have been really disappointed had Marten acted any differently and don't really understand why people would begin to call this really manipulative on Faye's part. It's an awkward situation, to be sure, but the only thing she's done "wrong" in this case is to decide that she'd rather break her dry spell than always respect Dora's wishes-- maybe that implies that their friendship isn't as sturdy as they thought, but it's hardly an intrinsically evil or malicious act.

Anyway, kudos to Marten for keeping his ego in check and realizing that this isn't all about him.



*Please note that I am fine with people having arbitrary "deal breaker" relationship clauses-- they exist whether people openly acknowledge them or not. Everyone, including Dora, has a right to choose what they will and won't put up with in a relationship, be it a friendly one or a romantic one. I'm not as bad as the dramatized version of Jerry Seinfeld, but I've broken up with women and ceased hanging out with people over some pretty small potatoes before, so I do have some small amount of sympathy for Dora. That said, I think it's a bit egotistical to think that your close (and miserable) friend with intimacy issues could/would have sex with your brother just to get back at you.

P.S. I feel really dirty for having made a post that long about a webcomic.
