--- Quote from: JackFaerie on 08 Jun 2010, 01:02 ---Seriously. I do not find it funny. At all. I find it very unpleasant and uncomfortable, and it makes me dislike the characters. Maybe others don't feel the same way, but I do.

Jesus, you guys are a bunch of whiny pussies. It's a cartoon.

I think his first response was appropriate, until he freaked out about it when questioned on it. "Meh, you know how it is with Faye" to those that know her means fighting and flirting often go hand in hand. However, to somebody that doesn't really know her, like Marigold, it could have meant that Faye just likes hitting people. Sadly, instead of being quick on his feet to say something like that, he started sputtering. I still think it could have been saved if Tai hadn't spoken up. Either way, I still don't think Marten deserved Dora criticizing him like that, both when calling him an idiot and telling him not to say anything else stupid for the rest of the night.
Is it cold in here?:
--- Quote from: many people ---It's a cartoon

It's a comedy and drama, populated with characters who have clear and realistic personalities, which is represented as a cartoon. Discussion of the behavior of fictional characters is something you can get a degree in: dismissing doing so because "it's just a cartoon" is a prejudiced refusal to acknowledge that a comic strip is a valid storytelling medium.
J:
"it's just a work of fiction told via a visual medium in order to entertain and amuse" does not have the same ring to it though. either way it's a valid point, people are getting surprisingly emotional over the antics of nonexistent people.
