faye is a total bitch
Lupercal:
Well, if you look back at basically every piece of fiction ever written by anyone ever, then you'll find that emotions actually come through. Characters are shown having a good and/or bad time because hell, nobody is Ned Flanders and we don't shit rainbows and eat apple pie every day. There has to be some sort of reflection on an actual personality. Soaps use the "bitch" card so that people are drawn in to it. And hell, everyone here knows somebody like that. So in essence, its almost exactly like real life.
Even the Bible has stuff going on. Nakedness, murder, mavericks, and yes, people being bitches. You think that soldier who stabbed Jesus in the side while he was being crucified was just having a bad day?
To conclude: Faye has issues, flaws, is human. One of my friends' dad tried to kill her mum on their honeymoon, and since then she's basically been like Faye, defensive but loyal, and pretty terrible with men.
I don't know if it is necessary to have a seperate thread for Faye as we could have a seperate thread for every character, which will read basically: "Marten: He's a sap often needs to grow a pair but wears cool t-shirts!". Save that for the weekly discussion.
dragontart:
Ned Flanders is Ned Flanders o_o
...Sorry.
That's not a written piece of fiction anyways.

Ok, I grant all of the above, and Faye was my favorite character for literally years ... but I can kinda agree with the OP's sentiment, given some of her decisions affecting significant others. Leaving Marten hanging for so long and then declining, while he was completely polite, generous, nice to her, was kinda unfair, but the punching...! too much, and much too hard - it wasn't freakin' necessary! Someone should've punched her like that, every time she did it to that nice boy who loved her. :x
and then, after setting ground rules with Sven, that she was gone if he did anyone else, ok, fine, but then when he slid into it in a moment of weakness, it was like the crime of the century, everyone was all trashing him like he'd besmirched and traumatized her beyond belief... whatever trauma she suffered there, was SELF-INFLICTED. And he got treated like shit.
and yes, she has mellowed lately, snark intact, it's like, growth and maturity! Cool! I'm guessing Angus is pretty good for her, with his endless patience. Why isn't she punching him when she inflicted bodily injury unto Marten several times? Hmm? Because it was her own michegas, insecurities, her own shit, right? And it was cartoon funny, like the roadrunner and Charlie Brown and all, it was right for QC, but if I had a friend who did that, I'd say something.

I think this is the most salient point. Of course, if everyone said "meh, it's a cartoon," you'd really hear the crickets in this forum. And where would that leave us? getting other important things done like the 20 page paper I have due sunday night that i haven't started yet because i'm a slackass motherfucker
Carl-E:
He got slammed pretty hard in the forums, though. And to be fair, he had a number of supporters in here as well who were swift to point out the in-comic truth of the matter, as Tomart did.
It was interesting how that incident polarized the population in here...
