im honestly thinking about giving up on qc. i just can't understand why everyone else in the qc universe puts up with her!

Really? Are you that fucking dehumanizing that you "sanitize" your friends group so that anyone with personality flaws that might make things awkward is excommunicated? Even if said person acknowledged their issues, sought therapy and made it a long way in overcoming them? You want everyone to come prepackaged and issue-free just for your conversational pleasure? And don't give me that "Don't give me that" shit. You clearly know nothing about people with psychological issues if you think that's "weak storytelling" (I know, one of my friends lived through her dad's suicide and came out almost the exact same way), so just because it doesn't serve your agenda, don't subject us all to your "LALALALALA I DON'T WANT TO HEAR ABOUT IT!" bullshit.

As Raven said on the subject (488 for reference), people wouldn't humour Faye if they didn't like her. You can say you read through the archive and saw bitch, but when I do the same thing I also see someone who seems like they'd be a lot of fun to be around, and someone who at a basic level still seems willing to do anything to help her friends, a group she seems to define in the most open-minded and least exclusionary manner possible. May I suggest that you, the one who judges people without explanation and measures their worthiness to be your friend, might actually be the one left with huge personality problems you can't excuse? I don't know whether you're male or female, but in the interest of gender equality, may I regardless suggest that you might be the "total bitch"? Faye might take unnecessary jabs at the flaws of the people around her, but at least she doesn't use it as fuel to exclude them.

To everyone else, holy shit I didn't think I had that in me. It's the "if there was someone like her in my circle of friends" part that gets to me. I'm okay with people judging fictional characters harshly, but when it becomes a hypothetical real person I kind of lose my shit. Sorry.

Carl-E:
Makes me wonder what you'd do if it was a real  real person, instead of a hypothetical real person. 

And, if you want to give up on a comic, it's not that hard... but if it is  hard, you may want to think about what it is that keeps you coming back.  Especially since that "total bitch" is pretty much the center of the comic!

Is it cold in here?:
(moderator)No personal criticisms, please.(/moderator)

I was going through Faye's list of memorable quotes on the wiki and my wife pointed out something interesting. The boasting quotes, like "I am the depleted uranium of femininity", cluster around the earliest comics. Faye, then, has become less insecure and defensive.

EDIT: I can't find a "Faye's fundamental character" thread with either the forum's search function or with Google. Have we really not had  one?

Carl-E:
The closest we got was this. 

Which I'm going to link in the WCDT as well - seems appropriate!

This just in : Faye can be a bitch.

In other news, the sky is blue!
