Are there any truly unsympathetic MALE characters in this strip?
questionablecontentfan:
Yeah, Steve is a dick, basically. I never liked him.
annietiger:
Aw, why so much Dale hate? I love Dale! I guess I understand the "mean" rivalry sort of flirting -- some people just prefer to lightly rip on their friends and such. I'm waiting for a Dale/Marigold storyline to develop once Marigold has come out of her shell a bit more. Seems to me like Dale has mad respect for her since she is so good at her MMOs and perhaps, a bit threatened? I guess that's why he rips on her. And besides! Dale must be pretty alright if he knows about the secret menu! http://www.questionablecontent.net/1640
I don't think there are any truly unsympathetic male characters, and very few female characters. The only one that really comes to mind is Marten's ex, but that's for a different thread.
And yeah, Steve is kind of a douche, but he's a bro...that's to be expected. I think he's the most unsympathetic (major) male character but, ah. It's been said before, we all have friends like Steve.
questionablecontentfan:
Oh, and Angus is a dick for what he did to Mari. Absolutely, 100 percent.
"We're just friends." Yeah, which was not even Mari's decision in the slightest, but all yours, asshole.
And then the way he tried to be like "Well, why are you attracted to me, I mean I don't even blah blah blah and blah" as if it would make him feel better to think that she never had any good reason for being attracted to him. As if she HAD to have a reason.
Angus is still a dick, so I guess it's appropriate that he got with Faye.

The fuck? He's a dick because he turned her down as gently as possible? So what, he didn't have the right to turn her down at all because you identify with her rejection? And you don't think months of living together with nothing happening between them might have given him the wrong idea?
questionablecontentfan:
He's a dick because:
He rejected Mari and went right for Faye without even letting the fucking tears dry from Mari's face...
He did lead her on, and nothing will convince me otherwise...
He tried to find reasons to feel okay about rejecting her, like saying "well, why do you suddenly like me now, you never did before..blahhhhh blah"
He didn't even really talk to Mari after it happened, he just let her languish for days and eating nothing but Pocky and be miserable.
And more reasons that I will think of some other time but no, there's no way that what he did was right.
Whether I identify with it or not is irrelevant, I'm not bringing myself or my life into this, this is a comic discussion board to discuss characters. Angus is not real and I will say about him what I please.
