Should Dora go out with Jim?
Carl-E:
I said, "most".
Although I have been a teenage boy.

Fae has done a lot of things, but few (if any) could be described as terrible. Ill tempered at times (aren't we all?), but I'd scacely call her cruel or thoughtless (at least, not intentionally so).
I'm not sure what you're referring to, but I can imagine the occasional pounding and nipple tweak she gave Marten in the early days are part of it. Much like the primary school mating dances that take place on any playground. Faye was stuck in a very bad place and working through it as best she cold (which was arguably not very well). In the 500-510 strips we found out why, and why she was (again, uniintentionally) stringing Marten along. She was attracted to him, would've wanted it to go further, but couldn't. And she (eventually) let him know what was going on. Then got help. And is now getting better. In every sense of the word. Yes, she knocked him down when he made that drunken pass, but that was necessary (self defense, look at her stance), and for how drunk he was, all she probably did was push him over.
As for her yelling at Sven in 854, that was prompted by other occurences, not by Sven, and while she clearly hadn't thought it out from his point of view, she was a bit stressed at the time!
As Jeph has said, and Faye just s easily easily could, "Clearly I have made some bad decisions". As someone else said, "Let he who is without sin, cast the first stone."
I can empathize with Faye. Hell, with most of the cast. I'm still not sure if it's a gift or a curse!

Yeah, I know people will always try to talk me out of hating Faye, but it's not gonna happen.
How she treated Marten is a big part of it. She did not unintentionally lead him along. I don't care that she "couldn't." She knew how he felt and she messed with him for a very long time and acted like a total bitch. She was mean to Penelope, Hanners, Dora, Raven, and other people.
And if she was so unable to have a relationship, why was she somehow able to fuck her friend's brother? How convenient. Screwing with Dora and screwing over Marten at the same time. Clever.
And though it's probably not fair of me, yes, loving Marigold as I do, it's hard not to add that to the list of Faye's bullshit deeds. I get that Marigold was never gonna be with Angus, but leave it to Faye to rub some nice salt in Mari's wounds. Marigold is a far better woman than I. I would not even talk to Faye.
In other words, if I met someone like Faye in real life, it would get ugly fast. She'd probably pick on me for being shy/weird, and act like a total bitch.
So yeah, I hate her.
stoutfiles:
I have to agree, Faye is a pretty horrible person. She's rude to just about everyone she meets, uses way too much physical violence, and attributes all her indecisions to events from her past, not caring who gets screwed over because of it. The physical violence attribute is never cool, but everyone is just "yuk yuk, that's our Faye" when she gets violent.
She has gotten better, but not really. It's just her personality. Shell do what she wants and threaten death to anyone who disagrees.
Is it cold in here?:
Why does the rest of the cast like her?
Is it your point that redeeming qualities don't make bad qualities disappear and that a person should still be held accountable for them?
questionablecontentfan:
It's funny how it never seems to occur to any of the rest of the cast that they could just, you know, not talk to her or hang out with her. They have no reason to put up with her shit, no matter what she's been through. I think her using her past as an excuse to treat people like that is pathetic.

No idea. It could be because some of them are attracted to her, the rest of them...low self esteem and other issues.
I also don't forgive her for calling Hanners "crazy lady" and asking her where to find a therapist. What a bitch.
