Aw, poor Faye.
That's what happens when you act like a complete bitchbag to a man who cares for you.

--- Quote from: questionablecontentfan on 30 Aug 2011, 16:52 ---Being reclusive and lacking confidence is only a problem for people without hearts, and I guess there are a lot of those in the world.
--- End quote ---
Nobody has a duty to love anyone*. None of us are special snowflakes. Nobody's personality entitles them to affection, or to be looked after by somebody else. Life is suffering.
*Romantically anyway. I'll leave parental love and religious love to those better qualified to comment.

Life is pain, princess.
Anyone that says differently is selling something.
- one of my favorite quotes
(also this is why I like you)
I'm female and I love Faye.
I also love Marigold.
And I adore Angus.
What does this mean? Absolutely nothing! Just throwing out my opinion. o3o Take from it what you will...
Also some people tend to view fictional works from a very personal standpoint - sometimes doing this you can project a bit too much upon the characters so that everything that touches them touches you too, and other characters become projections of others in your life. The ex-girlfriend that broke your heart, the boy that didn't love you back or the mean girl that picked on you in school. Sometimes it's just not worth it arguing against this perspective - you're arguing against emotions, not logic and that tends to make a mess. Sometimes it's just better to say 'Okay, that's your perspective, duly noted' and move on.
Just a thought ~

I hated Faye before I identified with Marigold (yes, obviously I do).
I hate Faye for many many bad things she's done. Everyone else is so quick to move on and forgive her, but I am not. Why should I forgive the horrible things she's done? What has she truly done to redeem herself? Nothing. Letting time pass isn't redemption.

For the usual reasons - forgiveness allows you to let go of your harmful (to yourself) resentment and bitterness. It's not something you do for that person's benefit, especially when they are a fictional character.
Note that forgiving someone doesn't necessitate that you be blind to their flaws.
questionablecontentfan:
Okay, Tovo. I'll keep that in mind.
