I don't like creepy Dora......okay, not goth creepy, just behavior creepy Dora.
--- Quote from: Is it cold in here? on 24 Aug 2014, 22:22 ---We don't know either way. I wonder if she talked to her therapist before jumping to this conclusion.

I think she went cheap and used this:
sitnspin:
I really fail to see where some of you are getting "shit storm" from this? She decided to cut some on out of her life who is not conducive to her emotional well-being. She's not done anything to stir up shit between Angus and Faye. She is just making a decion to get rid of a emotionally crippling from her life. I don't see this as a reaction to this incident specifically, it is a decision that has been years in the making. Personally, I think it's the rihjtbmove. Biological family doesn't mean anything. She has no obligation to keep him around her just because he is her brother. I say good for her, cut him out if he is, even unintentionally, hampering her mental health.
TinPenguin:
Dora is more like Sven than she realises. She too lets her feelings build up inside her without taking any steps to release the pressure, and when they are finally catalysed, the reaction blows up in someone's face.

--- Quote from: plusorminus on 24 Aug 2014, 22:09 ---OK, but I'm sure you can see how that applies to your argument, as well? In other words, Dora right now is doing nothing but talking, but you and others have already assumed that it's going to be a problem for Faye, et. al. Why? Tomorrow's comic could have Dora swearing Marten to secrecy with Faye because she wants to handle it. Or she could tell Faye "Hey I heard about Sven, and I know you'll deal with it as you see fit but I've had it with his shit and I'm not dealing with him anymore. Did you show Dale how we grind the coffee beans?"

Good point. I hope that's all she does, in any event.
--- Quote ---It bothers me that Dora has made a lot of strides and gets cut no slack, ever. No other character gets this level of vitriol.
--- End quote ---
You sure about that? Marten gets shit on by this board all the time. We're only one strip into the week, on page two, and I already saw a couple comments about him needing to "grow a pair", which is interesting because he hasn't even said anything this week to warrant that at all. People seem to dig up things they hate about characters they don't like whenever they possibly can; we only notice it as much when it's about the character we favor/relate to/sympathize with.
--- Quote ---It also reminds me of that strip where Penny talks about how when a guy dumps a girl, his default often is "She was crazy!" instead of "I was an asshole and she reacted to that so I'm going to slander her now instead of taking responsibility." Dora made mistakes and is not that person anymore, but it's like people are defaulting to the "She's crazy!" argument.
--- End quote ---
I'm honestly only commenting on it because I disagree with her current behavior. I've got nothing personal against her character, I just don't really care for the way she's acting right now.
rschill:
Is this what it's going to take for Sven to learn what being a serial asshat actually gets you? That there are things you can't smooth your way out of?
Also, if someone hurts and manipulates your friends, do you have an obligation to your friends to not have them around?
