Reaver, there's been a surprising amount of vitriol and ill will directed at Faye and Dora this week. Your post inspired my question but it wasn't directed at you in particular. It was general to all those expressing that emotion--which is why I didn't name one of the two, but left a blank.
I find this more difficult to understand than the Claire haters. Almost certainly some percentage hate Claire because she's trans, but most are probably just not a fan. Claire is to them what Yelling Bird is to me--a distraction from what drew them to the comic. (I don't hate YB, btw. It's just disappointing to see him.) But the idea of Clair as a distraction makes sense from the POV that there's a vast wealth of QC in which Claire doesn't exist.
Dora and Faye are core cast members. They've technically been in the strip from the start (When you realize that Sara IS Dora, it becomes clear--works at a coffee shop, carries secret torch for Marten, friend of Faye's--Sara was redundant. Dora had all of her qualities and more. Everyone knows that being redundant summons allosaurus, or gets you put on a bus to LA).
Hating on one of them but still reading seems to me like religiously following Star Trek even though you hate Spock. When a character turns me off, I lose interest. That's made it difficult for me to frame the question--it's been on my mind for a few days. I have no frame of reference. The closest I've come is TNG's Reginald Barclay, and the fact is he's the center of some bloody fine episodes.
So, like I said, I'm not saying there's something wrong. I just don't understand, and I'd like to.

Also a fifth of whiskey really isn't that much, considering how much and how often Faye drinks, her tolerance is likely quite high.

It wasn't a fifth of whiskey though, all added up she's consumed a lot more than that.
GarandMarine:
Sure, and what's your point? My personal record is some where around 5-6 fifths (I don't remember, and 5 bottles is the average of what everyone else told me after the fact.) and that was in a much shorter period of time. We know Faye woke up buzzed, and she's made it through half a bottle of booze by the time Dora busts her, while not good for you, that is not a high/fast level of consumption. If that new bottle on the couch is indeed a new bottle... that's a problem. Otherwise I think you people have wimpy livers.
Reaver:
I can understand that Reindeer, but your post came right after mine, when I had mentioned no such thing of hating any of them, and I suppose some people continue to read even though they HATE certain characters, is because while they may HATE them, they can't help but want to see what happens next?
Also yeah she's drank more than a fifth of Whiskey, she never sobered up from the first time she started drinking after the break up =/
