--- Quote from: Boomslang on 30 Jan 2015, 09:36 ---Really, I just don't. The brother who literally took her in when she had nowhere else to go? A toxic person, who she has to remove from her life. A boyfriend who was completely faithful to her? Obviously she needs to catch him doing something so she can justify a breakup. Her assistant manager, and one of her longest friends she's still in contact with, having trouble *again* with alcoholic tendencies? Fired on the spot for drinking on the job.

When she's allowed such behavior in the past no less.
Also don't forget that when both Marten, and Faye wanted to get together, but couldn't because of Faye's hangups; instead of being a friend to both of them, she invoked the Barny Stinson Bro Code, and immediately hopped on Marten's giggle stick.
--- Quote ---Dora has never given ANYONE the benefit of the doubt if they threaten her peace of mind. She comes to a conclusion, finds the justification, and sticks to her conviction.

Never giving a thought to anything else, including hard proof that she's dead wrong. For all of her talk about cutting toxic people out of her life, the sad part is, the only truly toxic person in Dora's life is Dora. I'm honestly so sick of this character, that i'm hoping we're witnessing the beginning of her final curtain call here. After this, all i really want is for her and her little Gothbucks coffee bar, to join Raven, Jimbo, Pizza Girl, and nameless Linux anthroPC as just another QC memory.
A Duck:
I, too, believe that Dora is correct in mantaining her decision to fire Faye.
Going back would only give Faye the impression, even if subconcious, that damaging herself fixed stuff. Faye does need help right now, but she did screw up.
The great irony in all this mess is that, by refusing to follow Angus due to her fear of change, Faye set in motion the events that completely demolished her safe zone and will definitely change her for the rest of the comic.
Bologna:
Wow, some people really don't like Dora, huh.
I mean, she's not my favorite character (not that I have a favorite character), and I've disagreed with her actions before, but she's not some she-devil werebeast looking to feast on everyone's happiness.
The crazy thing about these characters is that they're multi-faceted, and they all have their strong and weak suits. It doesn't need to be so polarizing yall :psyduck:

Oh, sorry, I must have missed the strip where Marten was dragged kicking and screaming into a relationship with Dora instead of acknowledging a mutual attraction and wanting to pursue things.

This is a go-to trope for Dora haters, and it's wrong, every time. Coffee of Doom has always had its fair share of morbid laughs, but drinking on the job is a brand new chapter. No jokes made prior to this series of events can make drinking on the job any less a professional suicide.
In case anyone wants to talk about that 'Emergency Bourbon' gag from some time ago: I can tell the difference between a one-note joke in a slice-of-life comic and actual story canon. Dora being quick-tempered is canon, and so is Faye toeing the fine line. But as a business owner, Dora knows when it's time to reel it in. This is why Faye needed the wakeup call.
