Why We LIKE Dora!

The expression "God ruined a perfect asshole when he put teeth in your mouth"* is also quite useful, I've found.
*That wasn't directed at you, Hedgie.
Neko_Ali:
In addition to what a lot of other people have said.. I like Dora because she is a bisexual character. But she has avoided the characterization traps/stereotypes that fall so many of them fall into. Not sex crazy, or chasing around/dating multiple people at once. She doesn't bounce back and forth between partners as if she can't choose. She doesn't act like she's all gay or all straight depending on who she's dating. She's just a person who happens to find both men and women attractive, and isn't afraid to be honest about that fact.

That's heterophobic! :clairedoge:
hedgie:
Neko, agreed entirely. most bi characters are either put into the "anything that moves (and maybe some that don't)" pigeon hole, and many others (especially women) are portrayed mostly for fanservice. Despite Dora's issues (tm), she's realistic as a person, and is a good character. She's a flawed human who is realistic, and that matches most bi people I know, rather than the common tropes used in fiction.
Cyril:
Along the lines of her being a real person, she isn't predictable. She doesn't seem to be written with a particular couple of traits that define how she's going to react to every situation, which means that she's rarely a caricature and hasn't really ever been one.
