This a big pile of misguidedness.

Maybe so.
If there's any insight in my rambling, what about. Couldn't you agree she god called out pertty early for her problems? She surely seems to be far from the level when one needs rehab and or AA.

Now see, This is probably the best way to approach dislike of Faye diplomatically. As opposed to my method, which got me a stern talking to. I'm not cold-hearted, either. But a lot about Faye rubs me the wrong way and she would be the kind of person in real life I would not bother associating with. I knew several like her in my past, now a bit more distant (It seems I have been here a few years) than it was when I first made my anti-Faye outbursts, and she reminded me a LOT of them.
That being said, she is a well-written character -- so much so that she reminds me of real people. Whom I still will not associate with.
Ironically, today's strip is probably the first time I can wholly relate to Faye - beating the everloving dogshit out of a heavy bag because like fuck.
Is it cold in here?:

Which is not far at all from what Jeph himself said. He has fun writing Faye but would not like a real-life version of her. I've learned to avoid her type myself.
That "reminds me of real people" thing is a sign of good art(mod), but good lord, it can make my job harder(/mod). Dora has also punched a lot of people's buttons, and people who've been around irresponsible drug users get instantly angry at Tai.
Tova:
When readers' unresolved anger is brought to the surface by QC characters, moderating would indeed ... be like fuck.

For me its her behaviour towards Marten has always seemed to me to one of a bully and an abuser and while I get that Marten has brought it on himself there were also times when she'd start to bully Claire and all because Faye Had A Traumatic Experience, whereas I'd rather see more stuff like Marten dealing with the issues of dating Claire
