--- Quote from: Thrillho ---This post suggests to me that you've not spent a lot of time around people who are damaged, or if you have that they are people who have dealt with it extremely well. If my father had killed himself in front of me when I was a child I would doing all the drugs to cope with that information. That would cause tremendous psychological damage. People who lash out at others aren't necessarily just assholes. Few actually are at all. They've been through things that have caused them to push others away when they want to accept them. I work with at risk teenagers and I can tell you, I wish even half of them were as pleasant as Faye is as often as she is. Faye is in most senses still a teenager herself. Matter of fact she is mostly lashing out at herself rather than others. Other people are just collateral damage.

That's not the point I'm trying to make though, I get the Fayes going through hard times, I get that's it difficult, I get all that.
I just simply don't want to see as much of her on this comic because (IMHO) shes a bullying, nasty, manipulative, emotional vampire. I understand that her behaviour derives from her experiences but that doesn't mean I have to like her and have to want to see more of her in this strip.
The more shes on this strip the less time there is for Martens growth and his experiences with Claire or Hannelores continuing experiences of coming out of her shell or even Clin-tons escapades
Tova:
When people keep saying "I understand ... BUT ...," I find it very difficult to take the claim of understanding very seriously.

As I find it difficult to take seriously people who seem to want to ignore the main point of what someone is saying (I don't like Fayes character and I'd prefer she wasn't around as much so more focus could go on the characters I do like) to instead focus on the minor points because it suits their own narrative
Tova:
What is there to say about your main point? You don't like one of the characters. That's your prerogative. You don't have to like her. Nothing I say will change your mind, and I'm not particularly interested in doing so.

Because posters on here seem to be ignoring that and instead focusing on why Faye is the way she is as if that renders my opinion of her invalid.
