Ok, is it just me, or is the hatedom for FBORW kinda getting out of control? Most of the examples there sound more like Alternative Character Interpretations to me, but I could conceivably be wrong. But one part in particular I want to address:

\\\", and everyone blames April for killing Farley. It goes hand in hand with their refusal to apologize for anything; since nothing can ever be their fault, they can\\\'t apologize.
For the record, Farley died saving April from drowning in a swiftly-moving river. Makes one wonder where the threshold for this trope stops and the one for Jerk Ass begins...\\\"
Seriously, did I read the same comic as the rest of you? Because I\\\'m totally blanking on when this whole \\\"Let\\\'s all abuse April\\\" thing happened. What I DO remember is the family being (understandably) shocked and sad that the dog was dead, and talking about how April would have been dead if it hadn\\\'t been for him. I remember them being grateful that she didn\\\'t drown. I remember the VERY young April (she was, what, 4, 5?) suffering some amount of PTSD after the incident, which manifested largely as separation anxiety (she was very needy and clingy with her mother) and basically being treated rather sympathetically because of this. And I do vaguely remember April blaming herself for the incident, but that\\\'s another trope entirely...
From this entry, you\\\'d think the entire family spent the second half of the arc using her as a tiny little punching bag or something. I mean, for heaven\\\'s sake, I know the strip suffered a severe drop in quality during it\\\'s last few years or so of syndication, and the recent redone oldies aren\\\'t doing it any favors, but does that really merit giving the entire main cast (except for April) the Ron the Death Eater treatment?
Pardon me for going on so long, this has just been bugging me for a while.
