Why Doug Fans ?
I noticed that Doug fans have a tendency to criticize people who saved Carley over Doug just because many people saved her than Doug and all of them say that the people who saved her want boobies , and that she is hot etc .
I saved Carley and i don't criticize the people who saved Doug , both of them are great characters , so why ?
Why do you Doug fans have such a grudge against Carley fans and the people who saved her ? Is it because Telltale wants us all to save him ?
Just because Telltale wants us to save him that doesn't mean everyone will do the same choice , anyone can make different choices and have different motives .
I saved Carley because she is trustworthy and she always saves Lee from danger , does that mean that I saved her because i want boobs ?
I don't want to start a flame war , i just want to understand why Doug fans are angry at Carley fans and always jump to conclusions about their motives .

I personally am a Doug Fan but as long as people don't insult my decision I won't insult their's.
Heck, the same sort of people were even active on the thread about Let's Play videos by OfflimitsPC, a female video maker, before mods stepped in and removed some of the comments accusing her fans as "OMG BOOBS!"
Like I said, this type is the vocal minority but from what I've seen they tend to hijack discussions which gives the fans of Doug a bad impression at times, even though they have their own reasons for saving Doug. Loud-mouths tend to make themselves heard. Just think Larry lol. I really don't think Doug fans in general are mad at us Carley fans.
So they lash out at those who liked the character.
It probably doesn't help that some Carley-fans got extremely emo over her death.
doug was just 'some guy' in the group who liked robots and could programme a remote.. he was simply a 'plot device'
This is actually why i don't like a lot of the Carley fans. I didn't seen any threads that people stopped playing the game after Kenny's death, or Ben's. Not Doug's death, not Katjaa's, i only saw the biggest uproar ever when Carley died.
I just don't understand what made her so special from others. She wasn't the only person that saved Lee's behind all the time. So many others can use a gun skillfully. And from my sight, it was only her that people cried over for some reason. I just..i just don't get it.
Probably because of how sudden and surprising it was, and the reasoning for it. Kenny gets to go out like a hero, Ben can potentially go out in a sort of hero style(while also supporting Kenny's sacrifice in his other). Heck, even Doug goes out like a hero by taking the bullet for Ben. Katjaa's was understandable, because it was caused by the heavily focused death of Duck.
Carley just up and died. No heroic saving, no last stand, and no good reason. Lilly kills her just because she felt like it. There was no build up like there was for most other deaths, either.
I was satisfied by how it happened, but it's clear she had the least reasonable death of the primary characters. With the exception of the final choice in episode 1(which doesn't really count) and Mark, she has the shortest death scene of any long-standing character in the game.
In addition to what Mornai said, we also need to keep in mind that Carley is one of the few people that consistently backs up Lee without requiring you to agree with everything. Depending on how you play the game, Kenny might just end up being your enemy/frienemy. Ben is just not well liked by a lot of people. Katjaa and Duck's passings were very sad, but at the same time they don't really have much of a relationship build up with Lee. Carley knew Lee's secret and kept it secret. Trust is pretty big commodity.
I think the biggest impact of Carley after episode 3 was the lack of trust and confidence I felt towards other characters. Christa, Omid, Chuck were newcomers. Kenny either hates you and/or was in totally depressed state. Ben is a traitor and an imbecile. Molly was too mercenary for me. Though she is a child, I even felt Clem sucker punched me with her little chats with the Stranger.
So yeah, the game definitely felt a bit lonely for me after the RV, and I'm guessing others may have felt the same way.
Personal attachment due to player choice.
And some people say the choices didn't matter. :cool:
Combine that with a higher percentage of players choosing her, and you'll end up with a far larger pool of potential "emo fan types".
I wouldn't read too much into it.... it's all about numbers. There have been dickhead Doug fans too.... there just haven't been the same numbers due to fewer people choosing Doug over Carley.
And not to start a flame war, Doug felt useless while he actually did many useful things, while Carley was idle most of the time at the motel, and everyone says she is so awesome.

I understand but when the bandits attacked she killed 2 bandits while Doug killed one and she helped you against the walkers while Doug din't help you at all
It's as if Telltale wants us to forget about them and pretend they never existed and that they never brought so much impact on Lee like Lilly , Larry and Kenny's family
Heh, good times. That was hilarious to watch.
Doug's dilemma is that his skills don't have many chances to be used because most of what he can do requires all kinds of supplies that the group just doesn't have. He even explicitly states this himself in episode 2 or 3.
There is probably the same proportion of Doug Fans that fit your stereotype as Carley Fans who fit their's...
Pretty much. There's a certain camaraderie with Carley that you don't get with the other characters. Do something Kenny doesn't want like try to save an old fart and you're basically on his shit list until the last episode. Even if you side with him, he's not really "there", he's kinda just going through the motions. Carley was really the only character that you could really depend on.
Even the whole conversation with Clem in Episode 3 about how they're a team and need to stick together, etc. turned out to be nothing but a pipe dream on Lee's part.
It would make sense for him to pop up
Next play through, I'll play through with Carley. I enjoyed the play through with Doug, and some of the stuff that came out of him was great, but I'd like to see Carley's arc next time.
It always irks me that she can't just put her heel through that one walker's eye. Don't need bullets to kill dead people.
So I missed the 'out of ammo' bit, ok. That makes sense then. The game did have a great way of distracting you during important decisions, heh.
Well, someone had to block it. Otherwise there would be tons of walkers pouring in from yet another location, and that might have allowed them to block the exit and kill everyone inside the store. I think it was a necessary sacrifice.
Maybe I just have more sympathy for Doug because he didn't have a gun, but she just didn't seem to be in as much danger as poor Doug. And if he hadn't put his back against that barricade, there's a good chance the walkers would have gotten through, and none of the characters would have survived for us to have this discussion. Just because it's not the smartest thing to do, doesn't mean there's an alternative.
should've,could've, would've.
i reckon doug had a lousy poker face anyway
