How is my argument invalid? Sure we'd all be creeped out by an actual Dawn and Dakotazoid, but you seem to be forgetting one vital fact. This is a cartoon. It's not supposed to be realistic. Because Zoey is being so realistic, she isn't being entertaining or interesting in the slightest. I don't think she belongs in a cartoon.

If I wanted to watch a sappy teenage soap opera about a small town girl who can't comprehend the ideals of friendship, I wouldn't be looking for cartoons.

My arguement is not whether she's a bad person or not, it's whether she's a terrible cartoon character or not. To me, she's not fit for a cartoon if all she's going to do is rob the show of it's wackiness and creativity by upstaging all of the well written characters with her boring "cutesy crush on a boy" Twilight-like, story arc.
