As a fanon fan I don't know a lot of DxC shippers, so I'm not really sure what the general reaction to TDA was. Those I do know seem to have been as annoyed by it as anyone, if for different reasons, and if they continue to ship this couple do it while ignoring these incidents or pretending they didn't happen. That's totally cool.
But I'm sure somewhere, there are DxC fans that just don't care or even enjoyed the way Courtney treated Duncan. Which is messed up. No network would air a man doing that sort of stuff to a woman---and it shouldn't, because it would send an absolutely horrible message. But TDA and many other shows depict women/girls beating on men/boys all the time, as though this were any better. It's not.
Domestic violence is domestic violence. If Duncan can't smack Courtney with a guitar to the crotch, she shouldn't be able to do it to him.
Thank you.
(Oh, and obviously, images do not belong to me, nor does the concept of the Demotivational poster, etc. And this is my first one, by the way, please feel free to critique or offer advice.

ok no i'm talking about real life bad boys not poser marshmellow cartoons
and it's a cartoon the whole court doing that is a gag dude the whole show is a parody why people get so appalled by it is because they take it way to seriosly

I can see your point, but if the recurring joke was Duncan smacking Courtney across the face, would the fact that it was just a cartoon still make it funny?

touche but as a cartoon no one ever stays hurt so it's all good

Yes, but it's still a rather disturbing message to send.

i will say this i don't think tdi is all that appropriate for kids let alone cartoon network i mean if teletoon gave the show to adult swim it wouldn't get such bad reviews or atleast it wouldn't get parents saying they want it gone cuz its too racy

As a DuncanXGwen fan, I want to have your babies.
I couldn't agree more; stupid dedication to fanon couples tog the point of ridiculing others is insane... not to mention advocating physical harm in a relationship.

Thanks! ...Except for the having the babies part, I think we should just be friends.

"Ohay, how about we just drop all the plots we were supposed to come up with during the beginning of the season, throw in Courtney, and make the rest of the show completely DxC related so we can keep the 10 year olds happy while the sane people who actually have some sort of dedication to the show in general can completely loathe it and rant about it on our official blog."
Basically what the writers were trying to get at while thinking up TDA.
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
wow exactly i mean dxc is the only thing they care about
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
The writers got a pay cut or something and wanted to stick it to the producers, maybe?
And heck, the plots were being derailed before she even came back. Remember the alliance between Justin and Beth? Because nobody else does.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Haha, good one.
Or maybe that non-existant alliance between Heather and Harold? Or maybe Justin claiming to be an antanogist and then later giving up on it and whining about his looks for the rest of the season?
Didn't the producers say that Justin's roll as an antanogist was the first thing they discussed? I wonder when they'd discussed completely forgetting about it and making him into a whining baby.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I read somewhere that one of the creators went on record saying that Justin was basically too obsessed with himself to make a good antagonist, so they changed their minds. But the problem with that is, he had so little characterization before TDA that they could have written him however they wanted; the audience certainly felt he was good villain material, that's the best clue everybody had about what would happen between TDDDDI and the start of TDA!
And don't even mention the Heather and Harold thing. 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hm, you have a good point. He could've pulled off being an antanogist perfectly instead of just being comedy relief. Personally, I didn't think that he was funny at the slightest, just completely annoying.
When Heather claimed she was going to make an alliance with Harold, I was super happy since H2 is one of my favorite pairings. It's sad to say that I was highly disappointed.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Really. Throughout the beginning of the season they seemed to be somewhat close, at least to the point that Harold would be nice to her and sort of defend her to the others; then, the same episode Courtney shows up, they go all 2/3 Stooges on each other.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Pretty unfortunate if you ask me. The last thing the sane people in this fandom would want to see is H2 getting taken over by DxC.
I'm really hoping for some H2 in TDWT. Unfortunately, I don't think that'll be possible because of Leshawna's confession in the third Aftermath. Now the third season will probably be focused on Leshawna/Harold, as if we hadn't had enough of it during TDA. xD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, I sort of like H/L too, though not as much as H/H. 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh yeah, forgot about the num-yo thing. xD
I'm hoping to see at least a hint of some H2 in the special too, but I figured that Heather would be too busy fighting with Gwen.
Nonetheless, here's to H2 possibly becoming canon? C:

There are many reasons i despise this couple-i love Duncan but hate Courtney to pieces-but the number one reason are the immature fans who say that Courtney kicking Duncan in his balls all the friggin time over nothing is very romantic. Shes so bossy to him, too, shows very little if any concern for him, and is unapreciative of what he does for her. Like he wrestled an alligator for her to get some money, and what does she do? She leaves him, proving the selfish cold heart she has.
I dont mind if the mature fans just ignore these or say it shows their love-hate relationship. I have great respect for them.
But when the fans start becoming so overobsessed with the couple that they actually like how mean Courtney is or use her as their influence and also love it when shes horrible to Duncan, thats when it becomes a problem. This obsession with DxC is starting to become very unhealthy, and their relationship IS abusive.
Ill admit, i used to think the kicking in the nuts was funny, but then i realized the producers were starting to overuse Courtney pushing Dunca around moments, and it really ticked me off.
Which reminds me-i think i know why the writers made sure Courtney and Duncan got back together-because if they didnt, the very immature, little DxC obsessors would write in threatening to stop watching the series unless Courtney and Duncan got back together-this is only a guess, but that couldve happened-
And DxC is starting to hog camera time. The writers probably think that if they make the show revolve around the couple, itll become more popular. Boy, were they wrong! There are people who hate DxC and will get tired of them hogging camera time.
Also, these immature brats are often so obsessed with DxC, that theyll yell at every TDI fan who supports a couple with Duncan or Courtney with characters other than each other. They dont get mad if Bridgette is paired with anyone else but Geoff, they dont get mad if Tyler's paired with anyone but Lindsay, and i very rarely see anyone get mad if Gwen is paired with anyone but Trent. But if Duncans with Gwen or Courtney's with Justin or something, EVERYBODY GOES CRAZY. "NO DUNGWEN! Theyll never be! NO DUNHEATHER! DuncanxCourtney only!" Ya, im very very tired of them
So ya, my point is-DxC is a bad couple in my opinion. I dont mind if anyone like them as long as theyre very mature about it, and understand when Courtney is really being mean or just ignore it. And the immature brats have to respect what happens, and just stop watching the show if DxC never gets back together. Sorry, but its not up to them. The show is not called "The DxC show". Its called Total Drama and has lots of characters and couples that need more airtime.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes, I totally agree.
And you know, I actually have a theory that the writers don't even like Courtney either---if you think about it she only made it halfway through TDI, so I imagine to them she was mostly just supposed to be "Duncan's love interest," with their pairing only being one of several on the show. The decision to bring Courtney back for TDA was probably executive meddling or something---I kind of wonder if the whole second half of the season was just a big "Take that!" to the fanbase, as revenge for elevating Courtney and making DxC the end-all of the series. Just a guess, though. 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ya. Im with you. I really think they dislike Courtney because they have to make her into such a brat in the whole series. I dont think they hate Heather one bit, because shes a mean girl, but at least she actually plays it well as an atagonist, she doesnt whine and scream about winning, and she doesnt get upset over a flipping PDA. But of course, they have to make sure Courtney is in every season and has a lot of airtime so then the fanbase would be satisfied, when they couldve threw away the idea and ignore the threats. Ya, it was painful
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah; even if they don't like Courtney, they could write her better, either as an antagonist or not. She just came across as profoundly annoying, like a jerkish Mary Sue.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
And that's another reason why TDA sucked.
I will be honest: in TDI my favorite couple was DuncanxCourtney followed by TrentxGwen. When I first watched the opening, I squeeled of joy when I discovered that Duncan and Courtney are an oficial couple here. But that was before I saw TDDDDI.
When I saw the special, I was deaply disapointed about Courtney's attitude towards Duncan. I led it slide, since I knew that Courtney would come back. I thought things would get settle when she returned.
What do I got? THIS! Courtney was the perfect represantation of an abusive girlfriend. My preference for this couple went downhill. I still don't know why Courtney is still the most popular and loved character on TD fandom
About the subject, I will rant. I think that when you do an animation, when a girl hits a boy or the way round, it's funny when the person that was hit is an ass. When he/she didn't done anything wrong, it's just HORRIBLE!
If you can see, I can draw a boy hitting a girl if she deserves it. (Evidence of my picture when Justin threw Courtney off the tower).
But I had drew a girl hitting a guy, but the ones I had draw are a girl who gets annoyed by a guy cause he bothered her. I was going to do that until she fell in love with him, but now I see this and I had made a thing full of crap
I think she changed a bit after the second day though.

I personally think the main reason she's so popular is just that she's Duncan's girlfriend. I don't look into DxC stuff much, but I kind of get the feeling that usually they just discard Courtney's personality in order to make her the fangirl's stand-in, so whatever canonical Courtney does isn't that important.
It's good to know at least some (former?) DxCers are ticked off, too. 
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
EXACTLY JOEMEL. the reason people like courtney is because of duncan if she wasn't dating duncan she be the most hated character on everyone list on the show
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Personally, I only "hate" TDA!Courtney---in other seasons she's far more tolerable. But yeah, in any event I think a lot of D/C fans just make her a stand-in for themselves, which explains the bulk of her personality. (The same is probably true of a lot of D/Gers, though I pretty much never read that pairing anyway so I can't say for sure.)
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Many people think about that too. But the day when Courtney was eliminated, they started to hate Duncan "because he was the reason She got voted off and he was a mean guy for doing that." WTF?! No really, I got this from a comment on DA -.-
Not only me is ticked off, also too, and she way more of a DxC fangirl than me.
Hope that the special and TDWT shows us the real sequel of TDI, since TDA was like a bad parody of the first season.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, to the rabid Courtney-fan, Courtney basically becomes their own Possession Sue ; basically, she becomes the writer. So, even if Duncan is the original reason, when Duncan betrays Courtney is basically becomes the fangirl's "boyfriend" betraying "her." Or something. (Again, just a theory.)
Keeping my fingers crossed for that, too.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Maybe yo're right about that. Never thought of it before.
Yeah, all my favorite characters are there too, so I hope they have a good plot for this third season

I'm not horribly against them, except for the way she treats him in TDA. Like so many other characters, Courtney just became horrible that whole season.

i know and thats what i dont like about TDA but she is still my fave

Brilliant work hun.
It's so true.
Duncan should have knocked her out, she so deserves it. Of course she also deserves to be hit by a bus...Mean Girls style of course...maybe.
Yeah, the fact that some people actually think their relationship is cute is scary. I feel bad for the guys who have girlfriends who are like Courtney.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I thought you would like this.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You know, I completely agree with you, JoeMerl, on all accounts. I'd feel sorry for Duncan, if he didn't make Harold's life hell in both seasons.
I find it in the biggest irony that Courtney decides to save the line, "We're through!" for a time when she wasn't done striking Duncan.
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
Yeah...probably the best thing I can think about DxC is "well, at least they deserve each other."
Although now that you mention it, there's sort of a special irony, Duncan getting bullied and humiliated by somebody else.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Maybe that's why he bullies Harold, to vent his frustrations with an abusive girlfriend?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, he bullied Harold before he started dating her. (Heck, maybe Harold did him a favor, getting her booted...)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
True, but he could have been venting his frustrations when courting her (he got kicked in the groin back then too).
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
100% agreed. Courtney has always bothered me. She was every rarely nice. Well politician stereotypes I guess.
I actually do feel a bit sorry for Duncan. He may be mean to Harold, but still Courtney's TOO harsh with him. Poor guy. I hated how they basically made her a bitchy antagonist, who apparently was suddenly granted the powers of a god during her time on the Aftermath, in TDA.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I didn't mind so much her prowess during TDA, they needed a true antagonist. But I did not like Duncan finding her so hot when she's treating him with an inferior or bashing his gonads in. Yeesh, go after Leshawna or someone less abusive, Duncan.
