YMMV / Dangerously Chloe

Go To

  • Arc Fatigue:
    • The Valentine's Day chapter, which consisted of page after page of happy relationships being broken up in the name of the succubi's warped sense of right and wrong. People were already beginning to get tired of it by the first dozen or so breakups, and by the time it was wrapping up...
    • While not an arc per sé, the ongoing subplot of Teddy's second Gender Bender has really grated the nerves of many readers due to an unexpected sleaze factor and the feeling that Teddy's behaviour as a girl has become increasingly out of character.
  • Broken Base: Everything about the strip club arc. Either it's a clever diversion or a ridiculous Wacky Wayside Tribe. The fact that Teddy succeeded in working there as a minor is either an acceptable development or insultingly implausible. The fact that its strippers have stage personas based in national stereotypes including Asian Speekee Engrish and Oireland is either amusing or insufferably tone-deaf humor that falls completely flat (possibly mitigated when they reveal it's all an act). Readers in the forum eventually guessed (and later confirmed) that the whole strip club arc is a long, detailed homage to Stripperella; further division ensued over whether this improves the quality of the arc, the arc is bad and this makes it worse (especially since several readers had never heard of the show and missed the joke entirely), or it doesn't mean anything one way or the other.
  • Fetish Retardant: Teddi going to work at a strip club. For readers with ages of consent different to those of Canada, any potential sex appeal is ruined by the fact Teddi is underage by their standards, and even within Canada, as strippers are still required to be 18 or older.
  • Les Yay: The girls at Chloe's school engage in a kissing class. It has been shown that they do this with each other in their natural female forms, with no male demons on-site.
  • The Scrappy:
    • She didn't even get that much screentime, but you'd be hard-pressed to find any readers that like Trianna after the sour first impression her debut scenes made. That said, her hatedom has petered out over time due to lack of focus.
    • A rising number of readers have added Pandora to their scrappy list, especially after she started messing with Teddy's family life while remaining a Karma Houdini. Her contributions to the plot after Teddy's second Gender Bender have only made things even worse.
    • Abby, for becoming a dumbass Bratty Half-Pint who only cares about having big breasts. The recent storyline of her injecting herself with succubus blood to have big breasts is the zenith of fan ire towards her character, particularly when she signed a contract offered by Slash-Stab to give her full succubus powers and a scholarship at Tartarus Academy with no regard for how it would affect Chloe (AFTER she had a breakdown about how she couldn't take Chloe's boobs from her and told Chloe she was her hero) along with the selfish motivation of her wanting to have adventures like Teddy. Then it got Chloe kicked out of the deCarlo house and the hatred turned vitriolic.
    • Then there's the fact that she fact that she chewed out Teddy for upsetting Chole by removing the blood oath (despite the fact the oath meant he would die and go to hell if he had sex) and stays in hell with Chole and when they find her later it turns out she's been getting waited on hand and foot.
  • Unintentionally Unsympathetic:
    • Many readers have increasingly begun to feel this way about Teddy since his second Gender Bender, believing his behaviour is too out-of-character, too stupid or too despicable for them to support his would-be quest to find Chloe a potential boyfriend. His throwing Chloe out of the house is also seen by some as weakened too much by Moral Myopia and his own irresponsibility towards Abby.
    • Chloe as well. Teddy at least had decent reasons (making everything in his life worse, breaking up his parents in the past, turning him into a girl, getting his baby sister turned into a succubus) for throwing her out of the house in tears. While it can be argued that Chloe didn't mean for any of that to happen and some of it is not directly her fault, her presence in Teddy's life is the catalyst that causes everything terrible to happen, which even she outright admits is the case.
