I wonder why people would hate Dib because he realy is not that hateable.

Because we are fickle people that demand instant gratification. Gir is funny. That's it. That's his function. He is funny. He has short memorable lines that people find amusing, and fairly easy to imitate.
Dib on the other hand is as close to a real character as you can possibly get. He is intelligent, and has a terrible home/school life, and he is the only character on the show to have anything close to being considered logic.
We're watching a cartoon, we want funny, not realistic. That's why Gir is liked better than Dib.
Me, personally, I like Gir. But I dislike what he has brought to the fandom. He's brought a bunch of immature little 10 year old Gir fans that can't begin to comprehend the dark twisted side of the show, which is what I like about it. He's also the only character in Hot Topic...which is horrible. I want a Dib shirt, not a Gir shirt. (although I do have one.)
As for ZaTR...no. I don't see it as being realistic. Species has nothing to do with romance. It's compatibility. Saying Zim and Tak would be good together because they're the same species is rather racist, don't you think?
Do I like Tak? Mmm...nnn...I don't know. I enjoyed her five minutes of fame, and I don't dislike her really. But she opened the doorway for a veritable flood of self inserts in the fanfiction department. I mean, go on FFN and the IZ section has a ton of 'The not so horrible new girl' 'The other new girl' etc etc. And it's all 'girl with no business being in the story makes Zim/Dib/both fall in love with her.' And I really hate those stories. Tak was really the first Mary Sue in the Invader Zim fandom, and Zim and Dib did the right thing by blasting her into space before she could do any permanent damage. (to something other than our fandom.)
Now I'm going to get flamed by Tak lovers and Gir lovers. Crap.

Personally, I like Dib much more than GIR. If you read her post you'd know what it had to do with some people liking Gir more than Dib. Gir's the easiest to latch onto with his catch phrases and randomness, in summary. I completely agree with Aria. I think the fans are what make Gir annoying, not really he himself. Ironic.

Hmm... I like Gir and Dib on an equal level! Why do we have to pick favorites. I relate to Gir because we are both hyperly insane. But, I relate better to Dib because I'm exactly the same except I'm not marked as crazy because he's trying to uncover ZIm. But, I do believe the government is hiding things though. Like the fact that aliens are real. I seen one before... So... Go Gir! Go Dib! ~SNb793

I can relate to Gir because I say alot of random stuff.

Yay! I am a winner!
Problem with saying random things, or acting like Gir is that you turn out to be like my sister. Spouting off things about tacos and cupcakes so often that everyone around you wants to punch you in the face.
Just my observation.

Hum that was a marvelous post by the way!!!
Sadly none of my family like to watch Invader Zim so i'm all on my own. Which makes it hard to draw it and stuff because no one around watched the show and knows what it looks like , I can not even have a inside joke with them. * cries*
Oh well I just thought about how my brother Joe resembles Dib in the obsessed about aliens sort of way.

That's so sad. My family didn't care about IZ either, so I nailed them to the couch and duck-taped their eyes open! And now our IZ inside joke is "IT'S ME! I WAS THE TURKEY ALL ALONG!" but sometimes we replace the word turkey with something that fits the mood. lol.

Oookay... Well, I'm obsessed with aliens, like Dib, just not a freaky, scream about it to my teacher, ya know? Like whenever there's an alien thing On Discovery I'm watching it! XD Actually, where I live there have been multiple alien sightings. Ugh, you got me started. Well, I've decided that I like Dib a little bit more than Gir. SOrry Nikki! ~Snb793

One time I saw purple lightning. Creepier. And you know what Dib would've done. He would've been like 'Oh my God! Zim did that!' Or something stupid. Well, if I were him I would've done the same thing... ~Snb793
