* HilariousInHindsight: The storyline of inhabitants of Ceres' independence became with the release of Literature/TheExpanse novels in 2011 along with accompanying [[Series/TheExpanse TV series]] in 2015, which also had [[LibertariansInSpace self-reliant inhabitants of the Asteroid belt]]--one of their settlements being Ceres. Unlike the comic, the novels and series provided a nuanced version of their ideology since it portrayed a negative side--such as inability to police landlords from cutting corners on life support systems, exploitation by wealthier and powerful entities from Earth and Mars, factionalism among their resistance movements, and vigilantism often harming innocents alongside the perpetrators.

* DemocracyIsBad: The attitude of most Belters; the Massachusets Contingent holds a poll to see if the Vestans want a government and everyone but the [=MasCons=] refuses to vote. As such their opinions "don't count" and they get a council that barely anyone really wanted.

* DesignatedHero: Many detractors felt that the "heroes" are basically selfish capitalists who may have caused economic woes for UW Earth ([[StrawmanPolitical strawman of any opposition to Libertarianism and Anarcho Capitalism]]) rather than the system itself being the problems. Not to mention that lack of any trade proposals with Earth and consideration of any attempts at diplomacy as UW's evil intent by the belters didn't help much with their characterization.
