Both the name and description basically portray the audience as clueless - the fandom is \\\"Misaimed\\\" because they don\\\'t understand the creator\\\'s intended subtext, focusing instead on some random aspect of the text itself (like if the villain is sexy, or sympathetic). Trouble is, in many cases, the audience is actually more clued-in then the creator was, and has picked up on subtext that he/she missed.
Just as a random example, consider Star Wars. George Lucas has said that the light side of the Force is supposed to be perfect, selfless good, and tried to portray the Jedi Order as being unambiguously positive. However, if Anakin had been allowed to openly pursue his relationship with Padme in the prequels, he never would have needed to betray the Republic and presumably would not have fallen to the dark side. This can be taken as a lesson about the dangers of selflessness, and is one of the reasons Star Wars has a Misaimed Fandom in the first place.
