The day the word \
to:
The day the word \\\"fandom\\\" can be used of [[HypeBacklash this troper\\\'s reaction to Firefly]] is the day he ends his life, no matter how well-aimed that fandom is.
It\\\'s not \\\"dubious\\\" to say Whedon\\\'s a [[TheThemeParkVersion simplistically]] [[StrawFeminist feminist hack]] whose works are full of Straw Misogynists—his \\\'\\\'fans\\\'\\\' concede that, except for the \\\"hack\\\" part.
And it is not MisaimedFandom to like Jayne better than, say, Mal, whose status as an antihero is a very thin veneer over, in essence, Alan Alda. People are allowed to react differently to characters. [[StrawmanHasAPoint Emphasizing the good points of an obvious strawman]]—like Jayne, or any Whedon male who isn\\\'t an AuthorAvatar—is a useful exercise, and would keep creators honest, if they could hear the alternate interpretation over the deafening applause. Besides, it wouldn\\\'t take \\\'\\\'much\\\'\\\' character development to turn Jayne\\\'s relationship with River into SlapSlapKiss; if the show had lasted longer it would be an almost \\\'\\\'obvious\\\'\\\' development, if Whedon could be bothered to flesh out his Straw Misogynist.
Still, the response did roughly count as Natter, this troper concedes the point—and tries to come up with a better way to put it.
