The day the word "fandom" can be used of 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 simplistically feminist hack whose works are full of Straw Misogynists—his fans concede that, except for the "hack" part.

And it is not Misaimed Fandom 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. Emphasizing the good points of an obvious strawman—like Jayne, or any Whedon male who isn't an Author Avatar—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 Slap Slap Kiss; 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.

Yes you may, here in Holland it is still on the product. I've seen it pretty much all of my life.

Well, since the NES came around that is.

Cut this from the film section:

• There are several interviews with Glenn Beck where he, explaining his popularity, compares himself to Howard Beale. No interviewer has yet to ask him why he wants to be seen as a suicidal madman whose mental breakdowns are turned into ratings gold by an amoral corporation.

Mentioning Glenn Beck is just asking for natter, and it doesn't really add anything to the example.

Cut from Literature (Lolita):

• Members of the "loud fandom", who think the book is a celebration of older man/teenage girl relationships, apparently miss or ignore the scene in which Humbert plans to impregnate Lolita — so that by the time she's aged beyond his interest, he will already have Lolita 2.0 coming up.
  • Or maybe they just don't see a problem with that?

I don't think that's a critical part of the example. The second point especially.

I got to halfway through the music section. There are still a couple of things I wasn't sure about (Marvel Civil War, Warrior Cats, The Shield) because I'm not familiar with the works in question. I didn't even bother going through Anime and Manga, because I'd be hopelessly lost. I leave that in the hands of some other intrepid editor.
