** The [[HunongousMecha mecha]] fandom in general is surprisingly fine with Jenny, who is considered to be a popular "robofu" (robot-{{waifu}}). Indeed, Website/FourChan's /m/ board will allow Jenny threads to slip through the cracks unnoticed, while other cartoons usually are not so lucky.

* TransAudienceInterpretation: Jenny's struggle with trying to be like human girls is often cited as being analogous to TransTribulations. For example, the series opens with Jenny reminding her "mom" to call her by her preferred name, she often shows discomfort with her body, and episodes which center around her wearing a suit which makes her look more human come across as an attempt to "pass".

* JerksAreWorseThanVillains: Vexus is very well-liked by fans of the show, for [[HartmanHips one reason]] or [[EvilIsSexy another]]. Instead, most of the fan's ire is saved for most of Jenny's bullies, mainly those she deals at high school, such as [[SternTeacher Vice-Principal Razinski]], [[RichBitch Don Prima, and Pteresa]]. Just about the only bullies that the fanbase don’t have a bone to pick with (and even then, [[BaseBreakingCharacter they have their haters]]) are the Crust Cousins.

* SeasonalRot: Downplayed in the case of Season 3. While many wouldn't call it bad, it isn't looked upon as fondly as its predecessors with many episodes being rather forgettable and the only noteworthy ones picking up on character threads established by the last two seasons. The "Escape From Cluster Prime" special's [[ToughActToFollow sense of finality]] also didn't do this season any favors.

'''You'd Expect:''' Since ValuesDissonance is a high risk in weddings. Brad would spend his time in captivity getting to know the customs of Space Bikers and social structure. Sure Tammy would love to tell her husband-to-be all about how she planned for them to live together? Or he could turn to Lenny, the only male member available who for some reason is TheChewToy. By doing so he'll learn that; 1: Space Bikers live in a strict matriarchy where AllWomenAreDomsAllMenAreSubs and 2: If the groom divorces the bride eats him. Knowing this he'd look for any loophole, a taboo, anything that can render a Space Biker wedding null and void.\\

* ValuesDissonance: In the wake of the entitled "Nice Guys", growing Inceldom, and the "Me Too" movement in TheNewTens, Sheldon's crush on Jenny comes across as creepy, pathetic, and incredibly uncomfortable. Not only does he stalk Jenny, but also he faked an entire persona in Silver Shell to get close to her, acted possessive by trying to ruin her dates, broke into her house, and stole her blueprints to figure out a way to make her fall in love with him. And he never accepts her rejections or wishes to remain JustFriends. In the early 2000's, this was seen as sympathetic attempts by an {{Adorkable}} boy to get with his crush, but nowadays? Incredibly entitled and harassment.

The most notable examples are Vice Principal Razinski for giving Jenny a hard time just for being a robot, Mr. Mezmer for being a complete racist towards her in ''The Return of the Raggedy Android'', and Don Prima and Pteresa for being self-centered bullies.
