I'm starting to feel like a hypocrite and see hypocrisy in others because I know there's shows and movies that I enjoy (and that people on my flist enjoy) that have done the same offensive things and sexist tropes that Dollhouse is guilty of, but it didn't stop me from liking or even loving those shows.
I don't think this really makes you a hypocrite. If we all hated everything that had sexist tropes then...we really wouldn't have much we could allow ourselves to enjoy. Unfortunately. Because there is just so much sexism in the entertainment industry. What's important is realizing there are problems and being willing to acknowledge them even in things you enjoy. Which you clearly do.
