small thing: could you elaborate/define "selection bias"?
I'm used to seeing people committed to justice simultaneously squee about and call out -isms in their favorite stories (e.g. awesome feminist Supernatural fans and their meta, their VIDS OMG, their fanfic), as well condemn ick in stuff they didn't enjoy.
People certainly did that for other Whedon shows.
I've always thought it was just understood that, if we wait for just stories, we'll be waiting a long time and eventually our hunger for story is going to overcome that, if the story is good enough, or hits our personal buttons.
In that case, can you tell the entirety of Livejournal to stop making me feel like a bad feminist for liking a show about a slave prostitute mind-rape victim who will probably (two seasons from now) overthrow and possibly violently destroy her oppressors?
