I love Dollhouse more than Firefly, so maybe I'm the wrong person to ask but why would anyone be ashamed of liking Dollhouse? It's not really considered the best work of anyone involved but I've never heard it called awful.

If I remember right, this came out right at the height of deeming everything "problematic", viewing everything from the worst possible interpretation and judging its value accordingly.

And when your show's premise hinges basically brainwashed prostitutes, there's lot of stuff to find problematic. Oh and don't forget an unhealthy dose of judging the creators for what you think their motives are.

I'm not an SJW, so I don't think "problematic" really means anything. I think art is meant to often make its viewers uncomfortable and that's a good thing. Dollhouse it meant to be uncomfortable and twist you around but make you think.

And calling the actives "prostitutes" is a really reductionist way to think about them, by the way. The show also makes that clear. Besides what's even wrong with being a prostitute?

I'm right there with you on liking Dollhouse better than Firefly! *high five*

From what I can remember from the first season, people were really taken aback how the show never said out loud how bad the corporation was. Because one really should spell it out with big neon letters, that a corporation who brainwashes people into prostitution is evil. Heaven forbid people would think for themselves. But maybe that's just too much to ask from network audience.

/end bitter rant from a bitter Dollhouse fan.

I don't know if you'll ever read this but I think you're cool.

Yeah, Dollhouse lives in a world of basically gray and gray morality and I'd even say one of its messages is how horrible a Dollhouse would actually be in the real world because that kind of power over people would of course be abused. "People are mostly crap."
