At the beginning, when Barney was just a joke character, I could overlook his misogyny. But then I felt I was supposed to sympathise with him (even though his attitude towards any woman who wasn't Robin or Lily remained horrible), which made me angry with the writers - and with the character.

Huh. Well I thought the other way around -- in season 4 and 6 (I really despised him during season 5) I enjoyed how he was portrayed as a royally fucked-up person instead of 'jerk who the other four should totally boot out of their group but don't'. Maybe I'm just biased because I have personal experience with ridiculously assholish people who are still likable and have good traits (read: all my dad's brothers and sisters and their spouses). I do totally see where you're coming from though.

And really, I kinda hate some of his fans, the ones who are always bitching about how the other characters dare to judge their precious little guy. Like seriously? WAT. I really like Barney, but he's really, really, really lucky to have managed to land some friends who are forgiving enough to let him come crawling back to them every time he acts like a huge tool. If he hadn't met up with Ted and Marshall and Lily in 2002, I'm pretty sure he'd probably have fallen in with a group of Insane Duane-ish date-raping sleazeballs and wound up in jail.
