Everyone hates her? I never really engaged with the fandom but I was under the vague impression that the fans loved her.

...Although the same could be said for my vague impressions of every other Firefly character, so that may not be as superlative as it initially felt.

Apparently people hate Kaylee too? There was secret a while back about someone loving Kaylee despite the fact their everyone hates her. I thought everyone loved everyone on Firefly.

I thought everyone loved everyone on Firefly.

LOL, pretty much!

I've seen some frigging weird opinions about Kaylee, though. One time I came across this weird mini-essay where this one woman was going off about how girls who are tomboyish/have jobs normally associated with men are never portrayed as casually feminine, and are basically dudes until they get a chance to wear something over-the-top girly. Or something. :/ I didn't really know what they were getting at, but whatever it was, it wasn't even accurate. Casually girly is pretty much how I'd describe her! And I always thought it was cool that for once a mechanic girl was depicted like that.

I hate Kaylee, but that's because "geniuses who never actually do anything smart" is an annoying character type. :|

What do you mean, never actually do anything smart? She constantly fixes Serenity and keeps her flying.

Not when it seems to matter. The only time her brilliance really comes up is in the pilot, and after that it's forever complaining that she doesn't have the parts.

Well, that an disarming a reaper booby trap (Bushwacked), quickly identifying broken engine parts (twice in one episode, Out of Gas), building a working ambulance from junk (Ariel), and reprogramming a trash drone while perched on top of the ship while it was flying (Trash).

I think it's one of those things where Firefly is popular enough that there's been a million Internet Hype Cycles and it's gone from "River is super awesome" to "Oh god all these nerds are hyping River, she's not that awesome, stop being annoying" to "River is awful and boring (because I am overreacting to the previous hype" to "River is awesome" and through all those various places a whole bunch of times.

Because that's the Internet.

Sounds about right.
