I think it probably comes up a lot in old Westerns and crime novels and other pulp fiction and things like that. And that's probably why Inara got made into that type of character to begin with, because obv Whedon was in large part messing around with the trappings of Westerns in Firefly.

However funnily enough I don't think Inara does actually fall into that category - the specific nature of Companions in the Firefly universe actually removes a lot of the fundamental parts of the "hooker with a heart of gold" thing.

Theoretically it wasn't Whedon's fault - Fox wanted him to have a "space whore." I fault him for a lot of things, but that was Fox.

(Of course, he might as well have refused, as they cancelled it anyway. And for all I know that's an excuse his fangirls made up...)

That's interesting and I didn't know that!

Man, you gotta wonder about those executives - "space whore" is a really bizarre thing to demand.
