I do get very tired of Mal trashing Inara in front of people.
Yeah, I could do that, but I'm paralyzed with not caring very much.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Mal's welcome to do what he likes, but it would have supported the premise better if people had been actually outraged by his old-fashioned and prejudiced insults. Nobody was: they all took it in stride as just something Mal did.
Also? Atherton Wing. So.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

There's a cut scene where he pulls her pigtails....

Jack, would you mind not posting that information on Joss's and Tim's political contributions? I know you didn't mean it this way, but considering Joss and especially Tim's relationship with this board as members, it seems a little rude to throw that stuff out there.
ETA: Thanks, Jack.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
The content of a show bears more interest than the political motivations, usually. That said, political and social motivation study can be fun (and occasionally the point).
That said, I really don't care who Joss and/or Tim donate to. Well, unless they donated to my back pocket(tm).

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I found the link to be accusatory toward Tim, but am aware that I'm a jackass.
ETA: It's Tim's call, I think.

Have we ever seen anybody in power treat Companions with respect? Nope. The bad guy in the Heart of Gold episode, the bad father of the virginal son on whatever-the-hell planet it was, Atherton Wing, Mal....

Look, to my knowledge Tim has never expressed political opinions publicly, with the possible exception of his feelings for Israel. For someone to "out" him as having a certain political slant based on contribution information that, although must be publicly accessible under FEC law, is generally not meant by the contributors to be publicized; well I consider that to be inappropriate. I'm less disturbed about the Joss information since he publicly campaigned for Kerry, but still it bothers me that his contribution information was just thrown out there.
The purpose of publicizing election contributions is to try to reduce fraud and monkey-business, not to "out" people's political opinions. Besides, the more prevalent the list is used for the latter purpose, the less often people will donate to campaigns they believe in. I'd hate to see that happen.
ETA: This post is now moot but I hate deleting posts...
