I just don't get the McKay love
It's like the Wesley love, and the House love, and the Snape love, I think. Clever, side order of clever, lots of extra clever sprinkles, huge helping of arrogance about the aforementioned cleverness, underlying insecurity/damage, snark, more snark, extra snark sauce to hide the insecurity/damage, all served on a shiny big platter'o'slash. Ruthlessness optional, but heart definitely 25 carat gold.

...and this is why I am a Fannish Outlier.
I don't recall all that much Wesley love until after he became less buffoonish.
Which is to say, I have little patience for intentional assholery, which Snape and (from description--I haven't seen the show) House are all about, and Rodney sinks into on a semi-regular basis. (Wes is a nutcase, and I had to let go of my Wesley-love once he kept Justine in the closet, but he doesn't strike me as the kind of guy who gets a thrill from hurting people if he doesn't have to.)
Pretty sure this is a case of Not My Beautiful Cake.
Yeah. I was going to defend, and then I thought, why bother. It's not like I'll change anyone's mind.
McKay is a carob character.
Oh, it is, I know. Sorry for being snippy. I'm not at my best today.
More Beautiful Cake for me!
Yeah, I know there's not an actual cake. Should be, though.
ETA: Er, that was in response to shrift, not a total lack of regard for Katie's bad day, for which I am sorry and to whom I am wishing a better one tomorrow.

Right. And I have a crush on Batman, so it's not like the sanity fairies are sprinkling me with sanity dust.
A lot of my favorite characters are assholes. And then there are the characters I want to marry, like Eric Weiss.
