=="Partner's Complaint" and Fandom==
When it first aired, the episode was extremely controversial for having Daria & Jane still in conflict, for having Daria be in the wrong and apologise to Jodie, for Jodie 'selling out', and for Jane being too nasty when they make up. Contemporary arguments against it can be seen in essays like [[Cynic's Complaint]] (that Daria being wrong damages the show), [[Objectivity Free Landslide Victory]] (that Daria looks too sanctimonious and Jodie's forgiven for hypocrisy), and [[Why Did It Come To This
The episode has since become more popular, with more fans coming around to Jodie's viewpoint - often seeing it as down to her race, where she'll need to use any resource to give her an advantage against institutional racism - and liking how Daria is challenged. It has also changed as fandom has been comfortable with seeing Daria as less of an admirable figure. In the [[Daria Episode Analyses]], [[WellTemperedClavier]] said "“Partner’s Complaint” is one of my favorites because it makes very clear just how difficult it can sometimes be to spend time with Daria."
