Thank you so much for the link! I had meant to find the video as soon as I heard about it, but I don't think lierdumoa had posted it to her lj at that time. And yes, I don't think JW is conscious of how he reinforces a lot of incredibly problematic tropes, though that doesn't make their use less painful; in the vein of your thoughts here, I like the observations by ratcreature, veejane, and others (at lierdumoa's journal and elsewhere) about the mapping of Western tropes onto the Reavers, &c. and their implications.
