Seriously? their attack against an asshole transphobe is… calling her tr*nny and being exactly as shitty as her?
Some time ago I was so sick of reading complaints about the “nu-trek wokeism” I started a rewatch of the different shows making a list of the obviously woke things touched in every episode to make a long thread, episode by episode… I abandoned the idea because watching it “just to prove a point” wasn’t enjoyable, and it felt dumb having to explain why this or that is progressive.
Some episodes haven’t aged well, and Star Trek has lagged in some issues (lgtb specially) but they were really progressive for the time they were aired. The anti racism for example was constant an pretty on the nose. Every mention of capitalism in TNG being treated as a dumb teenager phase in humankind story…
I don’t get how you can watch that, and consider yourself a fan, and ignore all of that.
That reminded me a bit of that time I was spending the summer at grandparent’s and went to the gas station to buy a few things I needed, and saw a magazine special dedicated to a tv show that was really popular with girls at that time, including a dvd and 3d anaglyph glasses. Picked it too.
Cute early 20s girl in the counter: “ohhh, do you like this show?? :D” Me: “no, I’m just buying it for the 3D glasses for using them with Minecraft” girl: “oh okay :/”
me, almost a week later, playing Minecraft at 3 or 4 AM: “wait, was that flirty?”
My first one was Star Trek TNG: Advanced Holodeck Tutorial for Game Gear. I wasn’t really a trekkie back then (had watched a few of the TOS movies with my dad and liked them but didn’t really care much about Star Trek until around the 30th anniversary I think). I remember thinking the game’s enterprise design was dumb and wanted the stylized one from the movies back (and Kirk and Spock and Scotty instead of these “random stand-ins” :P)
And I think my favorite one was a heavily modded Bridge Commander. I didn’t really play much of the actual game (or “the campaign” as kids call it today) but spent probably around 100 hours playing custom scenarios, battles from the movies and shows.
I was thinking about manually editing every comment to replace them with lorem ipsums and similar rubbish text, I wonder if they would mark that as “suspicious activity” and lock me out of my account? I read some people in the past had similar issues with mass deletions or edits.
