Except she’s not, she’s playing with people subverting the tropes. For example her pornhub videos are her fully clothed playing with chickens. People are outraged because they are waking up to she was teasing them and they have no sense of humour.

To be fair Tolkien pretty much invented the gambit with the Silmarillion.

OH GOD! I entirely forgot about that! I’ve not watched M*A*S*H since the last episode when I was a kid. (I don’t remember if she was on the short lived After Mash when they worked in a hospital states side.)

Okay this is the first Disney live action remake that actually has me intrigued (though they missed an opportunity to cast Ming-Na Wen). 

You should consider Disney World, I mean it is Peak America being Orlando Florida but it opens its Galaxy’s Edge in August. It’s a shorter flight and the crowds may not be as insane. I’m doing it in January for much the same reason as you. :-P

Oddly, it’s what kept my faith in the internet for so many years. The groups I hung around with have created lifelong friendships that I’ve now had over half my life. All it took was Twitter and Facebook to burn that to the ground. But man, boy oh boy the flame wars that we could get into. I primarily was in the…

It will take more than those bottom feeders to make me tap out of Doctor Who. I’ve been watching the show since the first Baker I’m not going to stop due to the internet. :-)

Dude, they already did them and have for some time. Hell the entire Brexit thing was them pissing on Britain. The killing of citizen was their rubbing it in Britain’s noses.

Russia “doesn’t have a problem with fake news” because they literally murder any critical journalists. God damn Trump is a buffoon, I really pray for my American friends that they make it out of the Trump years.

Ah the flamewars of Usenet in the 90s. I remember it well.

Nowhere did I say I gave up the things I love, I said I gave up their fandoms. Have you had death threats directed towards you? Have you had someone hunt down private pictures of your partner and then use them to publicly fat shame them in conversations with you in order to insult you? If you had, perhaps you’d…

Agreed, it’s like the “millennials are ruining the world” shtick people pull. The millennials aren’t the problem it’s the “old timers” that are the most annoying.

As long as people have gathered in one place there’s always been one jerk who ruined it for everyone else.

Ditto, at this point in my life I’m well into the “old timer” segment but I love the new additions contributions. It’s sad that people are so set in their ways that they can’t just share the love.

That’s what I’m doing, that’s why I tapped out of these fandoms. I still watch all the things I love but I don’t engage outside of people I specifically know which is sad in a way. Science Fiction used to bring people together and let them talk at cons and on the Usenet. Now twitter and Facebook have given us such…

I’m part of several projects and have to manage social media for them. Honestly, the only thing keeping me on social media is my commitment to my friends and the projects we are working on together. Twitter in particular is just mental self harm.

That’s what caused me to tap out before her first episode even aired. I mean it’s a world where an old man flies around in a box that’s bigger on the inside than the out. That a species can flip genders is somehow something they are unwilling to accept. I was just done with it. (Now if they watched the show and had…

I have to say over the last decade I’ve tapped out of every cultural element I’ve considered myself a fan of due to toxic fandom. Star Wars, Doctor Who, Star Trek, comics, video games, the fantasy literary community, the science-fiction literary community. I’m not saying it was better when we were younger, when fandom…

You deserve all of the stars!

Not superior?
