Oh dear gods you’re serious aren’t you? *puuuuuuuuuuuuuke*

And a lot of us are outraged than an innocent man was murdered and there has been no justice for the hundreds of others who were murdered before him. We want justice same as you.

How the hell is that even possible? The cop had his weight on the man’s neck with his knee! Even if he didn’t constrict his airway, that pressure surely at least partially blocked the blood vessel on that side. Which means that even if air is getting into the lungs and oxygen exchange happening there, at least some of…

Because even 400 years from now Commodore fans will still be trying to bring back the glory days of the venerable 64.

I hate when people dismiss Uhura as a mere “switchboard operator”. Anyone who knows shit about shit could tell you that naval communications is a vital role aboard any military vessel and is a demanding, highly technical position that requires a high degree of advanced expertise. Uhura demonstrates a skillset that…

You know it’s possible to agree with a position and messaging / themes associated with it while also feeling that the execution of such is being done in a ham-fisted, condescendingly preachy and poorly delivered way, right?

I’d bet a thousand quatloos that person was a 4chan troll spouting garbage they don’t even believe in just for the lulz. I deal with those types in game from time to time, they make a bit of a stir for a bit before the majority clicks ignore on them and the subject gets changed. Their whole purpose is to cause…

Hmm, calling for people’s deaths and insulting them for their opinion of a show and / or the disingenuous tactics used to deflect criticism... remind me again, which side of the debate is the one filled with toxic hateful people?

“Is everyone who hates the new Star Wars trilogy racist and sexist too?”

Oh bullshit. DS9 fans tend to think the show improved dramatically when the Defiant was introduced and consider it with Sisko in command the most badass hero ship ever on Trek. The common fan nickname for it is “The Sisko’s motherfuckin’ almighty pimp hand”. They love that he got an upgrade in badassery when he…

If you think Dukes was racist / bigoted, you clearly never paid attention to the show. The theme was fighting the corruption of the rich white good-old-boys network that are the direct inheritors of the power and wealth of the plantation and slave owning class from the Civil War. The Confederate flag was their way of…

This article and countless others like it are all about screaming anger and outrage and self-righteousness in order to get a rush and feel good, all in order to drive clicks and ad revenue for the site they appear on.

You mean all these supposed attacks on actors that have never had even specific information attached to them let alone screenshots. Somehow these were both widespread and yet completely invisible except to those reporting their existence. Find me one report that actually includes an original source and not a reference …

“And even if the thing is about 97% the same as before (Exhibit A: The Force Awakens), that non white dude-ness is what rankles at them.”

Was there a small number of trolls espousing right-wing bigoted talking points? Yes, that’s the internet and you will always get a mix of independent trolls and organized ones who are drawn to anything popular and potentially controversial. Many of those don’t even believe in what they’re saying, simply seeking to…

Corporatism combined with cronyism IS capitalism.

I’d happily boycott Apple products except I already don’t buy anything they make.

Greatest action star of all time, how about that?

That’s what I want, have wanted for years and years. Ideally, if I could produce it, I’d go for a cable / streaming series with the basic format of Tour of Duty (a Vietnam War show from the 80s). No time travel, no Connors, no big stakes, just the lives and experiences of an average Tech-Com unit in the post-nuclear he…

Salvation was NOT that movie. It attempted to be but sailed very far from the mark.
