I don’t like using the word idiot for anyone who tries to sit down and talk level-headedly about their choices. But you absolutely, definitely made the wrong call here. And I certainly hope no one follows in such hasty, thoughtless footsteps.

If the acronym KKK makes you chuckle, then you my friend have a problem. You KNOW what it means, and KNOW how people feel about that, so you think of US (your consumers); As foolhardy jerks who find humor in racism... We aren’t you, and I concur with your name not being in the credits. Cya homeslice.

You picked a hill to die on and everyone is wondering why you flopped down on a molehill.

So not only did the wordplay not localize, the developer themselves backed entirely away from the gag when the first part of the conversation was tabled.

....you do not demonstrate commitment to principles. You demonstrate commitment to your own self importance and being an asshole, and worse: being loud about it. I…

Yeah that’s the crazy thing to me. It’s not especially offensive, but it also isn’t even remotely funny, at least not without context. Seems like a weird hill to die on.

Yeah, I generally support liberal localization unless it devolves into utter sillyness (like some of the Fire Emblem stuff) or plain censorship... but this is not it. And he thinks he’s helping his cause by “starting a conversation”, but he’s doing the opposite.

Yeah, if the original game actually had a KKK reference, I would agree with him. So many games get censored when coming in the west while other games get censored when going in the east in the same way but in for some reason they are fine in the country of origin. But in this case, the KKK reference was not even…

This isn’t censorship, this is one guy trying to defend a bad joke that has no basis in the original text. It even says outright that the original name is a pun on light switches. What in the hell do light switches have to do with a radicalized Christian terrorist group?

There is no such thing as a good prequel. It’s never been done.

Anyone else getting UPN flashbacks when hearing about a new network that very few people will watch, launching with a new Star Trek series as their flagship show? (Though I highly doubt CBS All Access will have even half the success that UPN did...)

There is not a chance. There’d be Baby Kirk and Baby Spock and you’d find out their parents were actually good friends and helped design the Enterprise together. And then Khan would come over and borrow a cup of sugar, but Kirk and Sarek would accidentally give him a cup of salt instead.

It was DOA as soon as they made it another freaking prequel series.

That is profoundly cynical and profoundly accurate...sadly.

It was DOA the moment they decided to make it exclusive to their streaming service. They can’t pull it off to broadcast or put it on another platform, because that will be admitting that their plans for All Access are a failure before they get off the ground, but leaving it on there will just mean that they’ll both…

And CBS if I recall killed several fan shows because of this mess.

And they’ll say “See nobody watches Sci-fi.”

It will eventually get made & CBS will stick it behind a paywall with little or no announcement. When it does not premiere to “Prime Time” numbers, they will cancel it.

Undiscovered Country is by far my favorite. It had some really great humor (Chekov with the magnetic boot and that guys weird feet, Uhura with the English to Klingon books, those still make me chuckle just thinking about them) but it also had a serious cold war era theme running through it and it’s all tied together…

Never heard of uBlock, I’ll have to check it out. Thanks!
