    That women and minorities exist, and can and do everything white guys can do as jobs, and deserve to be treated like humans?
    The horror.
    The pure abject horror.
    You poor wounded little thing.
    Everybody, drop everything you were doing, and call FF a waaaahmbulance.
    You gonna be okay, little fella?
    You gonna be okay?
    Don't you die on me, dammit!!
    Don't you diiiee on meee!!!

    Nope. I’ve already proven that I don’t have a problem with women because if I did then I wouldn’t be a fan of so many shows and movies that I’m a fan of.

    Maybe you should come out of your echo chamber every once in a while, not every Star Trek fan thinks like you and they don’t all think Michael Burnham is God’s gift to the world. I just can’t wait until your little bubble bursts because it will.

    You've now started using the exact same schtick Castle is using at TK to tell people Biden didn't win and Trump will get 4 more years.

    You might wanna reflect on that.

    no... you made a list of media with female characters, many of whom would be good topics for feminist critique of the male gaze/proxy.

    The difference is I’m right and Castle is wrong.
    if I had a problem with women then I wouldn’t be a fan would I? You just can’t accept that Burnham is a poorly written character, can you?

    you've shown through your posts that you aren't a fan.
    Nobody is claiming she's written as Anna Karenina, but that the characterizations on Disco are striving for a complexity that we have rarely seen in Star Trek.

    As said, we've done this dance before, and you'll just keep misrepresenting everything.

    I’ve shown through my posts that I am a fan. What you want me that be is a sycophant because you see no major flaws in the show. Sorry, I’m not going to be that guy. If I’m misrepresenting something then by all means quote it because I don’t think I am.

    bullshit
    this is the basis of all your criticisms.
    everything else is denial that you're the racist little misogynist douchenozzle that so many others can see you for.

    I’m the only person here who’s brought any major criticism of the show. There’s plenty of people who don’t post here that have the same criticisms. It’s not racist or misogynistic to be against SJW bullshit and calling the show out for their bullshit.

    Look, I've said this before in my multiple "I used to be a Gamergater", threads in RR, but it bears repeating.

    Let's accept for the sake of argument that you believe with all of your soul you're not a misogynist racist.

    The arguments you make are lapped up like chocolate sauce by those who are.
    They are.
    They fucking are.
    They just fucking are.
    There's no wiggling out of this objective fact.

    Go to a forum of actual real white supremacists, you'll see the lingo.
    "Woke", "woke-scold", "SJWs", all of it.
    Fucking all of it.
    It's their candy.
    It's honey to bees.
    They live off it.

    Why do you want to give these people chocolate sauce?
    Why?
    Why do you even want to risk it?
    It should horrify you to the marrow to even risk it.
    Why doesn't it horrify you?
    Why?

    "Because I'm so goddamned right!"???

    Not good enough.
    Not fucking good enough.
    Why don't you get that?
    Why doesn't it get through your head?
    Why?

    Being "so goddamned right", isn't worth giving Nazis their food.
    It just isn't.
    Never will be.
    There will never be an occasion where this rule becomes reversed.
    Never.

    You're right, I'm bailing.

    plenty of us have criticized it, myself included.

    thing is none of those criticisms are based around "virtue signalling wokeness" but rather the quality of the story telling relative to and within the context of the franchise.

    And I too have also talked about the writing as well as the story telling and every time I get piled on by you guys even if I don’t mention anything to do with SJWs. I’m the only one who gets the brunt of the pile on.

    It seems absurd to get this upset about a casting call for a bunch of characters that are probably going to be glorified extras anyway. Does anyone seriously think the main focus of the show isn't going to be Pike, Spock, and Number One? :shrug:

    I’m not upset and I’m not the one who flipped out and reported my post and changed his avatar to Ban Federal Farmer over a tiny comment about how I think the show will follow in Disco’s footsteps.
