I feel a great sense of loss over the #StarfleetAcademy cancellation. I knew it was coming bc of who owns Paramount but it still feels like a gut punch. I've been thinking a lot of grief, pain and loss lately. They can cancel this show, they can leave us in limbo over #DoctorWho's future, they can try to silence our voices of dissension but they won't succeed. We are still a creative force for good. Collectively we continue the fight. They will not break our spirit. We continue to #RESIST!! #StarTrek #uspol
@Phangurl No they canceled it? I thought a second season was already in taping! I really really liked the series :-(
@3x10to8mps yeah... Right?! It was so good. They finished filming 2nd season and I guess they'll show us the 2nd season eventually but they've already decided no more and they've cancelled it. They suck. 😞

@Phangurl Same here. There are a lot of bad faith actors trying to sway or quelch the few optimistic and/or humanist genre shows we have, and for now they seem to succeed. The Youtube algorithms work in their favour, the current Overton window too.

I'm wondering if a concerted effort by fans and organisations, on free platforms like the Fediverse, could be a show of resistance. Or at least support both creators and audiences trampled in these negativity stampedes?

@fanden agreed!!! πŸ–– I sure hope so.
@Phangurl I'm wondering aloud because I honestly don't have the spoons to practically deal with it myself, but do pass the idea on. And if you hear of something along those lines taking shape, I won't mind a heads up πŸ––πŸ™‚
@Phangurl There is a first petition for a third season, maybe interesting for you πŸ™‚

@Phangurl Starfleet Academy showed me:
1️⃣ It's always been possible to use the ST universe as a canvas to paint new, modern introspective challenges
2️⃣ There's narcissistic & senseless assholes in the YouTube ST fandom just as there are in the SW fandom.
3️⃣ Steve Shives remains my favorite ST channel ever.
