People just aren’t ready for the conversation about Starfleet Academy and Discovery just not being primarily intended for an audience eye of straight, white, millennial and older dudes. And how much *other* Trekkie fan audiences could relate to the characters, finally.
Erotic Mythology ✊@hacks4pancakes I am not straight and not male (though admittedly, I'm old) and I couldn't bear watching more than 4 episodes of Discovery. It wasn't well-written and the characters were stereotypes. I don't fault anyone for liking it but how someone can relate to the characters without doing some very heavy lifting is beyond me.
Mike@AimeeMaroux @hacks4pancakes Fair. Your demographics don't determine your opinions.
However, I'm guessing that you didn't spend your time and energy denigrating those who did really like Discovery, you just didn't watch it?
It's the folks who think they're all that matters and if it isn't for them it shouldn't exist, and they'll expend a *lot* of energy to make it go away no matter who else might want it. Those are the folks that piss me off!
@mlippert @hacks4pancakes You are correct, I just didn't watch it. I may have expressed my dislike here or there but I don't care if others like it. Hell, sometimes you project something onto a character that is definitely not there in canon but you love the work basically for your own imagination and that's fine.
I just don't like the sweeping claim that only obnoxious cishet white dudes dislike Discovery or that there aren't any legit issues with its storytelling.
@AimeeMaroux @hacks4pancakes I'm glad you bothered to post particularly for that reason.
People have their own individual opinions and thoughts and I always try to push back when I hear someone make a statement that lumps everyone in a particular category into an amorphous mass with the same thoughts, actions and opinions.
I was trying to support you having your own opinion and contrast it with the actions of those some feel were a large contribution to us losing SFA. I hope that came across.
