Go back to Reddit, I thought we were beyond blatant woman hating shit

Unfortunately.

Sexual harassment is not funny just because the victim is a straight guy. If this happened to a woman, everyone would be rightfully up in arms.

The more you “they/them” this guy and conflate this with transphobia, the more you equate men with a crossdressing fetish with trans women. He did not deserve this obviously, and kinks are good and nice, but I am really, really over “allies” who constantly equate crossdressers and fetishists with trans people.

Or he didn’t know and it was just another appointment to cross off his calendar, most likely.

I thought we were past punchlines that entirely consist of “haha, sex”.

?? I specifically don’t use KDE because I cannot stand its modern design. I’m on Trinity DE because I want something more 2012. This is not 2012 at all.

I don’t mind this.

But it does have 4G and GPS and all.

Just because you don’t? I use e-mail as my main way of messaging people I know and like.

You are using a fake app.

I don’t mean the political takes or anything, I meant more the super-stiff acting, the campy premises and the lacklustre “world building”, even though I dislike the term. All not the fault of the show at the time or anything, but I cannot enjoy any TOS rewatch these days.

How did we get from “in the future, humanity can build a utopia if we leave conservatism in the past and boldly go to explore the wonders of space” to “the power of friendship and believing in good® is the only thing saving humanity from the cruel world we have built”?

I mean, it fits the Americanized capitalist realism of new Trek, but it’s depressing. When did we downgrade back to platitudes and traditionalist values?

From campy 60s sci-fi written by a visionary, to upper class rich Hollywood writers’ idea of what’s “brave”? I feel more represented in the first one than in the high-fidelity America advertisement in the second picture. Not by much though, TOS hasn’t aged well.

DS9 is the pinnacle of queer Trek.

TOS really hasn’t aged well, but Discovery isn’t even up that low bar.
