Why are you so upset? I'm not old or racist. You did look through my comments and cherry picked examples to try to smear me. I'm very liberal, but admitting that would be a big backpedal. You disagree with my opinions, so I must be evil. It's a bad sign with someone of your disposition is in a position of authority. If you wear the uniform you should strive to be worthy of it.

Is it gatekeeping to say fan fiction is not canon? Kurtzman's Trek is bad fanfiction with legal cover. I could write some nonsense and slap Star Trek on it and I wouldn't be able to force you to consider it Star Trek. If I had a billion dollars and bought the rights to the name would that change your mind?

If it ain't Tomino it ain't Gundam.

If it ain't Lucas it ain't Star Wars.

If it ain't Roddenberry it ain't Trek.

Importantly if you think Kurtzman is making Trek then you misunderstand the series. Star Trek is about a future where humanity lifts itself fully out of its worst aspects. It shows us what we should aspire to be. Kurtzman just wants to make Starship Troppers without the satire.

You have exactly one bargaining chit with politicians each election. First you need to make it very clear what is required in exchange for it, then you need to follow through. If you fail to do either then you'll just get more of the same or worse.

This is some next level mental gymnastics. Connect dots in whatever convincing fashion you want in lieu of attempting to understand someone's viewpoint.

I find the quality and variety of discussions on the fediverse to be lower than what I had on reddit. Lemmings have strong preconceived notions and little interest in changing viewpoints from new information. I think I'll be switching back.

Edit: you'll find that most of the comments deny any shortcomings of the culture and go directly to invalidating my opinions via character assassination. If lemmy was a community that actually stood for the ideals which it espouses it would take constructive criticism in the spirit in which it was intended. QED.
