I read this via RSS and came here to comment, only to find that the article was flagged. Did the critical examination of classic liberal values and current political trends hit too close to home? Most of the analysis seemed spot-on.
Also, it made me feel better about not watching Discovery or Picard.
- ajmurmann 4y agoI wonder if some folks only read the headline and thought it was a "own the libs" piece
- ASalazarMX 4y agoI used to participate in the r/StarTrekDiscovery, an offshoot of r/StarTrek with a somewhat toxic fan base. If you write the wrong pronoun of a fictional character, it gets you a stern warning from the moderators, or a ban if you don't learn your lesson. Seems like it leaks into other social networks.
- lostmsu 4y agoDiscovery had pronouns beyond he/she?
- ASalazarMX 4y agoYou didn't know? If you thought Michael being the angsty human stepsister of Spock who somehow was a better Vulcan than Vulcans was unrealistic, get ready for Adira. Adira is a human non-binary girl who was in a relationship with Gray Tal, a transgender male Trill. TL;DR Gray gets hurt bad, and his symbiont gets passed to Adira (despite TNG establishing that humans aren't compatible hosts), becoming Adira Tal. The symbiont holds the memories of all the previous hosts, which somehow allows her to chat with Gray as a separate person. IIRC it even got to the point that Gray's vision can go and experience things independently of Adira. https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Adira_Tal https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Adira_Tal https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Gray_Tal https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Gray_Tal
