Wasn’t everyone good looking in previous Star Trek shows too? Maybe I just have low standards…

Yeah, also just a random selection of actors will probably be pretty attractive. People who want to be on tv/movies also tend to either be attractive already or try to make themselves attractive.

How dare a TV show have good-looking actors!

I’m not toxic, you’re toxic! Screw you guys, I quit.
Lord_ToRA@lemmy.world 9 months ago
I’m toxic cause I made a joke at no-one’s expense and got a severely disproportionately adverse reaction?
What does your comment here even add to this community? You’re just needlessly punching at someone because they made a joke people didn’t agree with which insulted no one. My joke, while many people didn’t like it, still got people to talk about star trek and add to the participation of the community. On the other hand, your comment just adds needless vitriol and has nothing to do with star trek.
To me, it’s very clear that this community, with your help, exudes toxicity. I just wanted to join in on having fun with star trek and got downvoted to hell for it and comments at my expense. Even comments like yours which only add toxicity to the community are being rewarded with upvotes.
I’m mildly interested to hear how that is not solid evidence of a toxic community, but not from someone who immediately jumped to kick me while I’m down because I called out the community for their toxic behavior.
Landmammals@lemmy.world 9 months ago
You threw out a joke that didn’t land. Which is fine, it happens all the time.
Your reaction to that joke not landing was really bad. And you deserve a little bit of pushback for being so butt hurt about people not liking your joke. And the angrier you get at everyone else, the more you push yourself out of the conversation.
We like Star trek, we like jokes, we’ve all made jokes that didn’t work before. Just let it go and move on.
Lord_ToRA@lemmy.world 9 months ago
I’m not upset about it not landing, logically more jokes fall flat rather than land. Instead I found the severely disproportionately adverse reaction to be very distasteful.
Don’t particularly agree with a comment? Don’t upvote it. Just move on. And that is what non-toxic communities will do. Downvotes are essentially saying “this does not belong at all” because they are taking the time to act rather than moving on.
And again, I received some very toxic replies, including from OP which were immediately upvoted, though some of those were deleted.
These things together signal a toxic overall attitude, and particularly so when met with even more toxicity when calling it out, like your comment.
the more you push yourself out of the conversation.
I really don’t care if I am making things worse by retorting with reasoning and logic. Y’all already burned that bridge. Would a Klingon care that a Ferengi disapproves of defending his honor? Why would I care that toxic people disapprove of me pointing out their toxicity?
Hopefully this community pushes out this toxic behavior, which can really only happen by calling it out and using downvotes appropriately.

You asking others what their comment adds when you’ve been ranting and raving a day after you claimed you wouldn’t participate here is telling.
As you condescendingly told the guy who didn’t properly screenshot his /c/privacy issue last week, “You can do better in the future”.
Lord_ToRA@lemmy.world 9 months ago
You asking others what their comment adds when you’ve been ranting and raving a day after you claimed you wouldn’t participate here is telling. It’s not and you have provided no reasoning as to why. Saying things out loud does not make them true. Am I wrong in wanting to defend my point that I am experiencing needless toxicity in this community with reasoning and logic?
I just threw out a harmless joke and got rude replies thrown back into my face which were supported by others. I called out that toxic behavior and got even more toxic responses which also garnered support by the community. Some of the toxic comments were deleted. Here’s one that OP deleted (I wonder why): Image
I have a small amount of optimism that by pointing out this toxicity and backing up my claims may lead to an improvement in the future, or as you quoted me saying before “You can do better in the future”. Then again, maybe not and I could be wasting my time, but I think should at least try.
SeedyOne@lemmy.ca 9 months ago
Downvotes for a lame joke that missed the mark = toxic? I read all the responses, nothing toxic there… so what else could it be? Perhaps you aren’t ready for the Internet.
Lord_ToRA@lemmy.world 9 months ago
Your comment is perfect proof. Thanks.
SeedyOne@lemmy.ca 9 months ago
Seems the universe says otherwise.
Lord_ToRA@lemmy.world 9 months ago
The same people who reward your toxic comments with upvotes means the whole universe disagrees? That’s not a biased result at all!

Most people most of the time look fine. All you have to do is wash your hair and not be grossly overweight it isn’t difficult especially when you have access to makeup artists. What point are you trying to make
WoahWoah@lemmy.world 9 months ago
Oh no… they won’t participate anymore. What will we NPCs do without our main character?
iegod@lemm.ee 9 months ago
They look like normal humans.
Jaytreeman@kbin.social 9 months ago
My thought too. It's amazing how having a professional makeup artist can turn an average into a stunner.
echodot@feddit.uk 9 months ago
It’s amazing sometimes you see some actors when they are being personally responsible for their own hairstyles. They look homeless.

Aw I miss him. To your point, I always got the sense that he was hideous for an Andorian.
samus12345@lemmy.world 9 months ago
He’s an Aenar, a distinct sub-species of Andorian. I think they all look more or less like that.

In a world where money has no value, everyone can afford to have proper nutrition and medical care, reducing obesity. Furthermore, if one is in a pseudo military organization, one would probably have to be physically active and fit.
Ghost33313@kbin.social 9 months ago
Beyond that, Starfleet is supposed to be the best of the best of the best. While that doesn't extend the aesthetics it is reasonable to believe that people so driven would tend to look good.
