  Hey look, it’s the guy from the article!

    Is it toxic to not like a poorly written character? I have absolutely nothing against the actress and wouldn’t ever wish harm on an actor/actress just because of a character they portrayed. Are we not allowed to have differing opinions on art?

      Wandering the internet to loudly declare your disinterest in things?

      Besides time-consuming (it’s a big Fediverse, so you must not get a lot of sleep)…yeah, kind of toxic.

        It was in the hot feed… It’s not like I did a ton of “wandering”. One post is hardly “loudly” declaring anything. What’s louder is all the people jumping to conclusions about who I am as a person and as a fan from the one comment.

      Well it’s a different show with different writers and she isn’t playing the timid and anxious character she was in early Discovery.

      • FlexibleToast@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

        Her being timid wasn’t really the part of her character I didn’t like. The fact that she was timid was her only character flaw was what made her a week character. Like she never struggled other than to accept that she was capable of doing things.

      Well, it is somewhat obnoxious to show up and say “hey! I’m here and I don’t know what I’m talking about!”

      • FlexibleToast@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

        I would accept obnoxious. I don’t think it is obnoxious to add a comment to a forum, but I understand that viewpoint. I just think it’s a far way from toxic.

  Found one of the toxic fans.

    Sure, if it makes you feel better to call me that. I just don’t care for the direction Trek went with Discovery. I do like SNW though.

  She’s a guest star in a single episode.

  • FlexibleToast@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    From what I’ve seen this show seems more like Discovery than classic Trek. Having Tilly show up confirms that for me. That’s a no thanks from me.

      I couldn’t stand Discovery but Academy very quickly won me over.

      source

      • FlexibleToast@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

        I mean, it’s Trek. I’ll probably eventually give it a shot. But the stench of Discovery is all over this one.

  Well done, you.

  Keep at it.

  Healthier that way.

  It would hurt beyond your worst conception of how bad it could be.
