Comment on What are the biggest red flags when talking with a Trek "fan"?

• UlyssesT@hexbear.net ⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

  So what about any of that screams “the Terran Empire did nothing wrong” to you?

  I wasn’t talking about you in particular, nor was I making the connection to that character when I was talking about red flags until you forcibly made it for me.

  Read again. I was talking about people posting sometimes hours-long screeds in public zone chat channels in an online game about how badly they want to exterminate undesirables, that also happen to almost universally identify with the Terran Empire or Section 31 between such rants.

  Because you went off into the weeds to talk about a specific character, I did happen to roll my eyes at “the mass murdering dictator is sorry and that somehow means she is okay now” argument, though it was a different topic and wasn’t even connected to what I was saying about toxic fans (and the actual topic brought up in this thread).

  Or would you rather keep deflecting?

  Spare me the catty reddit-logo smugness. It’s toxic nonsense.

    Cool cool, you’re just inverting irrelevant comments into a discussion I was having with someone else.

    Truly dazzling.

      Are you continuing to believe that your sidetrack fandom-driven defensiveness had much to do with what I was talking about to begin with, even after I answered your still-silly and increasingly-off topic claim that a character feeling bad and promising to do better somehow un-does the atrocities she did before?

      I’m not going to congratulate you for your favorite bad writing cliche.

      Truly dazzling.

        Hey look, the guy who broke the land speed record on the way to Godwin has thoughts on cliches!
