No. Your comment is wrong.
They openly are defending a known extreme transphobe who supports TERFS and donates to them. They underplayed the transphobia. They suggested that being bigoted against trans folks is okay because they’re a small subset of the population. They said that others were wrong for saying that she’s a transphobe despite her transphobic behavior. By saying that, they have openly stated their opinion. They didn’t need to say anything more. If you defend a transphobe thats because you are a transphobe.
The only person here who is naive as fuck is you.

Just gotta rework the lyrics of the song to make it Trek now…
- Comment on How Reddit Crushed the Internet's Largest Protest 11 months ago:
Well yeah they’re going to exist everywhere. But with Lemmy you have some accountability. On reddit you have none.
As for bans with no notifications, that’s not on the mods. That is on the developers of Lemmy and why so many people are frustrated with them. They’re ignoring admins, have no real timeline on feature development, and aren’t focusing on major issues that have been reported. The Lemmy Devs keep dragging their feet and if they’re not careful it could end up with someone making a lemmy competitor that still works with Lemmy. I know I’d go straight for it as a mod and as a user.

No. You just don’t know what you’re talking about lol

Well given you’re incredibly hateful and transphobic comment, not sure you’re gonna have a choice in that, bubba.
- Comment on OpenAI says it is investigating reports ChatGPT has become ‘lazy’ 11 months ago:
I use it fairly regularly for extremely basic things. Helps my ADHD. Most of it is DnD based. I’ll dump a bunch of stuff that happened in a session, ask it to ask me clarifying information, and then put it all in a note format. Works great. Or it did.
Or when DMing. If I’m trying to make a new monster I’ll ask it for help with ideas or something. I like collabing with ChatGPT on that front. Giving thoughts and it giving thoughts until we hash out something cool. Or even trying to come up with interesting combat encounters or a story twist. Never take what it gives me outright but work on it with GPT like I would with a person. Has always been amazingly useful.
Past month or two that’s been a complete dream. ChatGPT keeps forgetting what were talking about, keeps ignoring what I say, will ignore limitations and stipulations, and will just make up random shit whenever it feels like. I also HATE how it was given conversational personality. Before it was fine but now ChatGPT acts like a person and is all bubbly and stuff. I liked chatting with it but this energy is irritating.
Gimme ChatGPT from like August please <3

I don’t know whether to slap you or hug you

Yeah this doesn’t work well with Riker when the dude is a bastion of morality and openly refuses people who haven’t, or cannot, consent.
- Comment on THE GAME AWARDS : Announcing the Final Winners and Nominees 11 months ago:
Ima be real here but if someone didn’t watch the Game Awards then they’re probably not going to watch a video about the game awards. Especially when everything in it could be made text with zero loss of information.
- Comment on Just get a bigger fence 11 months ago:
Wrong. I dunno why so many people falsely believe this. The Prime Directive applies to EVERY civilization. Not just pre-warp ones. By that logic, Picard wouldn’t have had a problem taking Wesley in that episode because those people had warp access.

I’ve been sitting on it for a while too
- Comment on How Reddit Crushed the Internet's Largest Protest 11 months ago:
Bro if you comment in a subreddit the mods don’t like you’re instantly banned, even if ironic. Mods over there are on a power trip and the lack of a modlog means zero accountability.
- Comment on How Reddit Crushed the Internet's Largest Protest 11 months ago:
I started using reddit in 2011. Was nuts to see the changes it underwent. A lot of them bad.
Since leaving reddit during that protest, been more than happy to call Lemmy home. Especially when I go back to browse reddit occasionally and see how incredibly toxic and negative it is all the time. I don’t know if I was blind to it before or if it got worse. Every comment thread is awful. They focus on the negative of everything and are just bitter and angry.
Place sucks ass.
- Comment on Just get a bigger fence 11 months ago:
I think you’ve considerably misunderstood what the Prime Directive is… It doesn’t just apply to unevolved people. It also applies to civilizations that have warp too.

Exactly. I don’t want to do this shit but if I see someone lying or actively misrepresenting reality then I’m going to point it out.
- Comment on Just get a bigger fence 11 months ago:
People fucking suck. I hate humanity sometimes. Well, most times.
- Comment on Have we done this one already? 11 months ago:
I know I have this saved, not sure if I ever posted it, but even if it was done, who cares? 2.22k posts. Not everyones going to have seen all of 'em. STAR TREK BABY! BRING IT!
Also I just love this because I can really imagine Marina coming out of Troi and backhanding Riker for that.
- Comment on Just get a bigger fence 11 months ago:
Aaaand I’m out. So tired of people feeling the need to bash newer Treks to make some random point.

I have invested in so much Mentholatum…
- Comment on Just get a bigger fence 11 months ago:
Well, no, it must be left in because if you stick with your part of “every crazy request” then it completely ignores the entire spirit and purpose of the Prime Directive. Starfleet isn’t the be all and end all of morality. Their decisions affect them and the people within it but they’re not “Team America: Space Police.” They don’t go around judging which laws are good and which aren’t. ESPECIALLY when that perspective comes from them and them alone. Different cultures have different beliefs. Ignoring them and imposing your own on everyone is imperalistic as hell and directly against what Starfleet stands for.
Adding a clause to children works for me because the only purpose is to protect the children. The Prime Directive is still able to stand and work between cultures but this way Starfleet is able to say “Our cultures matter too and our culture says children whos brains aren’t done developing shouldn’t be executed for a mistake.” Sure it’s still fucked up that they’d do it to adults but they’re adults. They made their decision and their decision led to them doing stupid shit on an alien planet, fucking around and finding out.

I’m sorry but that entire blog post is utter garbage.

The majority of it is whining that Wil promoted a blocklist on twitter. That blocklist was originally made to block trolls and stuff but it ran out of support. One of the people working on it pushed their own which Wil supported. What Wil didn’t know, and what a lot of people didn’t know, was that the user had introduced personal blocks into that list and used it as their own thing. Wil openly admitted to not knowing this and trying to fix the problem. The article then seems to bash Wil repeatedly for this fact while leaning on “Well he didn’t share the tools enough!” as the sole reason why Wil should be shamed for this mistake. Considering Wil did fuck all other than make an honest mistake, I’m not giving it any credence personally.

“However, the most recent dust-up with Wheaton wasn’t about trans specific issues at all but over his friendship with Chris Hardwick.” Also not a remotely valid complaint as the accusations against Chris Hardwick were made by one woman, was investigated, and found to be demonstrably false. I’m not about to shame Wil for being friends with someone who didn’t do anything wrong. So much so that I’m going to quote Wil Wheaton himself on that debacle because I refuse to put anymore effort into it.
I’m not going to apologize to people who were let down by me, because I waited for the facts to come in instead of rushing to join their angry mob. Chris was investigated multiple times and cleared of every accusation, by all of them. And that’s still not good enough for some people, who I also will not apologize to. If ANYTHING his accuser said were true, we wouldn’t be having this conversation. Because fundamental values matter. I am not and will not be friends with someone who sexually assaults another person or any of the other things she lied about, and I’m insulted that you think I would be.
Let me be really clear about this: she didn’t exaggerate. She didn’t take things out of context. She straight up LIED. She made things up that aren’t true. She lied about multiple events that I and others witnessed. And there is so much more you don’t know about, because it was never made public. So I didn’t make a friendship exception, because there was no friendship exception to be made. After the facts came in, I stood with and supported my friend who didn’t do any of the things he was accused of doing. I stood by my friend who was cleared multiple times by multiple investigations. I stood by my friend who I had LONG and DIFFICULT conversations with, as I went through every single accusation with him, in my personal effort to get to the truth.
I know there are people who just don’t want to hear this, because they would possibly feel bad about being part of that angry mob, but that doesn’t make it less true: Chris was in a toxic relationship that was unhealthy and horrible. I had a front row seat to it. They were TERRIBLE together. They fought all the time. They brought out the absolute worst in each other. It was awful. All of that is true. And none of the things she said about him in her essay happened. That is also true. She made it all up, because, in her own words, she couldn’t let him “win” when they broke up, whatever the fuck that meant.
I’ve given you a lot more of my time than I wanted to. I’m just real sick and tired of this lie about Chris going unchallenged by people who paid attention to the lie and then either ignored or rejected the truth when that truth came out.
So to recap: Wil Wheaton is “problematic” for making a genuine mistake and for backing up his friend who did nothing wrong.
Yeah. Doesn’t seem that problematic to me.

To be fair they wanted to execute a child for tripping. Fuck the Prime Directive in that case and fuck that planet. There should very much be a clause for protecting your own citizens provided they’re literal children.
- Comment on Just get a bigger fence 11 months ago:
Oh 100%. He’s a delightful man. Still so frustrated at the people who made him quit Twitter ages ago with the con Stan “Shut up Wesley” shit.
