Inspired by gregorum’s post concerning issues with startrek.website, which is ironic as lemmy.world is a bit glitchy right now and isn’t letting me upload and had to use my alt here.

    This is the kind of thing that kept me out of the fandom for years. I have zero interest in hearing how bad you think Discovery or Enterprise or whatever is, but by God you and everyone else will be sure to explain it to everyone repeatedly.

    Only when asked. It’s a legitimate point for discussion and it comes up from time to time and so what? Can’t you read the subject line or look at the meme (see: OP) and just avoid clicking on the discussion? Why are you even here to read this? You knew what it was going to be!

    The only thing that’s wrong around all of this is that when I give my perfectly reasonable and widely-held opinion, I’m liable to be fucking banned for it in certain places because people like you are wielding the hammer.

    This keeps you out of the fandom? Jesus H. Christmas, maybe you need to spend your days in a room lit only by candlelight wearing earplugs and doing nothing but reading actual paper books? This is every fandom in existence on the Internet without exception.

      Or maybe they had a point, I’m not the only one calling you out.

      Note personal attack you inserted into your reply. I’ll quote it for you:

        You ignore my question as to why you’re even in this thread, naturally.

        Or maybe they had a point, I’m not the only one calling you out.

        Or maybe they fucking don’t. The top comment in this particular thread is “Na fuck discovery specifically,” and it has 6 upvotes. Second-most upvoted comment in this entire thread (currently 34 upvotes) is someone who says “No,” followed by “You have been banned from the community: [email protected].”

        So, my opinion about the practice of banning people for stating their opinions - as with my opinion about Discovery being dogshit - seems to be in a very comfortable majority, thanks.

        Also, if it makes you feel better to call that a “personal attack” - as if that has anything at all to do with anything I have said - then by all means, knock yourself out.

        Edit: And for anyone who might stumble upon this in the future, notice how this jerkoff both: a) refuses to respond to the perfectly reasonable question as to why he would even be here in the first place and b) downvotes me to zero because there’s nobody left in the thread to defend me because it’s been over for days. Get fucked you fucking coward. I’m guessing he’s an /r/startrek mod because petty and cowardly is what they do oh-so-well.
