Oh God and the gaslighting.
Valid Criticisms:
Max drama deviates from star trek standard format
non episodic / arcs within arcs make it hard to jump in and follow
Everyone talks too fast (lampooned on SNW | LD crossover even!) Deus Ex (Time Travel | AI | Etc.)
MultiLithium gets really explody if you cry hard enough.
Not Valid:
Everything is too (Gender | Sexual Preference | Skin Color) for ST (these people have a vacation fuck planet, and regularly bone holocharacters, get over it we all know if Kirk had a holodeck he would have died in that thing).
Mushroom warp is stupid (fuck you I loved mushroom warp).
Okay so you'll notice I didn't have any specific criticisms of discovery listed, and people in this thread are calling me a bigot, dismissing my opinion, and being general assholes to me.
There also is someone who comes in, implied that the legitimate criticisms that have nothing to do with identity politics are BS and the real reason OP doesn't like Discovery is that they are a bigot.
wanders into a thread to defend bigots
wonders why everyone assumes they're a bigot
Oh fuck off. You are blatantly just an asshole using social justice as an excuse to justify your cruel behavior.
50 years ago you'd be the type of person saying DnD players are satanists and bullying them in the name of Jesus.
WON'T SOMEBODY PLEASE THINK OF THE RACISTS
They aren't racists any more than DnD players are satanists. You just want targets.
THE RACISTS YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT ARE NOT RACIST
