It blows my mind Wil is in his 40s then I remember I used to watch TNG fresh as a kid.
Would it blow your mind doubly to find out he's actually in his 50s?
Shit, actually I remembered it wrong cuz he did say that in one of those interviews with the cast he does and my brain still subtracted 10 years cuz "no fucking way dude" I guess.
Ha did your brain start counting by your age? Mine does that. Oh that was 60 years ago. Wait no it wasn't...then I start counting ... Not sure whether to 😂 or 😭 it's boggling.
I am happy for the guy, but I think I would have picked one of the other contestants.
I mean LaVar Burton is right there
You saying that like Frakes isn't in the back row, ready to step over as many chairs as needed to get that ring.
Is it bad that when I read "Will" I immediately looked for Johnathan Frakes instead of Wheaton ?

Wil Wheatons wife is 3 years older, not 30. What the hell is wrong with you?
And seriously in what world are people complaining about famous actors marrying someone older than themselves.

Is it? Wil Wheaton isn’t like mega star or anything but there’s a decent chance any random person knows he’s an actor

Dude, as a fellow neurodivergent person, it’s not comparable to blackface. Like not even a little. It’s definitely mocking autistic people sure, but people need to stop comparing shit to blackface

Parodies, mockeries, buffooning, cruel depiction for humorous effect. Really anything other than comparing it to a form of racialized mockery that depicted a group of people as less than or barely human within a lifetime of the ending of their centuries of enslavement. I understand that it can feel like they’re similar but people are way too comfortable comparing mockery to blackface.

Oh you’re one of those lunatics.
Like yeah I have my issues with the misogyny present in many drag queen’s acts. Many others mock gendered expectations as a whole and can be quite funny without offense. But what would I know, I’ve only been discussing the feminist theory around drag in lesbian and lgbt spaces for most of a decade and have had my mindset influenced by bio queens and some particularly amusing drag kings as well as some drag queens who clearly have respect and awe for the women they parody.
So yeah, also not even close to blackface.
Uhm, drag shows are absolutely not comparable in any way to blackface. The fact that you make that comparison reveals that you have little to zero understanding of drag or its history.
