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. It’s tiring seeing it time and time again. I’ve enjoyed the shows, you didn’t, that’s fine. At least you aren’t belittling the people that do like it, but that happens, too.
It reminds me of the Simpsons fans and their weekly discussions about which was the last great season. Who cares? It’s just an opinion. Can’t we just enjoy things we like?
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 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.
