I gave up on it. First trek I did.

Apart from many points already made in the thread for me the worst thing was the acting quality of the Burnham actress and some inclusive actors didn’t cut it for me in theirs quality and took me out the thing. It’s somewhat uncomfortable to say this because you get accused of all kind of things, but I liked many actors in the cast. I loved the cientific guy but didn’t like his partner (thought he overacted) I liked the asian badass emperor but couldn’t stand the spirit of the cello guy.

This is no mean as a disrecpect to them I just didn’t like it and when I read the scripts I liked them better than seeing them acted out.

People call this “voting with your money”

Can anyone just fill a complain?

I have a feeling we don’t do enough.

It must be something to protest legally as a hidden fee or something. I would put money in a crowdfunding for cases like this.

Citizens against apathy or something.

K, just did my part gonna keep lingering.

Do you know why dogs licks their own genitals?

Because they can.

Fair trade if you ask me.

Check again. Things changed a lot.

How dare you. Recently in my university there was a free course only for women ( i.t. related) men are directly not allowed to participate.

So instead of equality we’re going for revenge. And no one dare deny it. The problem is many young adults only have lived through this all his life if they are like 18-20. They didn’t get to see how bad was it and are only receiving this biased reality, and some of them being radicalized in both directions.

Of course there are many patriarchal things still worth fighting for. But this kind of blind religion "islam make women slaves (true) so we women are all victims of slavery ( not true)… Said a civil worker with exactly the same rights as me, or more, since she can attend that course in my university.

Wow really young. Must’ve been a tough life after the pope thing

This is kind of what I was pointing at. Maybe I didn’t word my post well. English is not my mother tongue.

“You are doing the fucking boomer shit that kids are too sensitive these days”

You are an impolite person talking like that. I didn’t say anything about kids and know kids these days that are more balanced than many old people. I’m millenial, BTW.

“Be a tough guy”

I’ll be whatever I want, thx. Go tell some people to be what you like. Surely you sound tough with all that big words.

Emotional impact.

I too prefer non toxic interactions, but also try to not build and echo chamber.

That would’ve been nice, and such a good idea… Now fix SNW, I liked lower decks but now feels weird

I answered to another post.

I don’t know why everyone assumed I was chosing a side.

Actually I was trying to make a blank statement. I agree with you but I don’t think people who post that kind of posts you mention are tough at all.

There are toxic people being upset all around and being triggered because someone is defending their rights. I think we as a society should be more tolerant in general and stop dwelling in absolutes.

But that’s another issue. My point is that if the two choices are tough or vulnerable, give me a little bit of both depending on the situation. I wrote a personal example further up.

I didn’t say anything about cultural wars. I specifically avoided the issue in my example. Getting really upset because some wrote something is not a good thing for real life IMO, doesn’t matter who wrote what (provided it’s not news, of course). Part of a good society is the old adamant “I don’t agree with you at all but will defend your right to say it”.

We are constantly selling vulnerability as a gift, and I agree it’s important to be yourself and be able to show your emotions. what about people who know how to be vulnerable but not know how to be tough? Do you think that is healthy?

For instance (this happened to me) : you have a son and he breaks his arm, you are taking him to the hospital and he is crying and worried, he is only 8. You don’t know the extent of the injury, but it looks bad. You, as a parent, can calm him, even if you yourself are really scared. For me that is time to be tough. I can also show my vulnerability and tell the kid “I’m scared, I hope it is not anything serious” but in this case I find this showing of vulnerability a bit selfish, since you are adding to the kids angst.

As someone posted, being tough is not opposite of being vulnerable (that’s op’s fault, not mine) but if those are the options, sometimes it can be necessary to be tough.

By the way, I did cry once the kid was being taken cared of, and his sibling was with me in the car, and I explained to him that I was sad but confident everything would be ok.

I agree, but I also think there’s too much “vulnerable” nowadays. It’s important to be vulnerable, but it’s also important to be tough, mostly when there’s no big deal. “Some people on the internet are saying bad stuff and it triggered me and now my day is ruined…”

For me, it became too much with the identity crisis that actor had, such a not so subtle metaphor it felt like force feeding, and I just couldn’t buy the acting of too many of the cast (I loved some of them too) Even s03 was kind of ok, I liked having more trek. It’s unfortunate that it became a meaning to sell other stuff. I was there to buy equality, moral highgroung, positive outlook of the future and profesionalism.

I love star trek and wanted to like this for so much.

I followed it for a few seasons when everyone of my friends and forums were already criticizing it. But then it got to be too much and even I couldn’t stand it anymore.

Such a pitty but this is not the trek I came to love. I hope they have success but I really can’t stand the writing and am out off by some acting I won’t name.

I had hope for this series, s01 was ok. Can’t watch it now.

Pornlemmy, You say? I’ll be right back.
