A friend got me to try an episode of Lower Decks and it felt so cynical to me. To explain why I wasn’t interested in watching more, we watched Darmok and Measure of a Man. Trek was very aspirational back then.

Your refuse to allow a referendum for all of the rest of us commenters to change your opinion. You see the votes and yet you’re unwilling to change. You leave us no choice but to invade your comments for the sake of all the other commenters you’re oppressing that want you to change your opinion.

It’s cool to kill a bunch of people if some people want to be part of a different nation but aren’t willing to emigrate there? Get your head out of your ass.
I’m not sure it’s like this everywhere, but many airlines are more focused on financial products (like credit cards) for profit than flights. Here’s something about it, no guarantee of quality, but it’s enough to get the general idea: https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2023/09/airlines-banks-mileage-programs/675374/
Oh, you were talking about somebody misusing a FN identity they didn’t have. My mistake. It’s still a bad story idea.
You talk about “speaking the truth” about how you view minorities while bemoaning that white men, a group that has never ever done anything bad (/s), are portrayed negatively. If you don’t realize it, let me inform you that sort of thing comes off as pretty racist. Defending it by saying it’s more realistic or better writing in a show with talking octopuses doesn’t change that. If you do realize it, you’re an awful person.
I’ve reached the end of my patience for that particular type of bs with you and will be blocking you. Do better.
So you think it would be better for stories about Muslims to focus on the negative aspects of their religion? And it would have been better for FN people to be portrayed as racist cheats? I’m not sure if you realize how gross you’re being or if it’s on purpose, but never criticize other people’s writing ever again.
Not catering exclusively to white men isn’t virtue signaling. Stories of minorities having to fight for rights isn’t virtue signaling, it’s something that is very very relevant these days as well as historically. These are stories that people want to see and that are relevant to them. I’m sorry you feel if something’s not marketed to white men that it’s not surprising it failed. I’m sorry you don’t feel like those are stories worth telling. Go watch something else that doesn’t challenge what you think deserves to be told. Not Dark Winds. The cast has a lot of Native Americans and acknowledges systemic racism and makes jokes about how white people have been jerks to them. You’d hate it.
So you think the show should have portrayed white men as superior to minorities? Or you think there’s not enough representation for white men? Or you think every. single. show should be for white men? Do you have crap opinions on Dark Winds as well?
Easier for other people to bend, too. Get a wooden one and keep it dry. Nobody bends wood.
Also, the houses are in poorer towns that are depopulating.
Jim Bakker comes to mind. What are some other poor persecuted saints (/s)?
The soundtrack from old Twin Peaks gets stuck in my head a lot.
The plot for each season was the same: a lie meant to protect somebody ended up harming them and they found out anyway. Once I realized that, it definitely got less entertaining.
So neither one of your two methods of proof that a whole class of people is awful are good (also you didn’t cite any statistics), so I’m a teen troll?
Have the day you deserve.
Lol, so your proof is “trust me, I’m from a group I’ve said is full of criminals.”
Incarceration of a population may indicate over policing of a population. You still haven’t said anything substantial. Do you expect anybody to take you seriously?
The plural of anecdote is not data. Got any actual statistics so we know there’s an actual issue and it’s not just confirmation bias?
Darkwing Duck and Wonderfalls always get stuck in my head.
