@don Toxic masculinity is a helluva drug.

@ValueSubtracted Thanks for the reminder. Yeah, I would never link because eww, but a screenshot for general pointing-and-laughing was just too tempting.

@DarkCloud If I wanted to be charitable, I’d acknowledge that there haven’t really been progressive Republicans pretty much since Reagan, so younger conservatives haven’t been exposed to them.

@Zephorah And all of this is pretty obvious to anyone with their brain turned on. But even that seems a bridge too far for some.

@PhilipTheBucket They get such a shallow understanding of things, and then get all butt hurt when other people provide a much more logical interpretation based on the specifically stated intents of the original show creators.

@LadyMeow I was hoping they’d all be raptured a couple of weeks ago. Imagine all the problems that would have immediately been solved.

@owenfromcanada These people have invested their entire identities in being miserable. Which ironic because ST is largely optimistic about the future.

@Kirk Gotta appreciate the thinly veiled “great fan replacement” theory. How very subtle. I’m sure the author (whoever that is) felt ever so witty.

@Archangel1313 Noooo, true ST is about straight manly men kicking alien butts!

@GlassHalfHopeful I’ve enjoyed Prodigy and Lower Decks, but I’ve varied between indifference and anger at Discovery and Picard.

@GlassHalfHopeful @ValueSubtracted Exactly my view as well. I still like SNW, though, even though the last season was thin gruel in terms of writing.
