Pretty sure sexism plays a huge role in why Voyager was disliked so much.
100% People were mad about a woman captain, a woman chief engineer, and Kes just being there. I remember reading some forums back then that were just awful. It made me sad because Voyager was my favorite show at the time since Tuvok and Tom Paris are both awesome. Them adding skinsuit of nine to pander to that subgroup of fans was just stupid. Don't get me wrong, I love Seven and Jeri Ryan's acting especially was amazing, they could have gave her a full uniform though. Fucking Rick Berman ruining everything he touches strikes again.
Yeah... That's fair. People gave DS9 shit for having a black guy as lead. Gave Voyager shit for having a woman as lead. Had a fucking meltdown over the black woman as lead. Then there's all the other insanely petty stuff like people giving Tilly crap over her weight. Can't look up Tilly GIFs on anything without seeing some insulting garbage. Think we'd be over this complete nonsense by now.
Anyone that has a problem with Beckett Mariner has a problem with me.
I was talking more about Burnham however I have actually seen people whine that she isn't white. "Why does she have to be black?" was the line I saw. Left that group pretty fucking fast.
Oh shit, I totally forgot about Michael. People are shit. How can you watch Star Trek and be a bigot? Makes zero sense.
Gotta love Chidi AnnaKendrick spouting truth. Maybe we can get him into a guest spot on SNW.
I don't know. I met someone somewhat recently on Elite Dangerous and he was a big Star Trek fan. Then he started talking about some political stuff that was highly suspect. As in like "What, you like Star Trek because you think the Romulans were the good guys?" Only doubled down further with some truly despicable shit said about trans folks. Love how he had to clarify that gays "like me" are perfectly fine but said basically anyone LGBTQ+ should drown in tar.
Blew my mind that you could like Star Trek and be that hateful.
Was his username "X" by any chance?
Replace enemies with haters:
Or, as the bad bitch says, rip out their tongue and use it to clean our boots.
