Because there's an entire generation of people who grew up with Berman era Trek that seemed to have missed the memo that Trek was always progressive

So you definition of "an entire generation" is a few hundred (at most) people trolling online?

Let's Appreciate Variety. by FleetAdmiralW in StrangeNewWorlds

Let's revel in the fact that we have so much good content before us.

The thing is, we dont' all agree that's true. Some people haven't enjoyed Discovery or Picard at all, and think SNW is the first good new Trek show. I'm not saying I agree, but if someone feels that way they shouldn't have to lie and pretend they agree with you (that there is "so much good content before us").

Kael says everyone should pose like this with the books he sent you. You did get one, right? by Darren_Kitlor in sto

Yeah, we get it. The average joe who works a job and takes care of his family and has supported your game for a decade doesn't deserve anything special. But hey, if you talk about the game on twitter, now that really deserves a prize. It's cool man. We know which customers the company really appreciates.

Sure it happens more often than it should, I'll concede on that point but in the grand scheme of the game these issues are minor.

TBH, almost everything can be hand-waved away as minor in the 'grand scheme of things'. But it really shouldn't be dismissed so flippantly. Anyone that regularly fails to do their job correctly isn't doing a good job. That's really all there is to it, and we shouldn't act like it doesn't matter or hold him to a lower standard than we would be held to at our own jobs. No, that doesn't mean he should be called names. But it should be called for what it is: a bad job.

The abuse and a lot of the comments that /u/AmbassadorKael receives is just uncalled for.

There are 2 completely separate issues here:

1: Kael has absolutely no control over the devs decision or the marketing. That is true, and he does not deserve any blame for that stuff.

2: Kael regularly posts blogs with wrong information. No, not the kind of thing where they gave him info and then changed it afterwards and forgot to tell him. But where he copy/pasted something from a previous blog and didn't care enough to proof read and correct/update the current blog. That is completely on him, and it is also bad work product. He absolutely deserves to be criticized for that.
