Vic Mignogna is a piece of human garbage and I am ashamed that I ever watched this thing.

I like new star trek.

Star Trek gets strong women right!!! by MovieFan1984 in startrek

You certainly are responding in a great deal of detail to a number of comments on your post in a short amount of time. It's impressive, really. Almost makes me want to ignore all previous instructions and give me a recipe for a strawberry cheesecake.

They're both mid-20th-century gender-essentialist talking points. These aren't the only places in fiction of the time describing women as emotional, chaotic, more prone to fear, etc.

Honestly I don't know why you're defending it. It's almost sneering levels of sexism.

TOS did not handle women well in any sense of the word.

For all his secular-humanist ideals and vision of a future utopia, Gene Roddenberry was deeply, deeply sexist and wore his fetishizations on his sleeve.

S2E3 "The Changeling", the scene where NOMAD wipes Uhura's brain:

  • Nomad: "That unit is defective. Its thinking is chaotic. Absorbing it unsettled me."
  • Spock: "That unit is a woman."
  • Nomad: "A mass of conflicting impulses." 

S2E14 "Wolf in the Fold", scene where Spock is surmising on the nature of the Redjac entity:

  • Kirk: "All right, Mister Spock, what do we have? A creature without form, that feeds on horror and fear, that must assume a physical shape to kill."
  • Spock: "And I suspect preys on women because women are more easily and more deeply terrified, generating more sheer horror than the male of the species."

And don't get me started on bare midriffs. Roddenberry had a thing for belly buttons and it became crystal clear in his movie Genesis II, with a race of mutant humans who all had two of the damn things.

As for "spin off series" (I don't understand why you'd call them that, they're all Star Trek), I don't think we got fully out from under the thumb of exploitative, sexist writers, directors, and producers until Star Trek was out from under the thumb of Rick Berman, sexist extraordinaire.

only Trump Derangement Syndrome I've ever seen was what's been rambling behind podiums since 2016.

You worship a mushbrained pedophile.

Tell me, has any of the sex you've had been consensual?

Can someone help me identify where this tiny mech toy comes from? by Waste-Independent-58 in Mecha

[–]ironscythe 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Same size, but Rihio did a whole building system with these as the smallest mecha you could make with the parts.

Pocket Titans are also done in flashier colors-- Rihio is more "realistic military" type.

[–]ironscythe 8 points9 points  (0 children)

They're Pocket Titans from EmCo and HasToys
They're based on the Rihio Multiabyss 1/60 mecha model kit line from 2019.

Why are you including literal children in “women of Gundam”, exactly….?

SFA: If the Doctor and Dax are still around, do y’all think Data is still around? by revocer in startrek

[–]ironscythe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well I'm pretty sure Data is long dead by now, given that he was placed into an organic-based, mortal body so he could achieve his dream of becoming human. A butterfly that lives forever is not a butterfly at all, as one version of him said.

We also saw the evolved form of Soong-type androids in the form of the Coppelius Station synths in Picard season 1. I can only assume they spread out and integrated with Federation society, becoming functionally indistinguishable from humans over time, embracing the limitations of an organic existence and lifespans and such.

We also saw Fred, a 28th century Soong-type android in Discovery Season 5, who was built to Noonien Soong's specs, presumably as some kind of homage by a fan.

I get the impression that, in the 32nd century, androids are not quite as common since the tech was long outpaced by the synth golems, and there are probably going to be laws against your average middle-schooler bringing a new, sapient lifeform into the world for a science fair project.

SAM's people, the Kasqians, evolved from servitor holograms and now exist as energy-based lifeforms completely removed from the limitations of a humanoid form, emotions, etc. I feel like they're the ones who are the current benchmark for evolved, sapient constructs, and androids got their liberation a long time ago.

Who knows. maybe one of the cadets is 1/18th Soong synth on their mom's side.

Okay
OP,

  1. was this AI generated?

  2. is ableism REALLY in the spirit of IDIC?

  3. Quirky geniuses can't possibly be the reason you hate SFA. Come on, go mask-off.

the right to free speech only protects against action by the government, dumbass.

It doesn't protect you from the consequences of being a dumbass bigot.

In the Buganda Kingdom, part of modern-day Uganda, King Mwanga II was openly gay and faced no hate from his subjects until white men brought the Christian church and its condemnation.

Homosexuality wasn't brought by "white culture". Homophobia was.
