  • “Disagreeing with their lifestyle” implies that you admit that queer people have a lifestyle that is not “normal”, for people to disagree with it. This is already a discriminating statement.

    You do not need to repeat the arguments of fascists to be able to counter them. “No discrimination” on its own is enough to ban any -phobic comment, you don’t need to preemptively do anything more.

    That’s the kind of stuff that makes it look like a clean “front” for a breeding grounds of fascism. Whether or not that’s the case, it immediately becomes an implicit attack on queer people and then you end up filtering everyone out except the ones that are fine with attacks on queer people. (Assuming that making a community about conservatism didn’t already do that)











  • There’s a lot of shit writing in all the star treks (less so in lower decks maybe) but discovery is consistently, deeply badly written, and in ways that often have a pretty bad underlying meaning.

    And also, people complain on Discovery for different reasons. Nazis find it too woke because they don’t pretend that lgbt people don’t exist, I find it fakely woke but actually discriminating against minorities while pretending to defend them.

    In a way, Discovery is a shittily written, enlightened-centrist version of star trek, so I think it’s good that people shit on it. Now people should obviously shit on a lot of other star treks like Enterprise and Picard, but I’m certainly not going to stop shitting on discovery in the meanwhile.
