Well, my startrek.website account made The List, but if the admin doesn't care to put a stop to it I guess imma delete that shit and start using the other ST communities.
i got banned from there for saying that discovery is not star trek. it is a clown show ran by a bunch of kids on a power trip and people should stop giving them power by using them.
this is how i see it. do you know how when the orville came out, everyone was "hey, new star trek!"?
now imagine discovery gets the same treatment as orville. you change the names, united federation of planets become interstellar union, warp drive becomes super-duper-engine, you change the shape of the ships little bit.
how many people would look at that and say "hey, new star trek!"? i think not that many. it would be c-grade show on netflix no one would give a fuck about and wouldn't be picked up for second season.
it is one thing if you do some minor stuff that may not be completely in line with the canon, and it is another if you are parasite who just hijacks the name of the franchise. and that's what discovery and abram's movies are.
While I may lament the fragmenting of the fandom, this is kind of the point of the fediverse. If some Adkins are shit, jump ship and join a less shit instance.
I've only been mildly paying attention to this whole ordeal, but I was dumbfounded to find out one of the architects behind this bullshit was one of our own.
Its an oddly apt nick use. Decides he knows better than everyone else, and when people don't do what he recommends, goes behind their back to try and enforce it anyway, gets caught, leaving a huge mess for functioning adults to clean up and doesnt display the ability to understand what he did was wrong. Sound familiar?
He even shows the same level of emotional development. How cute!
(Also the user who responded to his self justifying dribble with "that's a stupid statement" fucken sent me over the moon laughing)
I went to find it to link and it looks like they're just deleting posts on .world now. Complete fuckin tantrum. That's gonna play well with "the normies"

Hell yeah. I'll call out anti-trans anti-human rights tesseract devs all day.
They have no place in a star trek comunity.

And also Star Trek.
Whether or not you think it's GOOD Star Trek doesn't determine if it is or isn't part of the canon 🤷🏻

Ok, fair enough. That actually makes me inclined to agree.
SatyrSack@quokk.au · 0 pts · 11d
The fact that it breaks so much established canon determines if it is or isn't part of the canon.
Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 7 pts · 11d
Not necessarily, no.
You'd probably be hard pressed to find any iteration except TOS that DOESN'T do that one way or the other 🤷🏻
SatyrSack@quokk.au · 4 pts · 11d
May as well just consider each series to be its own universe

Por que no los dos?

Eh, you can find someone to say that about any trek iteration, lets go get you some fruit

I know I'm not missing much, I'll still see their reposts from here anyway.

I don't understand how anyone could ever be both a bigot and a Star Trek fan. Wouldn't you have to hate watch like every other episode?
Seleni@lemmy.world · 11 pts · 10d
It’s called Selective Listening and people with an entrenched worldview that defines their whole personality are sadly quite good at it.
