As soon as I heard about this I knew 404 Media would be on top of it. Very happy with my subscription there.

Discovery probably “got it the worst” because it came out during peak gamergate-era politics. Online fandoms were weaponized and radicalized into right-wing culture warriors. Discovery is easily the least preachy of any Star Trek series but because it had a black woman in a leading role it became an obvious target for ragebaiters to make stuff up about.

I’m going to pretend this never happened.

In an alternate universe somewhere, they created a real comic we could all purchase immediately and this episode was the surprise reveal.

Though I wish we would have saw her, Discovery name drop!

Even if we don’t see any of the cast, it would be SO badass to see Disco pop in and save the day during a space battle for a moment then just pop back out.

Oh I see what you mean, yes absolutely with you. That said, if she truly has a “trauma causing thing she can’t control” …he’s going to need to establish some clear boundaries…

Me struggling how to link to the creator’s original source without exposing Lemmy users to Meta.
