Early Criticism: What’s Unfounded and What Isn’t

If your criticism is genuinely constructive, then it shouldn't be a problem to post it and discuss it. The fact that you won't speaks volumes. But by all means keep lolwutting or whatever.

RMB is terrified of a klingon in a skirt because he's insecure about his masculinity and it threatens him. And it's the same for all the doughy keyboard warriors who think like he does. If he was comfortable within himself he wouldn't give a shit about it. But he does. It's laughable that someone like RMB who claims to be an expert on all things trek would be bothered by such a trivial thing. IDIC and all that.
:guffaw:
 
They're a fictional Alien species.
"Its all fiction" is a weak argument. Every show or franchise has certain boundaries and rules to it. That would be like putting a skirt on James Bond and saying "Its just fiction. Who cares?? Everyone who read the novels and knows the character far better than the new writers who didn't do their homework. That's who.

Why can't they wear skirts and why would that be an issue in the 32nd century?
Because nothing from the past 60 years of Star Trek lore points to a male Klingon wearing a skirt and liking it. Watch any episode with Worf or other Klingons.



And spare me the pearl-clutching when it comes to swear words. You're an adult. Deal with it.
Of course you can swear all you want. But you're an utter hypocrite for saying someone else is mad when you're clearly the one all bent out of shape over this.
 
Where in those Sixty years has any Klingon mentioned an opinion on skirts?
Worf is the uptight straightlaced Klingon who other Klingons mock.
Exactly. This is forming an opinion on... *checks notes* no evidence. We see Klingons in Starfleet wearing uniforms, and we see Starfleet uniforms having Skants and skirts as uniform variants.

Everything else is personal bias showing.

"I haven''t seen a Klingon in a skirt. Therefore, this is a boundary and rule of the franchise" is neither an argument or criticism. It's just a silly thing to say.

Seriously, how can you post that?
 
:rolleyes:

The excuses just get more lame by the day. Watch any episode dealing with Klingons and you would see how stupid that idea is.
Again, where in those Sixty years have Klingons talked about skirts: pros and cons? I've been watching Star Trek for all of those Sixty years. Nothing in my recollection has them discussing what clothes are right or wrong for them. What in those Sixty years indicates that Klingons might object to skirts?
This is how Western media dies - with thunderous apathy.
I'm sure that sounded deep and profound in your head. Not so much on the screen.
Seriously pointing out the absurdity of objecting to skirts on a Klingon signals the death of Western media? :lol: Get over yourself.

I personally objected to a Klingon wearing a skirt? Where?

This might be one of the genuinely dumbest takes I've read in my 17 years of posting here. So because a Klingon has never been depicted in a skirt, they can never be depicted in one? They have to be a monoculture that never evolves, is that it?

Why are you even a fan of a show that has a core message of infinite diversity, in infinite combinations?
 
I 100% think that no one cares about review bombing and all the hate campaigns because there's no such thing as bad publicity.

Starfleet Academy getting all that attention is more likely to get people to watch then avoid it.

They are getting the bad publicity on their own, they don't need some made up hate campaign.

The metrics are showing nobody is watching it.
Edit: When I say 'nobody' I mean enough for it to move the needle above top ten.
 
I like George Lazenby as James Bond. I remember the days when his film was considered one of the weakest in the canon. I am thrilled that its standing has risen to become one of the best.
