    Yeah, the Trans Agenda© is real and we're coming for all of you. Prepare to be assimilated.

    There's a ton I don't agree with @BillJ about and there's stuff I don't always agree with @TimeIsAPredator but we have some pretty good discussions.

    I submit that you're the one who's against anything new. Anything that goes against what you think it "should" be causes you to go into overload.

    Oh, did Disney invent that thousand+ year old trope? How did that work?

    Half thought about responding to these points, but with almost everything being wrong in your post, I yawned as it would be exhausting, and somebody else will probably take care of my light work.

    If I wanted to blame someone for the decline in stories I would blame the marginalized people who have nothing to do with that decline instead of the people in charge of the capitalistic corporations involved in making commercial media.

    Very smart am I.

    See, this is why every character ever should just be queer.

    They had a trans episode.

    Or they tried to have a trans episode.

    McKenzie Phillips.

    She's on the one Day at a Time remake as a recurring character.

    Ever noticed how all these guys claim they just want good stories over representation as if this is a huge problem. But I can’t think of a single example of how adding a LGBTQ character or plot ruined a show. Unless you just hate LGBTQ people and just seeing one on a show you watched ruined it for you because you can’t stand to even think about them existing. You want an escape to a fantasy world where everyone is straight and cis, no one who isn’t “normal”. But I’m sure they have countless examples of this happening or it isn’t a real problem.

    they can add trans, non binary, gay, straight, male , female, short, tall, fat skinny, cross dressers, transvestites, nudists, dwarves, giants, republicans, democrats, religious nuts, and atheists, but wont matter cos the writing sucks
    Burnham sucks and completely dominates the show....and until they fix that, no amount of pc flag waving will solve that.

    Cis (even those who are gay, pansexual or bisexual) people fear trans people because we 'break' the rules that they have spent generations trying to enforce upon society. It's really sad, because it just goes to show that cis and cishet people don't go to media to learn new things, they go to media to be told their worldviews matter. They need that echo chamber.

    Like, gosh, I just want to see a trans woman out wit fascists and then smash their teeth in like cis people get to do.

    Yeaaaaaaaaah, we don't use 'transvestites', that's a slur.

    Also, LOL at calling us politically correct while acting like your opinions on a stupid fucking commercial web series is somehow an objective fact.

    Pretty soon, it'll be a big deal when Star Trek has a new character that is just plain, vanilla, LOL!

    Cisgender and heterosexual people are neither plain nor vanilla, because gay, bisexual, pansexual, non-binary, transgender, aromantic and asexual people are not something to be othered.

    They wouldn't know a good story if it smacked them upside the head. Or they'll find a way to move goalposts. "Oh! It's a good story! So why do you need LGBTQ?"

    The Fandom Menace in general might as well have "Make Trek Great Again" as their mantra, but these people in particular should just say "Make Trek Straight Again" and get it over with. Goes nice with them complaining about "SJWs" and "virtue signalling".

    It was tongue in cheek comment, get a sense of humour. It was blatantly obvious my criticism were aimed at the writing and not people in general.
    At my age its a struggle to keep up with what every the correct terms are these days they change so often. I never knew that was a slur,
