Oh dear every time a new Trek show comes out all the people who want to complain pop out the woodwork.

I'm sure he speaks for all fans. /s

I had no idea what this show was about till I poked around and I kind of like it from what I have discovered. I'll wait till its available on some streaming service locally.
 
I was almost tempted to comment on his video but realized that you would be attacked by the brigade of yes people and followers on that page.

Yes I was also commenting on The Critical Drinker he is a negative nellie on most of his stuff
 
Why even waste your time and give them money by watching?
I think especially now when everyone with a mic can make youtube videos, there is more noise than actual content.
I just ignore all that stuff :shrug:

I know but it's the videos like this and Midnight Turd that keep showing up in my recommendations.. I don't normally watch any of that.
 
We are in the age of narcissism where everyone believes that they are ultimately right and everyone should do/think/act as they say because they're the greatest. "Social" media will be the ultimate downfall of human civilisation, or at least civility.

It's alright not to like things and explain rational behind it, that doesn't mean you're right, likewise for someone who comes out in favour of the same thing. Taste and preference are highly subjective and individualistic, doesn't make it wrong until it strays into personal attacks and harassment.

I'm looking forward to it, it's a new take on looking at the action from the people we normally view as extras (TNG's "Lower Decks" was a great episode), and the style does remind me of Rick and Morty which does tell some batshit crazy sci-fi stories and doesn't treat its audience like idiots.
 
This guy is entitled to his opinions of course – and boy, does he come across as entitled! – and for all I care he can hate on the things he doesn't like all day long. But what I find telling is that all of his arguments basically boil down to either misogynistic and racist talking points or the trite “it's different/new and therefore it sucks”. He's one of those people who throw a tantrum because the status quo is upset and their privilege is being perceived as threatened. Even the very idea of a Trek show not being catered to his spoiled notion of what constitutes “True Trek” has him on the defensive.

Frankly, the realization that that's exactly how a portion of Trek fans feels is always kind of sobering. When I was younger and more naive I used to think of Trek fans as enlightened, progressive, welcoming, open and curious people. It's sad to realize a chunk of them are just plain old assholes.
 
Facebook shows me tons of stupid things for the election - from both sides! XD

Yeah and some of that filters out across the world. Trump "the law and order" President

But that's been true for many years, and not just Star Trek, a lot of scifi fandoms have these pockets of fans that are the exact opposite of the shows they love to watch. Yet they still watch the shows go figure.

Yeah, I know. I just view it through the Star Trek lens, because that's the thing I care about. Misogynistic assholes are neither new nor unique to Trek. Unfortunately.
 
He says "I guess the objective here is to target kids...", and then goes on to tell us why it's not appropriate for kids. However, there is no reason for him to think that its intended target is kids. There are plenty of younger adults who like this style of humor and enjoy this type of animated TV show.

His attitude of "I don't like this style of entertainment, so nobody should" is terribly conceited and egotistical. So it's not for him; that's fine. However, he shouldn't keep going on about how no self-respecting Star Trek fan should like it, because that is quite rude.

Whats wrong with targeting kids?? Even 7+? We need new fans to come in and take part as the old people pass the veil .. An entry level show where people can get in without knowing jack is a great thing!

As for this ButHat Tuber.. Gatekeep much you entitled jackhole? Seen this on my recommended slide.. didn't even click to give him/her/it a page view just to comment. Ignore them they'll go away. just like bullies.
As I've always said, If your interested watch it, if you don't, don't watch it!
