Michael Burnham is the Chosen One

[Lord Garth]

Goldilocks. The 22nd Century porridge is too cold. The 24th Century porridge is too hot. The 23rd Century porridge is just right. But that's just my take.

My biggest gripe is the platform itself. CBS All Access was an awful, awful streaming service for me last year. I was paying $7 a month to watch one show, and they couldn't even deliver it to me in high definition about 75% of the time.

I originally subscribed through its own app and had my own issues with it. When the second half of the season started streaming, I learned that Amazon had added CBSAA to their collection of channel subscriptions and from then on watched through that. Much more reliable with better picture quality and 5.1 surround sound. Even if the official CBSAA app has improved, I’m sticking to subscribing them through Amazon as that platform at least assures more availability on any device.

Again, you're the one desperately bringing up gender politics, for no good reason.

It's not relevant to the discussion.

She brings it up because everyone is well aware of your long and unpleasant track record on the issue and that this is a thinly (and poorly) veiled attempt at doing the same type of sexist "Mary Sue" thread as you've done many times before, just with nicer sounding language and someone else's video doing all the work for you so that it stays just inside the rules.

You are also well aware that Possum is a woman from previous arguments you've had with her, and yet you intentionally misgender her (in another post), which is something you've done before.

Amusingly, Burnham being Black is actually the one positive I like about the character.

Despite being a complete bore of a character, at least on a surface level she's doing good for African-American representation.

See, the problem here is that given the reputation you've established where representation is part of an "SJW agenda" and saying "African-American" is part of "PC culture", it just comes off as disingenuous concern trolling. You've played the role of being falsely egalitarian or progressive many times before.

Which is not to say that you do have a problem with Burnham being black (although I'm pretty sure you have indirectly criticized precisely that fact before in the guise of complaining about "PC casting") and you don't genuinely like the female characters in Black Panther, it's just that it's like the entertainment equivalent of saying you have a black friend as if that's a cover for saying a hundred other horrible bigoted and sexist things.

Anyway, this thread is closed since it's just a stealthy Mary Sue complaint for the umpteenth time, and is devolving into personal remarks and baseless accusations of "echo chambers", which is pretty amusing since if the people on both ends of the fandom spectrum who complain about echo chambers shouted at the other side they'd just cancel each other out.
