I don't give Giant Freaking Robot the time of day.

Whoever wrote this ‘I don’t think it’s funny so it should get canceled’ whine apparently has not figured out how to Google ‘is there a fish that vomits glitter?’ And learn about the cardinal fish. A real thing that exists.

 

[tenmei]

Good job we don't have any fish vomitting glitter then.

 

[Turtletrekker]

Oh. The glitter thing.

Yeah, that's kind of silly. Leave it to GFR to turn it into rage bait for clicks.

Giant Freakin Robot is pretty useless for being an enormous artificial construct that, well, freaks.

Yikes, that's actually pretty scathing for Frakes.

Oh hey, they confirmed the black market was the Volume too.

Well, GFR is a clickbait site, and anything they say should be taken with a grain of salt.

All Frakes said was the glitter vomit "seems absurd." I didn't get the impression he meant that as a negative, just that it's unusual, which it kind of is, but so what?

Using GFR as your proof to complain about any aspect of the current Star Trek series is pretty bargain basement and only serves to undermine your argument.

I really appreciate this because even thinking about someone vomiting make me gag. I'm happy to head canon it as some type of silicate that the khionian digestive system produces.

Been a thing since TOS.
