the disaster queers

Sounds like an excellent name for a Twisted Sister cover band.

Could only play in areas too hip for anyone to misinterpret the name as homophobic, though 🤔

I get a sudden urge to get out of a beach community and I’m not even IN one

Getting surgery

everyone knows Oklahoma Mississippi is the crappiest state

Fixed it for you

That’s why he started going by Timothy Olyphant in stead.

To be fair, I never even got INTO bronze in LOL 🤷

When all you know is a hammer…

…you can’t touch this

Aww! I immediately sent this to my partner 😁🥰

Stage 7 is memorizing the Macarena.

Stage 19 is affecting a québécois accent

Stage 42 is hitchhiking

It’s so great! The pc versions still hold up btw! As long as you pretend that 3 never happened, that is 😁

Fantasy football? You mean Blood Bowl? Or Blood Bowl 2?

Or this?

Doesn’t look like any door to me

Pansexual is usually shortened to pan, there’s a jungle cat commonly known as a panther, and nonbinary people tend to prefer they/them pronouns 🙂

Yeah I have, but I don’t remember any development with regards to her bigotry, her stubbornness, or both being portrayed as her being “the rational one”, which is what I hated about the character lol

True… Tbf though, most of the races seem to be more or less allegorical representatives of different aspects of human nature, so having too many pacifist Klingons or brave and selfless Ferengi or whatever would just muddle the narrative IMO…

Data was unique. There was no precedent there for how to relate to an android like Data. To the point that Starfleet literally had to have a legal case over whether or not he is sentient. She was a doctor. Her idea of sentience was biological. She did not have the framework to initially understand that an android can be sentient.

I see your point, but counterpoint: based on the fact that he was a Starfleet officer, which only people are allowed to be, and just interacting with him, it’s pretty clear on an instinctive level that he has personality quirks, preferences, self awareness etc.

What’s more, I could understand her initial doubts due to what you described, but even after getting to know him, she’d keep gainsaying his personhood for no apparent reason other than seemingly trying to convince HIM that he was nothing but a robot.

It’s that stubbornness and lack of rationale that makes it feel like bigotry rather than just confusion and inquisitiveness to me.

As for bigotry being rife in Star Trek, this sounds like a cop-out but it’s true: I haven’t seen much yet since I started with TNG and am only a few episodes into season 3 so far lol

Good point. Seeing her for the first time a few months ago did her no favors lol. Tbf though, she was casually yet stubbornly bigoted even by late 80s standards in a show that was inherently xenophilic if anything.

Also, might just be me, but it very much felt like the bigotry was supposed to be a POSITIVE trait to show of her scientific skepticism or whatever compared to all those Pollyannas just going around treating other people as equals by default 🤦

Am I the only one here who’s pretty much indifferent towards Crusher but couldn’t stand that bigot Pulaski?? 😬

PlayStation Portal(?)

PSP actually stands for PlayStation Portugal.
