Probably because most people don’t go around saving copies of these examples. You notice it make a mental note and then forget until someone brings it up again.

I sure as hell don’t go around documenting everything that bothers me about a tv show. In fact I usually do the opposite and try to ignore them.

Probably because most people don’t go around saving copies of these examples.

I didn’t ask for copies. I asked for a single example. Not multiple, not a list, one. A single example to back up this complaint and there was nothing other than extremely vague hand waves saying “Oh I remember it happening in this super vague sphere of time. Don’t remember who said it or when it was said or what was said. But I know it happened.” It is not on me to decipher your nonsensical complaints. It is on you to provide evidence and examples of these complaints. Otherwise you’re just screaming about something you can’t prove or even point to.

So you can go around and forget all the examples but you don’t then get to complain about it being guilty of something when you cannot provide the evidence. If you want to complain about something breaking lore or canon then you must provide the example. It is not on us to prove a negative and prove something doesn’t exist. Moreover, what is your point here? If you openly forget stuff that bothers you then how can you be trusted at all when it comes to your complaints? It just backs up my point of needing an example even more.

Stop kicking the responsibility. Accept the fact that it is yours to back up your complaints. Not anyone elses. It is yours. So you either come with receipts or you don’t start anything. I’m really tired of hearing you all run rampant with your complaints and never being able to back it up. I’d be glad to have a discussion and even admit that I’m wrong. You refuse to provide that opportunity.

So either put up or shut up. I’m tired of the bullshit.

I’m on your side on this one for sure.

The Star Trek community is amazing at pointing out obscure references, and letting you know exactly who said it and what episode it was from, all the way back to the 60’s. It blows my mind pretty often lol

So unless someone can point out specific examples…

That said, I wouldn’t be surprised if there are some. Just need to see it. The burden of proof is on the people with these claims.

I agree! I have no problem being proven wrong but they won’t even try. And you’re right. Constant quotes of specific episodes and specific lines but the second someone doesn’t like something they can’t even picture where it might be?

It’s fucking exhausting. Especially when the vast majority of these conversations boiled down to them being homophobic or transphobic. I’d keep pressing for examples and they’d get more frustrated until they lash out about Stamets, Adira or Grey and it’s like “Ah okay, I know what your problem really is now at least.” Not saying all people who don’t like NuTrek are homophobic or transphobic, for the record. Just that it comes up a staggering amount.
