Gonna drop a Seinfeld quote here. "And this offends you as a centrist liberal?" "No, this offends me as a fandom nerd!" Well I was more of a Friends person back in the day. But this thing you're doing of insisting equality be worked towards in a way that's satisfactory to you or not at all, while a...

He wants a black woman for a VP. Doesn't that just strike you as awful? No, I can't say the idea strikes any particular dread into me. Maybe - if he gets the nomination, and he does select a black woman VP candidate, and they win, and he croaks and she becomes Prez - that causes some hiccups in the...

Uh, yeah, diversity 'for its own sake' is a good thing. Progress has been and is being made but we're still in an era where the straight white cis male is treated as the default identity, and various degrees of barriers exist to other identities being portrayed.

Poor boys. Such tragic persecution. Is there a GoFundMe to help the victims?

Do you honestly think Trek is "more diverse than ever" just for including a gay couple? In terms of gay representation? Yeah. 'Rejoined' was a bold episode and deserves being noted for representation in Trek, but a gay couple is further progress than an alien-symbionts-who-happen-to-be-in-same-sex-...

We talking about the Kes age-vs-lifespan thing, or is there something about the dad from ALF I don't know?

So how's Neelix's singing voice? I kind of imagine him being one of those that you think 'Oh no, not this guy' then he does a heartfelt tearful performance that leaves everyone moved, like the dad from ALF at the end of Midsummer Night's Dream.
