And then there are those who intentionally seek out for things they perceive as problems and blow it out of proportion because that's how much they dislike the show. Yukaphile already posted awhile back that he doesn't want DISCO to improve in quality because that's how badly he wants it to fail.MixedDrops wrote: ↑Thu Mar 21, 2019 7:31 pm The only difference is nowadays people will find reasons to get angry about these things (more often anyway), and when they can't find quotes they can mine, they'll make them up, and people like you will take their complaints at face value rather than dismissing them as being jackasses like they deserve.
On another forum there was a user who blasted DIS for featuring a holographic simulator, claiming it was going against canon because such simulators didn't exist until the 24th century. But then that was countered by someone else bringing up the Rec Room featured in TAS where Bones, Sulu, and Uhura program simulations of multiple environments, showing that holographic simulators did exist (and in fact was a concept that Gene wanted to introduce on the Enterprise in Season 3 of TOS, but budget restrictions prevented that). The user then tried countering that with the possibility that it wasn't a holographic simulation but that the three characters may have been hallucinating because of laughing gas. He even went as far as to edit a Memory Alpha page and use that to prove his point. Of course, everyone pointed out what he did and he tried denying it by saying "oh, I was just making a statement of how MA can be unreliable by editing it myself and seeing how you would all fall for it" which nobody did anyway.
Some fans can be bizarre.
