Save that pity bullshit for the dumb fucks who attack other fans and their legitimate arguments by calling them “haters” and gaslighting them.

I’m not a fan of that clique. So-called SJWs and anti-SJWs are two sides of the same toxic coin to me (though the latter are much worse, if only because they’re far more vocal).

What is your personal Star Trek canon?
Time
  • Spock was conceived through genetic engineering, not copulation.
  • Religion is alive and well in the 23rd & 24th centuries. In fact, it’s in better condition than ever before; divorced from the state, in open dialogue with science and philosophy, dogmatism and fundamentalism have died through attrition. Pluralism and syncretism are the rule, not the exception. Likewise, New Atheism is a rare animal; atheism still exists, but nontheists and theists are able to dialogue in good faith, without toxicity.
  • OG Borg were completely alien; there were no human-type Borg until El-Aurians, and later the Romulans, were assimilated into the Collective.
  • There was no Borg Queen (or Borg King, or Borg Sovereign of any kind) prior to the events of “I, Borg”. Picard & co’s attempt to introduce the concept of individuality to the Collective had an effect, but not the one they were hoping for.
