    Cool cool, you’re just inserting irrelevant comments into a discussion I was having with someone else.

    Truly dazzling.

      Are you continuing to believe that your sidetrack fandom-driven defensiveness had much to do with what I was talking about to begin with, even after I answered your still-silly and increasingly-off topic claim that a character feeling bad and promising to do better somehow un-does the atrocities she did before?

      I’m not going to congratulate you for your favorite bad writing cliche.

      Truly dazzling.

            Do you have anything else to add but more seething rage?

            I really doubt they were taking their other conversation that seriously and I don’t think you need to either

              Scroll up.

              See how they reacted to my mirthful humor-intended comment, meme face and all, about the dubiousness of the writer-contrived “reformed” character mentioned.

                Space Hitler felt kind of bad about some things and made some space friends and promises to make the next Space Reich a little nicer. No need for Space Nuremburg, for real. [Memeface]

                This does not read as mirthful, it just seems like a mean-spirited, dismissive misrepresentation of their position . Sorry for bringing up what you said yesterday

                  To me, neither does this:

                  So what about any of that screams “the Terran Empire did nothing wrong” to you? Or would you rather keep deflecting?

                  Hypocrisy is super common among people that wave around pretenses of enlightened mediation, so I’m not surprised. Playing the “mean spirited” card while selectively ignoring the escalating petty hostility from the other poster isn’t surprising either.

                  I’d rather just move on. If some edgy fan wants to stan for edgy characters from what might be the worst of recent Trek shows, I can’t stop them. What I said about what I see as red flags is only highlighted by that exchange, and will further advise me any time I see another edgy fan stanning for the Terran Empire or the like.

                    Their reply was after your facetious comment with the meme face. Have you considered they were trying to meet your energy?
