Is it toxic to not like a poorly written character? I have absolutely nothing against the actress and wouldn't ever wish harm on an actor/actress just because of a character they portrayed. Are we not allowed to have differing opinions on art?

Well it's a different show with different writers and she isn't playing the timid and anxious character she was in early Discovery.

[–] FlexibleToast@lemmy.world 0 points 2 hours ago

Her being timid wasn't really the part of her character I didn't like. The fact that she was timid was her only character flaw was what made her a week character. Like she never struggled other than to accept that she was capable of doing things.

Wandering the internet to loudly declare your disinterest in things?

Besides time-consuming (it's a big Fediverse, so you must not get a lot of sleep)...yeah, kind of toxic.

It was in the hot feed... It's not like I did a ton of "wandering". One post is hardly "loudly" declaring anything. What's louder is all the people jumping to conclusions about who I am as a person and as a fan from the one comment.

Like jumping to conclusions about a show you haven't watched based on one headline?

Nope, I've seen others and have seen reviews. But, you just made another assumption about me.

[–] ValueSubtracted@startrek.website 3 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

True, I did forget the Must Reply To Everything in the Hot Feed rule.

No, I think you forgot about the people are allowed to have differing opinions about things rule. Generally I love Trek. I did not like Discovery or Picard (I did hear Picard got better in later episodes), but I like everything else. The character Tilly was one of the specific things I didn't like about Discovery. Life isn't a weird dichotomy where people love or hate everything. People aren't only super fans or toxic fans. There is a wide swatch of people in between. As a Trek fan I would think you would be especially aware of all the gray area in between. I don't know what drives you to attack me as a person for stating an opinion on a fictional character... I hope you get over that some day.
