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

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.

Hey look, it's the guy from the article!

[–] ValueSubtracted@startrek.website 6 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Understandably so.

Here's my question: is it better to boycott the company outright, or to show them that you are willing to pay for progressive content?

I don't have an answer. I think you can make a good argument for either.

If they downvote, it means you're an unappreciated genius.

A second watchthrough is on my to-do list this weekend, there's always something I missed the first go-around...

What you said doesn't make a whole lot of sense, so I'll grant you that.

Sam wasn't present for the theatre classes that are being criticized here, so I'm not sure what the relevance is.

It’s isn’t science-fiction at all, it’s drama set in a techno-fantasy world.

This, however, is hot nonsense.

[–] ValueSubtracted@startrek.website 5 points 1 day ago (4 children)

That’s the perfect scenario for science-fiction.

I don't agree at all - it sounds rather soulless to me, stripping the humanity from the story.

I would find some sort of magical "mental health technology" not only unrealistic, but rather insulting.

I didn't expect this one to be quite as divisive as it seems to be!

But yeah, I can see why it would clang if you're not feeling the characters involved. I'm sort of in the same space with Darem right now.

Tarima is messy, but it's a very familiar kind of messy to me. Zoe Steiner is definitely taking a unique approach to the character, but it's mostly working for me. I thought her scene with Caleb in the botanical lab was quite well done, and not an easy task.

Just…calm down and see a real mental health professional.

I think it's clear that, much like Nog in "It's Only A Paper Moon", the cadets (particularly Tarima) have not been receptive to conventional therapy, which is extremely predictive of whether said therapy will be effective.

 

A visiting instructor arrives at the Academy and uses an unorthodox method to help our cadets process the emotions of recent trauma. At the same time, a cadet faces an unexpected challenge that will alter the trajectory of her life forever.
