Calm

The actual scene

And I would just like to say: yes, if you are offended, your feelings are valid. Whether people respect them or not is a different story. You're not entitled to respect for your feelings, but on the other hand, you're also not entitled to be a dick about people's feelings and claim you're just being rational and logical.

When you mock people for being offended and emotional, you are also being emotional: you're feeling very, very smug.

I also find it rather... interesting... that this comic reframes Dr Pulaski as the offended party, rather than Data, as it was in the original. I do sure wonder if there's anything about Dr Pulaski that a certain segment of the population would identify as emotional and irrational.

well put on all points. Was trying to recall when Pulaski was anything but super-doc professional.

The other party in the discussion is a robot
- He is an android with a positronic network, that has displayed on numerous occasions the capacity to feel. The linked video is one example.

- staying calm and being rational doesn’t necessarily mean you’re being smug.
  I know.
  Flatly stating the facts is not smugness.
  I know! I specifically mentioned "mocking".
Tis but a meme.
- This changes nothing. I could write a post and say it's "but a post". Write a book and say it's "but a book". Make a film and say "tis but a film". In fact, a meme is the perfect hiding place for any ideology. It is the carrier pigeon of thought. That is, in short, the purpose of memes.
- tis a poorly crafted shite meme.

In the actual scene they're coming to an understanding about his name.

The great Daytah vs Daa-ta debate huh
- I just say it with the "data" pronunciation.

Hey I just got a 4 day ban from news at lemmyworld because I said the BT in LGBT meant Bluetooth. Did someone really get offended and think I thought that Bi Sexual and Trans people are actually computer hardware? It was such an obviously dumb joke that being so dumb was the joke.

That's... I'm at a loss for words
That's the sort of Reddit energy I've been missing
How dare you upset the established norm of any group with a joke that is even a tiny bit offensive.
Moderation on .world is really something else. Not even the most rabid subreddits were that bad.
