When there's shenanigans at Risa, it's the usual suspects.
And yes, I see the cruel irony of putting Stamets over Spacey.

For those unaware of the irony...
Kevin Spacey got accused of being a creepy/rapey sexual assaulter by someone who claimed Spacey pressured him for sex when he was 14 (to put it extremely simply and bluntly). When Kevin Spacey got accused of this he used the moment to announce that he was gay, successfully pissing off the entire gay community as it seemed to conflate being gay with a creep/pedophile.
I am gay. The character Stamets is also gay. Now that's where the irony would end, you'd think, except one thing. That guy who accused Kevin of that behavior? His name is Anthony Rapp. The actor who plays Lt Cmdr Stamets.
Bravo buddy. Bravo.
I TOTALLY missed the Anthony Rapp connection wow, this is some 3d chess level meming, and Spacey is a massive POS
Oh yeah. Umm is a fuckin meme genius. He's giving us props meanwhile i'm bowing to him.
I was aware of the story of Spacey ..... I didn't know the person he had assaulted was Anthony Rapp and I didn't know Rapp now plays a starring role in Star Trek: Discovery
Now I have to watch Star Trek: Discovery
I also have a new found appreciation for @Stamets@startrek.website ... thanks for sharing your story and who you are here ... in an age of anonymity, that is a big thing to do ... Personally I'm proud of you and everything you've done and continue to do for this community. I'm a big fan and I'm sure there are lots more here who would say the same.
Wow what a day to be on Risa .... I love all you guys on here ... keep doing what you're all doing ... It's a beautiful light in a darkening internet.
Serious time: this is one of the reasons I really enjoy this community. We shitpost, but we also give a shit. We try to be good to each other, and we try to be constructive.
Makes sense, I suppose; after all, the only really meaningful currencies in the UFoP are reputation and character.
You always had to watch Star Trek: Discovery! I'm in it!
Oh thanks <3 That being said I've been pretty open about being gay here before. I mean look at the constant amount of thirst I throw Captain Pikes way. Holy shit. Same with being Canadian and a few other tidbits like being stabbed lol
Love you too buddy <3
I believe the story came out just as Discovery was starting.
Holy shit.
Insane, right?
Holy shit! I didn't know this!
Yep. When I realized they were the same person my jaw dropped.
I am genuinely and deeply embarrassed that I had not even thought to connect that before. I saw the stories, and I’ve watched discovery and I know the actors, but I just never put two and two together, I guess.
Honestly it's not the first connection to make. I do not blame you.
And now Rapp plays a spacey character in space.
I apologize for nothing
I'm taking the bottom bunk.
AND I'M NEVER STOPPING YOU CAN'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO
I LOVE THE BRIG
Don't you give me that sarcastic Vulcan salute!!
Sorry but me, shenangians and /c/Risa?
🎶 Born to be kevs, they are the risans of the uuuniverse 🎶
Stamets? .... with the gimpy leg? .... Nah ... Definitely not him
You were smooching with my brother.
I am totally innocent™
Jesus .... I just reread the entire thread here and I can't believe what happened ... it's amazing, funny, revealing and unbelievable ... I half expect you to also announce that you are going to have @ummthatguy@lemmy.world 's baby
This feels like a Spanish soap opera and I feel like the housekeeper that just witnessed it all
I swear some days I see as many memes about the people posting memes as I see memes from those posters.
If my client supported DMs I’d be so up in Stamets’ business that he would know I was a fun guy.
I got 99 problems and a Frenchman ain't one
Get a shroom you two.
The irony is that I’m a biologist with mild but very real mycophobia. I want to watch that fungus documentary with Bjork.
I love this community
Oh I love this community too! This whole thread has made me feel warm and fuzzy and nice something that doesn't happen usually browsing the internet
Round up the usual suspects'
Pay no mind to the Bolian in the comments.
My apologies. Would have included yourself and others had I the room. You can be Kobayashi, though.
Considering Anthony Rapp literally began MeToo with Spacey, I'd say the only one this is cruel to is Spacey.

WTF .... unbelievable ... I'm amazed, shocked, surprised, confused, and flabbergasted.
