If you're a white guy you're unlikely to see or be on the recieving end of bigotry from these types of people.
The trek boards on reddit were vile when Discovery came out, if anyone remembers that? Hundreds of pissed off trek fans adamant that a black woman should not be the main character and hating that there were no men on the bridge. And even before then the asian wife jokes, misogyny and rape jokes about Keiko were a regular occurence.
The show writers making episodes like the Kira porn holonovel also didn't help, Quark should have been kicked off the station for that. It's not very star trek to let sexual harrassment happen so blatently, is it? Oh wait, yeah no it was fine. Slap on the wrists, no big deal. Is it surprising that some viewers of the show took that moral lesson to heart because 'trek is a bastion of good and can do no wrong'? Bashir skulking around begging Dax for a date and monologing about winning his prize, was creepy as fuck too.Trek is so pure though, men who behave like that must be ok because it was in trek! Amirite?
You guys need to keep in mind there's a huge cross over between nerds and incels, and between star trek fans and old white guys who like imagining white guys in charge of exploring space and getting to fuck all the alien women.
Trek nerds can be shit people too. You aren't immune just because the show you like has some morals.
Idk, this gets a pass from me. More so before all the new shows came out though, those are easy to love.
The old stuff is difficult to get into though, and there is usually a lot of bad writing, poor production values and terrible acting to get past before it starts getting good.
And sadly a lot of 60's and 90's Trek fans are bigoted old men, which is another mark against the show for anyone with a passing interest who's met a Trekkie of this caliber irl or looked into fan spaces online.
Yeah but just like lives, not all stories are good. When you can't change fundamental building blocks of your own story to create a pleasing narrative for yourself, all you can really do is exist in what there is. Most people exist like this.
Fighting your objective reality for an unobtainable greater meaning, will cause mental illness if you keep doing it. Come to terms with the real you as opposed to the ideal you, and make what you have for your life as nice for yourself as you can, while you can.
Save your desires for manifest destiny for your OC's and write some stories about them or illustrate them or something.
So if someone decided you were trans and started calling you by the wrong pronouns, you'd be ok with that?
Like if they personally just don't believe your presented gender and want to publically harrass you about it, are you allowed to put up a fuss in this scenario of yours? Or is that OK?
Not much short of magic is going to stop climate collapse at this point, so I think we're good on that front. Hopefully it gets us all, this whole mess will only start over if it doesn't.
Scopophobia (the fear of beeing watched/seen) which has basically induced agoraphobia (fear of outside).
I'm an autistic woman though, so people watching me and assuming shitty things, puts me in a very real danger as I can't information process in real time, or efficiently talk out loud.
These days the most expensive hobby of mine is just keeping the fucking lights on. Electricity prices are insane now.
Aside from that though, I really like cooking and experimenting with recipes and flavour profiles, and regularly buy ingredients and fresh vegetables to be able to indulge this.
I go in and out of being deeply obsessed with painting too, so art supplies are taking up the rest of my budget lately.
Gucci. It got bought out by PPR in the 90's, they replaced everything but the name pretty much. Tom Ford's work as the new head designer turned Gucci into the iconic modern luxury brand it is today.
(I only really know this as I was slightly obsessed with that House Of Gucci show with Lady Gaga in it. She's a fantastic actress.)
