Yeah, can’t say I’m a big fan of insulting an entire fan base to put a single dig towards a character. Don’t like Troi? Fine. But insulting all Trek fans and insulting autistic people just to indirectly insult her? That’s some really gross behavior.
The entire concept of the podcast is shitting on everything and the listeners are well aware of that. No one is forced to listen to it. Ironically the guy who said it is most likely autistic and a closeted star trek fan. I’m autistic as well and I don’t see an issue with making fun of it. It makes me feel more included than unnecessarily patronizing behavior.
Of which I am not one. Hopefully you can understand my concern there. If the dudes whole thing is shock comedy and insulting stuff, that’s fine. I have no issue with that. However I have literally never heard of the podcast so I just took it at face value. My apologies for the confusion there. Had I known (on me for not googling) I wouldn’t have responded that way. Again, my apologies.
I did not take “autistic” as an insult. I took “This entire group is so autistic they don’t understand emotions” as an insult. Probably has something due to the fact that people have used autistic as an insult quite a bit. That and I have literally never heard someone say "this entire group is so autistic they " and it be anything other than an insult.
Haha, that seems about right. Only you have to specify that the fans in question were the ones actually writing the show. These are of course the same social pariahs who made the engineers into hopeless incels, the science officer into an emotionless android, and the doc into a sexy redhead who just happens to have a romantic history with the aloof captain, a literature nerd who hates kids. The only character on the bridge with his shit together is the first officer, a parody or pastiche of Captain Kirk, the untouchable coolest person in the franchise.

Brothers in neurodivergence.
This also explains the “cum town” at the beginning :o
their Steven Segal takedown is legendary
I just want to point out that it was you who took “autistic” as an insult, when there was no such negative connotation in the original comment.

Yo mama so autistic her and her friends started a profitable IT consulting firm.
I guess you read the comment different than I did.
It’s a shame the writers made her terrible at the one thing she’s meant to be good at.
If I needed therapy on the Enterprise, I’d be going to Ten Forward.
