I joined because I got banned from Reddit. Unjustly I claim.

Do you want them to be bigger dicks? With bigger egos?

Joe Biden deported 35% of detainees for no reason? What an absolute piece of garbage.

It just needs time to find its tone and audience.

I agree with what you said but I’m kind of confused about this… Like the audience is there, its been there for 30 years. Why would you want to find a new one.

But there aren’t any equal amount of overseas bots pushing the other direction?

Well I find it concerning because I really would love a new Star Trek that’s on the level of TNG, or Voyager, or DS9.

Ultimately does it effect me? Nope, but it’s disappointing when producers feel that such a departure is a good thing or even necessary to stay relevant with the times; when in reality those changes make the entire show irrelevant.

You’re saying that any rejoinder offered to any criticism that might have been levied to by a right winger is de facto an accusation of review bombing and an assertion of the show’s popularity in spite of such?

No. I’m not saying that.

The video OP posted was talking about specific nonsense positions put forward by specific nonsense people.

Which might not be stated but I feel is a defensive response to the negative reviews.

Is this video about MAGA response?

Are the negative reviews most likely from MAGA style viewers?

Yes? Then the two are absolutely connected.

You seem very concerned with how popular this show is.

I’ve answered this multiple times. Low viewship and high review bombs clearly indicate a disconnect between production and what’s expected by the audience. Sure they can produce whatever they want, but if Ford Motors starts producing coffee, then don’t be surprised when their customer base says “WTF, we don’t want this, we never asked for this”.

why hide behind numbers at all?

Oh, okay let’s keep spending millions per episode so a few thousand people can enjoy the show. That’s absolutely how show business works.

Numbers are critical and a key indicator of mainstream success.

As I’ve stated multiple times already low viewer count combined with high review bombs indicates a disconnect between what’s being produced and what the audience wants.

You seem to be arguing that the show is bad because it’s unpopular.

The premis of the thread seems to be that the show is getting review bombed because of MAGA. I pointed out that filtering out the United States still gives abysmally low scores.

If you look at viewer count (low) and review bombs (high), it seems to indicate that the producers are wildly out of touch with what the majority of the Star Trek audience is about.

watching the Enterprise D zooming past a few random planets

Oh, it showed the star, and the trek

metaphor of new growth to represent the reopening of the academy and the importance of building a new generation.

Oh so Star Trek, but without the star, or the trek.

Yeah and if it had absolutely nothing to do with the black lives matter sign, and the person inserted the black lives matter sign as a defense, then what is it?

But also an aggregated numeric value is not a criticism at all

How’s that? If 10 of your coworkers rated your job performance as 5/10; would you think that’s not a critical indicator of a failing performance?

How about viewer count, shall we go look that up?

You think MAGA is inteligent enough.to review bomb foreigner reviewers?

Even if we filter out the United States, Academy is sitting at a sub 5/10 rating world wide.

If you call the MAGA crtisicms what you want, but after the fact there are plenty of legit ones remaining.

Oh, you called me a name. Im so changing my mind now…

Don’t be a party pooper. Nazis are people who don’t respect pronouns and civil wars are when people yell really loud.

Idk if there are newer laws, I think there is, but a 1998 law makes it illegal to break a digital lock, very broadly defined, to protect cd’s but applied to all electronics.

Sounds like one of those laws that’s never applied by itself, but instead is always sprinkled in on top of another more well defined and detectable crime. In the case or CDs it would have been against piracy groups who not only cracked CDs, but also distributed.

Without the distribution, that law would have never seen enforcement.

We could also argue that cracking software protections isn’t reprogramming, it’s a precursor to do so and isnt always necessary to reprogram a device. Someone could absolutely pop the computer out of a Samsung smart refrigerator and replace it with a Arduino and reprogram the device, which for personal use is legally bulletproof.

Tell that to every farmer in the US

Every farmer in the U.S. has the right to repair and reprogram their vehicles. They do not however have the right to force John Deer to provide access to their proprietary software.

Not being able to reprogram something, and it being a literal crime, are absolutely different things.
