What I mean is, people like me who don't like the show criticize the show, not its fans.

I talked to a friend the other day, asking him whether he's been watching Disco, knowing him to be a Trekkie. And he likes it. He wanted to know why I didn't, and I told him. And he said, "I can understand why you don't like it." and that was it. No argument, no insults, nothing of the sort. I guess he and I just have different things we look for in a Trek show, and obviously we perceive things differently. Another friend of mine really enjoys JJTrek, and he knows it is not my cup of tea. And we still get along and have the occasional Trek marathons.
But once you go online and have a different opinion, you're called close-minded, backwards thinking, not a true friend etc. I don't know if you get off on that or whatever, but I've had enough.

It's the same with the movies. I like 1-9, but I can't stand Nemesis and the JJTreks, and therefor I don't watch them any more. I gave Nemesis a second chance a few years after I had seen it on the big screen, and I found it just as bad as the first time.

Daysleeper, if your watching the show, I know I'd love to hear any critiques you have of the show... I and most others have issues with it.... I know I don't think it's perfect and I think if you look at the discussions of the actual show, people here have been pretty respectful to each other's opinions.
A certain member has decided to espouse phobias and succumb to their own hate and fear... So sad... So unecessary... Many of us have solved that problem by putting that individual on ignore so we only see their bigoted rhetoric when quoted.
But I do agree this isn't a place for political discussion... Which can be difficult since often such shows have a political undertone to them. I guess if people want to talk politics maybe start a politics topic in the everything else thread?
Gothneo, I've decided not to watch it any longer. I stopped after the time loop episode, which I could barely stand. I don't like the show for many many reasons, but at the moment I don't feel like discussing them. I tried, mostly in several facebook groups, and it became very ugly. As it - unfortunately - has here, too. Not against me, so far, mostly because I haven't been very vocal here, and I can fully understand why sexist and bigoted ideas have no place here (or anywhere else for that matter). But the tone here has become... rough, unnecessarily rough for a forum about a sci-fi-show that used to spawn the opposite. I haven't been as active here as I used to, but I always kept reading through some of the threads. At the moment, this forum frustrates me, as do those facebook groups. I'm thinking about taking a break from fandom and just enjoy the parts of the franchise I like for myself.
