Gotta love Toxic Masculinity culture, where the only emotion a man can have is anger, the only hobbies he can have are gaming or something physical, like shooting or sports, and the only video games he can play are shoot-‘em-up ones, because all the others are ‘sissy’ or ‘not real games’.
And, of course, the only shows he can watch or like are shoot-‘em-up blow-em-ups. And he must take them super seriously and at face value. Starship Troopers is a straightforward action flick.
Whoops, misread their comment. I thought the first word was 'They.'
It’s funny when you have a perfect detailed rebuttal all ready to go for a future hypothetical conversation where someone says a particular thing and then it never happens.
When I rewatched TNG as an adult, they felt more like east Asian stereotypes at first.
They were asking about Jews, not the Ferengi. The comment they replied to was trying to draw parallels between the two (big noses, big ears, love of money) and added the naked women as if it was another well-known Jewish stereotype.
I know that the producer is Jewish, the writers are Jewish, I am Jewish, and most of the other (actors who played) Ferengi are Jewish, so keep that in mind,” Shimerman said. “When I traveled to Australia, they said to me, ‘C’mon the Ferengi are the Chinese, right?’ When I travel to England, ‘C’mon, the Ferengi are the Irish, right? When I travel to different parts of the world, it is the outsider in their community that is the Ferengi. It happens that here in America, perhaps we think it is the Jews. But in other parts of the world, they don’t think of that at all—they just think of another stereotype.
— Armin Shimerman
We don't really see it on-screen for obvious reasons, but the Ferengi do traditionally ban women from wearing clothes.
Edit: derp
No ambiguity:
Data has been fucked ⇒ Data refers to the Lieutenant Commander
Data have been fucked ⇒ data refers to numerical representation of information
The only thing I knew about startrek before I found lemmy was that in My Favorite Martian, somebody sees the zoot suit and says "I didn't know you were a trekkie."
Which is to say, not much.
Oh yeah and the Comic Book Guy from the Simpsons speaks Klingon. Other than that, nuthin
Just another bad day for O'Brian
Jews keep their females naked???
It's something of a mistake to think of the show as being about science and exploration. It features those things, yes, but ultimately it's a show about Morals and Ethics.
Yeah, Star Trek is more like “zap zap”
This is roughly the same logic behind my disappointment when Trek tries to be all dark and edgy.
"Pew pew pew" — er, that’s Star Wars…
They're not horrible caricatures though! Ignore the big ears, big noses and love of money! They keep their females naked, that's not Jewish at all!
Honestly, although I do love how the Ferengi are explored in DS9, whoever came up with the basic design needs therapy.
Straight to the buffer!
today is a good day to ding ding dong
Quark in there is my favorite
Yes, the one Data we have.
Also star trek: look at these aliens, they're all sexy. And those ones are super horny and misogynistic.
To be really technical, he's plural, otherwise his name would be Datum.
You touch my tralala with honor.
Now, this is a soap opers episode that writes itself.
(Which is, of course, redundant, yes.)
