To be fair, it's probably hard for a black Vulcan to accept and forget the many blatantly racist things that the guy was known for saying about black people.

    Based Tim Russ.

    WTF is Shatner and Beltran even doing? Charlie Kirk and people like him call for the harm and death of people that Star Trek once stood to accept and validate. Fuck them both!

    Well Shatners is actually rather inline with federation ideals IMO, condemnation of assassination and political violence regardless of their views

    Now Beltrans otoh, dripping with right-wing adoration. But he never really liked his ST legacy or ST in general I don't think so doubly fuck him!

    condemning violence is fine, but you don’t have to simultaneously normalize deplorable views.

    Shatner has no problem saying we can’t discuss flat earth but for some reason draws the line at christian nationalism and white supremecism. there was a time that was a non starter as well, and the collective milquetoast center left is just enabling that overton window shift even more.

    we are literally living through the tolerance paradox and it’s enfuriating.

    Yeah, his comment is about not making people who disagree with you "targets." Sure, I largely agree with that. However, when their entire raison d'être was making other people targets then that's the line where you don't get to be the victim anymore.

    That's not mocking his death. It's just saying he doesn't matter. Which is true. He's a fucking podcaster. No one should care about him as much as these jerkoffs are regardless of his politics .

    Can't wait for Hassan to get shot and watch the democrats fly his casket on air force 2 with an honor guard OH WAIT BUT they wouldn't because that's fucking insane?? Obviously?!

    But now that this is the standard, I sure hope Boxxy gets a 21 gun salute and a month of federally mandated mourning when she goes

    The Robert Beltran comments would be hilarious if they weren't so, what's the word? Oh yeah. Whitewashing.

    It still blows my mind that the Native American consultant on Voyager was a fake. Beltran should have seen through the guy but didn't afaik. Fuck Beltran.

    He's Mexican, and the consultant was already known to be a fake at the time. So he probably didn't care at all.

    Blame Rick Berman. The man is a misogynistic power-thugging shitbag already.

    Honestly, how is this mocking? At absolutely worst its dismissive or disrespectful, but that is a bit much.

    Seems like he was combing the Republican moral desert for Charlie's empathy to use as a guide and at the end of the day, well unfortunately, he ain't found shit.

    I’d like to think Leonard Nimoy would be proud.

    I'm going to release a fan edit of Voyager that uses AI to replace Robert Beltran with Mel Brooks from Blazing Saddles. At least that way I'll know the terrible native pastiche is being played by someone who understands racism.

    I feel Tim Russ would appreciate that.

    Better cancel Voyager now, I guess. Can't have this kind of hate speech go unpunished. /s
