not to get serious on main but dismissing the humanity of ordinary people living in a country because its government is terrible is fucking evil and i hate you so much. not joking. go to hell.
i will see some of you unironically saying shit like “all people from [x country] are bigots because the government is so if you acknowledge any of them as fellow human beings you’re spreading their evil propaganda” or whatever and it makes me absolutely rabid because believe it or not some of us are part of the groups those regimes and their supporters oppress and we fucking live there but i guess we don’t matter because we personally voted for the assholes hurting and killing us by being born in a location.
We need more Trek characters that aren’t just singular hybrids. Like by 2370, humans have been out and about warping through space for 300 years! Not to mention other people like Vulcans, Romulans, and Cardassians who’ve had warp for even longer.
Where’s the characters who can’t be pinned as obviously any one or two things?? Like a slightly cyanotic looking lady with a headcrest, pointy ears, and spots who’s 3/8 Vulcan, ¼ Risian, 1/8 Bolian, and ¼ Trill and ?maybe? slightly Bajoran from a few hundred years ago (She’s not sure).
If you like it, order your steak well done. Get your bagel toasted with jam and butter. Put ice in your scotch and ketchup on your hotdog. Get red wine with fish and white with steak. Who cares?
If you want to, listen to pop music. Watch blockbuster popcorn flicks. Read dime store novels. Enjoy them.
Dye your hair or cut it off. Paint your fingernails blue. Wear whatever the fuck you want on your own time (ie, when not at a job or school or whatever where you can get penalized for breaking rules) as long as you aren’t like welding or shoveling snow.
Anyone who tries to tell you you’re wrong? Say “okay” and go back to what you were doing. You’re not hurting them by enjoying yourself or having things the way you like them.
There are no caveats or addendums to this. No “but what about x?” Nah. You’re allowed the things you like. You don’t have to justify your taste or apologize for it if it’s not hurting anyone.
And likewise, let other people live their lives. We’re all dead in the long run, so tend your own garden before you become fertilizer in it.
