Is it toxic to not like a poorly written character? I have absolutely nothing against the actress and wouldn’t ever wish harm on an actor/actress just because of a character they portrayed. Are we not allowed to have differing opinions on art?
Her being timid wasn’t really the part of her character I didn’t like. The fact that she was timid was her only character flaw was what made her a week character. Like she never struggled other than to accept that she was capable of doing things.
It was in the hot feed… It’s not like I did a ton of “wandering”. One post is hardly “loudly” declaring anything. What’s louder is all the people jumping to conclusions about who I am as a person and as a fan from the one comment.
No, I think you forgot about the people are allowed to have differing opinions about things rule. Generally I love Trek. I did not like Discovery or Picard (I did hear Picard got better in later episodes), but I like everything else. The character Tilly was one of the specific things I didn’t like about Discovery. Life isn’t a weird dichotomy where people love or hate everything. People aren’t only super fans or toxic fans. There is a wide swatch of people in between. As a Trek fan I would think you would be especially aware of all the gray area in between. I don’t know what drives you to attack me as a person for stating an opinion on a fictional character… I hope you get over that some day.
anonymous individuals who can work out some of whatever’s going on in their own lives, be it rage or, you know, self-loathing, and then put that onto you.
That quote is funny. I’m pretty sure she meant can’t not can. But yes, I can work those things out and don’t need to put them on others. I’m not sure why saying I don’t like a specific character would make you assume otherwise. That’s a massive jump to a conclusion.
Tilly is in this show? Well, I’m glad I never started watching it.
Hey look, it’s the guy from the article!

Well it’s a different show with different writers and she isn’t playing the timid and anxious character she was in early Discovery.

Wandering the internet to loudly declare your disinterest in things?
Besides time-consuming (it’s a big Fediverse, so you must not get a lot of sleep)…yeah, kind of toxic.

True, I did forget the Must Reply To Everything in the Hot Feed rule.

Like jumping to conclusions about a show you haven’t watched based on one headline?
Nope, I’ve seen others and have seen reviews. But, you just made another assumption about me.

Found one of the toxic fans.
Sure, if it makes you feel better to call me that. I just don’t care for the direction Trek went with Discovery. I do like SNW though.
She’s a guest star in a single episode.
From what I’ve seen this show seems more like Discovery than classic Trek. Having Tilly show up confirms that for me. That’s a no thanks from me.
I couldn’t stand Discovery but Academy very quickly won me over.
I mean, it’s Trek. I’ll probably eventually give it a shot. But the stench of Discovery is all over this one.
