Your explanation didn’t explain what “forced inclusion” means and what makes it different from regular inclusion. Maybe you could give an example of each from Star Trek?

For instance, the script may be as blunt as a character saying “Wow, I can’t believe you made it this far despite being a [marginalized out-group]

Ok makes sense but did SFA do that? If so, when?

This is cool, so I could theoretically just set up a Plex/Jellyfin library and not need a youtube account?

yeah sure so im curious to know what “forced inclusion” means and how we’re supposed to tell it apart from regular inclusion.

I saw that but I didn’t see anything about what makes inclusion “forced” in one series but not in another.

some people believe that star trek discovery had a story arc about a character coming out as non-binary.

Uhh Kirk and Uhura were most definitely not in a relationship, they were forced to kiss against their will.

Lol “muddy” about sums it up

That’s a lot of words to not provide a single example from a show of what makes “forced inclusion” different than “inclusion”

I like how in Discovery a character came out as non-binary and everyone is like “ok cool” and that was that and it was never brought up again (because why would it be)?

You can tell by the absolute meltdown conservative spaces had about that five second clip that it was absolutely the right thing to do.

Are you one of those people who believes Discovery had a coming out as nonbinary plot

Oh wow, I genuinely didn’t know this guy was for real. I’ve always assumed Nick Adams was a satire account. His whole schtick is that he says something ostensibly conservative, but presented in a way that makes him look like a complete weenie. Example:

That’s good point. I enjoyed the Discovery finale well enough but I also can’t deny it definitely felt rushed.

I can’t say for sure if I’d prefer a rushed conclusion over a well-considered writing that gets cut short!

IIRC this was an indirect response to the Unabomber’s manifesto, and the rise of the milita movement/neo luddites in the 90s.

I did both I’m also doing a hunger strike outside Paramount’s headquarters

I’d rather have a cliffhanger and a glimmer of hope it could be resolved in a future movie.

"no but like, where are you from"

it’s insanity

you can’t invest your precious time into a tv show but you can invest your time into whining about it.

please don’t give me any stock tips mr investor

Yeah this was my thought ever since I heard that they saw LLM “search” as the future. “Search” inasmuch as it still exists on Google is already pay-to-play, this is just changing who gets paid.
