Mornin' peeps.
Evening chums.
Matt Alt's enthusiasm in the beginning borders on unnerving.

But I think it was just because he was trying to act surprised that he was on camera...
LOL.

I've been a big fan of Matt for a few years. He seems like a cool guy.

It's amazing how making a MOBA a slide scroller can effect approachability. I can see myself playing a lot of Hyper Universe.
 
What’s the story behind this, anyway? Been seeing some stray articles about what this one girl is doing since being dropped from the show - I assume the two are related.



Yo, boss. Hope things are going well for you.

One of the contestants, this White boy named Lee has been antagonizing the black contestants. Basically saying shit out of the side of his mouth along with Microaggressions. Saying to the bachelorette that the black men (and he only makes the comments toward and about black men) are being aggressive and loud towards him when they're not. And how he doesnt feel safe.

And ABC are profiting off of this for their white viewers by using blatant racism as a storyline instead of cutting it short from the jump.

This is the other spark of racism with the white woman Leah Block which was a former contestant of the Bachelor.

lol Georgie LaForge is a MRA?

I could see calling him member of the Simps of the Cosmos League, but outright alt-right?
LaForge seems like the type of dude who thinks you gave a woman a compliment only to get sex.
Scust.

Might as well not even make a damn star trek show.

They don't have to go full Dynasty

black woman in charge and suddenly it has to be Dirty Housewives of New York and the View in space?

She is second in command

Whoa, Shy you just blew my mind. Never thought about it that way

I could see him being a white knight way before I see him being a Pick up Artist type redpiller. He's the bad feminist ally.
Fuck yeah he is.

Him making a very docile and compliant holo-waifu version of Leah Brahms, Which is the antithesis to the real world person. Is a prime example.

You guys need to marathon the show again, but this time pay attention to how Gerodi behaves.
Scust.

Yep.

This show is going to be really bad.
Now I am imagining Laforge in a pussy hat.
He's really passionate about it. But honestly he's just there trying to kiss up to his co-worker Lt. Kami Hiroshi. She knitted him that hat, too.
Fucking lmao.
I know you were trying to be JohnDoe-y, but I actually thought Enterprise was good.
My man, it had a rough start, but it found it's footing during the Xindi shit and was about to get great when it got canceled
Nah. Enterprise was terrible.

And that Xindi 9/11 metaphor shit was handled in a ham fisted fashion and offensive.

Oh, okay. The last one is what I'd heard about. I don't keep up with those shows. I mean, I used to, if only to witness the mess it was with my mother. It was never good content, anyway.

Just another instance of people not caring of who they're hurting because the profit is more important.

LOL. Yeppers.

That's good to hear.

Hope you have a great weekend.

Now realising I left that thought half done, LOL. I got distracted. "I'm just chilling."

Got your SFV updated? We should throw some hands if you've got time tomorrow.

I thought he did that because he'd never met her so he just literally made a novel romance waifu to fawn over him. Yet...I get the impression he doesn't have sex with holo-Leah. It's all just literally his only outlet, since he..well you know. Has zero luck with women on the ship. So I can kind of not see that as being mra..but that's my young memory talking.

And he does straighten up when he finally meets her, he doesn't double down which is what a mra would do...

but it has been long years since I've seen it, seeing it again may show me something new.

poor Georgie LaForge, written to use his electrical and mechanical powers and not much else. And also part cyborg.

Well, he does at first. Mostly all of the time before the shit hits the fan. He does get right, but it takes a while and only because he gets to see a side of her that he likes.
His whole why doesn't she like me...why can't she respect what I'm doing bit was foul even back then.

He objectifies one of his idols because he's a lonely unstable man, then gets called on it and cuts the bullshit when she actually comes on board. It's creepy and uncomfortable, but it's not some malicious MRA type shit.
