    Online attacks against an actor on a Star Trek show is not very Star Trek philosophy. World needs more Spock’s and less Kahn’s.

      I feel like calling Captain Ake “mumbles” is right up there with calling Picard “baldy”. I get the feeling we’re dealing with the kind of people who think one of those things is okay and the other isn’t.

      I don’t see where there’s an attack on the actor. This is an attack on the character.

          How she speaks in character. I have no idea who the actress is outside of the character that she plays and no idea how she speaks in her regular everyday life. It doesn’t matter.

              If the actress is unable to speak in any other way then the blame shifts to whoever did the casting.

                No, the blame is on shitlords who disqualify people like her from life because they sound or look different. The kind of ideology Star Trek has stood against since the beginning. There’s nothing wrong with her. There’s nothing wrong with her character sounding like that.

                  Wonderful. We’re still stuck in the “you don’t like the same show I like” => “you’re a shitlord ableist” mindset. Want to throw in misogynist while we’re at it?

                The blame? For what, triggering a bunch of self-righteous twats?

                Sounds like whoever did the casting should be congratulated on making a bunch of whiny losers suffer.
