When you just decide that Malcolm is gay everything he does makes so much more sense… pretending to share Trip’s enthusiasm for alien hookups on Risa, exactly mirroring everything he says but always looking to him to lead… panicking and listing every woman he can think of in Shuttlepod One… being weirdly cagey about his personal life and freaking out when he thinks Hoshi is flirting with him… s'gay fellas

I have literally so many feelings… like A) Does homophobia exist in the Utopian Federation Premise of Star Trek B) Do the rules of said UFP even apply to Enterprise C) I once read a fic that dug into the underlying premise of the Federation being built on the ashes of eugenicism and the implications of that for homosexuality as a biological and cultural phenomenon in the context of the at times relentless heterosexuality of canon and I’m randomly having flashbacks to that even though I read it in like 2007 D) Barring any broader cultural implications, Reed’s neurotic fear of the Mortifying Ordeal of Being Known is suuuuuuuuch a relatable gay mood tbh

fuck, I’d give my right arm to see a deaf main character in star trek. I mean clearly in this utopian future disabilities still exist. Accessibility aids still exist. As a deaf person who uses hearing accessible aids, I still need people to sign to me- a Cochlear implant or Auditory Brain stem Implant is NOT hearing, but they could get away with A LOT because it’s in the future, and still have them use sign language for a brief time. (like say it’s too noisy in a room, so they’re having trouble understanding) and not fall back on the “we communicate telepathically.” IDK I just want to see someone like me EXIST in the future.

I tried to be positive, I honestly tried to be fucking positive, but if that twat Tarantino is being dismissive of Simon Pegg, the man who not only directed the best reboot film so far, but is one of only 2 actors to have appeared in the ‘Sci-Fi Holy Trinity’ of Doctor Who, Star Trek, and Star Wars, then I can only assume he wants the franchise to fail.

Simon Pegg actually co-wrote Star Trek Beyond. He also co wrote Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz and the World’s End. Meaning this guy knows how to fucking write. For Tarantino to be this dismissive of him, especially considering that Simon has 3 films experience on Star Trek while Tarantino has never made a science fiction anything before means this movie is basically screwed.

Also pulp fiction wasn't even that great and is the movie of dudebros that jack off to excessive violence while trying to seem intelligent.

i once wrote an entire academic paper with the central thesis of ‘everyone is kind of a dick to Data and it honestly kinda reflect how people treat neurodiverse people, which is also why we neurodiverse people relate to him so hard’
