Ahhh, time to go back to the internet battlefront...
fronzelneekburm: You're not in the position to mock anyone, Mr "Dr Who is ruined forever because they cast a chick in the title role".
Breja: Yes, I am, because as I explained at length my problem with that has nothing to do with "tokens", feminism, political correctness or any of that. It's analogous to, for example, the stupidly altered Klingons from Discovery, not to the gender or skin color of it's protagonist, who is a new character and can be any color, gender and sexual orientation. Not quite, since your mocking hinges solely on your claim that I was...
Which isn't really the case at all. Read my posts again. Yeah, I said I don't like tokenism, but that's mostly because it's a symptom of lazy writing. Granted, I have neither watched the show in question nor played the game in order to properly judge the writing of either, but if a character's one defining personality trait is the color of their skin or their sexual orientation, that doesn't bode well for the quality of writing at all, does it?
Clear enough for ya?
fronzelneekburm: And as for copying story ideas, lol, Deep Space Nine is literally a carbon copy of a Babylon 5 treatment J. Michael Straczynski sent to Paramount in the late 80s. It's not like Star Trek is a stranger to blatantly ripping off other people's ideas.
Stig79: So because other Star Trek writers have ripped off things in the past, it suddenly makes it ok for other writers to do the same? Ok..... Again, where did I say that? I never said it was ok. Hell, they can nail whoever is currently responsible for handling Star Trek's foul-smelling carcass to the wall if it was up to me. But this is Hollywood. Law of the jungle. Trek got away with worse things before, so it's going to be an uphill battle.

Goodness gracious.
So if I make a movie with flying castles (or spacefaring giant sized dogs) and homosexual black crew members, I'm probably ripping off some poor indie developer out somewhere. Thankfully ideas (stupid or not) aren't copyrightable. Sucks to be them eh?

I'm still amazed that some people actually see social justice as something bad. (or being against fascism. Or caring about nature...)
But on topic: Tardigrades now gets a lot of free publicity by talking about how they were ripped off by Hollywood. That is PR they could never buy with their budget.

And OT, I am confused by the Tardigrades thing too. It's an animal right? Do how do you copyright the term? And isn't that term something that was already used in Star Trek AND the name of the game? I am so lost here. :P

To bad for him. If he speaks up to loud CBS will squat him. If they have not already; have not heard anything anymore after it was brought up the first time.
