Notting Hill Nerd (love the username BTW) recently spoke of a phenomenon within the Star Wars fandom that parallels my experience of gatekeepers in the Star Trek fandom. In fact, I’ve noticed in a lot of cases the Star Trek gatekeepers are also Star Wars gatekeepers as well. Notting Hill Nerd’s article succinctly explains why […]
I’ve been very vocal, on here and on Twitter, about the phenomenon that is gatekeeping in the Star Trek fandom. I do not believe that fans of the franchise can or should dictate who gets to qualify as a fan, on the basis of whether or not they like a particular element of the franchise. […]
Today daddy meerkat, mummy meerkat and little meerkat went on an epic adventure! We enjoyed a visit to the British Museum, taking in various sights from various epochs of history. Daughter dearest wanted to see everything, which meant we were being dragged swiftly from one exhibit to another, however I was determined to take at […]
Following on from some recent posts (and a recent discussion of my own), this article provides an excellent message to the gatekeeping trolls. I urge them to heed it.
This is it. The grand finale to the sequel trilogy is almost upon us. In true geekdom fashion, my wife and I already have tickets booked and now all we can do is wait. The Rise of Skywalker… What can we expect? It goes without saying that there will possibly be spoilers (and those who […]

Liars like Doomcock, for example, who, among others, has pushed Abdins into a lawsuit that could ruin him financially, despite having already lost one such suit. There […]
I’ve put (wasted?) a fair bit of energy into challenging the angry, arrogant elements of the Star Trek fandom who are determined to create an ‘us versus them’ environment. The gatekeepers who insist they and they alone are true fans, because they somehow know better than anyone else what Star Trek is, are truly infuriating. […]

I’m quite happy to engage in robust conversation with various people across various fields. I’ve done so with MGTOWs and MRAs. I’ve done so with gatekeeping Star Trek fans. I’ve done so with people of various conservative religious beliefs. Gun control, sports, science, you name it, I’ve gotten stuck in. In the course of doing […]
Breached the 70K mark on my wip! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
This is just sheer absolute, exquisite beauty.
I have eaten too much pizza.
I don't think it's up to you to decide what's best for women, nor whether or not men can find them attractive...
Truth be told, I have zero thoughts on adult colouring books. If someone finds them to be therapeutic, or relaxing, then fair play to them. I am not going to judge one way or the other (least of all considering that I still like to play with my model space ships every now and then!).
