Addressing Dishonesty (Trek-related)

https://twitter.com/MichaelWilk74/status/1230952192816930817?s=19 This is an interesting thread. Those who Michael hasn’t blocked will see that his ‘go-to’ argument is to call the other person a liar, even in the face of consistent proof – indeed, many of his accusations of dishonesty (which he made without having the integrity to provide one scrap of proof) were levelled […]

Film Reviews – Sonic the Hedgehog

‘Slut Shaming and Star Trek’

As with this post (what I’m writing now follows on from it) there may be minor Star Trek: Picard spoilers. There will be some content that misogynsts will find offensive, but oddly enough, I can live with that. After my brief conversation with Wes, I discovered another Twitter user, Kodai, had been weighing in, but […]
