Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !askusa@discuss.online
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

I’m on the fence about your comment. I agree that many of the 50 page inspiring monologues were hers. But I’m failing to see what makes her a terrible person. Hotheaded, poor impulse control, not a team player (wait am I talking about myself?), sure. Implausibly permitted to lead time and again in a way that makes it difficult to suspend disbelief, absolutely. But terrible? She’s not space Karen.
The very first episode she attacks her commanding officer and ultimately gets her killed. Her direct involvement in starting the war that killed hundreds of millions is up for debate.
She continually puts her own opinions first and ignores or undermines direct orders, and those around her if they disagree.
There’s precedent in other Star Trek shows where the violate orders which are obviously wrong, but the ones she breaks aren’t.
And despite being raised by Vulcans, she has the emotional control of a 12 year old.
An awful character, and definitely the fault of the writers and not Sonequa Martin-Green.
