    He also played Kunta Kinte in Roots. LeVar Burton has a pretty cool acting career.

      He also directed the Star Trek DS9 episode “Bar Association”. That’s the episode where Rom embraces Marx, and O’Brien lets us know what sort of people are more than heroes.

        Oh shit I did not realize he directed that episode! By far one of my favorite star trek episodes, rommunism quoting Marx and quark recoiling like a vampire confronted with a cross was chefs-kiss

        Thanks for reminding me that I need to watch DS9 lol. Didn’t Burton also get into episode direction during TNG or was that just Frakes?

            Garret Wang directs an episode where Ensign Kim is finally promoted and then demoted the very next episode without explanation

              The irony is that he did ask to and Rick Berman shut him down despite no other cast member being turned down after Frakes broke the seal. Dude got fucked over so hard.

                The more I learn about behind-the-scenes stuff on various Star Trek productions, the more surprised I am that so much of it turned out well despite the abusive assholes who ended up in most of the producer and executive producer roles. Berman and Kurtzman are the real villains.

    Violence against fascists is always justified and based.

    cw: accidental transphobia/badly phrased. My thought process is explained below. I’m sorry, I didn’t mean it the way it sounds. Leaving for context.

    spoiler

    Hiding your fascism behind “think of the children” and the bits you were born with is cowardly, even for fascists.

      One of the things I love about the sci-fi TV show Babylon 5 is that this is it’s core message.

        Pretty sure they mean the bioessentialist rhetoric of gender comes from genitals at birth. It’s an absurd claim that transphobes hide behind.

          I absolutely agree with you. I phrased myself badly. Women solely being people with vaginas is her view, that’s why I said it that way. She boils being a woman down to what you were born with, so when she employs “women” that’s what she means. I was (still am) very tired. I’m sorry. Trans women are women, genitals do not determine what you are.

        I should have said it differently. I obviously understand that genitals do not equal gender. I’m rather tired today, and was thinking of it as like, she thinks women are people with vaginas, so when she says women(/in the case also mothers), she’s just hiding behind her genitals. I hope I explained that okay.

        I’m sorry if I upset or bothered you.

              Sorry to hear that, I didn’t want to discomfort you!
              It’s nice to have a space where transphobic comments have no place, and I didn’t want to assume bad intentions. Maybe I’m overly afraid of rhetoric like that sneaking in as jokes, as it happened often on the internet.

                It’s okay, your comment was fine. I just worry about things. I don’t think you are overly afraid of that at all, it’s scary out there for trans people and I wouldn’t want that coming here.

    If LeVar Burton thinks you’re trash then you should probably re-evaluate who you are. He’s cool as hell and I met him at my school once! He was handing out books to kids because he really does take child literacy seriously because he’s cool as hell

    Liberty? I don’t think that means whatever THEY think it means. It certainly does not mean or imply safety.
