And yes, I see the cruel irony of putting Stamets over Spacey.

I TOTALLY missed the Anthony Rapp connection wow, this is some 3d chess level meming, and Spacey is a massive POS

WTF … unbelievable … I’m amazed, shocked, surprised, confused, and flabbergasted.
I was aware of the story of Spacey … I didn’t know the person he had assaulted was Anthony Rapp and I didn’t know Rapp now plays a starring role in Star Trek: Discovery
Now I have to watch Star Trek: Discovery
I also have a new found appreciation for @[email protected] … thanks for sharing your story and who you are here … in an age of anonymity, that is a big thing to do … Personally I’m proud of you and everything you’ve done and continue to do for this community. I’m a big fan and I’m sure there are lots more here who would say the same.
Wow what a day to be on Risa … I love all you guys on here … keep doing what you’re all doing … It’s a beautiful light in a darkening internet.
Serious time: this is one of the reasons I really enjoy this community. We shitpost, but we also give a shit. We try to be good to each other, and we try to be constructive.
Makes sense, I suppose; after all, the only really meaningful currencies in the UFoP are reputation and character.
Just about sums it up.

I just watched my first episode last night and I feel like a teenager again when I first saw TNG … I was waiting to see it all later but after all this, and Risa and the memes and you and the memes … I feel excited again. Love you too!

The last 2 seasons is where it really got good for me. The complex stuff they had to do to interact with aliens so staggeringly different from humans… know discovery gets a lot of hate, but first time I watched it, it was what I always wished star trek would be. More believable, realistic, hazy grey areas, way better special effects, cinematography.
All star trek is good, tho.

I believe the story came out just as Discovery was starting.
Holy shit.

Holy shit! I didn’t know this!

Anthony Rapp is a goddamn hero. Even just coming forward, being visible, thriving, are all heroic acts in my opinion. Although, it’s not necessarily something you’d want to be known as a hero for.
Also, RE: Spacey’s coming out. I think it goes a few layers deeper. It felt like he was trying to garner the support of the LGBT community in a very “Look they’re accusing me of being a pedophile. But, I’m gay! And we all know that’s the reason they’re saying I did this, right friends?”. When that happened, I looked up his accuser and found Anthony Rapp, an openly gay man. I immediately wrote Spacey off then and there.
I love that he just is, without explanation or apology. That’s really what Start Trek is about

Trek being a window to humanity looking beyond it’s own bigotry and selfishness is it’s biggest appeal to me. The build up has been incremental and a reflection of our own progress over the decades. Quite a ways to go, of course, but at least for a while things have been looking up.
My jaw is collapsing into a neutron star
I am genuinely and deeply embarrassed that I had not even thought to connect that before. I saw the stories, and I’ve watched discovery and I know the actors, but I just never put two and two together, I guess.

And now Rapp plays a spacey character in space.
I apologize for nothing

Stamets? … with the gimpy leg? … Nah … Definitely not him
You were smooching with my brother.

Jesus … I just reread the entire thread here and I can’t believe what happened … it’s amazing, funny, revealing and unbelievable … I half expect you to also announce that you are going to have @[email protected] 's baby
This feels like a Spanish soap opera and I feel like the housekeeper that just witnessed it all
Who told you?!
Can I be the godfather?
Perhaps, but you would do well to get consent from Stamets.

I swear some days I see as many memes about the people posting memes as I see memes from those posters.
Round up the usual suspects’
If my client supported DMs I’d be so up in Stamets’ business that he would know I was a fun guy.

Get a shroom you two.
The irony is that I’m a biologist with mild but very real mycophobia. I want to watch that fungus documentary with Bjork.

Pay no mind to the Bolian in the comments.
My apologies. Would have included yourself and others had I the room. You can be Kobayashi, though.
Considering Anthony Rapp literally began MeToo with Spacey, I’d say the only one this is cruel to is Spacey.
I love this community
Oh I love this community too! This whole thread has made me feel warm and fuzzy and nice something that doesn’t happen usually browsing the internet
