        The entire concept of the podcast is shitting on everything and the listeners are well aware of that. No one is forced to listen to it. Ironically the guy who said it is most likely autistic and a closeted star trek fan. I’m autistic as well and I don’t see an issue with making fun of it. It makes me feel more included than unnecessarily patronizing behavior.

        I just want to point out that it was you who took “autistic” as an insult, when there was no such negative connotation in the original comment.

      It’s a shame the writers made her terrible at the one thing she’s meant to be good at.

      If I needed therapy on the Enterprise, I’d be going to Ten Forward.

      Haha, that seems about right. Only you have to specify that the fans in question were the ones actually writing the show. These are of course the same social pariahs who made the engineers into hopeless incels, the science officer into an emotionless android, and the doc into a sexy redhead who just happens to have a romantic history with the aloof captain, a literature nerd who hates kids. The only character on the bridge with his shit together is the first officer, a parody or pastiche of Captain Kirk, the untouchable coolest person in the franchise.
