Re: Sometimes it makes critical conversation impossible

This is exactly my problem with it. Fandom doesn't seem to thrive without earnest discussion andsomething about Tumblr seems to deter that and instead encourages dogpiling.

Incidentally I agree about Uhura. She was badass in TOS and it felt like she'd become more 2D in the reboot.

That and Tumblr has a REALLY nasty habit of turning everything into a personal attack. Disagree with someone? Hit them with ad hominems. Instead of actually discussing someone's post, people's characters are attacked ALL THE TIME. And it's ridiculous for a site that preaches tolerance to use "white fangirl" as a way to shut conversation down.

If someone actually says something racist, then quote the part of the post that is racist and EXPLAIN WHY IT IS RACIST. Because that actually facilitates discussion and understanding. But making assumptions about a real person's race and motives is just utter bullshit.

Precisely. People just seem to loe their heads. All I can think is that it's the format - the posts and notes system.

I just think it's where all the trolls went. They are having a marvelous time.

Bad ass in TOS?

Absolutely badass in Mirror, Mirror for example. Not only confronting Sulu but disarming another member of the ISS Enterprise. Or in I, Mudd when her acting (pretending to have given in to the promise of immortality) is crucial to the success of the team's plan -- along with her contributing role with Chekov when they dance.

Yes, her part was disappointingly small. But she was, nevertheless, badass. A lot of the credit is due to Nichelle Nichols who was, for example, able to turn a line about being an "illogical woman" into a bit of teasing towards Spock rather than denigration of her character.
