POST-Episode Discussion - Discovery Premiere - S1E01-02 "The Vulcan Hello" & "Battle at the Binary Stars"

Well, that's it. It's been 40+ years of loyalty to Star Trek and support of its fanbase...but I can't do it anymore. I can't support this fanbase another single moment. The franchise? Yes. Its fandom, however, can go straight to Hell. The worst thing about any media is its fanbase, and WOW. You guys have outdone yourselves in the most spectacularly disgusting way. Well-fucking-done. I have never, EVER encountered a fanbase so bitter, vicious, narrow-minded, and just plain bitchy. And being a fan of Star Wars, Doctor Who and Game of Thrones as well, I thought I'd seen it all. Well, kudos to you, Trekkies/Trekkers/whatever the hell you're calling yourselves. You set a new high in lows. The only thing I can hope for is that eventually, this "old guard" will die off and new fans will step in who will actually have enough intelligence and open-mindedness to allow for new ideas, but your kind spread like fungi, like putrid stinking bacteria, and the fandom is probably doomed. This goes WAY beyond differing opinions or constructive criticism. I've seen nothing on this thread and sub but nitpicking, petty bickering, relentless pissing and moaning about every little detail. God, even the Kelvin Timeline haters weren't THIS bad. Downvote me straight down to the core of the Earth. Hate me with all of your power. Give me all of the ignorant and dismissive "Bye Felicia" comments and "good riddance" bullshit you want. Call me overdramatic and roll your eyes till they fall out of your pissy skulls. All of it - and you - mean nothing to me now. I really couldn't give a drop of piss or a single fuck what any of you think about ANYTHING anymore. In fact, don't even reply to this post. I won't be back to read it. Mods - you can ban me if you'd like. I wouldn't come back here for all of the money on the fucking planet. I'll show my support for CBS/Paramount, Star Trek in all of its forms, and I'm in it for the long haul with Discovery...but to the fandom, you and I are 100 percent DONE. It breaks my heart and hurts my soul, but I can't spend what little I have left of my life being made to feel miserable and humiliated for loving something you're so viciously and vehemently determined to hate. Even though I know you never will be....you have absolutely every reason to be ashamed.

This has to be copypasta
