The Orville

Yona, why are people who disagree with you trolls by default?

One of the hardest things to mod in this forum are accusations of trolling because only a small percentage of people who use the Internet know what trolling actually is.

  
I didn't call anyone a troll for disagreeing with me.  Were your posts about The Orville? Or did you and that other troll just direct ad homs at people? You're trolling us. You disrupted the discussion. That's what you wanted to do. You're a troll.

So, you're dumb. My posts were about The Orville. I was specifically talking about a mostly male race and my opinion of the show, just like anyone else.

Editz, you're a cunt, and you sound like a fucking incel.

There's also been a couple of incidental white male aliens being stupid/pathetic in later episodes...amusing that the ridiculed demographic transcends the species/solar system divide but not the gender/race divide.

I have read a story or two in which AIs were peripheral characters whose motivations were largely inscrutable to organic lifeforms.

A couple of not so great and yet thought provoking movies have been made in the past few years that feature AIs as the next step in the evolution of man. It is the extinction of humans as biological organisms, and the continuation of their legacy as machines. I can't remember the names of those movies, even though I saw them fairly recently. One scene sticks in my mind, in which an AI is asking a man why he is crying. The man has come to the realization that humans are on the verge of extinction, and that there won't be another generation of humans. But the AIs are far more adaptable and are going to thrive. It was a very memorable scene, even though the story itself was a blatant retelling of the exodus from Egypt with the AIs being the Israelites.

Sounds like the movie Automata starring Antonio Banderas.

That's the one! Thank you. Funny, I didn't remember that the actor was Antonio Bandaras at all.

At least I know I'm a cunt now, according to the office of...

I liked the latest episode.

BIG honking space battle!

Zzzap, zzzap! Boom, boom!

Plus... I actually care for a character that looks like a ball of snot.

Good writing there.

Er, I think you're addressing the wrong poster with that comment, I'm the one chuckling along in high spirits, she's the one flinging around aggressive disparaging insults. YMMV I guess, but I'll be damned if I can see how...

Yes, we were just clowning around about the Orville clubbing its viewers over the head with intersectionality because we thought it was funny. And then some PC clowns came in here and tried to make it personal.

I wonder if the belligerence has it's roots in my referring to "Jesus Christ" as miss slippy knickers...crime of the century perhaps: blasphemy and whatnot.
