The Orville

[Yonadav]

Yeah, you're being a douche, so I douched you back. You'll live. I'm not trying to defend the show. I'm pointing out that you're posting inaccuracies to bolster your weird "OMG, they're attacking my white masculinity" take. You must be pretty insecure to take a show this personally.

I haven't posted an "inaccuracy" let alone the plural. The Moclus species makes zero sense. Egg laying males etc. YMMV on the precise interpretation of "Mary-esque miracle" in the context of the absurdity of the species, but that's really not my problem.

I'm not feeling attacked, I'm being amused - highly amused. If the situation were reversed and all black people and women were being portrayed as stupid/pathetic and all other males as awesome in a mainstream show like this would you be calling out any women or black people who thought that was hilarious, telling them they're insecure and are being douches - let alone if they were actually pissed off and said "this isn't on!" ? Basically mega double standards on your part Shell B and if you can't see that might I suggest a trip to the "opticians."

Oh goody we have "  poor white men are under attack " fanboy  and from what I can tell not a very bright one

Oh well, at least you changed your original comment, "pointing out" that the captain is a white male. And you call me "not very bright." And will you two stop putting words/feelings into my mouth/brain?! I'm not angry or upset, just amused - highly!

I'm a little surprised that it we laughed at the intersectionality of The  Orville  for as long as we did, before the trolls showed up.

The Orville clubs you over the head with its intersectional themes, and that's funny. The writers of the show seem to lack self awareness. They know that they are devotees of intersectionality. They know that they are working intersectional themes into the story. But they don't seem to be aware that they are clubbing people over the head with it, and they don't seem to be aware that they are probably doing more to ridicule intersectionality than to promote it.
