It’s just weird to me that you and so many others frequently direct these same criticisms only at this one specific character? Discovery is bad because it has a main character? It’s bad because that character is “special?” Am I meant to understand that you don’t like any shows with a main character or “special” characters? If so I apologize for the interrogation, but again, it just seems odd that I have never in my life until this one specific show heard the existence of a “main character” described as a bad thing.

It is equally baffling to me that because you don’t understand why I have an opinion, it must be because I’m a racist.

I’m kinda done trying to explain to you why I have an opinion. It’s not that I haven’t explained it well enough. It’s that you refuse to believe me.

I have not accused you of being racist, just pointing out that you are repeating the exact same “concerns” that racists frequently do.

I don’t suppose you can elaborate on what makes a main character bad without using the word woke?

Your words. Maybe you didn’t explicitly accuse me of racism. But you did the Joe Rogan “just asking the question” thing of proposing a question and already implying the answer you presupposed.
