Do you have anything else to add but more seething rage? You brought up Godwin’s law first there. Was that because of some guilty conscience about the edgy contrarian character cliches you stan for that needs to be buried under more smug Reddity zingers?
I really doubt they were taking their other conversation that seriously
Scroll up.
See how they reacted to my mirthful humor-intended comment, meme face and all, about the dubiousness of the writer-contrived “reformed” character mentioned.
Play enlightened mediator all you want but you responded to my post in particular, 16 hours later.
Space Hitler felt kind of bad about some things and made some space friends and promises to make the next Space Reich a little nicer. No need for Space Nuremburg, for real. [Memeface]

This does not read as mirthful, it just seems like a mean-spirited, dismissive misrepresentation of their position . Sorry for bringing up what you said yesterday
So what about any of that screams “the Terran Empire did nothing wrong” to you? Or would you rather keep deflecting?
Hypocrisy is super common among people that wave around pretenses of enlightened mediation, so I’m not surprised. Playing the “mean spirited” card while selectively ignoring the escalating petty hostility from the other poster isn’t surprising either.
I’d rather just move on. If some edgy fan wants to stan for edgy characters from what might be the worst of recent Trek shows, I can’t stop them. What I said about what I see as red flags is only highlighted by that exchange, and will further advise me any time I see another edgy fan stanning for the Terran Empire or the like.
That’s OK. You should really consider if your comments are being misunderstood as dismissive instead of “mirthful” and how you can clarify that. Can always be better at communicating
Hey look, the guy who broke the land speed record on the way to Godwin has thoughts on cliches!

To me, neither does this:

Their reply was after your facetious comment with the meme face. Have you considered they were trying to meet your energy?
All of this hinges on your belief that my meme-faced comment, loaded with space-this and space-that word choices, was insufficiently mirthful.
You’re taking this exchange way too seriously.
