I may regret wading into this, but as Thy2K had previously described a type (Christians co-opting Judaism for political reasons even to the point of creating a fake cultural identity), then found an article describing that very thing, the modifying adjective was colloquially fitting. I parsed...

You've just described something like 20% of DDLC fanfics/view-only mods/cosplay skits. Which is a bit of a double subversion, considering how the game was perfectly wholesome with absolutely nothing going wrong at all, but that's the game's fandom for you.

Apparently, some people were using it to generate NFTs back when that was a thing. So you'd need some proof there, I guess....

Last page, I wrote: And now we have video of one man being multiply stepped upon at a convention. I'm not sure if this works in the bakery thread or here, but I had to share it nonetheless. Remember, no shaming! 🙃

DS9, like TNG, was in syndication, and therefore didn't have to worry about network ratings as TOS, Voyager and Enterprise did. But with Voyager serving as UPN's flagship show of sorts (at least at first -- UPN would be notorious for rebrands) and the Enterprise-D crew off to the movies every...

Some of these same people (whom I see a lot of on the Tube of You) also insist that There Can Be Only One Canonical ST Timeline, despite the fact that such hasn't been the case since "Mirror, Mirror" back in 1968. Speaking only for myself here.... I view Startrek.com as insisting that Discovery...

I had honestly thought, when that character was introduced, that he was a single-letter-named entity, like Q. Then, some months later, I saw the figure and how it was labeled, and thought, "oh, right, this is an American show...."

You and I both saw Game Theory's breakdown of just what's in the .chr files, so we know. And yet.... I mean, it might be amusing for someone to make a sequel where we have a slightly darker take on Supernatural Spouse sitcoms such as I Dream of Jeannie or Oh My Goddess!

Something something, recalibrate the primary sensor suite, something something tachyon pulse?

Didn't David Willis have a whole rant about Minerva and how her fans should go straight to jail? "Seen this? No, you haven't, because you were too busy watching Masturforce!", or something along those lines....

I miss Sixdegrees....

Yes, it was one thing to do "The aftermath of Yor stepping on a building brick", but that one....

Of course, if you're Rin Tezuka, most swimwear designs are wildly impractical....

I may have seen this phenomenon before... it certainly sounds familiar. ;) A fair number of demographically skewed fannish subcultures got infected with Incel Troll Logic circa 2015, but I've noticed that while anime fandom is not without its issues, one is more likely to see Women Who...

I knew this discussion would come -- I was sort of holding on to it in case we did in-depth looks at each club member, but no better time. But first, acknowledgement of the artist -- Khyle's done quite a few "blursed" (both blessed and cursed) artworks of anime and anime-adjacent topics. (He...

I'd be willing to give him Octane on the basis of his appearances in "Thief in the Night" and "Starscream's Ghost". You can't even tell that the character arc was originally meant for Blitzwing (picking up where FFOD left off).... Now if he'd said Sandstorm, we'd have had something on the...

Hey, the man was miscredited as having created the idea of "sparks" (I asked him about that at Botcon '04 in Pasadena), I'm sure that after hearing a bunch of fan opinions on that lore addition he can take some honest critiques of stuff he did in fact write. 😉

What was a little bit of a welcome surprise (as the Action Masters subline was frequently blamed for putting Transformers in a two-year coma in the North American market) was IDW-2005-G1 revisiting the idea in the form of the "Militant Monoform Movement" (Cybertronians rebelling against the...

Well, I'm just in the category of "aware that the characters exist", but it might be how she presents herself, if this is any indication:
