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
Take your own advice there. You have failed to persuade me and have come across as condescending and sanctimonious while also obviously picking a side while pretending to be a neutral mediator.
You should really consider
No.
I originally wrote, as per the OP, about what I saw as red flags with Trek fans, and that exchange (and this one) have only reinforced how I feel about Terran Empire and Section 31 stans and apologists, no matter how an edgy character in Discovery might have felt bad after the fact after making some friends.

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.
