Hell yeah, it is.

Give me a bunch of “Jurassic Park” mascots or give me something else entirely!

Thanks. I’d probably still do them even if everyone hated it, but it is gratifying to know that others enjoy the posts as well.

Look at the Orville, THAT is TNG in a modern jacket, done by someone who knows and loves trek.

Yeah man, the show where they solved a galactic conflict by giving the leaders of both civilizations date rape pheromones so they'd fuck one another is definitely the torchbearer for TNG and DS9.

Hey man, if someone is making the choice to be the sort of pathetic loser obsessed with hating a television show, that's their choice. Just as it's my choice to be judgemental of them for the brief period of time they're in front of my eyeballs before I go do something fun and cool.

Besides, even if it was part of the OP’s thoughts, how is fandom love of a fictional television show different than fandom hate?

Love is worth time and effort. Hate is not.

Personally, I find as I get older my concerns aren’t quite so petty.

Anyone upset about a television show they didn’t like for four days should seriously assess what is actually going on in their lives.

it took me four years to recover enough

It took you, in your own words, four years to recover?

Well adjusted nerds when there's a tv show they don't like:

Personally I also really disliked PIC, but I simply choose to be normal and move on with my life.

I thought it was appropriate to the tag at the end of your little gatekeeping rant.

As someone who’s been watching Trek since before TNG, I’ve seen arguments like yours applied to nearly every new iteration of the franchise from TNG to the modern day.

I’m not on Reddit, I don’t know how the fandom is, but on Reddit I’d say “now queue the down votes and bans” because new trek fans there apparently don’t like people who remember what star trek was.

I'm not sure Soong-type android applies to Fred, and I'm certain it doesn't fit Dahj.

Unfortunately it's not clear just how indistinguishable from life Fred was. We know Dahj and the other Coppelius synths passed for human. Even Picard, though there was clearly some differences. With Fred, though, Culber pulled up the graphic of his internal works, and it didn't look like he's a meat robot. However, if he was closer to Data and Lore, I don't think getting shot in the chest would have been enough to kill him. Data's detached head was stuck in a mine on Earth for about 450 years and worked just fine after being reattached to his body, but I get the distinct impression that Fred wouldn't take decapitation so well.
