Sure, I just don't find "everybody does it" to be a particularly compelling argument. Wrong is wrong.

That seems like a little much - there's plenty of foreign media that produces worthwhile content.

Blacklisting certain outlets, on the other hand...

Normally, this would be more of a c/quarks post, but fuck it, this is important.

It sucks.

All the major American media companies have done this, but that's not an excuse. It still sucks.

If there's any hope at all (and I'm not completely convinced that there is), it's in statements like this:

To be the best storytellers and to continue to drive success, we must have a highly talented, dedicated and creative workforce that reflects the perspectives and experiences of our many different audiences. Values like inclusivity and collaboration are a part of the Paramount culture and will continue to be.

That might be an indication that the policies themselves are sort of still in place, but under a different name. However, if they're discontinuing all metrics related to it, there will be no real way to know whether their "values" have a significant impact.

Go ahead and post some alternatives if you're so upset about it.

Beyond that, how about letting people share what they want to share?

Scott "Jonathan Archer" Bakula, Alex "Guy In Charge of the Franchise" Kurtzman, and Wilson "Hugh Culber" Cruz.

Okay.

Quitting a platform is always easier than you think it will be.

Pretty harsh to call Tuvok "chaff" - the man's chief of security!

Paramount+, the streamer, cancelled it.

CBS Studios, the producer, kept it going and found a new buyer.

Two separate entities, even though they're both subsidiaries of the same parent company.

Technically true up until about season five of VOY, at which point the only characters aboard the ship were Seven of Nine, the Doctor, and sometimes Captain Janeway.

This is Naomi Wildman erasure.

YES

Despite the short duration of Pike's previous visit to Rigel VII, I wonder if he and his away team were affected by the radiation to some extent.

It could certainly go a long way to explaining how they left such a large amount of dangerous equipment behind.
