Which part of my explanation did you not understand or disagree with?

[–] Kirk@startrek.website 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Your explanation didn't explain what "forced inclusion" means and what makes it different from regular inclusion. Maybe you could give an example of each from Star Trek?

[–] JasSmith@sh.itjust.works 1 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

I think it did. If you disagree please tell me how. I provided two examples.

"Nuh uh" isn't an argument. If you won't read the comment then I won't be able to give you a meaningful reply.

Your examples provided made no mention of "forced inclusion" or what makes it different from regular inclusion.

[–] JasSmith@sh.itjust.works 0 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

I clearly explained the distinction despite not using the term "forced inclusion," which I didn't raise. You did. I can't reply qualitatively unless you explain which part confuses you.

...this you?

What does “forced inclusion” mean? What makes it different from regular inclusion?

[–] JasSmith@sh.itjust.works 1 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago)

Yes, in response to this comment.

Agreed. People should dislike modern Star Trek for it’s bad writing, not because it’s progressive.

I didn't raise the topic. I replied to it. I presume you can see that comment? Are you using an application which truncates the discussion? If you disagree with something, feel free to tell me what :)
