@SwinnCity @loishh @Kickstarter The project was intended to enable production of AI porn, which often ends up being used to harass, demean and exploit women and other groups who are targeted. Beyond the obvious exploitation of artists.

@Pandapinecone @thomasthecat 6) I said destroying a Death Star might devastate a few planets. Because it’s moon sized. Resources again. Why build something big enough to destroy planets and kamikaze it when you can build one DS with a super laser?

[Lore and Legend: Tales From Our Mythic Past @ofloreandlegend]

@Pandapinecone @thomasthecat Oh, 5) New SW seems have abandoned the ‘hyperspace mass shadow idea’ in Awakens and TROS - not a fan of that. But if we decided that was some kind of super tech workaround, maybe usually you can’t hit a planet. Much bigger gravity shadow than a ship drags you out of hyper.

@photog_al @Jabz257 @ThegreensGreen @NoContextBrits Same energy as that story about the home office rejecting a lad’s bank documents because of spelling mistakes that they said made them doubt it’s authenticity: the home office’s own letter stating this contained multiple grammatical errors.

@Pandapinecone @plandefeld410 @thomasthecat Why don’t we see rebels use nukes or chemical warfare. It’s a war, right? Probably for the reasons we don’t, now that everyone has them. The Empire’s willingness to use indiscriminate weapons is what makes them evil.

[Lore and Legend: Tales From Our Mythic Past @ofloreandlegend]

@Pandapinecone @plandefeld410 @thomasthecat He just wrote a whole thread about this. And you don’t know that no-one ever has used it. Very easy to write a story about a rebel ship taking out a Star Destroyer, but the next day a piece of hyper-shrapnel hits an innocent ship/city/planet and support for the rebels tanks.

@thomasthecat So ramming the Death Star might have torn up a few planets in itself.

[Lore and Legend: Tales From Our Mythic Past @ofloreandlegend]

@thomasthecat I think The High Republic came up with a very good justification that hyperspace ramming was also extremely unethical because it sent debris spinning through hyperspace that could hit non-combatants, planets, space stations.

@DebiCady Thank you Debi. This seems to be case for most of the people we have contacted. Thank you for confirming!

[Lore and Legend: Tales From Our Mythic Past @ofloreandlegend]

@DebiCady Hello! We’re interested in talking to you about Cat Bayun stories for a podcast we are working on. Would you be happy to talk to us?

[Lore and Legend: Tales From Our Mythic Past @ofloreandlegend]

@Concandycorn @Titus_Esq Right? Peak Performance, Picard is opposed to war games on principal. ‘Conundrum’, they realise they’ve been taken over because they realise Enterprise isn’t a warship. Deep Space Nine episodes explore the trauma of having to become soldiers *because they are not soldiers*.

[Lore and Legend: Tales From Our Mythic Past @ofloreandlegend]

@Titus_Esq @Concandycorn @ExplorerRowan It’s always funny when people spin their bad logic as ‘you don’t watch Star Trek’. You literally don’t get the point of Star Trek if you think Starfleet is a war machine.

[Lore and Legend: Tales From Our Mythic Past @ofloreandlegend]

@Titus_Esq @Concandycorn @ExplorerRowan But you are defining Starfleet by a fraction of what its ships were purposed for, within a narrow band of its history, and against the specific content of its charter.

[Lore and Legend: Tales From Our Mythic Past @ofloreandlegend]

@Titus_Esq @Concandycorn @ExplorerRowan I was arguing at the point of the creation of the Defiant, which you were quoting, and ‘one ship’ = 1 class. Prometheus might count - I don’t know if it ever had a profile beyond fighting the Borg.
