Sorry dude, but conservative scum thrive in privacy. Calling them out on their backwards opinions in public loudly is the best way to fight them.

And it has to be a fight. For a society like that depicted in The Orville or Star Trek, I'd gladly fight for that.

See, now we're back on topic.

you're never going to get a response dude, because he's just going to do the same thing every single person with these abhorrent opinions does when confronted with them, which is slink away and toss out a copy of the line from that hitler cartoon that was posted a page back about "JUST OPINIONS WHY CAN'T WE BE CIVIL :decorum: "

Halston Sage is also rumored to be dating Seth MacFarlane, so basically who knows what's up at this point.

This is clearly a conversation that you guys need to have in every single avenue of discussion that there is, including and especially a thread about a science fiction series that imagines a better future, so be very, very weary of anyone that tries to shut that conversation down with a lofty indication by some phrase that the time for argument is past.

If she doesn't enjoy working on a TV show, you can't force her to be on it.

An actor who refuses to do television is going to have a pretty lousy career.

A dude posted:

It would depend on the exact nature of her disagreements. If every day's shooting started with everyone slapping her rear end for good luck I'd be out in a heartbeat, if they were all just assholes she didn't like hanging out with that's just par for the course

If someone was no-bullshit harassing her, I have no doubt that McFarlane would shove his boot six feet up that guy's rear end. His statements regarding Weinstein made his views on that matter crystal clear.

Nope, although he did date Eyebrows Clarke from GoT/Terminator Genisys/Solo: A Star Wars Flop for a while.

I don't know, until someone comes out and says she left the show, its just as easy to see some arc of another selaen (or however its spelled) coming around and Halston Sage gone for several episodes as part of some story, due to scheduling conflicts while shooting a movie (as was mentioned).

It would be the same thing they do all the time on shows where someone is off visiting their mother or something because the actress is off giving birth, and they've had her standing behind counters all season.

It seems like a step to jump to her being permanently replaced when no one has said anything, the official twitter is posting images of her, and shes listed still as a main cast member.

True story I always assumed turn left hillary!!! noo was a left leaning person cos I figured their name meant they wished Mrs. Clinton would become more of an actual Democrat/liberal-ish person instead of... whatever she is. Then they identified theirself as a conservative, specifically in the context of a conservative watching Trek (and such) and appreciating the "challenge," and I was like, "Oh." Then I noticed turn left hillary!!! noo's title text and I was like <Plinkett>Oh...</Plinkett>

SO anyway, to actually be at least somewhat topical, it hasn't been discussed for a while but this all reminds me that there were a lot of tea party/neocon/alt-right types (all of whom could fairly be considered to at least ostensibly be on the conservative side) who were like interpreting things on the show in ways totally opposite from... well most of us here anyway. A lot of them were Trek haters, and, I assume, a lot of them weren't. What do you suppose the ratio is? I'm thinking about 50/50, because these types don't tend to be consistent about anything other than interpreting things in a way that supports whatever their particular agenda and worldview happen to be.

It makes more sense when you consider that most people treat politics like a sport. As long as their team is winning their fine. It's a very strange thing, but it is how politics are done in America.

Actually, you can make a really good episode of the Orville about that. They treaded similar water with the episode about social media politics. They could do a great episode about a society where politics was literally a team sport and use it as a commentary on the United States politics system and two party system. That actually could be pretty loving good. I might actually write that because that can make a nice short story

That was literally how the Byzantines treated politics--the various factions were the fans of the different chariot teams. And it was deadly serious, with riots and gang warefare in the streets.

I think the Orville could do a killer episode on this; their biggest challenge would be making a commentary about our society in such a way that wasn't too similar to the social media episode.
