All credit goes to the amazing Luna over on Tenforward.social.

Seriously. A fucking awesome person with an even better taste in memes. Also great at giving hugs and a thousand times funnier than I am.

PNG template for the 'This Guy Sucks' part can be found here as provided by the equally epic and truly wonderful Maurice over on Tenforward.social, although originally created by 'ihaveaweirdidea' over on Tumblr.

So happy that I've been able to spend my time lately around two people who are so kind, generous, and incredible. You could do a lot worse than following them on Mastodon. Just saying.

Don’t forget the fact that he was aggressively homophobic and refused Gene’s wishes to depict the HIV/AIDS crisis in multiple episodes or even have a gay character on the show, including blacklisting a script about the crisis titled Blood and Fire. Not to mention shooting down the Garak/Bashir connection that both actors actively wanted and refusing to allow Malcom in Enterprise to be gay despite his actor also specifically playing him as gay.

There was also the push to have a male actor play the main androgynous alien in The Outcast that Riker falls for. Frakes was all for it. Berman nixed it.

I meant to add that and it just passed over my head in the fit of rage I was having while typing that.

I can't blame you for that. There's just so many things to say when it comes to what a horrible person Berman is.

I try not to hate people anymore. It's just too exhausting. I did before, a lot of people, and I'm just so tired.

But that man?

I could be on my deathbed and would still put on a Grandpa Joe type display if I found out that scum-covered amalgamation of used condoms had finally fucking died.
