FanFiction: I can't stand Kirk slash Spock
Monday, June 29, 2009

I used to wonder at the joke William Shatner did with SNL about Trekkies needing to get a life. I thought it was rather mean at the time. I couldn't understand as to what specifically he may have been talking about.

I was so out of the loop.

I was curious about the reaction to the reboot of Star Trek. I go hunting online for more information. This film is often referred to as Star Trek XI. I found a lovely assortment of stories about all of the characters, and then I noticed that some people were fixated on Kirk and Spock having sex.

I've watched everything from the original to the last horrid Star Trek (TNG) film where Data was blown up and replaced by a dumber version. That effectively killed off the TNG franchise and nearly everything else Star Trek. Plus, continuing the movie's story line was a waste with nowhere to go, not with the crew being chunky or overweight, getting old, and the TV show having already mined all of the best material.

I'm not a nut for canon, because everything gets bought by Hollywood, the studios own the rights, and they do whatever they want to make a profit. Right? The goal is a profit. If the fans are happy, I'm sure that is a plus. As shown with all the comic books made into movies, there's been a lot of hits and plenty of misses.

I have to say it's hard to watch a movie when there's some expectation that everyone knows the backstory. It never works. Either the film makers explain as much as possible, or the film will bomb. Balance between the purists and a new audience seems to be a difficult task. Any material I've read, I rarely would want to see the movie, unless it's exact and the book made everything clear, or it brings something new and fresh.

But I gotta say, what is up with the homosexual fixation on two men who simply cannot just work closely together and be good friends? And you wonder why the military doesn't want them? Sorry. I'm not interested in being politically correct here.

I think this theme grew based on the TOS. For some reason, even though Kirk is the most self-centered, narcissistic, gung-ho heterosexual, skirt chasing guy around, he's really a homosexual? And logical, emotionally controlled Spock is too?

Tsk. Dudes and dudettes. That same sexing thing is just not there. It is in your alternative reality warped minds. I feel sorry for hetersexual men today. They must feel like everyone believes they can't be close friends with other men, because it must be sexual. So, every moist hole needs to be plundered? How did 2% of the population end up occupying 95% of media content these days anyway?

Today, nearly every TV show or movies is homosexual-lesbian-positive. It is virtually inescapable. So I am not sure why people need to insert it (pun intended) where it doesn't exist.

So, I avoid reading these Kirk slash Spock fanfiction. However, I end up finding them based on dishonest subterfuge.

I don't appreciate the lunatics who write a false lead pretending that the story is about Uhura / Spock, when the story begins or ends with them breaking up.

Just write your homosexual fanfiction and leave Uhura out of it. Okay?

Nasty bunch of misogynists.

You've said so much that I have been wanting to say. Bravo.

I walked a fine line between irritated and writing out a coherent complaint.

Thanks for stopping by!
