That I can understand definitely. What I can't get behind is what I felt the initial suggestion to be, "Ew, you want girls on our boys team ergo you suck because you never put boys on your girl team", but in a situation where it comes to providing positive depictions of male characters who actually have real feelings and aren't just engines of masculine self-loathing, yeah, I can definitely get behind that.

I always try to refrain from talking about this stuff because I feel that whenever I do, it's so easy to become characterised as a killjoy, so I'm also really glad that no one does really care about Sun Vulcan's line up, which is what I assumed, and what I thought was the joke... I just faltered when I got scared that people might have actually held this view, not Fish of course, but that a reference was being made to a group in fandom who did voice such views. I'm glad that we're not all crazy.
