I already find this very exhausting, but in the interest of fairness, here we go.

I’d rather him apologize for turning up at that podcast at all
I am not in the know here. What is the deal with that podcast?
VitteliusThe Critical Drinker is a notorious right wing grift YouTuber and podcaster.
Here is a video about him that explains more: https://youtu.be/2lgmvraCq1g
Fair enough. Not that I was watching the guy or probably ever would have but I’ll definitely steer clear now.
Basically just one of the annoying anti woke crowd
James R KirkSeems he was exaggerating for a joke and basically saying that he was too dumb to grasp the political metaphors in Trek.
Crisis averted!

The way I see it, we have enough going on elsewhere in this timeline where I’m willing to settle on this compromise 😅
EDIT: Did not realize WHAT podcast he was on…
Is it an alt right podcast or something? I’ve never heard of it
Yep he’s one of those culture warrior types. Honestly surprised he got Andy Weir on as I was under the impression he was relatively small potatoes in that space.

As a Canadian, I’ not going to rate that highly as an apology.
It’s rather a sorry, not sorry, let’s be buds and talk some (unspecified) time
But it may play differently in a US cultural setting.
It’s interesting that he felt he needed to do that though.
It’s the mealy-mouthed half-apology of someone who was caught talking out of school. It’ll probably be enough for the whole thing to blow over.
One suspects that the communications pros at Amazon-MGM decided that they couldn’t let this story have legs, informed Weir’s agent that he had to make some immediate effort to quell the controversy.
Glad to see he’s not actually retracting his point, just apologising for the way he said it. Good for him!
Also nice to see the Critical Drinker getting some major media coverage!
