Has-Been Former Child "Star" Who Hasn't Worked in Years Tries to Cancel Dave Chapelle

No one has ever liked Wil Wheaton, ever.

>>>47 Who the f*ck is Wil Wheaton? I know who he is? But who the f*ck is he?

He is a professional Nerd and leftwing scold who was a minor actor on the Star Trek sequel series ages and ages ago and now exists entirely as an internet-based pseudocelebrity. He and I are up for all the same roles in movies and TV, and we each have the exact same odds of landing them.

Netflix is defying the Trans Ban on Dave Chappelle, making him the host of a comedy special.

Wil Wheaton is not only demanding that Chappelle be fired, but that any comedian appearing on this special also be #Cancelled.

After condemning Dave Chappelle’s remarks about transgender people in his most recent Netflix special, actor Wil Wheaton has apologized for his own past homophobia.
“For much of my teen years, I was embarrassingly homophobic, and it all started with that comedy special,” the “Star Trek: The Next Generation” alum wrote in a Facebook post, a reference to Eddie Murphy’s 1983 standup show “Delirious.”
In the lengthy social media post, he detailed a moment when he was young and said a slur, referencing gay men in a locker room — a room full of gay men, no less. He said he was “embarrassed” and “horrified” and still “thinks about it all the time,” offering up an apology nearly 30 years after the incident.
Then he turned to Chappelle’s comments in his controversial Netflix special “The Closer.”
“For a transgender person, those ‘jokes’ normalize hateful, ignorant, bigoted behavior towards them,” he wrote, then turning to those who defended Chappelle seemingly because he is a person of color. “And it’s all okay, because they were dehumanized by a Black man. And the disingenuous argument that it’s actually racist to hold Chapelle accountable for this? Get the f–k out of here.”

I have an incomplete observation about Wil Wheaton and social media. This observation isn't "going anywhere." Just something that I'm noticing.

Certain celebrities -- or former celebrities, or " " " celebrities " " " in Wil Wheaton's case -- jumped on Twitter early. Really low-value people like Chrissie Tiegen.

And like Jake Tapper.

Other idiots whose identity was wrapped up in being Twidiots fell in Twitter Love with these people, because they felt that if " " " celebrities " " " were wasting time on Twitter, that somehow validated their own excessive, obsessive use of Twitter.

I mean -- Wil Wheaton's a Somebody. Chrissy Teagan's a Somebody. Jake Tapper's a Somebody.

Therefore, AllahPundit must be a Somebody too, right?

It stands to reason. If you are desperate to believe it.

This partly explain the "homoerotic" devotion that some Twitter-addicted "right-wing" pundits have for Jake Tapper -- he made them feel good about spending ten hours a day on Twitter.

None of these people are anything. They're not Somebodies. They're much closer to Nobodies. They're just more Somebodies than the actual Nobodies of Twitter.

So they became Twitter "Stars." Not people who were famous for being famous, but people who were famous for... having a lot of followers on twitter.

And they fed the idea that Twitter was somehow a "Star-Making Machine," where you could "get noticed."

I mean, one retweet from Chrissy Teagan could really put you on the map!

(Which map? The map of nobodies who are nowhere and mean nothing?)

No one believes that Twitter or social media are "democratizing celebrity" any longer. It was always a deeply stupid idea.

And barely any of this "Twitter fame" extended very far away from Twitter itself.

Wil Wheaton's career, such as it is, was artificially extended by ten or twelve years just due to his posting on Twitter. Without Twitter, and without the Nerd Cred that Twitter gave him, he wouldn't have gotten those guest appearances on Big Bang Theory, for example.

And that's about all Wil Wheaton got out of his "Twitter fame." That and some low-pay hosting duties for nerd shill shows.

One million twitter followers can buy you a cup of Starbucks coffee if you also have five dollars and thirty five cents.

Twitter is fading as a force now, thankfully, and Twitter no longer elevates zero-grade non-celebrities into Twitter "Stars."

There will be no more Jake Tappers for liberal Republicans to fall in love with, thinking "Oh my gosh, we're both on Twitter, maybe we can be best friends some day! (Or maybe we can be more than best friends!)"

I'm glad that time is over.

And I'm glad that this will probably the last time I have to write about this pudgy, stupid no-account no-talent non-entity loser.

This won't get you laid or get you work or position you for success in any dimension, Will.

So what is it? Are you an incompetent moron who thinks this will work to expand your career even though you're a niche player with no broad appeal, or are you a sissy who actually believes it and thus have no redeeming qualities whatsoever?

It was immediately a weird kind of pseudo-credibility. At the beginning, I remember Larry King and some other CNN person in a public competition to be the first to get a million followers. That number was the goal, and would determine which of them was better.

It doesn't matter. It never has mattered. But for some reason that follower count on Twitter (even more than the "friend" count on Facebook) was steeped with the false impression of value and worth.

35 I watched the Chappelle special in question. From what I understand he's been a lot harsher in the past, but it seems what really pissed off Woke Inc is the fact he basically laid the blame for a trans friend of his killing herself because Woke Inc tore into her for defending him at some point.

So it's nothing Chappelle said about them, OTHER than stating the fact that these people obviously don't care about actual trans folks, but only those who subscribe to the Woke Inc religion.

43 There is no such thing as "transgender". All humans are either inherently male or female. You can't change your chromosomes. It's a biological impossibility.

Anyone even using the term "transgender" is participating in a delusion. They have psychological issues which prevent them from intellectually, and factually litigating absolute, demonstrably provable truths. We call that a "psychosis".

Don't blame me. Blame the natural world and fundamental scientific truths. Ultimately, it's why you hate God. He doesn't participate in your unrealistic, fraudulent, evil delusions.

55 Wesley wasn't in, or featured in, that many episodes of ST:TNG. Yeah, okay, a lot in the first couple of years. After Wil, and his character, grew up some and he became part of the bridge team, he was a lot easier to take.

To a degree I was glad he was there. It usually meant scenes with his mother, Beverly (Gates McFadden), the hottest doctor in Star Fleet history. Once he left the ship and she stayed, I didn't miss him.

Would the character of Wesley have been easier to take if another actor had played him, and if he had been named something less wimpified?

This may be true, but it is because one of the odd attributes of social media at the beginning: openness. The platforms were open to all and a lot of stuff grew organically. The Twitter celebs exploited their networks to grow phenomenally and reenter people's minds. But way more than them, a lot of people got as big or bigger than these guys exclusively in those networks.

That openness, however, is now over. The platforms are fading to some degree, but they won't be replaced. The last decade has seen gigantic consolidation among infrastructure players. If someone wants to try to replace it or return to openness, they'll be stymied by the big players like Amazon and Microsoft and Google. We are in a way back to the 80s. Walled gardens and top-down control, just bigger.

"Transgender" people are only constantly at risk of violence on t.v. shows and movies and in stupid ads and even stupider twatter comments.

The "rampant violence against transgender people" doesn't exist, except in leftists' dreams.

104 >>>This may be true, but it is because one of the odd attributes of social media at the beginning: openness. The platforms were open to all and a lot of stuff grew organically. The Twitter celebs exploited their networks to grow phenomenally and reenter people's minds. But way more than them, a lot of people got as big or bigger than these guys exclusively in those networks.

That openness, however, is now over. The platforms are fading to some degree, but they won't be replaced. The last decade has seen gigantic consolidation among infrastructure players. If someone wants to try to replace it or return to openness, they'll be stymied by the big players like Amazon and Microsoft and Google. We are in a way back to the 80s. Walled gardens and top-down control, just bigger.

He was disliked because he was a Marty Stu. He was smarter and better than everyone, and always right, and had the answers, and was an annoying kid. Will Wheaton didn't exactly shine either, but that's the main problem.

I think it is very subtly different from that. It isn't to marginalize normal people so much as it is to normalize abnormal people. They built all these groups and mechanisms and invented this new ecclesiastical language to describe the deviants. This had the effect of layering precision into the description of deviance, but it had the effect of explosive growth in the number of ways one could be "other" but without reducing the "otherness" of all those narrowly-defined groups.

The application of the language of deviance to the conditions of normality is more of an effort, I think, to recast the deviant as normality rather than to recast normality as deviance.

So everyone wants to be one.

A girl my daughter knows has recently "proclaimed" that she is "a little bit trans." Tell me that's not 100% attention-seeking. "A little bit." Just enough to justify doing edgy things like coloring her hair tennis-ball green and sometimes venturing into the boys' bathroom.

Oh, yes. I didn't intend to imply otherwise. Normalizing the deviant has the net effect of degrading the normal. But the goal is to convince the deviants that they're normal, not to convince the normal that they're deviant. They seek to expand the definition of "normal" to include deviance. This, of course, degrades normality.

180 He was disliked because he was a Marty Stu. He was smarter and better than everyone, and always right, and had the answers, and was an annoying kid. Will Wheaton didn't exactly shine either, but that's the main problem.

Which was exacerbated by how the main characters of the show were... less than impressive themselves, like Dr Crusher who was baffled by the common cold.
Posted by: Christopher R Taylor at December 09, 2021 12:33 PM (KZzsI)

You're exactly right that he was a Marty Stu, and that's the prime reason the character was so constantly annoying. The reason for his name (seriously) was because the show creator's full name was Eugene Wesley Roddenberry. Apparently Gene had waited his entire life to stick his own avatar into one of his shows, and he went all the way with it.

It would have been logical to kill Wesley off when Gene died in '91 - but the writers who took over ST:TNG, like Brannon Braga, were themselves too pathetically bad to even think of that one.

Posted by: f'd at December 09, 2021 12:33 PM (07Ltt)

It was not great at the time, imo (a handful of episodes around the Borg beginning Locutus arc)- but they have not aged well. I can watch any TOS episode and be entertained, I have absolutely NO desire to see TNG. At all really.

I can only think of maybe four episodes I would rate as great:

Tapestry
That archeological one
That one where Picard lives his entire life on that planet

However, even the great ones are kind of boring. There are bits and bobs 'There are FOUR lights!' But for the most part, they never put together a great show, just a shit ton of filler.

It's almost entirely a fashion trend. People who actually have gender dysphoria try to blend in as much as possible and not make spectacles of themselves. The ones that adopt an androgynous style and call themselves "they/them" and talk about being trans are just doing it for attention and get "victim" cred.

191 I guess you could also argue that especially the first few seasons of TNG were Star Trek Fan-fic, written by Roddenberry.

Roddenberry's vision of the Star Trek universe was unusable as a television show, which contributed to how awful the first few seasons were. I meant he show sucked overall but those first couple seasons were so terrible its amazing it never got canceled.

He thought humanity would be sanctified by going to space, become better people (a theme heavily pushed in the film First Contact). He saw Star Trek as this utopian society with no want, conflict, or trouble. Which makes really dull writing -- no drama.

Because the incentives are in place to achieve that outcome. If you want to be accepted by your authority figures, fawned over by the most powerful people in the school, get into the "in group" on social media, have adulation and resources hurled at you, etc., then do what you're incentivized to do. And today, you're being incentivized to be "trans." So we're getting more "trans."

And that's *without* the incredibly dark forces of active sexual grooming going on by the schools, reinforced by the media and protected by policy.

Cis heterosexual is used like a veiled slur. But I think it means more like closer to the "norm". As if to say heterosexual orientation is sort of a thing closer to the present/now, current or closer to orthodox. ie closer to Rome. But that's tote's a judgment call on my part. Its a weird usage and probably not fully understood by almost all the people using it now.

That's why I prefer to think of ST post ST VI as a dystopia where the Federation, freed from the need to maintain a massive military, rapidly expanded in order to gobble up resources to feed the demand created by the development of replicators, and to provide an outlet for human populations who otherwise were bored and restless on core worlds. Starfleet was stretched thin trying to maintain tenuous links between Earth and the colonies, with captains spending years or decades in command, most of them far from home.

240 The grand thing about ST:TNG when it was new, was that you didn't always know how the story was going to play out. We were used to Kirk, the Alexander the Great of Star Fleet, the guy who would find a way to slash open the Gordian Knot. Picard was different. Look at "Darmok," the counterpart to ST:TOS's "Arena." We still quote from that episode.

Also: Not everything always got resolved in a happy ending in 50 minutes. Remember the story of the people who had deliberately removed gender from their society, but there were still those who had male/female feelings in secret; and one of the female people has an affair with Riker. At the end, he cannot save her from being brainwashed into being a "happy" no-gender drone, and returns to the ship, a sadder man.

It's an easy way to get noticed. It is nothing more than ego and narcissism fueled by a society that has lost its way and no longer teaches boys how to be men, and girls how to be women.

--

I'd like to add that it's also targeting young people, grade schoolers, high schoolers, and is creating a lot of mental issues for these impressionable kids who are being told they can select their gender, with the implication that they should. That it's brave to change your sex. This madness and those pushing it are creating a generation that will be overrun with mental illness.

251 I saw a tweet a couple of days back - some kid was doing an online college application.

There was a pulldown menu - for what would normally have been "male/female". There were easily a dozen choices if not more - and I had absolutely no fucking clue what I would have picked. I mean, I guess I narrowed it down knowing it wasn't pansexual or genderfluid of genderqueer... there were 2 or more "CIS" choices, none of which sounded remotely heterosexual. CISHet was *not* one of them.

Seriously, we need to cull the herd, it's sick.

259 That's why I prefer to think of ST post ST VI as a dystopia where the Federation, freed from the need to maintain a massive military, rapidly expanded in order to gobble up resources to feed the demand created by the development of replicators, and to provide an outlet for human populations who otherwise were bored and restless on core worlds.

DS9 explicitly showed it as a dystopia. One of the high points of that series.

Posted by: Ian S. at December 09, 2021 12:49 PM (ZGrMX)

260 I'd like to add that it's also targeting young people, grade schoolers, high schoolers, and is creating a lot of mental issues for these impressionable kids who are being told they can select their gender, with the implication that they should. That it's brave to change your sex. This madness and those pushing it are creating a generation that will be overrun with mental illness. It goes far beyond just mere narcissism for many of these mixed up kids.

That's the reason why DS9 is best Trek. The characters are allowed to have different motives and goals. Not everyone is on Team Federation (rah rah). It also exposed the Federation as not being the utopia that was promised. I'm not saying Grimdark Edgy is great either. I think DS9 put just the right amount of cynical edge needed for the too-perfect ST universe.

There was one later episode (Force of Nature) about warp drives destroying the actual fabric of space, putting planets in danger. Obviously this is an environmental-themed episode and thus by the end, the Federation dictates that their ships cannot go past warp 5 other than in an emergency.

Of course this screws everything in-universe up and thus this warp-limit decree is never mentioned again, at least to my knowledge.

309 TNG had some great ideas, some good episodes and moments, but was pretty terrible overall.

Q was fun. The Borg were a terrific enemy. Barclay or whoever it was using the holodeck to virtually bang all the chicks on the Enterprise was a hoot. Klingon politics with figures like Gowron were fun. The Darmok episode was dumb but still very entertaining.

But overall? Picard and Riker were wimpy metrosexuals. Data's quest to be human was dull. Troi's and Guinan were terrible characters even in concept, and would be utterly loathed but for Wesley's much higher loathsomeness quotient. La Forge, like most of the other men on the show, desperately needed to use the replicator to brew up some testosterone supplements. Worf might be the only exception in that regard, but he was like an adopted shelter dog who kept eating the furniture.

315 DS9 explicitly showed it as a dystopia. One of the high points of that series.
Posted by: Ian S. at December 09, 2021 12:49 PM (ZGrMX)
--

One of the reasons why DS9 was one of (if not the best) Star Trek outings. They allowed the characters to gamble at quarks, use currency, fight a war using morally questionable means and showed some of the dark side of the inner-core federation.

I think I remember reading that the writers (or producers) had a bust of Roddenberry in their office, and they would avert its eyes, or turn the bust around when they wrote things that they knew he would disapprove of.

But it made DS9 more gritty and real than the rest of the Star Trek utopian vision.

Again though, You have to name bad TOS episodes. You have to name good TNG.

Another point: how many times can you think of filler in TOS where you were like 'I can go grab a drink and not miss anything'. Not many. TNG was 95% filler. They even make fun of it themselves. Barclay or that late episode with the lower decks rejects.

322 The only big issue I had with DS9 was it seemed in nearly every episode the friggin replicators would break down. They ran that meme to death.

That meme was still less common than "let's torture O'Brien", which the writers later admitted was a thing.

331 Can you "normalize" what is considered *normal*?

"Society is homophobic" is what the intersectionality would say. Therefore, nothing is "normalizing" "homophobia" it simply is the norm, and expressions of "homophobia" are expressions of a social norm.

It's kind of like the way that "America IS racist" AND "White supremacists are the biggest threat to America that we face".

I mean, who would be so insightful as to determine the depths of offense that a gender-confused person would and order the cancellation of a whole swath of the public for holding an opinion based on observation -- unless they, themselves were similarly gender confused? Surely, it can't be that an actor whose last role was an annoying pubescent in an otherwise interesting show would dare to realign "normalcy" on behalf of a phenomenon that he has no personal stake in. That would just make an insufferable, arrogant ass, speaking against millennia of biological fact.

It was new a and different formulation of sitcom, with quirky characters that people in science and engineering could appreciate. And the jokes, if you got them, weren't the same, tired material, for the most part. And, at least initially, they steered pretty clear of politics and preaching. Then they started in with the relationship garbage to reach a broader audience and pretty much killed the shtick. It lazily became all about "ooh, who's going to get together this week?".

It suffered from what all sitcoms suffer from. After the first season the actors find the characters and are comfortable. And then in later seasons the writers get lazy and turn the characters into just caricatures.

I've long believed that Ferengi were created because the humans in the universe were so darn boring. It's why they used the Klingons so much too. Humans in the STNG universe had zero real motivations to do anything. It would have been a really boring universe without other races to add some human motivation.

The few examples I am aware of - Chic-fil-A and Hobby Lobby - were catastrophic failures for the geek cult lunatics, and if memory serves, their business increased when they told the Twitter mob to get bent.

I kinda disagree, what I've seen is the first season is usually trash bc they have "big ideas" that "aren't fleshed out" and then they hit their stride.

So...Parks and Rec Season 1 was supposed to be about Pohler but that sucked so they retooled.

Obv TNG season 1 was trash.

And the Office Season 1 was garbage lifted from the woefully awful british show (like episode 1 firing Pam for a joke).

and then again, I think Friends S1 was pretty good and gathered steam..Community was perfect from the beginning. and that's all the TV i've seen.

Posted by: Revenant at December 09, 2021 01:17 PM (C35Jn)

ST: Picard established that replicators use "omniprotein" and that different types have different effects on the quality of the food. Additionally, it was long established that replicators created approximations at best and had to be tweaked.

My theory is that for food, replicators work by basically "printing" out the item using a few basic templated patterns. For example, a chicken breast might consist of a segment of cooked meat repeated multiple times into the shape of a chicken breast. An apple would consist of patterns for the flesh, skin, etc. This saves computing power and memory space. High end replicators can get close, but are still imperfect substitutions. Low end public replicators might provide a basic menu of "gruel."

533 Hence why Picard's family still runs a vinyard: you can't replicate wine easily because the complexity of flavors and texture from fermentation is difficult to replicate. It would be like adding Everclear to grape juice and calling it "wine." For higher quality items the emphasis is still on naturally created. When those aren't available, people pay a premium for a high end replicator and someone who knows how to tweak it.

For industrial applications, you still need to harvest the raw materials needed for replication, and it may make more since to manufacture using traditional methods rather than a more time consuming replicator route, especially for simple items or large-scale production.

Women's sports for me are basically like watching high school sports, whether boys or girls. Compared to professional men's sports, they're all slower and less skilled. Which is fine. I go into watching those sports knowing that's what it is.

What is annoying is the claim that women's professional sports are just as good as men's professional sports. And that they "deserve" the same acclaim and the same pay for a much worse product. You don't pay the same professional pay for a product that is at the level of high school sports. If women's sports were the same level as men's sports, there would be no need for women's sports. Because they'd all be competing in the existing sports leagues.

-----------------

...which is lazy story-line baloney.

Wine is a mixture of chemicals. Once you know what chemicals are present, and in what concentrations, all you need are those chemicals to "replicate it."

Even if it's something very very suble, only a few ppm...if your original source was properly analyzed and recorded, making unlimited quantities would be easy.

Thinking of a replicator as some sort of next-level 3D printer that works on a molecular level and has all base elements available as raw materials - the wine inside the bottle would be the easiest part to make. Far easier than the bottle itself, or the cork.

Not dogging you, just the plot hole.

Because it's being treated as a real disease. It's a fad. Like colleges girls going bi in their sophmore year. Yeah some of it's real but it's mostly just girls messing around. Then the guys caught on to how they could make it pay off by becoming female. Like people were totally buying it. And it fed all sorts of inner turmoil. Then the jocks discovered that they could really make it pay off. Get back at all the girls siphoning off money from the guys sports when no one cared about girls sports (except skating) and no one went on to the pros. So they got back some of there's. Meanwhile the Dems were able to exploit all of this and make the straights take all the nonsense seriously and it warps their brains.

546 Joking about fruits is "homophobic?" Finding twinks funny is the same as fearing them? Wokesters need a new epithet for people who laugh at cockgobblers. How about "homoasteic?" I think that means "finds turdburglars to be funny" in Greek.

How do you separate the men from the boys in Greece? With a crowbar.

Try the veal.

547 I know I'm very late to the thread but I'll point out that there is one exception to Ace's observation about how social media can't get you noticed or make you a star:

Hot girls with big tits.

You can in fact get yourself noticed into celebrity status on social media if you are in fact a hot girl with big tits.

549 I don't think adding women's leagues into video-game sports is going to go so well.

Assuming these games are made accurately, where the players represented in-game have the same general performance as their real-world counterparts (skating speed, ability to change direction, shot power, liklihood of making a shot, liklihood of blocking a puck, etc...), then this is going to be a disaster.

EA will be putting front-and-center into the hands of everyone who buys the game an immediate method of directly comparing / contrasting male and female athletes. It may not be as pronounced in hockey, I have no idea, but it wlil be OBVIOUS when this is done to the soccer games.

MOMMY MOMMY LOOK I CAN NOW PLAY AS MEGAN RAPI....why is she slow Mommy? Is this lagging? Are my controller batteries dead? Run faster, Megan! No! You missed? *sobs*

Wil Wheaton is ... 'straight'?

No. He is 100% buttboy bait and trans-girlie is everybody's guess.

552 Am from United States. I was diagnosed with Herpes early this year in 2021 and the doctor told me herpes has no cure. I kept searching for any possible cure. While searching, I came across lots of reviews on facebook about how doctor DOUGRAY used herbal medicine to cure different people from Herpes and other diseases. I made an order for the herpes cure eraser and I received it 5 days later, I took the medicine for 9 days as instructed. While taking the medicine, I noticed some changes in my body. I used the medicine during the outbreak and the outbreak stopped completely. all the itching and pain was gone completely. When I was done taking the herbal medicine, I went for a test and I was confirmed Herpes negative "totally cured". Before I made an order for herbal medicine, I promised Dr DOUGRAY that if his product actually worked for me I was going to share the testimony through all social media so lots of people can be aware that Herpes is curable. you can contact dr dougray via Email: drdougray@ gmail.com

554 ar.
I rather liked Wil Wheaton in "Stand By Me". The writers for "Star Trek: the Next Generation" didn't know what to do with most of their characters.

He's actually appeared as an actor in 110 separate screen productions since 1994. That includes 19 films, six made-for-television films, 49 television series, three miniseries, and 33 other sorts of production. He's appeared in that time in about 170 episodes of conventional television series and mini-series, and that doesn't count his appearances in new media like podcasts, video games, &c.

Don't care for his politics and have hardly seen him in anything in > 25 years, but people do pay him to perform. He's had a mess of credits just this year.

555 I can guarantee, nobody is asking Wil Wheaton to stick to acting.

557 I'd like to bitch about being called "cis-het". I don't like being referred to as "cisgender" or "het" or "cishetgender" or any of that shit. If they insist on making up names for my group I'll do the same to their group and they won't like the names I come up with, believe me. I prefer "normal" as my sexually, or "straight".
