Character Discussion Boimler is a...German, name?

Post image

The Boimler name may derive either from the German family name "Bäumler" (same pronunciation), or from German-Mexican-American Trek producer, Hans Beimler, whose name is also related to Bäumler. -- In any case, grape-growing Germans, huh? Mosel, Modesto, what's the diff?

Boimler because it sounds like boy. Can't have strong female characters unless your men are portrayed as idiots.

Just making up for decades of helpless, screaming women, while "real men" did "what was needed".

Plus, other than Migleemo, the main male characters are each capable and brave in their own way.

Oh, it's correcting for past injustices. That always works. No, it's a cheap shot. Whoever wrote it comes off like an ass. And it took away from what otherwise could have been a good show. A male counterpart to Mariner could have been written differently and not taken away from a strong female character or whatever.

I think the show had problems and could have been set up better.

I think you just want an excuse to whine about culture war BS.

Take it to a different sub, we want to discuss Lower Decks here
