Wil looks like he's already mentally planning their life together : risa

Don't blame Wil. Dudes dishy. Not to mention Wil being one of the best and most genuine people on this planet.

Also that must have been a trip. Meeting people you love seeing on screen and then having the person you love propose with them as witness?

That being said... wonder how many times that's happened to the cast by now?

Edit: I'm not trying to bash doing this for the record, I realize it could have come off that way. It was from a place of genuine curiosity. Like I wonder if they were the first.

It blows my mind Wil is in his 40s then I remember I used to watch TNG fresh as a kid.

[–] holeydood3@midwest.social 32 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Would it blow your mind doubly to find out he's actually in his 50s?

[–] GreenMario@lemm.ee 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Shit, actually I remembered it wrong cuz he did say that in one of those interviews with the cast he does and my brain still subtracted 10 years cuz "no fucking way dude" I guess.

[–] Orionza@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Ha did your brain start counting by your age? Mine does that. Oh that was 60 years ago. Wait no it wasn't...then I start counting ... Not sure whether to 😂 or 😭 it's boggling.

What do you mean? What do you mean he's in his 50s???

[–] SatanicNotMessianic@lemmy.ml 20 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I am happy for the guy, but I think I would have picked one of the other contestants.

[–] Wogi@lemmy.world 30 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I mean LaVar Burton is right there

You saying that like Frakes isn't in the back row, ready to step over as many chairs as needed to get that ring.

[–] Wogi@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Frakes might want the girl now, but will stick around for the kids.

[–] Lepsea@sh.itjust.works 13 points 1 year ago

Why is he beatboxing?

[–] milkisklim@lemm.ee 8 points 1 year ago

Is it bad that when I read "Will" I immediately looked for Johnathan Frakes instead of Wheaton ?

"Do you take this woman as your wife?"

"Ye--"

"Shut up, sniff Wesley"

Wil Wheatons wife is 3 years older, not 30. What the hell is wrong with you?

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

And seriously in what world are people complaining about famous actors marrying someone older than themselves.

[–] TSG_Asmodeus@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I think we can guess why.

Is it? Wil Wheaton isn’t like mega star or anything but there’s a decent chance any random person knows he’s an actor

Dude, as a fellow neurodivergent person, it’s not comparable to blackface. Like not even a little. It’s definitely mocking autistic people sure, but people need to stop comparing shit to blackface

Parodies, mockeries, buffooning, cruel depiction for humorous effect. Really anything other than comparing it to a form of racialized mockery that depicted a group of people as less than or barely human within a lifetime of the ending of their centuries of enslavement. I understand that it can feel like they’re similar but people are way too comfortable comparing mockery to blackface.

Uhm, drag shows are absolutely not comparable in any way to blackface. The fact that you make that comparison reveals that you have little to zero understanding of drag or its history.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oh you’re one of those lunatics.

Like yeah I have my issues with the misogyny present in many drag queen’s acts. Many others mock gendered expectations as a whole and can be quite funny without offense. But what would I know, I’ve only been discussing the feminist theory around drag in lesbian and lgbt spaces for most of a decade and have had my mindset influenced by bio queens and some particularly amusing drag kings as well as some drag queens who clearly have respect and awe for the women they parody.

So yeah, also not even close to blackface.

Just tell him to shut up.
