I would never say it to his face, but Wil Wheaton is a gifted content creator (acting, blogging, videos) and a wonderful person.

/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

Wait... What would you say to his face?
I'm shy. I'd probably just give him a thumbs up or finger guns or something.
Given his most frequent complaint online, it would probably be something along the lines of, "Shut up, Wesley"
"Shut up, Wesley"
Say it to him! Wil has gone through it with the fandom and deserves to know his work is appreciated and celebrated. He was just a kid when people didn't like Wesley on screen and told him to his face, at least we can tell adult Wil he's a very good boy and we love him very much
I actually always liked Wesley
I'll probably never run across him but if I do and it was a situation that made sense I'd tell him.
Apparently some people hate them just for him, but I really enjoyed his narration of Ready Player One and John Scalzi's Interdependency series.
I definitely don’t hate him, I think he’s great and funny
I was misquoting the office, I’d probably be too shy to approach him but i would have no problem telling him his blog is courageous and it’s nice to have a celebrity being really open and honest about mental health.
Oh I know you weren't bashing him. I was agreeing with your point that he's super talented.
His tumblr blog is righteous. I’m not down with the Wes-bashing around here. That’s the sort of dishonorable dreck some of you p’tahk enjoy.
*annoyed harrumph*
It's done from a place of love and appreciation, for me at least. (H)Wil (H)Wheaton is a treasure.
Man, in some ways, Wil looks exactly the same as he did when he first stepped onto the Enterprise. I want to be one of those people that ages so nicely, dammit.
I couldn't believe it when i saw his son play a game with him. The kid looks older than his dad lol
EDIT: The eyes are missing that manic quality, and the hair is just... off. If anyone wants to attempt to improve it, have my GIMP file here

Nowadays we'd write it as X.I.U. because wade-giles is just a mess.
