It is better to be thought a fool and remain silent than to speak and remove all doubt. If you do not know what you are talking about, then say nothing unless or until you learn enough to have an informed opinion.

I have a different philosophy. I believe in upfront honesty.
If I am ignorant, I act ignorant and depend on the kindness of strangers. If I am wise, I share in wisdom. If I have weakness, I bare it for all to see.
There is no shame in being judged honestly, for good or ill. How people accept or reject you is THEIR burden, NOT yours.
Knowing that you're about to say something stupid and saying it anyway is not honesty. Honesty would be admitting to yourself that you have no idea what you're talking about, and then humility what have you either not say anything or a state that you're not warm enough on the topic to have a opinion.

So, act like a pretentious snob?
No thanks.
I'm what' she known as a "haptic" learner, as opposed to visualitory or auditory. I learn by doing. I do my research, yes, but I also seek opinions while I'm learning, and after I learn, to brain storm and converse.
Frankly, it's not in my nature to "debate" someone, because I have no desire to "win" an argument. This is something other people do, and I'll play along for the viewpoints.
That's the real goal there for me. Different points of view. I'll purposely "throw" an argument if I get another viewpoint out of it.

That is a lot of words to say you are lazy, thoughtless, and irresponsible.

I did. And then the final episode undid all of Lynn's character development.
Plus I never liked Teela, it was everyone else I enoyed. Teela comes across like an angry feminist stereotype, complete with removing every hint of feminine sex appeal.
Because the only real feminist is a butch feminist, I guess.

By all means, what feminist platitudes does Teela specifically express that makes her a feminist stereotype? It sounds like you are stereotyping women based on their appearance as being "angry feminists," because they are not sufficiently feminine for you as they try to survive in a post-apocalyptic world.

I'm not washing my hands of it yet if that's what you're asking.
Am REALLY disappointed by Lynn though. I realize there's plenty of time left for more growth, and maybe a backstab on Skeletor, but even so... The Orko bonding should have been enough to at least resist a little bit.

Well she had spent her whole life as Skeletors lackey/mistress. Thats tough to just brush off that fast.
Having said that she was clearly conflicted when she stood by Skeletor.

Magic had not yet returned to Eternia, so she and the Sorceress were still powerless, and Skeletor just took the Power of Grayskull. What was she supposed to do? Evil-Lyn did what she always does: live to plot another day.

Some are doubling-down, because they cannot admit they were wrong. It represents short-term thinking—how to immediately avoid criticism now. But it is a bad long-term strategy, because the second part debuts in a few weeks, and everyone will see that they cried wolf.
Others see the writing on the wall, and are trying to walk back their original complaints. Unfortunately for them, memories are long, and the Internet is forever. So no one is going to let them forget it.

Yeah she literally had no option. But I do feel she was (naturally) conflicted too.

You seen trailer for second half ? Pretty spoiler filled but looks promising.
I just hope we don't get an outcome similar to the comics.
There, Lynn seemed to fall in love with a thief. She told him all about herself. They talked of running away from the life at one point. It ended up being as part of an errand for Skeletor, yet she kept sentimental attachments to the man she betrayed, hinting not all of her duty was an act.
