Dare ObasanjoWhenever people complain about their favorite intellectual property from their childhood becoming “woke” it’s usually because it simply went over their heads as kids.
Laura G, Sassy 70’s@carnage4life totally amazes me when Star Trek fans complain that the newer series are too “woke.” For crying out loud, the original series had an inter-racial crew, including a black woman on the bridge. Some of the episodes dealt very directly with prejudice. The Vulcan motto was “Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combinations.” For the late 1960’s, the show was very progressive.
Ravindra Kanodia@LauraJG @carnage4life we kind of think of the Cold War as being quaint and old-fashioned nowadays, but having a Russian guy as part of the crew was also an extremely "political" choice at the time
ChrisAshtear@LauraJG @carnage4life the craziest one for me is the youtube videos for the drumhead where they are acting as if picard is a huge conservative or something.
Like, what crazy pills are these people taking where star trek isnt a commie space utopia?
I swear these right wing nutters always use the drumhead quote when acting like star trek supports them.
