These are the same people who complain about Star Trek “suddenly going woke”
And Rage Against the Machine turning woke
RATM a band so woke they decided to shutter their forums because the feds were worried people were organizing on it.
Star Trek just got stupid, that’s all. In the past, it promoted progressive views through clever writing where the audience could see our own actions from the perspective of people living in an utopian future.
I’ve only seen Picard Seasons 1 & 3 tho, so maybe the other shows were better, but I’m not interested in prequels and that’s all anyone wants to make. S3 was basically the same as the Star Wars sequel trilogy which I’m fine with. But S1 though… that had a message that equity isn’t possible in even an ideal utopia, and bigotry (really really stupid bigotry at that) will always exist. I’m sure that wasn’t the intention, but the writers couldn’t help but put in rants about how unfair the world is and how terrible bigotry is… in a setting that’s far into the future and supposed to be a utopia. Which makes the overall message to be that equity is impossible and bigotry will always exist.
The writers didn’t seem to understand that the premise of Star Trek is and it resulted in a message I don’t think they knew they were making.
