    Projection. Just because I’m not a moron consuming mindless corporate slop with more plot holes than plot and contrived drama doesn’t mean I’m some rightoid just because both upset you.

    If anything you make them look cool, were I not pretty far-left I’d probably now think the anti-woke people must be onto something if they don’t consume actual garbage and upset those who do. After all, It’s a natural desire to not want to merely consume product and get excited for the next product but to engage with stories and think about them critically, an ability you evidently lack.

    Besides, modern trek isn’t really woke at all actually. It doesn’t really explore any challenging themes or any real dilemmas, the non-binary thing in DSC was genuinely less thought provoking than the clunky TNG episode from 40 odd years ago.

    If you want some actual woke AF sci-fi, go watch For All Mankind, made by people who know what they’re doing, like Ron D. Moore, you know, the guy with probably close to a hundred lead writer credits on some of the best TNG and DS9 episodes and showrunning BSG under his belt.

    Hell the Expanse is more thought provoking and uplifting than PIC, who’s most thought provoking character is a guy who cuts people’s heads off with a sword.
