The themes of celebrating diversity are absolutely the same. The difference I see is mainly the cinematography, story structure, and pacing. SNW and Lower Decks are a lot closer to what Trek has been in those aspects than Discovery was.
Again: Not saying Disco is bad at all. (Except for having a reaction shot of every one of the dozens of people on the bridge any time anything interesting happens. Those irk me.)
EDIT: After further consideration, I’ve decided that Disco is Trek, but it’s a series of Trek movies and not a series of TV episodes. But the last season is still the same premise as Andromeda.
You might not have seen my edit, but I’ve changed to viewing it as a series of Trek movies rather than a TV series, which makes much more sense. Right down to the multiple reaction close ups.
I disagree because someone sharing their opinion does not limit others from accessing the content. Edit if others aren’t targeted during the opinion sharing
Someone saying “blue isn’t a good color” doesn’t make blue less accessible, and their opinion isn’t authoritative in some access based way.
Gatekeeping to me would be flaming someone if they don’t know some nuance about some character in one particular episode then saying they shouldn’t be watching trek at all. They aren’t a “real fan.”
But we disagree on this most likely. I didn’t @ you or reply to you directly as I didn’t want to slap fight. I was just discussing with OP who has since deleted. So, dead thread I guess. To be clear: I was addressing the votes primarily.
The original statement surely is a weak opinion on its own, which was hashed out below.

I forgot the rules. Sorry.

These points being interpreted as “gatekeeping” is wild.
