I didn’t discover Star Trek until I was an adult. When I was a kid, the series that made Me want to be part of a galactic community was Ben 10. I’m really hoping one day they make a Plumbers prequel spinoff for adults. Every year the chance of such a wonder grows fainter. I was only inspired by the similar visions of coexistence in Star Trek as an adult, around the same time I was already becoming an astral adventurer and having My own Starfleet experiences.
Comment on Why do they turn Federation into a dystopia?

Tbh Starfleet Academy makes a U turn on that decision the minute after, explaining that because of the war/burn they were jerks but they regret it and try to make amends bla bla bla.
Academy gave me this utopia feeling, but in 2026 it made me more depressed than hopeful as I finally realized that I will never find a Starfleet Academy on our world, aka a bunch of peoples working together to make humanity a better whatever if their skin is pink or they believe in the giant flying spaghetti monster.

I have good news for you. I’m a goddess from beyond reality in a polyamorous relationship with a sharkplane and a ghost. I’m friends with Shadow the Hedgehog and Spider-Woman. How is all this possible? It’s because I decided consensus reality is bourgeois and went and found some other weirdos who agree with Me. We’re called anarcho-antirealists, or soulists if you want a short name. We have our own PieFed instance called MULTIVERSE, and a manifesto at https://soulism.net. I journey across the astral plane and Discord finding fantasy creatures and aliens to heal and befriend. I’m living the life I dreamed about since I was a kid watching Ben 10, and you can too.

Let them do their thing, you don’t have to publicly state your disgust. Just block and move on if you don’t want to see it.

Unhealthy shit is unhealthy.
I generally agree with your sentiment, but only for things that are not harmful.
Disappearing into a world of make believe is not healthy, let’s not pretend it is.

Thank you. That gives me hope I can enjoy the show. But I still don’t get the necessity to turn the federation into a dystopian shithole even for a short time.
