Yeah… That’s fair. People gave DS9 shit for having a black guy as lead. Gave Voyager shit for having a woman as lead. Had a fucking meltdown over the black woman as lead. Think we’d be over this shit by now.

I was talking more about Burnham however I have actually seen people whine that she isn’t white. “Why does she have to be black?” was the line I saw. Left that group pretty fucking fast.

Oh shit, I totally forgot about Michael. People are shit. How can you watch Star Trek and be a bigot. Makes zero sense.

Or, as the bad bitch says, rip out their tongue and use it to clean our boots.

100% People were mad about a woman captain, a woman chief engineer, and Kes just being there. I remember reading some forums back then that were just awful. It made me sad because Voyager was my favorite show at the time since Tuvok and Tom Paris are both awesome. Them adding skinsuit of nine to pander to that subgroup of fans was just stupid. Don’t get me wrong, I love Seven and Jeri Ryan’s acting especially was amazing, they could have gave her a full uniform though. Fucking Rick Berman ruining everything he touches strikes again.
