My opinion: these hosts have to be so polarized on every opinion that they have to choose a side. Star Trek or Star Wars, she claims to not endorse Star Wars since it’s too “buzzword” and now has to identify as the opposite, despite having no knowledge or affection for the Star Trek franchise. I don’t know if it’s just the screenshot where she’s doing the hand signal backwards, but that’s about the most basic layman Star Trek cultural identifier out there. So of course she doesn’t know they have had non and third gendered species since TOS & Enterprise, along with a myriad of other issues addressed that she would get fired from that channel if she even reported on them as options.
Oh hey, I heard Star Trek got mentioned on the news! Let's just go check and-

TOS had the first interracial kiss between a white person and a black person on U.S. TV. It also shows a socialist utopia where men and women of all races are equal, indigenous cultures are respected, and they try to talk out a hostile situation before they resort to firing their weapons whenever they can.
Fox News should absolutely loathe that.

TNG basically had Riker fuck an alien trans woman in 1992.
Any trekkie who complains about Trek being too woke, is either a moron, or not an actual fan.

The neat thing about post scarcity societies is that economic systems become moot so long as the government isn’t particularly oppressive. It’s still an hierarchical, and somewhat militaristic, society.
It also followed the old scifi serial blueprint they were used to.

Yeah I thought about the Kirk-Uhura kiss but two things, they aren’t currently openly saying that shouldn’t be allowed (on Fox News) and considering she was a Yeoman or a Lieutenant at the time being kissed by her Captain is right along the “grab em by the pussy” narrative they side with.
You are right if they looked at any of the social establishments that the franchise embraces they would hate it.

The culture warriors over at Fox are angry at Disney so Star Wars Bad is the current messaging. Star Trek is just a blank canvas to them that is not Disney. Now, if Star Trek has a gay kiss or puts a black mermaid in charge of a fucking spaceship they’ll change their tunes pretty quick.

Has a gay kiss
Yeah. Good thing they haven’t had that going on for decades, and definitely didn’t have an episode centered on a lesbian love affair 29 years ago.

She should have picked Battlestar Galactica, given that it’s backdoor Mormon fan fiction.
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I wonder if the Nauvoo in The Expanse is sort of ‘revenge’ for Battlestar Galactica?

Some conservative idiot with a camera in front of them called Star Wars to woke and then was like “that is why I like Star Trek”…… which obviously indicate said idiot has no idea what the first thing about Star Trek is.

Lmfaooooo
Star trek which has been openly gay and racially diverse since the fucking 60s? That’s the less woke one?
Most intelligent conservative ditz

I guess they forgot about season 4 of Star Trek Discovery where Stacy Abrams was the president of Earth.
Crankpork@beehaw.org 1 year ago
She doesn’t like Star Wars because it’s too woke, which is why she’s a Trekkie instead. Implying that Star Trek isn’t woke. Which is ridiculous.

“Star Trek is progressive. Star Wars is woke. Now, keep in mind I have no fucking idea what ‘woke’ actually means as I am incapable of inferring meaning through context.”

So strange… I can also see your reply to nothing (my own deleted comment is gone for me).

I love that she’s such a Trekkie that she doesn’t even know how to do the Vulcan salute properly, despite probably having seen images of it her entire life even if she never watched a single episode of Star Trek.
The_Picard_Maneuver@startrek.website 1 year ago
Showing the back of the hand makes it look like she’s flashing some Vulcan gang sign, haha.
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 year ago
It’s this guy’s gang sign.
