Star Trek fans have held the national stereotype of being way too rabid about things for decades but they’re probably the nicest fan base in all of science fiction and the one least likely to have a large faction of them absolutely lose it over a torpedo being fired by a woman or dumb shit like that

Yeah, its not like Star Trek suddenly went woke, its been woke. First ever TV kiss between mixed races was between Kirk and Uhura. Scandalous.
It’s literally like 80% of the show’s concept. The idea was to hide morality plays behind wacky alien makeup.
That’s actually a common misconception. Not to downplay the significance of what Shatner and Nichols pulled off to get around the various censors (ruining alternate takes and such), but many TV shows did it before Star Trek.

I think it was the first one that was both broadcast nationally in a primetime slot and where the actors were easily identifiable as having different ethnicities on a tiny TV screen. Would explain the misconception.
I think it certainly was the most noticeable of anything shown on American TV at that point. But the British had us beat by years.
Shatner is on that list multiple times. That man had an agenda.
He likes his coffee how he likes his women.
easily within reach?
To go?
And they’re not even that woke. Afaik they still ocasionally eat animals in the 24th century. (Unless they’re Vulcan.) Watch The Orville if you want some proper progressive shit 😆
You mean like “agree to date me or else I’ll date the younger clone of you?”
You weren’t supposed to see that.
No, no, more like “I’m going to fly a shuttle outside your quarters so I can spy on you during your date”
You didn’t actually watch that ep, didja? Several tells there lol
(Honestly if you wanted fucking problematic Gordon was right there)
They have food replicators. The only thing not vegan about replicated meat is that they’d probably use your poop as bulk material to synthesize stuff
Pretty ure I saw Riker cooking with eggs at some point. And who knows what neelix gets up to in the galley
Could just replicate the eggs, or even a raw steak to grill, would still be poop meat.
Neelix on the other hand…
