but it’s hard to imagine someone who thinks like that finding anything to like about Star Trek.

For those folk, my guess is they cherry pick all the flaws and celebrate them, like the:

• hyper masculinity of the Klingons
• female suppression of the Ferengi
• meritocracy of deception of the Romulans
• female enslavement of the Orions
• authoritarian control of the Founders
• the brutality to the weak of the Cardassians
• biological forced sexual intercourse of the Vulcans
• stubborn and rude arguments of the Telorites
• racism of the Andorians

They take all the flaws introduced to each race and celebrate those as evidence of an ideal. These folks don’t realize that each race has a flaw in them to show their imperfection.
