For some reason I watched one of these dudes review Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. It was woke because there were more women than men in the bridge crew.

The amount of conservatives who don't realize that Star Trek is the OG "woke" show is crazy. Like yes THAT'S THE POINT OF THE SHOW!

To be fair William ShatMyPants doesn't remember that either.

Who here remembers them broadcasting "They're black on the LEFT side!" back in the mid-60's? I don't, I wouldn't be born for another 20 years.

I love SNW and can say I (and probably 99% of viewers) have never noticed this because who actually counts up the number of each sex? I feel like even with their logic, the captain being a man should give them some level of comfort...

I count the number of sexes. the entirety of lemmy has had exactly 0 sexes in the last 10 years.

Edit: Fuck, i thought we were on shitposts.

Back in TOS, Pike said something to the effect of "I'll never get used to a woman on the bridge" so I'm sure somewhere along the lines someone in production/writing had a good laugh.

And honestly.... Who gives a flying fuck.

I didn't think I would like it because it changes a lot of stuff, but nah. I like what I've seen so far, admittedly haven't gotten too far since my wife wanted to start watching star trek with me and we started on TNG.

ANYONE criticizing "new trek" for "being woke" is an idiot who has no idea about the history of the entire show.

That's like people getting mad at Rage Against the Machine because they were just such a great NONPOLITICAL band before.... And I'll probably listen to the guy with a PoliSci degree over some rando in oakleys screaming into a phone while sitting in his lifted pickup.

new trek is bad when it's superficial and action-y, see DIS and PIC, but SNW is true to the spirit of Star Trek, pitching actual sci-fi scenarios and provoking thought.

[–] Kase@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

SNW?? MORE LIKE SJW!!!!!1! /s

[–] SwampYankee@mander.xyz 1 points 10 months ago

Yeah I definitely didn't notice it until I watched that "review".

I had someone who actually watched the movie tell me that Dial of Destiny was too liberal. Unless they're literally a Nazi or object to the reality of Vietnam War protestors existing in 1969, I have no idea what they meant.
