Context?

Some conservative idiot with a camera in front of them called Star Wars too woke and then was like “that is why I like Star Trek”….. which obviously indicates they had no idea about the basic aspects of Star Trek.

Lmfaooooo

Star trek which has been openly gay and racially diverse since the fucking 60s? And had kinda sorta trans character representstion by the 90s? That's the less woke one?

Most intelligent conservative ditz

Don't forget that the Federation is supposed to be a post-scarcity socialist utopia.

[-] CADmonkey@lemmy.world 12 points 5 months ago

Didn't they do the first interracial kiss on TV? And there was the episode with these guys in it?

I doubt she's seen a single episode lol.

But since she is so worried about whatever "woke" is, she should be made to watch Andor.

And there was the episode with these guys in it?

Yep. Let That Be Your Last Battlefield. They had to make it really blatant to get executive approval.

Also, there's a ton of takes of (I think) Frank Gorshin fucking up his lines on the Star Trek Bloopers LP.

First interracial kiss on US TV, yeah, but not the first overall by a long shot

[-] newthrowaway20@lemmy.world 13 points 5 months ago

I guess they forgot about season 4 of Star Trek Discovery where Stacy Abrams was the president of Earth.

[-] Hyperreality@kbin.social 15 points 5 months ago

Or season that 30 year old episode of TNG where Riker has a relationship with an alien who's trans.

[-] newthrowaway20@lemmy.world 10 points 5 months ago

Or that really old TOS episode where the people were half black half white, and half white half black.

Oh right, I'll put the context in the post body.

[-] Flyberius@hexbear.net 1 points 5 months ago

The context was removed!

[-] The_Picard_Maneuver@startrek.website 1 points 5 months ago

Really? I still see it.

I did accidentally put it as a comment first, then removed that myself before adding it to the actual post body.

[-] Flyberius@hexbear.net 2 points 5 months ago

I have that *removed externally hosted image* message. Maybe it's cos we are on different instances.

[-] The_Picard_Maneuver@startrek.website 3 points 5 months ago

Weird... Well no harm in trying again:

[-] Flyberius@hexbear.net 3 points 5 months ago

Lol, the bastards have done it again!

[-] Crankpork@beehaw.org 10 points 5 months 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.
