    I don’t mind wokeness if the story is good, but to crash a story to champion wokeness is unacceptable to me.

      Lmao first interracial kiss, champion of non-binary, trans, and gay people for the super obvious if you used two or more brain cells when watching metaphor characters sprinkled all over the seasons.

      Sure, go ahead and say this hasn’t always been star trek.

      This is like people who think Starship Trooper is a Gung-go military action thriller… I’d ask if you’d like to know more, but if you did, you wouldn’t be this dumb.

        … We are talking about the TV show with an episode where they show it’s wrong for aliens with black and white skin to discriminate against the same aliens with white and black skin, right? Just making sure we and the “the story is bad because wokeness is at the forefront” comment are on the same page.

        Paul Verhoeven is great at satire that goes over people’s heads. Same with Robocop, which is a hyper violent satire on American police militarization, privatization, corporate corruption and a complete lack of government oversight.

      Please provide an example of when this has happened so we can notify the appropriate parties and get them to ease up for you.

      Nobody is doing that. Literally nobody is writing those scripts, you just view them as “woke” because suddenly the hero isn’t male, or white. Pretend die hard doesn’t exist, If you were to write die hard exactly as it’s on the script but McClain is a woman, is that woke?

      Why is it that when a woman or person of color gets even close to a leading role, suddenly it’s called “woke”

        “When you’re accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression” and gets labeled “woke.”

        Didn’t you get the memo? Star Trek is OK now, Star Wars is woke. This brought to you by people who do the Vulcan Salute wrong.

          The Last Jedi is the only good Star Wars movie since the original. ESB ruined Star Wars by making it a dynastic story.
