My opinion: these hosts have to be so polarized on every opinion that they have to choose a side. Star Trek or Star Wars, she claims to not endorse Star Wars since it’s too “buzzword” and now has to identify as the opposite, despite having no knowledge or affection for the Star Trek franchise. I don’t know if it’s just the screenshot where she’s doing the hand signal backwards, but that’s about the most basic layman Star Trek cultural identifier out there. So of course she doesn’t know they have had non and third gendered species since TOS & Enterprise, along with a myriad of other issues addressed that she would get fired from that channel if she even reported on them as options.

The culture warriors over at Fox are angry at Disney so Star Wars Bad is the current messaging. Star Trek is just a blank canvas to them that is not Disney. Now, if Star Trek has a gay kiss or puts a black mermaid in charge of a fucking spaceship they'll change their tunes pretty quick.

Has a gay kiss

Yeah. Good thing they haven't had that going on for decades, and definitely didn't have an episode centered on a lesbian love affair 29 years ago.

29 years ago.

No they didn't. That was at MOST 12 years, I'm sure.

She should have picked Battlestar Galactica, given that it's backdoor Mormon fan fiction.
