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.

[–] Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 3 points 10 months ago

29 years ago.

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

It has several gay kisses

[–] AbsoluteChicagoDog@lemm.ee 2 points 10 months ago

....have you watched Discovery?

[–] pimento64@sopuli.xyz 14 points 10 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] Landmammals@lemmy.world 14 points 10 months ago (2 children)

You had me at backdoor Mormons

[–] ares35@kbin.social 3 points 10 months ago

the ol' poop hole loop hole.

[–] Thteven@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

Is that the sequel to Debbie does Salt Lake City?

[–] Thcdenton@lemmy.world 23 points 10 months ago

Fuckin dork can't even do the spocker right

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 17 points 10 months ago

She really likes the Terran Empire and Section 31.

[–] Ladybird@lemm.ee 11 points 10 months ago

I didn't see the headline at first and thought she was showing off her engagement ring on live TV in the most awkward way possible, lmao

[–] Lucien@hexbear.net 10 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Says the person who has obviously never watched star trek

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 6 points 10 months ago

"Star Trek is progressive. Star Wars is woke. Now, keep in mind I have no fucking idea what 'woke' actually means as I am incapable of inferring meaning through context."

[–] empireOfLove2@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 10 months ago (3 children)

Context?

[–] dumpsterlid@lemmy.world 48 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (2 children)

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.

[–] empireOfLove2@lemmy.dbzer0.com 35 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (2 children)

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

[–] Mostly_Gristle@lemmy.world 31 points 10 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] CADmonkey@lemmy.world 11 points 10 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] TheGrandNagus@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

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

[–] newthrowaway20@lemmy.world 12 points 10 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] Hyperreality@kbin.social 14 points 10 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] newthrowaway20@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago

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

[–] Crankpork@beehaw.org 10 points 10 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.

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@startrek.website 10 points 10 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] Flyberius@hexbear.net 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

The context was removed!

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@startrek.website 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

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 10 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@startrek.website 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Weird... Well no harm in trying again:

[–] Flyberius@hexbear.net 3 points 10 months ago

Lol, the bastards have done it again!

[–] Juigi@lemm.ee 5 points 10 months ago

America you got some weird news hosts.

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 4 points 10 months ago

What the..

[–] ThrowawayPermanente@sh.itjust.works 4 points 10 months ago

Quick, someone tell her about Discovery

[–] TWeaK@lemm.ee 3 points 10 months ago

Where's Hugh Dennis when you need him?!
