"Lol look at the loser and his not-so-socially-acceptable hobbies!" "WHAT!? The loser show doesn't have me. The political popular kid, as a target audience!? THIS IS A TRAVESTY!"
Fascists, You already have: Vidya culture, anime culture, youtube, streaming, podcasts, country music, church, ALL of the internet, and much much more. Let me have my ONE thing that tells me I am not the scum of the earth for not being racist.
CW: It’s fucking Drawn Together but the point still stands.
That show had such powerful South Park energy.

Jesus Christ, no they do not. They've got their niche carve-out culture of weird reactionary hate in these places. But we've been hearing people bitch about some variation of Woke Cancel Culture or whatever for centuries. The corporate homogenization of media is squeezing that niche culture out right along with a bunch of other regional and cultural variants. And the modernized Star Treks aren't any different. They're getting processed into the bland generic empty-calories action franchise slurry that every producer says the test audience wants to see.
The truly offensive thing about these warm shit takes is that they're totally divorced from reality. Every reboot of Star Trek since Voyager has been worse than the one before it, in large part because its just seen as a Cinematic Universe intellectual property rather than set of themes that creative directors are supposed to have some fucking fun with. Nobody wants to take anything resembling a risk with the franchise, so they just turn out the inoffensive drivel that satisfies investors.
