Especially with Trek.


Do we need to keep reminding people that Star Trek depicted the first interracial kiss on television? Star Trek was always woke, over corporatization has just been sanding all political and social messages down to a corporate approved interpretation, aka boring, stupid, and not nearly inflammatory enough.


No, Star Trek was never "woke" like it was today. The writers actually were willing to depict moral dilemmas and let the audience members draw their own conclusions. These days they openly preach at the audience and then wonder why nobody wants to watch their stories any more.


People said the same thing about the interracial kiss or the "left side white, right side black" episode. You're suffering from recency bias and rose tinted glasses.


Do you watch Star Trek Academy?
