Comment on About Star Trek Starfleet Academy blacklash
usernamefactory@lemmy.ca 1 day agoJust saw jem Hadar in the star fleet in this trailer? What?
Why is that a problem? In TOS, Klingons were the enemy, then TNG brought us Worf. In TNG, the Ferengi were the enemy, then in DS9 Nog joined up. Star Trek is all about coming together and overcoming differences.
I see them prioritizing:
- Diversity and political correctness
I wish. They’ve cancelled all the shows with queer representation. SNW has about a hundred relationships going on, all straight. I miss Disco and Lower Decks.

none of those are explicitly evolved and bred by another race to act as their cannon fodder, and kept in-line by psychoactive substances they are genetically engineered to die without.
sure you can argue that they can be fixed by medicine and deprogramming, but it would be a bit like a new star wars film having a battle droid as a jedi padawan

If the Dominion has had any sort of reformation at all over the last several hundred years, I would think that freeing the Jem’Hadar would have been near the top of the “to do” list.
It hardly seems fair to compare them to robots.

I agree, but also… you know if battle droids existed in Star Trek there’d be at least one episode where one of them breaks with its programming and comes to Starfleet seeking asylum. Like the exocomps, or Hugh in “I, Borg”, or even Data getting his day in court to prove his free will. Star Trek wants everyone to be free, whatever they’re made out of.

I’ll take droid rights seriously as soon as Star Wars does. 😂
