I mean, TOS has Captain Church galavanting around the galaxy with his mixed-race manservant, inserting himself in other races’ business so he can sex up all the foreign women.
Voyager has a woman captain that’s so incompetent she strands her crew on the opposite side of the galaxy.
DS9 and STD have black main characters that are canonically violent criminals.
There is a race of Jewish rat people…
Also the ships are run like military ships (which they are), starfleet is very top-down authoritative. I also wasn’t a huge fan of how they treated any local laws like gospel, even when they were about to cost a crew member their life or freedom for stupid reasons.

Hey, the Ferengi are space arabs, thank you very much.
It’s the military space battles. Most of them gloss over the whole socialist utopia as “fantasy” and just go right to “they’re just military during peace time” view
Not just that; look at it from a specific angle, and it’s about a white, straight, human male ‘saving’ the poor, savage alien species—when not beating up the evil, aggressive brown alien species, that is.
I mean, they are obviously missing a lot of the context, but they’re not pulling their beliefs out of thin air, either.

"When did Star Wars get so woke, and therefore broke???"

If fucking only it went broke. They’ve produced like 3 hits, 8 misses. Their budgets are a billion dollars each, how can they so consistently create garbage with a billion dollars? It’s utterly baffling. And it isn’t even entertaining garbage. I enjoyed birdemic and the like. It’s just boring, disjointed, anxiety-inducing, and dumb.

They just say that. I don't know why, they don't either. And you're right, they make consistently uninteresting slop. They managed to make Star Wars boring, and this is coming from a massive Star Wars fan lol
Same thing with Marvel, I stopped watching any of it after Secret Invasion.

Fuck that. The morons who scream WOOOOKE at everything they don’t like that doesn’t fully cater to their worldviews are part of the reason why those shows and movies suck. Blaming bad writing on any kind of agenda is giving the writers and showrunners an undeserved scapegoat.
Yes, the latter seasons of Doctor Who were an atrocity, but it’s not because the Doctor had been retconned to having multiple female incarnations, it’s because Chris Chibnall is a fucking terrible showrunner and dogshit writer.
