Quite on point. As you can clearly read from my message, I stopped after 10 minutes.
Comment on Why do they turn Federation into a dystopia?
Lemmchen@feddit.org 22 hours agoThis right here. The only way you can end up with OP’s opinion after watching the first episode is when you don’t pay attention at all.

Do you not understand how dramatic storytelling works? Did you stop reading To Kill a Mockingbird because it’s racist to have an innocent black man accused of murder?

Honestly, all of the new bucket of frequently parroted opinions only make sense if you don’t pay attention. I saw one recently calling SFA “edgy teenage drama with bullying”. “Edgy” is the furthest thing from what SFA is. It’s the biggest let’s-work-together-and-support-our-friends piece of media I might have ever seen. It’s comfort food.
It’s nothing new sadly, and the one I always circle back to is Adira’s coming out scene. It’s literally ten seconds long and never discussed again. But over and over again you’ll (still!) see comments describing “a long story arc” and how Discovery writers are “obsessed with gender”.
I have to assume these people go straight from the ragebait youtubers to reddit/lemmy comments without ever stopping to watch the show.
