shat is part of the problem, outspoken anti-trans
It's sad that people completely misunderstand what Star Trek is about.

He is.
Doesn’t mean we can’t take him out of context and use his words to advocate for more than just the things he thinks they advocate.
He has it right here. That he doesn’t fully know that is his problem.

He’s such a straight white cis man! (Apparently that’s a slur to him.)

How dare you use the Star Wars term!

The new trek was cancelled because some people hated it and had outside influence.
So thanks, those of us who liked it don’t get any more of what we lifted because a few dicks had outsized influence.
I don’t get to enjoy something because you didn’t like it. Thanks.
You could have just not watched it, but instead you had to ruin it for me too.
Fuck you. We all need to stop watching these fuckwits who think they know more than us. Unsubscribe from these channels. Stop watching them. They’re ruining our ability to watch things.

The show felt unfocused and confused. The characters, like the storylines, were kinda all over the place and didn’t really seem to know where they were going. It had a lot of potential, but it never really seem to come together.

It was the first season (and only 10 episodes in, at that, because TV production is stupid these days).
Imagine if you could only judge, say, TNG on the first 10 episodes.

They DESPERATELY needed more episodes. Like they had this whole War College thing (don’t get me started on the stupid name), and then suddenly it was just kind of gone.

All new Trek series feel unfocused and confused in their first season. Watch the first season of TNG or DS9 and tell me it was tight. Every Trek is kind of a mess at first.

In the early iterations of the 1960s smash hit Star Trek, audiences were shocked and titillated to see a white male officer in a romantic relationship with a black woman officer.
This continues to be shocking today, as modern audiences are not ready to see any (fully clothed) woman in any form of Sci-Fi media doing anything at all.

Good shit to him. He’s 100% right here.

Isn’t shatner maga scum?

Nah, he’s a good Canadian.
Okay, he’s rich, out of touch, and a total dick to his coworkers. But I’ve never seen him express any particularly bad political views.

I think (but don’t remember specific instances) Shatner is conservative leaning but I guess the canadian perspective makes him very different to MAGA.
You are probably thinking of Robert Beltran? he went open about MAGA shit on twitter shortly after jan 6 IIRC.

That makes sense of it. It was years ago, and my memory was diluted by my contemporaneous stress. Thank you for making me feel a little saner.

I wouldn’t say woke is against norms, rather against traditionalism. Traditionalism itself is often abnormal, even within its own culture.

Startrek XXX… I had a different joke in mind but now I just want Startrek 10 the movie staring Vin Diesel 😎
UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 4 hours ago
Pretty sure that was just Star Trek Beyond, the movie where the crew defeated a horde of ravenous space insects by blasting Beastie Boys hit single “Sabotage”.

Star Trek X was Nemesis, but who’s counting?

It’s a silver lining to see Shatner using his platform for the greater good.
DickFiasco@sh.itjust.works 5 hours ago
Yeah, I always thought he was kind of a douche, but I guess his heart is in the right place.
ValueSubtracted@startrek.website 4 hours ago
I think Shatner is complicated because (a) he’s 95 years old, and can’t be expected to be fully “in touch,” and (b) has definitely had some questionable people handling his social media over the years.
Skullgrid@lemmy.world 4 hours ago
Yeah, it’s shatner so you expect him to be crass, and you forget he was the first star trek captain. and agreed with the ideas being shown on screen (unlike, IDK, Barclay’s actor)

just, don’t ask him how many horses he has
TachyonTele@piefed.social 4 hours ago
Yeah. I wish people like him, sulu, and stephen king would abandon it already though.
grue@lemmy.world 3 hours ago
Looking at the downvotes, I don’t think anybody realized you meant “abandon Xitter,” not “abandon using their platform for the greater good.”
