  I think this comment really nails what’s irking me amount newer Trek. It used to be a show that was written in a way that regardless of your politics, anyone could watch, and it would make you think. It was a show that would sneakily slip in progressive ideas that could make you second guess your perspectives on the world.

  Now there is no depth to it, it just slaps you in the face with politics.

  This is probably gonna be a hot take, but I think Star Trek should be written in a way that is appealing for conservatives to watch, but regularly slips in metaphors which challenges their world view. Trek was at it’s best when on it’s surface it was a fun adventure show, and the politics was on a deeper level.

  Hi friend, I propose you try an experiment: post a small handful of anonymous comments on the Internet, try to make them benign as possible but casually slip in an acknowledgement that you are vegan. Something along the lines of “God that recipe looks amazing, but I think I might swap out the beef broth for veggie broth as I am vegan” like I said the point of this experiment is to say something completely as benign and inoffensive as possible.

  Once you post sit back and wait for the responses to roll in. You will likely find that while not every time, it is incredibly common for people to send you pictures of bacon, and an abundant of angry responses to the mere offhand mention of the word.

  I sincerely wish it was a straw man fallacy, but it unfortunately is a exceedingly common response to the word.

  Hey non-vegan, fun fact: No one really cares when you tell them eating plants are more efficient.

  Common responses include “bAc0Nnnnnn!” and “I’m gonna eat two times the amount of meat to make your efforts useless”.

  Can you elaborate on why this is healthier? I’ve never heard this before.

  I’ve never actually played a Star Trek game before but this looks fun and I’d like to play it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What a ripoff!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean don’t get me wrong I’m sure someone in the US does this, but as someone from there I’ve literally never heard of anyone doing such until this post.

  I feel like Seth MacFarlane would totally approve of this. The Orville was basically a love letter to 90’s trek so I think it’s really cool people have used it as a entry way into Trek.
