It’s only Star Trek in name.
Honestly, this isn’t Star Trek.
shareIt took me 2 and a half seasons of this crap to figure that out. It's like current Doctor who. It has the title but it's an entirely new show made for a very specific PC woke audience. I'm enjoying Strange new worlds though. Better than Picard and Discovery.
shareTOS was woke as fuck
shareThen why do all you pretend Star Trek fans call Captain Kirk a misogynist?
share1 i have been a fan longer than you, or anyone else on here
2 gay kissing on ST doesn't trigger me, just like interracial kissing on ST didn't trigger me 50 years ago
Gene Rodenberry and Rick Burman never included human homosexual kissing. They are the only legit Trek producers.
LOL!
shareThere were homosexual and transgender storylines in ST:TNG and ST:DS9.
LGBTQ bigotry is in the forefront now which is the reason the series addresses it now.
Racism was the main issue in the 1960s. The interracial kiss episode was banned in the South.
"There were homosexual and transgender storylines in ST:TNG and ST:DS9."
Nope, Riker had a bizarre relationship in ONE episode with an alien that gays interpret as a homosexual relationship. The Trill were aliens that transexuals interpret as transexuals. It's projection. No human, openly homosexual characters were portrayed in the 5 Star Trek shows under Rodenberry or Berman's watch.
Sorry to burst your bubble, but the Trill are a transgender species. I watched ST:TNG when it originally aired. Dr. Crusher didn't know the guy she loved was part of a symbiotic relationship - small squiggly creature inside humanoid body. She had to wait for her boyfriend's new body to arrive after his old one died. She did the nasty with Riker who had temporarily hosted the squiggly. Anyway, her boyfriend's new body was a woman!!!! Crusher was shocked and announced the relationship was over.
Gays were upset at Crusher's homophobic reaction!
To make amends, the episode about Riker falling in love with a non-gendered person who felt gendered was created. That episode was meant to address homophobia. Normal is NOT heterosexuality on Riker's lover's planet.
ST:DS9. Sisko called Dax "Old Man" all the time even though she was now a young female. There was a lesbian kiss in one of the episodes which made history. See for yourself:

That episode received a great deal of publicity. It may have been a first for a commercial TV series.
Also, Kira in the Parallel Universe said she wanted to have sex with Our Universe Kira! LOL!!!
The official Star Trek website addresses the issue further:

From its inception, Trek was always about pushing the envelope and addressing current issues and controversies.
