It’s not just that. It’s people who claim to be Star Trek fans but actively ignore everything Star Trek stands for. Those aren’t people who injected themselves in to complain, they’re just deluded. You see it with every new series. People come out of the woodwork to complain about diversity or inclusion. Easy to forget now, but Voyager and DS9 both got insane amounts of flak for having a female and a black Captain, respectively. These are people who can quote Star Trek until they’re blue in the face but will never let what they’re quoting marinate.
Indeed. I always found that beyond stupid. DS9 and VOY are my favourite shows, and I never thought anything of the not-white-male characters. Now, I’ll admit I didn’t like DSC much, but never for the diversity of characters, that is the Star Trek Way.
