Seriously, I’ve never personally seen anyone complain about startrek being woke now…
I have seen many people (including myself) complaining that star trek went from actually woke to just only virtue signalling and putting itself on the back on how progressive it suddenly is and yet somehow forgetting how to make people think about a ethics subject in a well written and entertaining way like it did in the past. Star trek has sucked ever after enterprise. Badly.
Commence the down voting and telling me I’m a racist…
And I’ve never personally seen anyone called a racist for criticizing a show’s writing quality. In fact, there are plenty of people in this thread expressing distaste for Discovery who don’t seem to be getting much flack for it at all.
For my part, while Discovery had its faults, I’d favour its writing over Enterprise’s any day of the week. Seems like a lot of fans have really warmed up to Enterprise in the past few years, but in my day it was almost universally derided, and every time I’ve tried to give it a rewatch it’s only reinforced that impression.
I couldn’t stomach Enterprise back in the day and it kinda turned me off to Trek until SNW and Lower Decks. Discovery is different but I still enjoyed it.
Ive never watched DS9 but op makes me think I should lol

I’ve seen it. Especially in conservative circles.
And that makes actual valid criticism racist / sexist / anti woke / whatever too, somehow?

You absolutely should. I’m too far gone to choose a favourite, but I think there’s a strong argument that DS9 is still the best series Trek has had.
