    The meaning of woke changed. That is to say, TNG isn’t woke in the same way STD tries to be.

    TNG is about self reflection, self improvement, professionalism, materialism, humanism, striving every day to make tomorrow better than yesterday.

    STD is about emotions, entitlement… And honestly I struggle to find what the show actually says. There’s a focus on CGI spectacle. But since STD contains a black woman as captain, a gay couple, and a non binary individual, criticism of its lack of depth isn’t allowed.

    We see the writers pat themselves on the back for things Star Trek has already done in the past, just to give themselves social brownie points, and if you don’t like it you’re a sexist bigot. That is what woke means today. It’s not true progressivism.
