    Yeah but…

    I honestly can’t remember anyone ever complaining about that part.

    Why? Because fans complain about everything but fans of star Trek are not fans of trek for the pew pew, they’re fans because of the exploration of social issues, it’s star treks entire thing.

    What people complained about all the time was star Trek pretending to be dealing with social issues by being very overtly “look at us, look at us being progressive!” evil story lines were shit and it mostly was pew pew and lens flares.

    I LOVE star Trek (actual star Trek, not the modern trash) because of the social issues it touches, it’s just that nu trek has shit writers and THAT was what people were complaining about (and still are), yet somehow new trek fans got the idea that complaining about crappy story lines is the same as complaining about the social issues. It is not.
