@Hoganply you could say that about everything women say. or men. that guy didnt mean to do the suicide bombing, he was just ideologically possessed.

i really dont hate the star trek show as much as drinker does though. sure theres a bunch of female and non-white actors in it which is quite a difference from having only old white dudes on screen like in TOS. but i dont hate the lead actress and since the end of the parallell universe plot at the end of season 1 which was admittedly pretty bad, it has improved a lot imo. they should cut down on her monologue time though.

@notmyrealname-1805 how does selecting people based on skin color make society less racist? in my view, this practice of preferentially hiring certain actors because of their skin color or sex is extremely racist and/or sexist. people of different ethnicities wont feel "as valued as white people" if they know that all the actors that look like them are only given a chance because of how they look. its basically the 21st century equivalent of putting black people in a cage in the zoo. its only making society more racist. if you want a post-racist society, you need to actually stop caring about peoples skin color. stop assigning meaning or value to it. its just a few bits of mostly irrelevant genetic code. to say it in the words of martin luther king, i have a dream that one day people will be judged by the content of their character, rather than by the color of their skin.

just like videos about star wars spinoffs get more views than the movie itself. hopefully the studio execs will get the memo

@notmyrealname-1805 focusing on making sure every race is represented is in itself racist. why should it matter to anyone what the skin color of an actor happens to be?

it gets them a lot of publicity

@Sergeant_Fury yeah, and the crying becomes repetitive after a few episodes lol. what does annoy me is that now in season 3, they wrote out more than half of the straight male characters, ash tyler/voq, lorca, pike. and they introduced some kind of lgbtq or asexual thing in their place, along with one new straight male main character who gets significant screentime. the starfleet admiral and other supporting characters are straight male to give you the impression that its balanced but actually about half of the current main characters is something other than straight which if my math is correct is about 20x too much representation. so im starting to get to the point where its too much wokeness and diversity for me in the gender and sex aspect. im generally pretty quickly annoyed by it, but really in seasons 1 and 2 i didnt mind the wokeness levels too much. it was just the really bad alternate universe plot arc in 2nd half of 1st season. i kinda get the impression that drinker hated the show simply because of the fact it has a black female lead and a bad plot arc in S1.

splt twist: its actually the male studio executives that are pushing this agenda, its cheaper than hiring good writers and people will watch it. for a while. until they find out its trash. and then the execs made off with the money already while the female actors careers (or what passes for it) get destroyed.

they dont appreciate it in the first place, only care about fame and money

@AesculapiusPiranha the mandalorian is the most boring unimaginative monster-of-the-week show with the highest amount of filler episodes that i have watched since the X Files. id rather claw my eyes out while watching one of these woke shows than watch that disney toy commercial again

Wicker 2 yeah its a good question. imo it doesnt do much for anyone. am i supposed to identify with a character based on their skin color and sexual preferences or am i supposed to identify with them based on *character*? im pretty sure its the latter.

@philadelphiawhovian5641 they will say anything if they think it will make them more money. rich people dont believe in causes like womens emancipation. doesnt matter if you are a man or woman, if you are that rich you are already emancipated. its just theater, to keep people busy with these unimportant idological issues. while the rich are buying politicians and using tax loopholes to get ahead financially, millions of people are worrying about less important stuff. if the rich didnt constantly fund these nonsensical distractions, then people might start thinking about voting for a party that wants to close tax loopholes instead of voting for someone who wants to make all public toilets gender neutral. and that is why politics never gets anything done. have a nice day.

@whocaresguy the part about the diversity of populations doesnt fit the rest of your argument. in a diverse country the problem isnt that there are diverse groups of people, but that there are diverse socio-economic circumstances that are correlated to which ethnic group people are from. its easier to control those populations because its easy to play them out against each other based on these socio-economic differences that people relate automatically to ethnic differences, because there is a strong correlation between them. sunnis and shiites in iraq for example. kurds in turkey. non-white people in western europe. etc. with a group of writers, the problem is not that their ethnic group is correlated to their socio-economic group. the problem is that they are selected based on their appearances instead of based on their qualities.
