No, please don’t call these people “fans.” They’re not fans, they’re racists who want to start shit. Real Star Trek fans have no issues with diversity. This is the SAME show that gave Nichelle Nichols the role of Uhura in an unprecedented show of social progress. This is the same show that featured one of the best, strongest female characters and captains of all time (Janeway), etc. Don’t call these ugly racists “fans,” because fans of Star Trek appreciate it almost ENTIRELY for its progressive imagining of a society with equality for all people, with a sense of community, with scientific progress, with a complete absence of capitalism, racism, and sexism.
Call a spade a spade: these are ugly white racists who don’t know shit about Star Trek.
Like, I don’t wanna hear a SINGLE PEEP from these racist, nationalist douchebags about my perfect Socialist-Utopian-Future-Humanity-With-Equality-For-All show.
They can SIT THE FUCK DOWN! Y’all ugly racists ruined this nation, but y’all ain’t fucking ruining Star Trek too!
Deep Space Nine starred a black man, a black child, a brown man, a bunch of aliens, and exactly one white man.
Voyager starred two white women, a native man, an Asian man, a half-Latina woman, some aliens, a hologram, and exactly one white man.
This was over 20 years ago. What franchise have they been watching?
Exactly!

what she says: im fine
what she means: in star trek: the motion picture, decker shows ilia a picture of vessels that had been named “enterprise”, one of which was a nasa shuttle. that particular nasa shuttle was named after the enterprise on star trek. furthermore, the beastie boys canonically exist in the reboot universe, because the song “sabotage” plays in both the 2009 movie “star trek” and in “beyond”. however, the beastie boys have another song, “intergalactic”, which mentions spock by name, not just once, but twice. in order for the “enterprise” shuttle and the song “intergalactic” to exist, star trek would have to exist, which means at least star trek: tos exists in the star trek universe. which begs the question: how much of starfleet is inspired by star trek? was humanity only inspired to form starfleet and give it its name as a tribute to the franchise? were phasers invented by trekkie scientists? (star trek has influenced inventors in the past; the mri was inspired by mccoy’s instruments in tos.) has this influence starfleet command’s decisions as well? was the enterprise named after the enterprise? was the crew assigned to it because they happened to have the same names as the tv characters, and some nerd at starfleet headquarters thought it would be funny? does the crew know how much of their lives are shaped by a 300-year-old tv show? does everything in the star trek universe owe it’s existence to star trek?
Based on Uhura and Chapel from Star Trek. I know a lot of people headcanon them as lesbians, but given that Chapel was engaged before joining the fleet and Uhura ended up marrying Scotty, I always think of them as bi, just preferring women. The colours in the art are based on the bi flag ❤
I occasionally think that I should just collect a masterpost of overtly political things that have happened in the Star Trek franchise and be prepared to throw it at the next person who tries to argue that Discovery or whatever shouldn’t be political.
And then I realize that I’d probably be on the hook for massive copyright infringement because (say it with me)
Star Trek
was
explicitly
and overtly
political
from the very beginning
and has never stopped.
It wasn’t always good–it was frequently hamhanded, corny, schmaltzy, and a whole grocery store of other food-related (and not food-related) adjectives–but it is far easier to remove quality from Star Trek than politics.

it was frequently hamhanded, corny, schmaltzy, and a whole grocery store of other food-related (and not food-related) adjectives – That’s the thing, Star Trek isn’t even the least bit subtle about its politics. Its metaphors and parallels are about as on-the-nose as you can get.
