Watched the first two episodes of 'Lower Decks'.
You're supposed to 'rock out' with the death metal loving 'black female lead', while laughing at the danger-hair beta male. The subtext is so obviously woke that I fail to see why some of you tried to give this a pass. Perhaps it will get better later on, but you'll have to suffer through all the 'I got this' college/social media female humor throughout.
The Joss Whedon quippy writing, the uber-competent females, the obnoxious black female captain, the obnoxious black female lead, and the less than impressive male side characters.
This show is also part of the hostile take over of the Star Trek franchise by left-liberal feminist writers.
This is so very true for an incomprehensible amount of people out there.
Every time I attempt to bring up the incongruity and nonsensical framing of various events in modern media, people will literally respond with "it's just fiction", and yes, dismiss anyone taking the plotholes and irreverence seriously enough to point them out as detractors.
Thankfully, there have been some people who will chime in to point out the dissonance of the normie-tier reasoning because they'll rightly ask, "If it's fiction, then why not have teleporting fire-breathing zombie dinosaurs attack everyone?' at that point the conversation goes off the rails, but yes, way too many people have been dulled into accepting corpo-slop as the standard and turning their brains off so they don't have to think critically.
It's essentially Idiocracy in real life.
