I'm going to preempt what my powers of prognostication see coming, but if you come into this thread bitching about too much diversity in Star Trek, you're in the wrong community.
And the wrong fandom! Star Trek has always been about diversity and inclusion
Star Trek become woke on Sept 8, 1966.

On the day that The first episode aired, lol.
Exactly.
I had to have this conversation with. Repub relative. They love Star Trek. They’re rewatching DS9, again, right now.
Announces to me that they won’t be watching Discovery because it’s fallen to the “woke” agenda. To be fair, I’ve only seen season 1 (access issue), but I immediately had to laugh at them. Woke is Star Trek, Star Trek is woke, since TOS. Just what do you think you’ve been watching all these years?
They said something about Stacey Abrams being on it. My voiced thought was and how do you feel about the entire (hyperbole) cast of Roots (the original) being dispersed throughout Star Trek? Do we need to talk about Captain Sisko, or Commander Geordi La Forge? And Takai has said Roddenberry knew he was gay, kind of a big deal back then. I could go on, as you well know.
It’s just a bizarre take from someone into Star Trek their whole lives.
It's also fun when they complain about a TV show which, in the 1960s, tackled subjects like Vietnam, the cold war, racism and fundamentalist religious beliefs being too political these days.
Has that been a problem in this community?
That would be disappointing
More than once, unfortunately.
I'm a K'Ehleyr simp so i'll always upvote women that can kick my ass.
Even Quark was into it.
Plus Kira and that Cardassian professor! I hate to admit it, but Quark has good taste

If you swap "girl" for "Klingon" this is 100% something a Klingon would say - probably Worf after facing another bout of "YoU wErE rAiSeD bY hUmAnS uR nOt A tRuE kLiNgOn"
The only problem with this meme is that Gowron is a bit of a schemer.
Really should have been Worf or Martok.
But that's sort of his phrase.
For those who were out of the loop like me:
*medal
?
Though technically it's also a metal?
Don’t meddle with the mettle testing medal’s metal…
After so many years of covid, this image makes me uncomfortable. I hope they sterilized that beforehand.
