Social Media Post:
Star Trek fans have held the national stereotype of being way too rabid about things for decades but they’re probably the nicest fan base in all of science fiction and the one least likely to have a large faction of them absolutely lose it over a torpedo being fired by a woman or dumb shit like that

That seems like an awfully judgmental rant, for a thread about how nice Star Trek fans are.
Your comment makes me wonder if you read any of it at all.
Pre 2000 trek is awesome, wholesome, makes you think. It wasn’t just inclusive, it made you think about why inclusivity is good. It hasd graat stories and great entertainment to keep you in. It had designs that made you feel like you could really live there.
New trek is “WE HAVE A GAY COUPLE AT THE SHOW LOOK AT US!” Whilst the stories, characters , and designs are beyond horrid. Canon is toilet paper in that you wipe your behind with it.
But if anyone points this out, you get your comments at best, or at worst you get immediately banned, made out to be a nazi, sexist or more of that sort of fun.
Im sure Picard would have a word or two to say about virtue signalling, but current trek fans don’t really seem to care much.
