This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

nutrek is "woke" in the most boring way possible. It doesn't attempt to challenge the viewer at all. It's all vague reassurances that go "Oh yes! Aren't you so very moral? People should have rights! Have a dog treat for being so smart!" You know what I wanna see? How about some postgenderism. Have a society in which binary and nonbinary are both REgressive.
What about an alien race that sees identity as a form of oppression? If identity is used as a way to gauge what someone is and is not allowed to do, is that system restrictive or freeing?
Come on, Star Trek! Give something I can sink my teeth into. I'm starving for something that questions me, that I can actually think about.
This is exactly what I have brought up so many times. I shit on academy for being lowest common denominator shitty writing and people bring out the pitch forks as if I am gay bashing. No, I'm shitty writing bashing, they just wrapped it up in a pride flag.
Remember when DS9 brought in lgbt+ identity discussion through thought provoking situations with deep characters making hard choices that were influenced by their lgbt+ backgrounds or morals?
Now we have- He is so conflicted because he is a peaceful klingon. Life is so hard in our utopia. By the way, did I mention he was gay?
I watch star trek for its deep politics and nuanced pushing of boundaries, not to preach to the choir with a mallet.
