Star Trek Picard

Takes the character seven (of nine) and just scrambles everything about her to the point where she doesn't resemble her own character that she played 20 years prior

Amongst the changes they made was that hthe character was suddenly gay, even though in three years of shows she has basically been straight.

Now let me be real clear: I have zero problems with her being gay, perse, this is star Trek and Star Trek fans aren't transphobic or any phobic or they wouldn't be fans of the show, watching each time how you should think about treating your favorite enemy better.

I have a problem with it being abused from here to hell and back again by shit shows and movies to try and hope that the audience won't notice that the writers were the fucking worst

And this isn't just me, basically any time I see someone pissed about a gay character, it's because of that

The writers were too lazy to write a new gay character, so let's just take an existing one, must be pretty enough, check, so now we make her gay and just recon that it was always like that and we're just misremembering

The writers also have no talent so instead of using a fat character for some moral dilemma, well just have them make out on screen, so much simpler.

And of course once people have legit criticism, you just start a nice Twitter campaign where you call them *phobe, anything better than actually delivering a quality product.

God, modern Star trek is baaaaddd

I'm telling you all this (and hopefully you read it) because I know that most people really aren't that bad once you stop screaming and blocking and instead try to have a normal conversation. Once you do that you find out that you're mostly thinking the same.

I'm LGBT+, I'll support almost anything left, that's why I'm on Lemmy too, I just want good movies
