The anti-woke backlash has, if nothing, exposed a bunch of absolute numpties for what they are; all these people getting uptight about Doctor Who treating trans people like normal human beings and so forth, well, clearly they’ve never watched the fucking thing or they’d have known the show’s generally progressive tendencies over the decades. This is how I know Emily Compagno here knows bugger all about Star Trek (quite apart from getting the Vulcan salute wrong); Fox were malding about the next Star Wars film having a female director, and she said that’s why she watches Star Trek instead. You know, Star Trek, that un-woke, un-feminist TV franchise. The one whose original series admittedly had no female directors but did have a number of female writers including D.C. Fontana, some of whose episodes are among the best of the series; meanwhile, Next Gen did bring at least one female director on board (who did a bunch of episodes on that, plus some on DS9 and Voyager), and the more recent iterations of Trek have had even more female directors, like Hanelle Culpepper who’s not only female but BLACK. Political correctness gone mad, obviously. To say nothing of the multi-ethnic and multi-gender casting of the show, and the fact that Number One in “The Cage”—you know, the very first produced episode of the show—Number One, second only to the ship’s captain, was female. Emily, I’m not even a Trekkie and I know all this, which is more than I suspect you do. Fucking clown. No wonder you’re on Fox, a REAL network would never have hired you…
EDIT (a few hours later): And if you won’t hear it from me, hear it from someone who REALLY knows what he’s talking about:
