My opinion: these hosts have to be so polarized on every opinion that they have to choose a side. Star Trek or Star Wars, she claims to not endorse Star Wars since it’s too “buzzword” and now has to identify as the opposite, despite having no knowledge or affection for the Star Trek franchise. I don’t know if it’s just the screenshot where she’s doing the hand signal backwards, but that’s about the most basic layman Star Trek cultural identifier out there. So of course she doesn’t know they have had non and third gendered species since TOS & Enterprise, along with a myriad of other issues addressed that she would get fired from that channel if she even reported on them as options.
TOS had the first interracial kiss between a white person and a black person on U.S. TV. It also shows a socialist utopia where men and women of all races are equal, indigenous cultures are respected, and they try to talk out a hostile situation before they resort to firing their weapons whenever they can.
Fox News should absolutely loathe that.
TNG basically had Riker fuck an alien trans woman in 1992.
Any trekkie who complains about Trek being too woke, is either a moron, or not an actual fan.
DS9 had Jadzia kiss another trill whose host happened to be a woman. TOS had the first televised interracial kiss. ENT had a pregnant Trip Tucker. Trek has always been woke.
And, of course, Discovery has Stamets and Culber, plus their adopted nonbinary child.
I'm pretty sure Mariner's up for anything.
Mariner is definitely down for anything. She’s dating the andorian Jennifer in a few episodes and she also went on a date with Steve Levy the conspiracy guy. She also dated an Anabaj to annoy her mom so…yeah.
She even says this in one episode (the Tom Paris one):
“Oh I’m always dating bad boys, bad girls, bad gender non-binary babes, ruthless alien masterminds, and bad Bynars.”
I like that she had to classify Bynars separately from non-binary people.
She wants to be a throuple. No judgement here.
Is it though? They're Bynars so it's linguistically complex
now I'm even more mad my wife won't let me watch discovery
First televised interracial kiss in the US. I believe there was a televised interracial kiss on UK TV a decade earlier.
