That is a product of the change in television style and nothing else. These are the same stories being told just through a slightly different lens. Still progressive. Still pushes for equality. Still does all the things that you claimed. The only difference is that this time it isn’t screaming at the top of its lungs and shove it down your throat thinking that you are going to be incapable of being able to pick it up on your own. Thing that baffles me is that so many people aren’t able to pick it up on their own. They do, apparently, need it screamed at the top of their lungs with a really hacky speech.
It’s not a product of conservatives. It’s a product of the evolution of television.
Everything people want from Star Trek is still there and still being screamed just in a slightly different accent. But calling old Star Trek subtle is one of the funniest things that I’ve ever fucking heard. Mainly because it’s the dead opposite of what’s actually happening. New Star Trek is subtle. Old Star Trek wasn’t. New Star Trek is able to be subtle by telling a story over the course of an entire season and having each episode focus on a different part. Old Star Trek had the entire moral, entire story and everything wrapped up into 45 minutes. That immediately means that you cannot be subtle because you have to make it as obvious as humanly possible so that you can get the point across in 45 minutes. But saying that the half-white, half-black people and the half-black, half-white people are somehow a subtle representation of the racist things happening in the 60s is ridiculous.
