There are some members of Hollywood completely out of touch with reality.  Especially for those who know nothing about a franchise.

I guess you don't remember the unisex dresses in season 1 of TNG.

That was quashed immediately due to the conservative Reagan-era censors.  That's applying 1980s standards on a fictional future society.

It always has. Did you really think that "boldly going" only meant space exploration?

haha nope.

Do you always just assume anyone that isn't paranoid about and upset by portrayals of minorities in fiction is one of the minorities themselves?

Definitely looks bad, I'll give you that. But it has nothing to do with it's messaging.

But I'm definitely not the target audience for a teen drama, Star Trek, or otherwise. So I just won't watch it and probably forget it even exists before too long.
