Star Trek takes PC to new extremes, even for Hollywood

americanthinker.com ^ | 1/17/2018 | Ed Straker

[rktman]

Those of you (most of you) who haven't been watching the new Star Trek series, Star Trek Discovery, are missing out on a entirely new level of political correctness. The show features a black female protagonist named Michael; her boyfriend, a Klingon disguised as a Muslim-Arab security officer; an obese female cadet who is a genius in all areas of science; and a gay couple, one of whom is black and possibly also hispanic.

But that isn't enough for SJWs. They actually worry that the black gay character, who is also hispanic, is not visibly hispanic.

[PLMerite]

Yes. I’ve always had a crush on her, but I hear she’s “difficult” to work with, if you get my drift.

[Radix]

There are no Muzzies in the 23rd century.

These people are trying to rewrite future history.

[Radix]

That was funny, but not logical.

[fieldmarshaldj]

Nope, that’s Suzie Plakson.

[fieldmarshaldj]

Seen this ? I remember Wilson Cruz from Claire Danes’s ‘90s series, “My So-Called Life” as her flaming fag high school buddy. He’s been a radical homo activist ever since. Hiring this guy proves this isn’t entertainment, but blatant homofascist propaganda. Roddenberry would’ve been disgusted what they’ve done to his creation.

[Impy]

This article reads as whining exaggeration meant to piss people off. The show has it's faults and naturally a bit of the PC, but give me a break. It took a while to find it's stride (as did TNG) but I like where it's going. It's certainly better than the NuMovies.

I don't like that the chick is named "Micheal" that's a fetish of the producer who gives all his female protagonists dude's names. It's not worst name though, reminds me of Miss Michael Learned. She's Black, so what? I don't love her but she's not a terrible character.

The Klingon deep cover agent may be played by a Pakistani Brit (not "Arab" and so what? I didn't even notice till I saw his name) but the character is named ASH TYLER, real "Muslim" name eh? There is no Islam, only nutty Klingon religion. Actor does not equal character. The Klingon makeup (which I don't like) is so heavy I had no inkling it was same actor playing him in Klingon form.

Of course I didn't care for there being a fag couple but it was to be expected, I'm surprised 2001 Enterprise didn't go there. I actually don't mind Wilson Cruz's character (spoiler alert: he's dead Jim, it's whathisname, the dude Spacey tried to screw, that's who I can't stand. I never once noticed Cruz being in a "tight" uniform that "leaves nothing to the imagination", if the author is dwelling on that well.....The character is named Hugh Culber, I never once wondered if he's supposed to be blacktino and neither has anyone on the show. Torres, the half-Klingon chick from Voyager was ostensibly Latina, Latina Klingon, talk about shark jumping. I don't recall her "acting White", she was mostly just a *itch. I don't know what people the author is citing that allegedly care/complain about this, nor do I care what they think or say or see what it has to do with me.

The chubby cadet is an ok character and is not "a genius at every type of science".

Roddenberry's vision was a world of perfect humans and no conflict, good luck making a show about that (TNG season 1, would have been swiftly cancelled if that had continued), he did almost as much harm to his own creation as George Lucas did to his, the man was a pinko wasn't he? If I were his shade I'd be much more pissed off at the NuMovies and Voyager and Enterprise mostly wasting their good premises than this.

An aside, waiting for the bus today there there a couple of Hispanic dealers talking about their corner and cops "popping" them, and then this Black fairy pranced up, he made Wilson Cruz look like John Wayne. I waited for the next one.

I almost did a coffee spit take on your 'naturally a bit of the PC' statement-- That's like saying Al Sharpton has a bit of Liberal.

However, Imp, since I express my opinions starting back in May in my ' 'Star Trek: Discovery': Decoding the 1st Trailer of Trek's New Chapter' thread that finally had me canceling my CBS Access account just after the series premiered, it is a mute point for me.

Yet it pains me some to find it even minimally acceptable to a conservative such as yourself, but I will fight to the death for your right to discuss, view and even enjoy it.

[prophetic]

Voyager was so bad that the best episodes were those of Captain Janeway about to die.

When that didn't work they trotted out the failsafe Sex angle and had vuloptous female Borg 7 of 9 and her ample bullet chested boobs save the day for the series.

As for that pathetic Neelix character I think he portends what the American teenage male now looks & behave like now. I would have just love if someone just kicked him out of the nearest airlock! That alone would have boosted it's ratings.

[prophetic]

You forget that since liberals today say that there are 64 genders, thus in 300 years time do you think it will be any less or even less confusing for that matter? Imagine how other space races will be so confused about the human race then? They won’t even dare to want to pick a fight or war with the humans as they would see humans a just a little bit less than the devil himself!

[prophetic]

So thus the correct name for this new trek series should be Star Trek: Discovering The Next Perversions

[Cletus.D.Yokel]

The Dancing Machine?

[beachn4fun]

We are being bombarded in all forms. Almost every show on television has to have a gay couple. IMO, it seems to be mostly men, so is this a concerted effort by “men love boys” group working to desensitize us? To me, it’s another example of the media trying to control us and how we think.

[Elsie]

THIS Klingon chick could molest me all she wanted:

you MAY want to re-think that...

[Elsie]

Let’s turn this over to our resident expert: Lazamataz

[Elsie]

Roddenberry would’ve been disgusted what they’ve done to his creation.

GOD ain't too happy about His; either...

Genesis 13:13

Now the men of Sodom were wicked and were sinning greatly against the LORD.

Genesis 18:20-21
20. Then the LORD said, "The outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is so great and their sin so grievous
21. that I will go down and see if what they have done is as bad as the outcry that has reached me. If not, I will know."

Genesis 19:4-7
4. Before they had gone to bed, all the men from every part of the city of Sodom--both young and old--surrounded the house.
5. They called to Lot, "Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us so that we can have sex with them."
6. Lot went outside to meet them and shut the door behind him
7. and said, "No, my friends. Don't do this wicked thing.

Leviticus niv

18:22 Do not have sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman; that is detestable.

20:13 If a man has sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They are to be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads.

Psalms 12:8 The wicked freely strut about when what is vile is honored among men.

Isaiah 3:9 The look on their faces testifies against them; they parade their sin like Sodom; they do not hide it. Woe to them! They have brought disaster upon themselves.

2 Peter 2:13b Their idea of pleasure is to carouse in broad daylight. They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their pleasures while they feast with you.

Ezekiel 16:49-50
49. "`Now this was the sin of your sister Sodom: She and her daughters were arrogant, overfed and unconcerned; they did not help the poor and needy.
50. They were haughty and did detestable things before me. Therefore I did away with them as you have seen.

Romans 1     New American Bible (Revised Edition) (NABRE)

 

 18 The wrath of God is indeed being revealed from heaven against every impiety and wickedness of those who suppress the truth by their wickedness. 19 For what can be known about God is evident to them, because God made it evident to them. 20 Ever since the creation of the world, his invisible attributes of eternal power and divinity have been able to be understood and perceived in what he has made. As a result, they have no excuse; 21 for although they knew God they did not accord him glory as God or give him thanks. Instead, they became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless minds were darkened. 22 While claiming to be wise, they became fools 23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for the likeness of an image of mortal man or of birds or of four-legged animals or of snakes.

 

24 Therefore, God handed them over to impurity through the lusts of their hearts for the mutual degradation of their bodies. 25 They exchanged the truth of God for a lie and revered and worshiped the creature rather than the creator, who is blessed forever. Amen. 26 Therefore, God handed them over to degrading passions. Their females exchanged natural relations for unnatural, 27 and the males likewise gave up natural relations with females and burned with lust for one another. Males did shameful things with males and thus received in their own persons the due penalty for their perversity. 28 And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God handed them over to their undiscerning mind to do what is improper. 29 They are filled with every form of wickedness, evil, greed, and malice; full of envy, murder, rivalry, treachery, and spite.

2 Peter 2

1. But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them--bringing swift destruction on themselves.
2. Many will follow their shameful ways and will bring the way of truth into disrepute.
3. In their greed these teachers will exploit you with stories they have made up. Their condemnation has long been hanging over them, and their destruction has not been sleeping.
4. For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but sent them to hell, putting them into gloomy dungeons to be held for judgment;
5. if he did not spare the ancient world when he brought the flood on its ungodly people, but protected Noah, a preacher of righteousness, and seven others;
6. if he condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah by burning them to ashes, and made them an example of what is going to happen to the ungodly;
7. and if he rescued Lot, a righteous man, who was distressed by the filthy lives of lawless men
8. (for that righteous man, living among them day after day, was tormented in his righteous soul by the lawless deeds he saw and heard)--
9. if this is so, then the Lord knows how to rescue godly men from trials and to hold the unrighteous for the day of judgment, while continuing their punishment.
10. This is especially true of those who follow the corrupt desire of the sinful nature and despise authority. Bold and arrogant, these men are not afraid to slander celestial beings;
11. yet even angels, although they are stronger and more powerful, do not bring slanderous accusations against such beings in the presence of the Lord.
12. But these men blaspheme in matters they do not understand. They are like brute beasts, creatures of instinct, born only to be caught and destroyed, and like beasts they too will perish.
13. They will be paid back with harm for the harm they have done. Their idea of pleasure is to carouse in broad daylight. They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their pleasures while they feast with you.

But there IS hope!!!

1 Corinthians 6:9-11

9. Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived:
Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders
10. nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.
11. And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.

The Health Risks of gay sex.

[big'ol_freeper]

I watched the first episode and promptly cancelled my All Access subscription too. Not boycotting just not interested. Frankly, except for some of the movies, nothing Star Trek has been Star Trek since the 1960s.

[Elsie]

I never once noticed Cruz being in a "tight" uniform that "leaves nothing to the imagination",

Move along smartly now; nothing to see here...

[fieldmarshaldj]

I surrender.

[mairdie]

>>but I will fight to the death for your right to discuss, view and even enjoy it

Now THAT is what I call a REAL conservative!

Given your username, I hope you found my Christmas carol for mixed fandoms including Futurama, “Here Comes Santa Claus.” LOVED that show.

Re: Now THAT is what I call a REAL conservative!

Gadzooks, thanks so much, mardie-- BUT tell that to all those NFL hater trolls here on FR who make every NFL PICK THREAD a death sentence for me and Impy!
