TDS asshole Robert Picardo: “Starfleet Academy” failed because “We see diversity under attack, and therefore Star Trek is under attack because that’s what Star Trek’s always been about.”
WRONG.
Star Trek has spent decades introducing hundreds of alien species, cultures, and civilizations - and by the franchise’s own 32nd-century count, Starfleet had encountered 4,633 sentient species.
But representation was never the ultimate point.
Star Trek used those characters to tell stories about courage, sacrifice, loyalty, moral conviction, and the strength of individuals who put duty above themselves.
And those are precisely the values “Starfleet Academy” failed to deliver.
Instead, SFA gave us GAY KLINGONS, LESBIAN & female empowerment, the diminishment of men, and open disdain for the franchise’s core audience.
THAT’S why it failed.
Star Trek isn’t under attack because representation is under attack.
It’s under attack because its creators chose to dishonor what made it worth watching.
It’s not rocket science, Bob.
Oh, but I guess in this case, maybe it is🤷♂️
