I have to imagine a lot of this “I’m done with woke star trek” crap is perpetuated by bots and shills. Post histories on Reddit for accounts saying these right wing talking points were either days old in response to some new Trek show or episode, or years old accounts that haven’t posted in forever then suddenly posted a bunch of talking points in every thread they could find.
There were definitely legit accounts of people upset by new Trek for other reasons but far outnumbered by “anti wokester” puppet accounts. When it came to Twitter I wouldn’t bat a lash if one out of every hundred accounts were bots. After noticing their trends they get easier to spot. It’s the only thing that makes sense when the alternative is there are legions of trek fans that never noticed how progressive the shows were and suddenly decided to be angry in the past couple years.
There are real humans who have effectively been turned into “anti-woke” internet spammers who never watched Star Trek and are suddenly pretending to be very invested.
Just like all those man who thought women’s sports was a joke, but are suddenly incredibly personally invested in women’s sports whenever a trans women is involved.
“anti-woke” internet spammers
And the funny thing is when you ask them what, according to them, woke means they’re either stumped or you get an incoherent answer.
When that happens, just remind them that the opposite of woke is comatose, and ask if they prefer being a vegetable.
