It's really woke

[+Tooterfish]

8 seconds into the intro and spider-senses woman with a weird nose is already setting the patriarchy straight. Thanks for the demo, weirdo's.

You must be new to the Star Trek universe 😆

I have played a few minutes of the demo and didn't get any sense of woke content. All interactions are what you choose them to be, so if you want to choose the obnoxious choices that make the character unlikable, that's your call.

BTW, I hate the nauseating virtue signaling woke content in games and movies with a passion and this aint it. Just saying.

If you think Star Trek was woke, you didn't watch enough episodes. Sure, it had moments of progressive content, but it was never in your face. In fact, there is more than one episode in all of the true Trek series (everything pre-JJ Verse/Discovery) that promoted religious values, American liberty, and overall western values. But more than anything, Star Trek was always a sci fi adventure series. New Trek sucks on every level and this game is a breath of fresh air from what I have seen so far.

Clearly you never seen Deep Space 9 there is a trans klingon in 1 ep. Bashir and Garak are also gay but the politics of the time made them unable to write it explicitly.

Star Trek has been woke since it featured the first interracial kiss on TV in 1968... What rock have you been living under since before then?

[Felix Krowe]

To the shivering, terrified OP - Please don't procreate. Probably not going to be a problem for you, since you are afraid of women, but still - the advice stands.

[NoOne]

Not woke enough, first officer isn't a partially sighted being of diminutive stature [huzzah]

[ElokoMs]

Problem with new Trek, and almost every new Hollywood series and movie, is the forced political message, e. q. strong woman as main protagonist and in every leadership position.
Old Trek was subtle social criticism, lessons and wisdom of life.

[miguel~]

Subtle? Dude Old Trek had interracial kissing.

it's hilarious how ppl show themsleves off that they neither have any idea of Star Trek nor about life itself. If i have some spare time, I'll feel pity for such ... backward beeings.

There was only one woke thing I found in the game where you could select "diversity is our strength", but you get 2 other options, I picked unity, instead of the cringe woke... Did not see any other woke stuff, but did get to blow up a federation star ship that was crippled and kill my crew by cutting off oxygen. So not sure you can call this a friendly game of woke only considering you can kill off anyone you don't like.

What's with these tourists trying to claim our franchises as their own? WH, Star Wars, now Star Trek?

Federation's whole idea is that it's a large collection of worlds and species, working together for better future.

Here's a quote from creator of Star Trek:

“Star Trek was an attempt to say that humanity will reach maturity and wisdom on the day that it begins not just to tolerate, but take a special delight in differences in ideas and differences in life forms. […] If we cannot learn to actually enjoy those small differences, to take a positive delight in those small differences between our own kind, here on this planet, then we do not deserve to go out into space and meet the diversity that is almost certainly out there.”
― Gene Roddenberry

Do you know there is an appropriate term for such an concept? Utopia. Remember that, and use it.

That sound wonderful. Unfortunately the left has taken woke to a radical position of hating anyone that doesn't prescribe to their point of view. If you are Christian, for example, you are ridiculed and called a bigot for your beliefs. If you are a white male, for example, you are told you are "privileged" and a bigot just for being your gender and race with no consideration being considered for your personal circumstances. Doesn't sound very "tolerant" or accepting of true diversity does it?

Star Trek as envisioned by Gene Roddenberry was progressive but never woke by today's standard. Period.

Game feels and tastes like "Old Trek" to me. The Star Trek I'm used to: it's quite progessive but doesn't feel heavy handed or like "shoving down the throat".

"Progressive" doesn't mean "aggressively promote somone's interests on expense of everyone else". In fact, I consider "woke" as the polar opposite to "progression". It's just the same ol' sh*t, just reversed: people hate other people because they're different.
