Jonathan Frakes, believes that negative reactions to Star Trek: Starfleet Academy are “dimensionally more painful” than those of Star Trek: The Next Generation.
Frakes, Picardo, etc can shill as hard as they like, but it doesn't change the fact that the show is simply bad cosplay with the STAR TREK name slapped on it...
Sorry Frakes and Picardo, and while we're at it, throw in woke Whoopee, Takei, Burton, Mulgrew and Wheaton, too. They can all take a dive into a black hole, for all I care, because nothing of value would be lost. You are actors. Nothing more. And your opinions matter not at all.
That's ridiculous. Apply that logic to anything and tell me it make sense? Tennis for those that don't like tennis? Theatre for those that don't like theatre? Carrot cake for those that don't like carrot cake?
It's just stupid. I hate carrot cake. Loath it. So what is carrot cake for someone like me that hates carrot cake? Chocolate cake, a totally different animal.
What is Star Trek for people that don't like Star Trek? Dawson's Creek. The Sopranos. Gay porn. That is Star Trek for those that don't like Star Trek. Something "other" than Star Trek.
There's "no way" these executives are this stupid, it's possible but not likely.
No. There's more to this. I think it's the "Squirrel Girl" theory. See, I'm a trained librarian. MLIS and most librarians are feminist, Communist and god-less.
For years they wanted to promote their agenda. So they promoted Squirrel Girl but no one read it; well they did, hated it and promptly checked out. They couldn't use it as successful agit-prop.
So they changed gears. They decided to co-opt existing franchises, infiltrate and corrupt them. Everyone loves Superman. So we'll just use Superman to promote our feminist Satanic agenda.
But how to do that?
Enter two pieces to the equation. Zombie corporations (in debt to such a degree they're continuing to exist but are effectively dead) and the CCP (Yep. China's Communist party).
I think this is that 4th-generation warfare in action. What does China have? Tons of useless US dollars (at least in China). Who needs dollars? Broke Colleges, Universities and Corporations.
So China gave them the money but got something in return; Communist infiltration of those institutions.
Enter the Fat F-blue haired, Satanic, Communist whale. Think Trigglypuff.
She/it get's hired in the writers room. Perverts the IP with THE MESSAGE, the Corp-os get paid (they worship money) and the Western audience gets demoralized.
Consume Product. Don't question. Just Consume. Move to next Product. Consume.
They sold their souls to Hollywood in order to be "something or someone important." But they realise they sold away everything they had that value (morals, ethics, values and principles) and ended up with Nothing but pointless consumerism and materialism. From broken homes to broken famies to broken kids. These "Famous people" are enternally empty and lost because they gave it all away from wealth and fame.
They're desperate to live in a state of denial about the trade of their soul they did for money and fame. They hate the fact nobody worships them anymore. They have NOTHING OF VALUE. They GAVE IT AWAY. They hate to be reminded of that. Hence just Consume Product, you plebs.
Don't feed the trolls? Paramount hands the 'trolls' a loaded weapon and then is surprised when the 'trolls' use it? 1. They make Critical Drinker more famous. The youtube bot smells blood in the water. 2. Then they try to tell Nerds what Nerd culture means. And Frakes is surprised by the viral backlash?
I don't mean to red bait, but DEI is quasi-Marxist, isn't it? "From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs." They are up front about that, especially on the academy front. They want to ban entrance exams. Ability doesn't matter. Star Trek reacted to a world where Willie Mays woud be backseated into the Negro Leagues. It countered by celebrating an Equal Opportunity ultra-meritocracy. Ability is all that matters. Uhura, Janeway, Kirk, and Sisko were first in their class at the Academy. Geordi was always correcting Professor Hawking until Hawking gave up and just let Geordi teach the class on transwarp conduits. That's not DEI, that's Elitism. Remember Spock's test in The Voyage Home? Elitism is the dominant and most delicious boner-inducing undercurrent of Star Trek.
Please don't misunderstand me. I'm not opposed to DEI. But I know Star Trek was never about DEI, kiddo.
Star Trek, especially Kirk Era, was flagrant Cold War red-bashing propaganda. The Klingons were the Evil Soviet Empire. We were better than they were. Whether we saw through the code or processed it subconsciously, we all absorbed it. So to try to retcon Trek Exceptionalism into DEI quasi-Marxism, yeah, that's going to trigger people.
I can't believe Jonathan Frakes doesn't know his show was coded Cold War jingoism. As an old man like me, he might not be aware that DEI is coded Marxism, so he's surprised.
Starfleet Academy actually is taking place at an immersive hotel in modern day Orlando. The cadets are guests and are living out their vague fantasies.

Every time that I see a picture of that new young Spock, I think it is just bad cosplay.
Nimoy was the only Spock...
“but it surprises me how aggressively ‘anti’ they are with each new iteration of the show.”
Yes. Truly a mystery! I wonder if it’s because each new iteration is progressively worse? 🤔

We're not "hiding", Frakes. We just hate your woke crap.
Oh pump the brakes, Frakes. Even you know it's propaganda garbage. Go reprogram Data so that he gives you endless blumpkins.
The new show has a pussy klingon, fatassed ugly aliens and a deliberately retarded negress hologram. FFS.
Star Trek for people who don’t like Star Trek...

Full Spectrum Warfare.
Welcome to WW3.
Trigglypuff, haha, a real center of holographic mass.
I wonder if SAM was really in the writing room or just remotely, given the likely irl distance.

Three random shots, I know I know. Will they collapse the the transwarp network or will they emerge from the fungal network?

"Tough little ship." - will they say it? Please, please have them say it :)
Star Fleet Academy is a hate letter to Star Trek and its fans. It's childish, denigrating to the human spirit and it's just bad. It stinks on ice.
Starfleet Academy actually is taking place at an immersive hotel in modern day Orlando. The cadets are guests and are living out their vague fantasies.
At least Next Generation was Star Trek. Academy isn't.
“And it continues to surprise me, and I try not to let it upset me,”...same here when all you bring to the table is woke slob
Damn you Frankes! You just had to open your woke mouth!
