    Trek's utopian future is about diversity, equality and inclusion. Gene Roddenberry fought to have a diverse cast when most TV series were white-only.
    Their society is post-Capitalism money-free, cooperation, pro-Liberal viewpoint, brotherhood, and other humanist values.

      If thats true, then why did Captain Kirk fire all the women on the bridge except for Uhura and make the women wear short skirts?

        Men wore miniskirts:

        Kirk was a womanizer, therefore women didn't want to work with him on the Bridge. Didn't you notice how Kirk would leer at Rand when she came to the Bridge to have him sign something?
        The only woman crewmember who could tolerate working with Kirk was Uhura. I'm pretty sure at one point she kicked him in the nuts which explains why he kept his distance around her.

          That dude was a gay retard. Luckily he was taken by the Borg and rehabilitated.
          If I was Kirk I would have kept all the women from Pikes crew. And would have turned Ortegas straight and got rid of the butch haircut.
          Uhura was a freak in bed which is why Kirk tried to avoid her. But he fell in the dark snatch a few times and couldnt get out.

            Nevertheless, I proved Star Trek is supposed to be woke and destroyed your pitiful rebuttal.
            Btw, I still don't believe it's Stonekeeper who appears to be a lefty or at least neutral. That new moderator is MAGA and is repeatedly defending Trump and pro-MAGA retarded nonsense. She only stopped racist slurs AFTER many MCers complained.

              Star Trek wasnt woke until Strange New Worlds.
              Stonekeeper was just my theory. Its weird that no one knows who the mod is.
              The new mod is also banning people for no reason. Which is why I am here as well as others. Mod4 ruined the site with her "free speech" rule.
              I doubt the new mod is MAGA as I found this:
              [–] Moderator7 (114) 2 days ago
              These are the wishes of Jim the site owner. He does not want to see the site getting shut down because of litigation.
              This is his site and you are his guest. Is it too much trouble to ask you to respect his wishes?
              I bet there was a lot of people reporting the site for allowing death threats against Trump and now Jim is scared his democrat echo chamber will get shut down. Also the web traffic is down and Jim is losing money on ads.

                Star Trek was always "woke". The first pilot had a woman as second-in-command and an intellectual captain. Both were ditched as being too progressive at the time. Gene reintroduced the former in TNG with Picard.
                The fully diverse cast was radical in the segregated 60s. Gene fought to have a black crewmember on the Bridge.
                The anti-Capitalist viewpoint is also radical. And listen to the social commentary throughout the show which has a strong leftwing slant.
                Gene Roddenberry was a leftwing Democrat with strong humanist. You're just not paying attention to the messaging of the show.

                  There are fewer MC viewers because she is driving them away. The huge loss came around the same time she started as a moderator. Meanwhile, this site is thriving. Another turnoff has been all of their annoying pop-up ads.
                  I totally agree with you about her bans for no reason, but there are also inconsistent bans, warnings and constant threats which feel too much like censorship and harassment.
                  The following is something MAGA would say: "democrat echo chamber". And that's nonsense when there are plenty or even more MAGA posters.
                  Also "allowing death threats against Trump" is more BS. I've never seen them. If you have, please link.
                  Both quotes sound like she was attempting to identify with you as a fellow right-winger. Just out of curiosity, why were you banned?
                  I've seen both right and left-wingers banned. But, she leans right because she defends Trump and MAGA and was obviously attempting to identify with you. How come "lawsuits" only became an issue when she arrived?

                    The problem is inconsistent moderation and a absentee site owner. Jim didnt care what happened to his site for 9 years and now all of sudden he is scared it will get shut down. Makes no sense.
                    There are lots of racist and hate posts against Trump. You can search the site for yourself.
                    I was accused by mod7 for having multiple accounts and then I was banned because I had another account that I made 7 years ago when Mod3 was banning everyone for posting on the Trump boards. My Bubba account mysteriously stopped working for about 6 months. I never received any messages and I couldn't contact anyone because it was disabled. Mod7 got mad because I wouldnt tell him or her what the account was. It also didnt help that Semianimus and I were mocking the movie chat club. I guess they took it personal.
                    The "lawsuits" only became an issue because people were probably reporting the hate speech against Trump to Homeland Security. You cant make posts about wanting a President to die and it not to become an issue.
                    90% of the web traffic is just people whining about Trump. I hope the site shuts down because its pointless posting there anymore.

                      It might not be Jim. Mod 7 may be a liar and a bit nuts. She creates flimsy excuses for banning posters whom she personally doesn’t like for whatever reason. I really believe she's the issue and I agree with you 100% about inconsistent moderation. She's on a power trip.
                      I'm not talking about general anti-Trump posts which is a part of free speech. You specifically mentioned death threats against him which I don't believe are posted. I have never seen any against him or any politician and that would cross the line and get you a visit from the FBI.
                      Was Semianimus also banned? Mocking the movie club is a dumb reason to ban anyone. She appears to have a list of people she wants to ban. I'm sure I'm on her list, too.
                      I've been posting for 8 years with no problem from the moderators. Mod 7 PMs so much over every little thing in which others are allowed to write that I consider it harassment and personal. It's amusing how many former MCers I recognize here.

                        "inconsistent moderation"
                        I see more of the above BS today. In General:
                        BKB
                        Liberal Judges will never go for the death penalty. It's like they're trying to phase this out for whatever reason."
                        Clearly political and anti-liberal.
                        Another poster mentions Epstein in the same topic and his account was deleted.

                          you can have a diverse cast without trying to push racist politics on kids or engage in moral grandstanding
                          you can also have a non-diverse cast with woke garbage
                          the thing about wokies is that you can't tell the difference because you're racist. you think diverse = woke and not diverse = racist. kys!

                            Not in 1960s America when 99% of series were all-white!!! What Gene did by having a diverse cast was completely radical.
                            There was plenty of moral grandstanding and racial moralizing and politics in the original Star Trek. Did you watch the original series?

                              it wasn't that radical. 90% of the cast was white.
                              and they had a magic negro which is considered pretty racist
                              but the fact is they were able to have a more diverse cast without moral grandstanding, and that's why people didn't mind it
                              remove the moral grandstanding and people don't care about the skin color of the cast. except for racist woketards like you.

                                Listen to last names, too! They had Hispanic crewmembers. And a Russian crewmember on the bridge during the Cold War is very radical, too. Also, Asian actors.
                                Gene had to fight for a diverse cast. I don't believe they wanted a black man on the Bridge, so Gene insisted on a black woman.

                                  it's not woke. it doesn't preach morals. in fact there's a never ending supply of moral grey areas in old star trek and that's what makes any good sci-fi worth watching.
                                  woke doesn't do grey areas. woketards have decided what is morally allowed and anything else is unforgiveable.

                                      no it doesn't. at no point do they preach morals to the viewer. they describe a situation where you might assume racism has caused a major conflict, but they don't explicitly say that. the enterprise does not make a judgement and doesn't assume either is morally correct or not correct. that decision is left up to the viewer.

                                        Your willful ignorance isn't an attractive trait. Be better!

                                          nope. I already destroyed your argument and it was easy.
