Star Trek: Starfleet Academy

A woke series made to provoke. Why?

Everyone knows it’s woke, they don’t even try to hide it. In fact, when the showrunner was asked “...what are you excited to share the fans?”, she literally said: “I am excited for the fans to dissect absolutely everything that they hate.”

So here we have a new step in the evolution of woke culture. Nothing that should really surprise anyone, considering everything that’s been going on lately.

The point is that this show is deliberately and maliciously made to destroy an already existing universe that used to be narratively solid (and, to be fair, it’s been getting wrecked for several series now). This isn’t just woke or even super woke → this is direct, in-your-face provocation. It’s the evolution of a movement that refuses to die.

The real question is:
Why are they doing this?

And the answer is simple, though not very transparent. They want to distract. They want to signal that they still exist. They’re dying, and just like the desperate shouting they do at street protests to get attention, they’re now doing the same thing with every series they put out.

The good news is that the numbers are not on their side. it’s been reported all over the world that a toy sitting on a chair (a Spock action figure), put there by the YouTuber Nerdrotic, got more views and more success than one of their episodes

And sooner or later, this is going to have to be investigated as money laundering.
