This is literally the least diverse trek since the original series

it's a fucking nu-trek reboot that's even worse than jj's nu-trek reboot

>>85597703

I wouldn't be so mad about the blatant forced diversity if they actually hired a decent actress.

>>85597703
literally any time a non-white person is in an important role in anything people here will call it "forced"

>>85598029
That wasn't forced though. It was just natural.

>>85597703
Special pol snowflake getting triggered by star trek. Every fucking time.

>>85598253
It wasn't forced because the retarded pol mindset wasn't around back then.

How the fuck can you get upset by the racial make up of the Star Trek crew? Jesus Chirist you yank nazis are babies.

/pol/ mindset wasn't around back then because current day SJW's weren't around back then. In current day roles for white men in Trek are effeminate faggot, villain and alien.

>implying star trek was anything ever but forced diversity but SJW

>>85598648
SJWs were always there, otherwise trek would've never been made

Social Justice and modern day progressivism is the literal antithesis of 60s progressive attitudes.

Back then the message was everyone was equal and everyone should be judged on their merits and ability. Now progressives demand that the very first thing you take into account about a person is their race, then sex, then orientation, then religion, then any disabilities, then apply a bunch of victim labels to that person, and assort them in a victimhood heirarchy. Next they demand that all cultures be kept separate and never mingled to preserve cultural purity and prevent "appropriation". Finally, they are actually demanding resegregation of colleges, which will likely spread to businesses and other places.

Modern day progressivism is an exacting parallel of 50s white supremacy, and it is an absolutely abhorrent ideology.

why is everything about race nowadays, I really miss movies from the 70s to 90s where black or asian characters just were this, characters
when you discuss them you basically never address their race, instead you make memes about the bonus situation or whatever, but not start an autistic screeching contest

>Crying about diversity in a Star Trek show

>>85598883
Yeah, back then it was about equality
then the retarded /pol/ mindset pushed minorities to their limits while white people claimed that everything is fine and there's total equality now when that was simply not the case, that resulted in ferguson and BLM. And since then, every minority followed suit asking for Equity, not Equality, thus now both sides are concentrated on creating divide, since mixing everyone together didn't work so well last time.

>>85597703
holy fuck the SJWs have gone too far this time

>>85598896
it's all because of /pol/ and trump, if not for them, we would be living on a socialist utopian deep space station by now

>>85598965
I would like to blame pol but it's not just them, there's also a lot of positive "racism" for the lack of a better word in popular media
you can't introduce a character without SJWs go hurr beautiful strong black man/woman, americans always construct a cultural identity around the skin color nowadays, whether it's a good or bad one

just like when black americans talk about "black culture" and include africa eventhough they have nothing in common except skin color, but even that not to the same degree

>FORCED DIVERSITY
Can this meme die?

>>85599273
Its not that people hate diversity or anything. Its that lately pretty much everything that does have diversity is the forced and cringey kind. The old Star Trek shows, even going back to the original, were all about people from different backgrounds and even different planets working together to see what's out there. But those shows were written by good writers. If you were to ask me if I trust any writer in 2017, the year where things like the Ghostbusters reboot or Marvel's complete ruining of pretty much their entire line exist, if I trust a writer to handle diversity with any amount of subtlety or nuance, I'd have to say no.

I'm fine with strong black female Star Trek captain. I'm fine with female Doctor Who. I'm fine with lady Jedi and black Stormtroopers. Fuck, I'd be fine with all female Ghostbusters team. But with all the shit I've been given lately, I don't trust this particular set of ass clowns who work in Hollywood right now. You want me to support your minority characters? Prove to me you know what you're doing first. Then we'll talk.

>>85597703
Let's complain about diversity in a series that has always been known for diversity. There must be logic there some where.

>>85599273
>>"Fucking anti-Christian message (((they))) are pushing. No one believes in God in the 24th century, but this spiritual Indian guy is ok?"

Captains Log, stardate 1701.

We've arrived at a distant planet, the primitive lifeforms are much like our own however the female of the spieces seems to the dominant. Their society is simple, yet in many ways more advanced than our own. For all our technology, we lack the diversity, the tolerance and social wonder these people have. We can learn much from them.

>>85597703

No Andorian? No Tellarite? No Bolian? No Trill? No Saurian? No Rigellian? No This is the fucking least diverse Trek has ever been since ToS.

>>85600851

Are you sure you want to lock that answer? If anything the crew of TNG looks generic. Not that Discovery looks much better, but as a group TNG looks pretty generic.

>According to Entertainment Weekly, Bryan Fuller’s original pitch to CBS had the show starting in Discovery‘s timeline, but then moving through the eras of Kirk and Picard and then going beyond that, reaching a time period that hasn’t been seen in Star Trek before. He wanted to do something like American Horror Story, which resets its storyline each season, and described it as a “platform for a universe of Star Trek shows.” However CBS decided to create a single serialized show and see how it performed before agreeing to anything that elaborate.

We could have had trekino

We could have had fucking trekino

>>85598952
Lol omg inoritee????XD

>>85600951
That's exactly it. Diversity would be having a black female crew member and treating her just like every other crew member. (((Diversity))) would be everyone stopping and just staring in awe at how marvelous and amazing the minority crew members are and how perfect every single decision they make is. I don't trust the writers working in the business right now to not do the latter.

To be blasphemous and use a Star Wars reference in a Star Trek thread, I want an Ahsoka. I'm afraid I'll get a Rey.

>>85600951
>>85601099
What part of the trailer showed forced diversity?

>>85601134
The part where it was produced by CBS in the year 2017

>>85597703
Since diversity has been one of the main fucking staples of Star Trek since the 1960's, what is your fucking point, other than proving to everyone that you have clearly never watched the fucking show at all. You are not only retarded but also annoying and probably longing to suck on a niggers cock but are too afraid of your "feelings" to do so. My advice is to go an have "gay" sex with some niggers then kill yourself to stop the shame.

>>85597703
that's normal for star trek.

the only time it's been a negative thing was voyager, and only because of janeway.

>>85600610
Season 4 is good Star Trek, a shame that the earlier seasons all suck.

>>85601134
Like I said, I just assume the writers are incompetent nowadays until proven otherwise. I have been burned by terribly written minority characters who only exist to SLAY their YAAS QUEEN so many times that I go in expecting the worst now. Star Wars, Doctor Who, Ghostbusters, every single Marvel comic, they're all terrible written. It seems to be a trend in Hollywood. And each time it happens, I hope I'm wrong. I hope I'm wrong about this. I hope Discovery has well written, nuanced characters that exist beyond their race and gender.

But I kinda doubt it.

>>85600851
>Stardate 1702
>The females appear angry at the men, who are confused about the reason. When questioning what they have done wrong, the females start screaming what loosely translates to "if you have to ask, then I'm not telling you" the males then congregate at a nearby cave and consume what I appears to be alcohol.

There's a big difference between the diversity now and diversity then. Tuvok wasn't a black Vulcan so they hired a black actor, Tuvok was a Vulcan and they happened to go with Tim Russ because he was a good actor and fitted the role. The new characters are black ____ and gay _____, meaning they were built and written around those arbitary characteristics. That's why the wiki descriptions and the section on casting open with and mention their skin colour and sexuality. These things have nothing to do with the fucking characters and it's clear the show was built around checking boxes

That's the difference

>>85601493
>they happened to go with Tim Russ because he was a good actor and fitted the role
Are you this naive? There are always way more actors than there are speaking roles. When a character appears of a certain race, it was decided before the character was cast. Star Trek wrote the book on forced diversity

POC and a gay guy isn't a big deal nowadays. It's laughable how CBS is patting itself on its own back about this. Want to really break new ground? Make your cast non-american.

What the fuck is so diverse about having an afro-american, an asian-american and a latino-american on a show about a unified earth? But I guess even the most liberal showrunner doesn't want to confuse his audience with too foreign sounding names.

>>85601627
S3 WAS THE FUCKING WORST

26 episodes of ticking clock that lead to nothing

>>85602458
The last episode of 3 was the final insult. The Enterprise finally manages to destroy the fucking weapon (barely) and then: nothing. A new arc starts. Wtf?

>>85597703

That's Star Trek, anon.

Forced equality.

It's kinda good though in that everyone behaves like good Europeans and there's no actual differences other than what they look like.

There is difference between 50's and 60's progressives and their modern retarded counter parts that are called SJW's. They have cranked their ideology to 14 on Spinal Tap-scale. Progressives used to be quite a lot about opposing tyranny, now they want set up tyranny, oppression and kill free speech.

>>85599273
The difference between 90's and today is that basis of their PR-effort was about making good sci-fi show, instead of virtue signaling. Most of terrorism in western countries was made by mostly secular nationalists, usually targeted killings of opponents or bombings that came with warning, usually if authorities didn't fuck up everything only casualties would be police EOD-crews.

>>85605685
Anyone saying this was obviously born after the year 2000.

Why did they make it another prequel? Why didn't they set it in the future? They're going to be limited by the fact that their technology is going to look more advanced than TOS and going to accidentally retcon a load of shit. Sure, sequels can also retcon the story, but not quite as much as prequels.

Where's the gay atheist Muslim (did they mean Arab?)
>>85605762
Because it's basically an alternate universe that they're pretending is the original universe to pander to manchildren who don't like the reboots.
Also, because the original show had to do with a war in the past, but that was all scrapped

The original plan sounds pretty good. For some reason though, networks seem afraid of 25th century Trek, almost like it's too hard for them to imagine what the Federation and the various surrounding empires will be like by then. That's why we got shit like Enterprise and now this.

I would piss myself with glee over a 25th century Trek that explores a dying, decadent, corrupt Federation and implies in some ways that the singular empires (Klingon, Romulan etc) might just be on to something, but of course we'll never get that because it doesn't fit the 'diversity is muh strength' meme.

Definitely. Don't know why they keep opting for human captains. Viewers often find the alien or "different" characters more interesting and you'd think producers would have learned by now.

>>85609771

this is the mistake they keep making, focusing on the race of characters, or on their social justice modelled backstory struggle in trying to keep those characters in line with what is essentially mainstream irl bullshit

this is where they "push the agenda", regardless if they realize it or not, these hollywood types are so enveloped in the progressive leftist bubble they may not even realize just how bad ghostbusters 2016 was, they've lost objectivity

None of the others appear in the first trailer, as they aren't the focus of the show, as we've known for months, the fact that the first officer will be the main character was one of the first red flags that was known about it.

can we talk about something else

Alien characters are better, hypothetically speaking, than "diverse" human characters because they should force writers to think outside the bubble, to portray 'difference' without the easy fallback of contemporary social justice agendas.

Problems arise when they start using those characters as metaphors for irl bullshit, instead of coming up with new situations for them that have nothing to do with any of that. I don't trust modern writers to do the latter; the social justice stuff is too easy and lucrative a fallback.

>>85612434

>As long as they keep pushing diversity

......since 1966

Maybe it's just a sign of the times, but between the reaction some have to the cast of Discovery and the whole 'Trek Against Trump' thing and subsequent backlash last year, I honestly had no idea there were so many far-right Trek fans. I mean, what show were they watching?! The whole franchise is infused with messages about tolerance, respect, equality, scientific progress, and non-violence except in extreme situations. How can you watch all of that and then shout insults at people who are different than you?

>>85612586
That is not forced. There were no idea about how it needed to be diversity in everything back then.

>>85612594
It is not far right to hate this BS. It is not about Sex or race, it is about them pushing their agenda into the things we love.

>>85615126
Easy explanation is that light brown is a more pallette friendly color than black.

Black people are harder to deal with in terms of color, shading, and contrasts. They often need special lighting and filters in order for a director to properly express his vision. If Discovery is gonna be the dark, edgy series I'm betting it is, they'll need a light brown character instead.

Also finding attractive full black actors is pretty much impossible.

>>85615126
Purebreeds are too violent to succeed in life, nevermind Hollywood with the massive attention heaped upon them.

>>85600773
>Spock was half-human you dweeb

Spock was also played by a white man. Torres was played by a black woman. People back in the 60's also nearly rioted when Roddenberry tried to have a female first officer. What's really hilarious is that the people screaming about non-white non-males in shows today are exactly like the ones who did it back then.

Do you not understand what message they were leading into with the original Star trek cast?
They literally put a Russian in there to show diversity towards the Soviet Union since that show aired during the cold war.
The jap was there to ease tension with the old Japanese bigotry that was still around during that time from veterans. He even goes on a monologue about Japanese internment camps in the old century.
And the black girl was of course there since it was in the era of the civil rights movement

Honestly I thought everyone already knew this about the casting in these shows they all have a purpose to bring light to certain groups of people and gives a vision of what the future could be like, throwing out our race debates and seeing ourselves as human beings and yada yada yada

Explain why Avery Brooks was the only black actor who auditioned for the role of Sisko then. Only the most lazy of Trek posters are fooled by your blatant lies.

Why are niggers so racist that they always have to have white women? Don't they find black women beautiful?

Apparently, niggers are the greatest believers in white supremacy.

Harrison Bergeron - A short story about a dystopian future where a government department of equality enforces equality by making handsome people wear masks, forces smart people to wear ear devices that make loud noises and distract them from thinking, weighs down the strong with weights so they aren't stronger than anyone else, and covers up beautiful womens faces so they're not prettier than anyone else, etc. A ballet is performed to enforced mediocrity, and the titular character sees through it all, smashes the weights off of himself and frees the most beautiful ballerina. They're rewarded with 10ga. shotgun blasts for daring shake off the equality. It is a mere 6-page short story that destroys modern liberalism at its core.

Shame he's barely appeared in the promotional material. I suspect he won't be in the show much either seeing as he'll be the priciest actor on the roster.
