what would a chud even like about Star Trek? It’s explicitly a show about a utopian socialist society that’s defeated war, hunger, racism, and sexism.
Like I can still enjoy some reactionary media, like Attack on Titan is written by a chud, but I can still recognize that it’s reactionary. The original Ghost in the Shell manga is the same way. I’m with you on anime, I’ve been into it for decades and it’s full of conservative dorks who fail at basic media literacy who get surprised when there are actually political themes that translate to real world positions
Probably some brain-dead “humanity fuck yea” bullshit. I’ll bet they don’t even think about the whole FALGSC aspect, just the cool humans running around space getting one over on the aliens. Basically what 0 media literacy does to a motherfucker
i mean to be fair Star Trek is a product of an imperial, western nation so there are some lingering attitudes like you mentioned that pop up occasionally. It depends on the writer though. Often the humans do have a very colonial, imperialist attitude towards other species. Sometimes Starfleet is purely a research/diplomacy organization, sometimes it operates more like a military. It’s a show that’s been around for a while so it’s inconsistent, but the core of the show has been there from even before Day 1. It’s showing a future where humans are better than they are now, not because of the space tech stuff, but because we’ve fixed our society and how people are treated.
Yeah look at Warhammer 40k lmao, thousands of dumbass chuds who don’t play the game (and barely engage with the surrounding entertainment) always chime in to speak their piece on fiction they only know thru memes. I stopped playing years ago, but I have a few friends who share their grievances with me. It sounds aggravating
Because you’re not a real nerd. You’re a normie who doesn’t belong, go back to watching football or golf or something.
Always gatekeep your hobbies. Take it from an anime fan, they invade our communities and act like the standing authorities on it.
