Every single large server in this federation has at least one Star Trek community. There is even an entire server dedicated to Star Trek.
Not only that, these communities are some of the most active I’ve ever seen. There is no other franchise I know of that dominates the federation as much as Star Trek does.
So, what’s the correlation with Lemmy and Star Trek? Why not other sci-fi series? Please, are there any connections?? Is this all coincidental?
Agreed. I think the actual problem people have is that it’s not just placeholder characters. They have depth and motivations and yeah, they’re normal people, whether you like it or not. They’re not there as token representation or to push a specific plot point. They just are. It’s like star trek has moved on from showcasing how humanity could be different overall, to showcasing how things could be different for individual people if other people would just stop being dicks about every little thing. They don’t have to push as hard, but there’s more depth to the representation.
