When I first became aware of it, I did not expect this story to become a good case for worker's rights and ensuring everyone has enough rest but here we are.
I agree with you. For better or worse, I have to imagine a lot of people who's job relies on pumping out regular articles use LLMs to get the ball rolling. Which is what appears to have happened here.
Well said. The sidebar says the #1 rule in this community is "be constructive". I think most of us here enjoy a spirited debate with a like minded crewmate, but jumping into someone else's thread to tell them how much you didn't like something because of reasons is... well not constructive.
If you didn't finish it, I highly recommend the last two seasons. I almost gave up on it for the reasons you cite, but the last two are a large tonal shift (positively in my opinion).
Discovery probably "got it the worst" because it came out during peak gamergate-era politics. Online fandoms were weaponized and radicalized into right-wing culture warriors. Discovery is easily the least preachy of any Star Trek series but because it had a black woman in a leading role it became an obvious target for ragebaiters to make stuff up about.
Thanks for clarifying, after I left that comment I realized I had the order of events reversed!
