You have the right to not like them - I don't much like them either.
I just think that your proud proclamations of "harumpf, I don't consider it star trek!" make you seem like the edgelord and also, saying "I don't consider NuTrek to be Star Trek" in the same paragraph as "I don't hate other star trek fans" sure sound like you're doing the gatekeeping.
NuTrek is Star Trek, whether you like it or not. I'm pretty sure that there were people disowning TNG when it first aired, every series got hate when it comes out. And then eventually people grow to like it, and even when it has low points, they just say "yeah, it's not that great, but it's star trek, what can you do" and shrug. It hasn't been that long, and lots of people already reminisce about how good and comfy Enterprise was.
And as for "old Trek was secretly bad, this means new Trek is magically good" - well, no, I think Picard is 90% garbage, Discovery is pretty bad so far - though it has vastly improved in season 2, with the introduction of Pike - but TNG also had a very rough start, and all series were filled to the brim with dumb stuff.
People who go on tirades about how "scientifically inaccurate it is that the romulan sun went supernova over the course of a day!" forget about Barclay de-volving into a spider, or the transporter turning Picard into a child by deactivating his adulthood genes, and other stuff like that.
Similarly, people who complain about all the politics forget that every past series addressed contemporary politics. Remember the transsexual alien that got put through conversion therapy because she wanted to date riker? Remember every single space race that is a thinly veiled allegory for the communists or the nazis?
