>>79346324>bitching about a show that came out in 1966 because it's not progressive by today's standardsIs... Is this nigga serious?
No, fuck this, lemme give you two examples why Star Trek was progressive as fuck.
In '66, the fucking height of the civil rights movement, they brought on Nichelle Nichols, a black female, when discussing her salary, Nimoy threatened to leave the show unless she was paid as much as anyone else on the show.
After Gene Roddenberry received criticism from Russian fans because they had no one to represent them despite being the first country to put a man in space, he added Chekov to the team, no big deal a except this was during the fucking Cold War.
Jesus Christ this shit's got me heated.
