I'm glad you're using your platform for good......you are forgiven for your sins

Being critical of your interests is sooooo fun when you have the critic gene & then you sound kind of insane to the average tv watcher when you're like "this is my favorite show, It's Racist" & then you try to clarify what you mean & get that [Speech (legendary) - FAILURE] "the racism is really interesting though"

[Speech (legendary) - SUCCESS] I find the sociopolitical context of pulpy old sci-fi born circa the civil rights movement really fascinating to analyze especially when it was progressive for its time but still reveals the writers' unexamined biases in the subtext

i love when people critique things about tos not being woke enough because it reminds me of how far we’ve come. i think to myself about how it would have been awesome if uhura and sulu got more screen time + more leadership positions (which we see marginally in tas but yk. that was a very short show) but it just reminds me how far we’ve come in terms of television representation (and how far there still is to go). i remind myself how insane it was to have these characters in this show in 1966 in the first place but how very sane it is to demand better.
