Who said you can’t critique Disco?

This is about a very specific, very silly objection, levelled by people who have found themselves indoctrinated into a mode of thinking that alienates them from the people around them, because of a manufactured fear preying upon alienation many of us experience in our modern world.

I’ve had plenty of objections to aspects of Disco, especially during season two, but scattered throughout the series, and no one has ever called me a bigot for my hot takes. If you’re presenting your critiques in such a way that people are assuming you’re bigoted, perhaps you should reevaluate how you’re constructing your criticism.

Valid Criticisms:

Max drama deviates from star trek standard format

non episodic / arcs within arcs make it hard to jump in and follow

Everyone talks too fast (lampooned on SNW | LD crossover even!) Deus Ex (Time Travel | AI | Etc.)

MultiLithium gets really explody if you cry hard enough.

Not Valid:

Everything is too (Gender | Sexual Preference | Skin Color) for ST (these people have a vacation fuck planet, and regularly bone holocharacters, get over it we all know if Kirk had a holodeck he would have died in that thing).

Mushroom warp is stupid (fuck you I loved mushroom warp).

Mushroom warp is so dumb, I don't even know where to start. Disco is shit. Wokeness isn't the problem though.
