The Federation is helping a planet transition out of capitalism to post-scarcity, and it’s basically a huge celebration.

    I guess if you’re a child

    Covert Rick Berman apologist detected. Even apologism for the latinum which was also Rick Berman’s “moneyless future is stupid actually” deliberate inclusion as far as he could get away with. How dare “children” criticize the inclusions from the “Adult In The Room” that creeped on Terry Farrell until he forced her to quit the show and killed off her character as punishment for not liking being creeped upon.

      I hate Rick Berman I hate Rick Berman I hate Rick Berman. Every bad trend we see in nuTrek really did start with Berman Trek.

      One of the many great things Lower Decks did was when Cerritos visited DS9 and Boimler extremely obviously just did not give a shit about latinum at all.

        It checks out that Rick Berman also hated children and used “childish” and “children” to speak down to people he didn’t like. The fact that the Enterprise-D had children on board, including schools and such for them, enraged him because his war fixation didn’t have room for that.

          One of the good plots from DS9 was Keiko O’Brien fighting against then-Vedek Winn to keep reactionary religion from fucking up science education.

          We barely got any Keiko after that though, especially in her role as a teacher. Not grim dark adults in the room enough for Berman.

            Agreed, and I think that was a direct consequence of Berman’s hatred for children in general and “Adult In The Room” self-identification.

              Which reminds me actually, one of the worst Star Trek opinions I’ve ever seen from a hexbear user was that Keiko should’ve had an arc of converting to the Bajoran faith. Just doubling down on the character assassination Berman already did to her.
