...are either admitting that they've never actually seen an episode of original series Star Trek, or they are admitting that they've hated Star Trek since 1966, or they are admitting that they've completely missed the point of Star Trek. Because Star Trek has always been "woke," long before the feeble label of "woke" was misapplied to everything under the sun by bigoted assholes who use it to try to subvert something that is good (i.e. the entire concept of not being a bigoted asshole, which was the actual meaning of being "woke," (EDIT 2)[2](/EDIT 2) back before the bigoted assholes started trying to subvert it) into something that is, at least according to the bigoted assholes, worthy of hate (because of course bigoted assholes would hate a concept that tries to persuade people to not be bigoted assholes, because if such a thing managed to catch on, it would mean that the bigoted assholes could no longer be bigoted assholes free of the consequences of being a bigoted asshole).
(EDIT) I thought that I'd already made a post like this, and, sure enough, I did. It's just that it was back in the days when the go to phrases of bigoted assholes were "SJW agenda" and "PC culture" rather than "woke." It all means the same thing, though. It means "we're being punished by society for being bigoted assholes when we act like bigoted assholes, and we don't like that; we just want to be free to be bigoted assholes without having to face the consequences of being bigoted assholes, and so we're going to be even bigger bigoted assholes towards anything and everything that might be trying to get us so stop being bigoted assholes, by labeling all of that stuff with asinine buzzwords like 'SJW agenda' and 'PC culture' and 'woke' in an effort to make a good thing seem like a bad thing, because we're bigoted and we're assholes." (/EDIT)
(EDIT 2)
[2] - Actually, the original original meaning of "woke," at least in context, was simply used to show that one was aware of the injustice and systemic bigotry that was and is baked into society as a whole. Because it absolutely is. And that's why bigoted assholes hate the idea of people being "woke" so much and why they're trying so hard to redefine "woke" as something bad.
