Do they really have to shoehorn modern day **** into something that's meant to be set in the 32nd Century?
Well to be fair, in the context of the free-spirited, utopian vision that star trek was/is supposed to represent, i'd probably not ere on the side of rigid social conventions remaining the same over a period of centuries. Also to be pedantic, it's not
exactly the 32nd century as the story revolves around 23rd century transplants, so practically it's involves 23rd century norms. Obviously, it doesn't mean that current schisms would survive until then, but then it's fiction... so it's whatever the writers say it is.
Anyway, regardless of all of that, if it's thrown in the viewers face at every opportunity instead of offering decent character/story development, then well it deserves to be criticised harshly for various reasons. If it's subtle or barely acknowledged (as it should be) then I'm not sure it matters, however I'm not hopeful considering the writers involved.
I'm curious to know though, is it genuine 'inclusion', shameless viral advertising or is it focus groups deciding what a company does with it's products?
