Look, they want to shoot us all anyway, so why not just go down swinging and miss gender the whole lot of them
They should ban the show because of the split infinitive.
I just came here for pictures of hot alien chicks.
Yet that line is problematic and speciesist. It renders aliens "invisible," because aliens had already gone to those places, yet that line implies that aliens don't count.
So, I suppose to Hollywood the word "citizen" has become offensive as well.. :(
I've read about how he treats other people. He traumatized Wesley Crusher (Wil Wheaton) so badly, that the guy has a video on youtube talking/whining about his horrible experience with William Shatner.
Shatner is the sort of Alpha male who has little tolerance for lesser people around him.
I have to applaud him though, he's 90 something and still lively!
Thank goodness...thought they were gonna ban “He’s dead, Jim”.
Star Trek TNG did away with Man in its first episode. Picard’s intro say “ no one has gone before”. Which was kind of stupid because it would mean Enterprise went places no Vulcan, Klingon, Romulan, or Borg ever went. But wokeism existed three decades ago.
I always understood ‘man’ in the Trek opening and in the Neil Armstrong speech....and pretty much everywhere to mean all human beings....including women....when that’s the context it is used in Any sane rational person would agree with me.
With all that said, sometimes the word man simply means man and the word woman simply means woman.
Using gendered words does not diminish anyone or anything. It’s simply stating a fact. Do we have stop using the words dog and cat and instead go to the word ‘pet’ when describing our animals....so as not to offend....and create an artificial hierarchy?
This is absolute insanity. I can’t believe the idiocy we are dealing with nowadays.
Don’t let anyone control your language because then they control you.

Nah, let's get all the way back to Adam and Steve.
At the time that Star Trek premiered, the only astronauts for the U S were men. Russia had one woman cosmonaut. That was “then” so Capt. Kirk was right.
But remember that Kirk had two women in his crew, Uhuru and Rand, one Japanese-American, one Scotsman and one Russian.
The show was way ahead of the UN aholes!
Star Trek the Next Generation changed the line.
“To boldly go where no one has gone before!”
They also had woke Picard and Riker and that wuss Wil Wheaton as Wesley Crusher. Watching that show was like being in a university meeting.
Romulans are attacking!
Picard: Everyone to the conference room for a staff meeting!
It’s simply Bowdlerizing, something hoity toity Yourapeons have been doing since quaint Victorian times, an earlier period when oh-sosensitive ears could not bear to hear to vulgar the language of, Shakespeare, for example.

I knew I liked Jim Kirk. I wonder if he is descneded form Russell Kirk.
Imagine thinking the Satanic EU is an ally and traditional Russia is an enemy. Weak minds do that.
For a White guy playing captain. Unacceptable in this day and age.
From my dictionary
“man...1. an adult male person. 2. a human being. 3. the human race....”
