Just once I'd like a post where everyone is chill and positive about stuff instead of focusing on negative
Edit: I dunno why I expect people to ever be capable of being positive anymore. Dunno why I bother.

So nutrek is an umbrella term for Discovery, Lower decks, SNW and Prodigy right? It's it common for people to hate all 4 with a passion? They're all sooooo different. I can get hating one, because they are all basically different genres.
I think people are afraid if they support one that they hate, then we'll get more of the same. So have a knee jerk reaction to be toxic when their hated show is discussed. The irony being that historically star trek is a show that seeks to show an example of interpersonal harmony. These people do want an outlet to discuss their grievances about the shows but mostly see that outlet when someone mentions the show because they love it.
If someone hates all 4, they must be pretty deep into some extreme ideology that somehow doesn't conform with all of Star Trek.
Maybe startrek.website needs a neutral zone that only allows constructive criticism but still provides an outlet for these feelings. 😅
Edit- I forgot Picard existed, whoops!
NuTrek was coined to refer to the Kelvinverse films (in a pejorative way) for being edgy and shallow like "NuMetal", but the "anti woke" crowd ruined it just like everything else.
You know, your question sparked a little realization for me - I like some of the newer series quite a bit more than some others; but I love that we're getting such a wide variety of directions and perspectives on the themes behind Star Trek!
