Here's a few examples:

The Popcast (recently made a video warning of the "dangers" of the Barbie movie because it's feminist. Now Im going to go see it lol), Midnights Edge (general right wing conspiracy theories regarding media, occasional delving into new age crank too), Nerdrotic (thinks Hollywood is engineering a communist Red Guards plot to kill conservatives), The Critical Drinker (typical edgelord anti feminist), Dave Cullen (extreme anti feminist who believes in all the QAnon, Agenda 21 conspiracy theories).

And it goes on and on. I know there's popular left wing and liberal reviewers too, but for whatever reason so many of the ones I run into are far right. Is there some sort of draw for conservatives to geekdom or is something else going on?

    I actually like PIcard Season 3 more now on rewatches, but I kinda hate the fanbase surrounding the season because it's very toxic (and not because they dislike the New Trek shows, I mean the whole "its not woke" nonsense)

      I liked seeing the old gang back together, but it seemed like they prioritized that over other considerations. They were the Next Generation, but their own children need their help to do engineering tasks or solve other problems.

      Also TNG has had like 3 endings now. Enterprise didn't even get one.

      If the franchise is going to move forward it needs new casts like SNW or lower Decks to carry that way.

        I agree. I loved seeing the TNG cast back together, but I want all new characters. That's actually a problem with SNW as well, yes its a new cast but theyre playing 57 or whatever year old characters. That being said, since you brought up Enterprise, I'd love to see an Archer miniseries that gives some actual closure to Enterprise, if possible.
