  • Stupid "Political Correctness" hits Star Trek opening words

    It looks like the "Political Correctness" / "Equality" morons have now
    forced a change to the wording used in the upcoming series "Star Trek:
    Strange New Worlds".

    The orginal show uses the phrase:
    "To boldly go where no man has gone before".

    From this video of the excited cast <https://twitter.com/StarTrekOnPPlus/status/1370435517485969411>
    it appears that wording has been changed in the new show to be:
    "To boldly go where no one has gone before."


    "Man" is yet another word added to the 'naughty list' of banned words. :-\

    Err... The very first episode of TNG opened with Picard yapping
    “To boldly go where no-one has gone before”. You didn’t
    notice? I did. More than 30 years ago. It’s a bit late to be
    complaining...

    Indeed. Anybody who has been surprised by Star Trek being politically
    correct since the beginning of ST:TNG has been in a coma. Trek was
    woke before it was called woke. A *lot* before. By intent.

    Anyone complaining about “To boldly go where no-one has gone before” in
    2021 like it's something new can't be an actual Star Trek fan and is
    just complaining about something for the sake of it.

    I remember a group called the Procrastinators club that during the
    Vietnam war was protesting US policy from the War of 1812.....

    Was that not the phrase used in ST:TNG? It certainly wasn't a recent
    change
