I wonder when the quit complaining about having to pump their own gas. Sometimes I’m impressed when they manage to get me on the phone without an operator. How do you think boomers would deal with themselves as teens?
Star Trek in 1966: has a bridge crew containing a black female, Russian man, and faaaabulous Japanese man, each of whom holds the rank of full Lieutenant on their own abundant merits
In Nichelle Nichols' autobiography she talks about how the network insisted the scene be filmed both with and without the kiss, and of course, being good loyal actors, they complied. But, on takes without the kiss, something always seemed to go wrong… Shatner flubbed a line, the boom was in the shot, the cameras weren't quite set up correctly… eventually they ran out of time and were forced, "reluctantly", to submit only the takes with the kiss. I recommend Beyond Uhura. Also Kate Mulgrew's "autobiography" of Captain Janeway is a great read too. :)
Right up there with the guy who thought wind turbines were giant fans combating global warming by cooling the entire earth with their sweet, sweet breeze
If you have resist fingerprint on, or use Librewolf, then you need to disable resist fingerprint, clear twitch cache and cookies then restart firefox/librewolf. Go back to twitch, log in (remember me for 30 days), and you should pass twitch's integrity check on login and be through.
Disable ad-blocking/tracking extensions - uBlock Origin, Decentraleyes, TTV Pro LOL etc. (sometimes I need to do this for twitch integrity check to pass. This should only happen once during the authentication request).

For me (on Librewolf and Floorp), it was just enabling WebGL, opening Twitch, logging in, and then disabling WebGL. RFP didn’t have any effect, at least back then.
culture wars are at an all time high due to right wing lies and attempts to push everyone not like them back into a culture of fear and hiding. So they are more sensitive to stuff they would not have batted an eye over before.
stories no longer have men controlling everything and having all the authority/adventures
Also what happened is that things that where highly political and controversial at the time are now "normal" and so conservatives don't see them as political anymore because the Overton window have shifted (for the most part), so now they attack the new "unthinkable" progressive "agendas".
Kind of like how TOS was almost flagrantly progressive at the time, with women not only being equals on the bridge, but being allowed to wear what they wanted, like miniskirts, without having to dress like the men, but today, it's seen as an artefact of the times, and as a sign of the comparatively regressive attitudes of the day, rather than the feminist icon it was when the show aired.
