What is nerdier?

It does sound horrible. I only followed TNG and a little of the originals and the movies but what I liked about TNG was that you could never know who would be the protagonist of the next episode it could be anyone from the captain to a random red shirt. Your description sounds like STD indeed. Seems like you're getting a bigger kick in the softies than SW fans got.

@kayoshin It's happening all over the sci-fi world at the minutes.

It's like SJWs and Militant feminists have decided we are a soft taret do they are moving in to ruin everything we love...

They're not having an easy time of it though. They've forgotten they need our money and viewership to survive.

I think they honestly expected to oust all of us older white dudes from the genre by making everything unrelatable (or just crap) and replace us with a whole host of virtue signallers.

It seems the virture signallers they wanted to appear are either not there or don't like sci-fi, lol

Companies can' just go around insulting their main customer (as has actually happened) and not expect some for of backlash.

Take Captain Marvel for example. Larson blasts her mouth off every week and the projected sales drop every time, and rotten tomatoes is showing the percentage of people wanting to see the film is at now at 28%

Of course... We must ALL be misogynists and women haters.

Odd then that Wonder Woman did really well and Alita is doing amazingly!

The problem is the customer for sci fi changed but instead of broadening the range of science fiction it just moved focus from one type of nerd to another and the big spenders are teenage and 20 year old women not men, just ask the fashion industry. So the money is not going to be a leverage in men's favour :) It's ok these things tend to be cyclical, soon people will get tired of watching 45 kg women beating men the size of The Rock with one hand behind d their back without any reason :)
