So I'm working my way through Star Trek: TNG, and I saw an episode about a race of humanoids that had "evolved" to be genderless. And anyone who identified as a gender was shunned and shamed. S5 E17 "The Outcast". This shit aired in 1992, yet it seems like what will happen if Millenials continue in their current state.
Thoughts?
Nolan Miller
>Thoughts?
millenials are a totally fucked up generation that will probably be offended by that episode because it doesn't reflect their individual special snowflake situations
Matthew Walker
StarTrek has tons of episodes like this
Thomas Hill
>Thoughts?
Neckbeard problems.

You're probably right. In this episode the genderless are "normal" and those who are male or female are hated and sent to camps to undergo conversion therapy. To be honest i think its pretty accurate about hate going in cycles... whomever the dominant group is will persecute... as things integrate, persecution will shift

This shit predicted our future 25 years ago
Thomas Morgan
star trek is a sci-fi series. sci-fi explores possibilities as a thought experiment. it's food for thought, not prophecy or propaganda. the 90s were much more sane than than 2010s
Daniel Gray
Did the episode end with some kind of lesson for the audience?
Jacob Rivera
That Riker gets all the bitches
Joseph Torres
I feel sad that such an old show taught such morals and we have seemingly not learned them.
I mean, i realize that many of the morals it teaches are much much much older than star trek TNG, and shit like the holocaust happened anyway, so clearly just illustrating the morals doesn't really impact people meaningfully, but you'd really really hope they would. Because if our art cannot make that impact, what else can?
We don't pass on wisdom through our genes, and if we can't pass on wisdom through our art, our culture, what hope is there that we'll become better people in the future?
It's a symptom of a great old fear by the learned: Maybe people just _don't_ learn from the past, despite all our wise words about the importance of doing that.
Caleb Hill
Just saw that episode 2 days ago as well.
Binge watching it on Netflix.
Its really interesting how easy the American liberals are manipulated into destroying themselves and everything else around them.

>yet it seems like what will happen if Millenials continue in their current state.
think the message might have gone over your head
Josiah Torres
She/he could have been a bit less callus when they told Riker that they weren't interested anymore
Landon Scott
Riker is a freaky deaky fucker.
Gabriel Campbell
this episode always bugged me shes "female" but .....in the human terms shes not human her species has no gender so its what she makes up in her head biassed on the humans she observes?
Josiah Scott
Any friends of De Soto on this thread?
Grayson Baker
1. why did you put evolved in quotes? if they evolved like that, they evolved like that
2. > a race of humanoids [...] "evolved" to be genderless > seems like what will happen if Millenials continue in their current state
lol no

Don't pretend these identity politics didn't begin a long time before the millenials gen Z faggot. Millenial snowflakery pales in comparison to disservice the boomers did to future generations with the social safety nets they constructed, bankrupted, then kicked the can far enough down the road to die and stick us with the bill. If you want to complain about a generation, boomers were the worst. Is it so hard to see why millenials have such a sense of entitlement, choosing to spend all their money on lifestyle, racking up massive student loan debt and expecting it to be forgiven, and voting for commies like Sanders who tells them they deserve to be given more free shit? This is all the result of being raised by boomers.

Noah Torres
Ok so it's either an accident or subtle troll, but I was staring at this picture trying to figure out why everyone looked just every so slightly "off". Most noticeably Riker.
Jacob Wood

Thomas Collins

Elijah Taylor

Hunter Thompson

Xavier Stewart
No. Bad. Get back in the corner.
Gavin Martinez
Star Trek TNG was a stupid show trying to show how communism is better than capitalism. Just look how the capitalist were shown. the Ferengi. The writers took all the best parts of humanity and kept them, while tossing out all the worst parts and just said "oh well humans evolved to not be like that". That's not how shit works dummy. Stupid show. Voyager was better anyways.
Tyler Cooper
The woman who identified as female went to conversion camp and was "cured" to be vender neutral... that was the last scene
Charles Edwards
"Commander, tell me about your sexual organs."
Andrew Richardson
This
Josiah Sanchez
They actually were offended by it. People at the time, that is. That episode was hated so much.
Jayden Wood
The message was one of evolution and the cycle or the norm
Benjamin Perry
Bitch I love SG1 but when McGiver took a passive role it got boring
Kayden Sullivan
Yea except we arent evolving past gender.... millennials are just disguising mental illness as a moral high ground.
