   Personally, I couldn't care less that the visual effects are   
   different.  I am perfectly fine with that.  It doesn't bother me at   
   all if the bridge looks more advanced or the Klingons look a little   
   different.  Don't care.   
      
   My complaint (probably too strong a word, it's just a show) is that   
   the people making the show have made a concerted effort to make big   
   social justice BS a huge issue for it, to the point of re-writing   
   canonical history of the Trek universe to do it, and to make this   
   totally unrealistic view of no straight white males in sight 10 years   
   before Kirk.  That's a nonstarter for good fiction especially in an   
   established universe.  They have an agenda to push.  There were some   
   horrible agenda EPISODES of other Trek, like The Outcast, where they   
   basically tell us that Riker was attracted to someone with an   
   underdeveloped penis and you should be happy about that, but that was   
   one (awful) episode.  These guys are going all in on in-your-face   
   snowflake-revolution-in-space, and screw your Trek timeline, we are   
   going to shove all of our SJW wet dreams into this show because it's   
   better than what was already there.
