Buddy at the time Sisco being Sisco was a big deal. It was not organic and it definitely wasn't accepted by everyone. You need more context for the times when the past series came out. You don't feel like the past series are pushing the boundaries because those boundaries have already been pushed. All of that stuff has been normalized and accepted in part because of Star Trek.

You have the right to not like the new Star Trek series but you can't blame it on it being progressive and woke because that's always been Star Treks MO.
