    They think it’s only woke now because they’re only looking for it now.

    Previously, it all flew right over their heads.

      It doesn’t help that a lot of it is simply so out of date now, that it’s considered the norm now.

      We don’t exactly think all that much of Picard being bald, or Janeway being Captain of the Voyager. For us now, they’re normal, ordinary things.

      Whereas back in the day, it was an unusual choice. There were many jokes about it being natural the Voyager would get into a space accident on its first voyage, because Janeway was in command, for example.
