I feel like it might be worth it to open the sub back up just to post Mozilla’s official statement. This really, really needs more attention, and it needs it now. I’ve been patiently waiting for a thread to start blowing up on Reddit all day and it’s like no one is even posting anything.

I know he trust her, and Kirk, but damn that was an extreme leap of faith.
That’s exactly what it is. They have an extremely narrow and boring definition of what Star Trek is “supposed” to be, and revolt against anything that steps outside that, be it comedy, action, whatever.
