I do admit that it is suspect for Lorca to put Tyler as his head of security (although, as you say, he does things his own way most of the time), but I don't think he's aware of any of Tyler's recent actions, right? I think the only two that really know something is wrong that we know are Culber and Burnham (to a lesser extent).
He isn't. Read the thread.
I dunno the idea of us all being equal means anyone can be a marginally ok writer or actor and fall into dramatic storytelling tropes.
That being said I don't think the idea is a mistreatment of gays. it isn't an uncommon storytelling device among any group of people.
On the ship there is one organic and natural relationship, the one that has the opportunity for more people to relate to, straight or gay, and that's stammets and culber. Between the cohabitation, the openness between one another and the portrayal of a common type of natural love, its the one I for one relate to the most. In some ways they remind me of my wife and I.
So, if I'm writing a show and decide, we need to tug on heart strings and someone has to die, it'd be one of them.
That they've already fridged two POC women does not exactly elicit confidence...
It will be ok, I assure you. It's not very likely that it's a plot by male white supremacists to make Trek great again, or whatever.
The problem is you see them as POC, the production crew doesn't, they see them as Actress's and paychecks.
No they don't.
No. When they brag about the diversity, they're asking for it. They bragged having the first female captain & first officer duo, then they kill the captain (and demote the first officer.) Then they brag having an openly gay couple, only to kill one of them.
It's not like they have many to left.
and one is coming back.
