Shatner Slams E.U. Censors Proposal to Ban Star Trek’s “To Boldly Go Where No MAN Has Gone Before "

If the government or a corporation is involved one can always assume a suggestion is more than a suggestion. Especially with how cancel culture works and social media. You also can create a issue that isn't a issue. The whole "To Go Where No Man(one) has Gone" is a issue that is something that was resolved in 1987. To bring it up now is only because you want to make it a issue again.

So they know people will now feel pressured to take a side based on their tribal politics so you can bet a bunch of people who didn't give a shit like 5 minutes ago are now going to feel the need to defend or criticize "To GO Where No Man Has Gone" again for the sake of not allowing the other side bully them by forcing them to go with the TNG or TOS version. This is how grifters work. They throw a match on issues, sometimes real and serious issues but often also on nonsense like this, and then profit on all the pointless outrage and defensive postures that come from it.
Saw a post that struck me as relevant:

The world is changed by your example not your opinion.

Problem these days is the world is changed by corporations and governments pandering for the sake of profit and maintaining their status at the top. It's why Congress has turned into a cross between a old folks home and mental asylum. Why Corporations wage war on free speech and worker rights, out of fear someone might get so offended or they loose stock value that they stop buying their products.

That's because politics has become the new religion for so many people. They put so much self worth in these rich corrupt assholes who don't care one fig about them. Which I guess is not to different from old religion as well. I mean has the Vatican ever cared about anything other than maintaining it's power as just one example. Sure didn't have much issues with pedophile priests for a long time.
 
Soon as their is profit that can be made from the outrage. It also depends on whether or not people will be foolish enough like The Shat Man to take the bait. He got triggered and went snowflake over something that doesn't matter other than to the people trying to profit off the outrage. He should have stuck to riding his horses and enjoying life and ignoring social media nonsense.
 
Oh someone will try at some point. People would be pissed if they did and that leads to clicks and frankly those types of people are always on the search for fresh material, to the point where they are reaching for the bottom the barrel at this point to find new things to complain about.
 
Well, I meant the EU. But yeah, some drip somewhere will roast Neil Armstrong for the word choice, but I doubt they'll get far with that strain of indignation.
 
How long before they attack Neil Armstrong's "One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind."?
Who cares?

That doesn’t change history. He still did it, he still.said it, and the flag is on the moon.

Instead of bitching about attacks why not just talk about history?

That's because politics has become the new religion for so many people. They put so much self worth in these rich corrupt assholes who don't care one fig about them.

Indeed. People give it way more weight to it without taking personal responsibility to speak.
 
"Man" is still in TOS, TAS, many of the TOS Movies including being carved into a dedicatory plaque on the old wooden sailing ship steering wheel in the Enterprise-A's observation lounge and also ENT. It's not going anywhere, it's just being used less often.

You left out TNG. Is this to imply D.R. Bailey is now the author of TIN PERSON?;)

How long before they attack Neil Armstrong's "One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind."?

His intended ''a'' was either drowned out in static or accidentally left out. (''That's one small step for a man...'')
