Fact of the matter is that we ALL have issues with how fan productions have depicted the TOS era through a modern lens. For example, I wasn't too keen about having Peter Kirk being depicted as a gay man in Phase II's "Blood and Fire", or seeing the character have a rather graphic make-out session. However, having gotten over the shock, I accepted the idea that this was Phase II's production, and it was their story to tell. And while all fan productions are non-canon (including books, comic, etc.), I consider the aforementioned episode as a legitimate vehicle to express an important topic. Thus, in the end, I got over it. Since then, Peter Kirk being depicted as a gay man doesn't bother me anymore. Same with Captain Sonya Alexander being called inappropriate names. Obviously, the Klingons hate humans, and would use propaganda in their war effort, including "slut-shamming" the enemy's female commanders. We forget that in World War II, it was common for the Axis Powers to spread simple leaflets of cartoon drawings of the milkman attempting to get with an away GI's wife/girlfriend/fiancee. "Look what your women are doing while you are fighting US!" That sort of thing. So, I take the insults towards Alexander as nothing more that propaganda, which is is why she found it amusing that the Klingons would have to stoop so low, even as she is kicking their collective a** in battle.
Still, perhaps it would be best if the profanity is eliminated altogether? One poster complained that he couldn't show PtA because of the language, while another was offended because of the invectives leveled at the sole female character. So, while I am a supporter of this film, let's not needlessly alienate some within our audience for the sake or artistic license. Okay?
