So you reject our reality and substitute your own?
Star Trek TOS wasn’t real. Discovery sets the stage for the 23rd century. Your claims, those hours of footage and the wasted years of fanboys mean absolutely nothing.
I think we just need to accept the fact that this is a full reboot.

The mere use of a term doesn't give said term meaning or bring the thing it's describing into existence.
Pretending it doesn’t exist doesn’t remove it either.
You keep attaching the term "reboot" (or derivations thereof) to things that are not actually reboots, so I'm not the one "pretending" here.
It means everything.
^ It really doesn't.
The term "soft reboot" is merely a different way to describe a sequel.

I don’t think you fully understand what a reboot is in the film industry.
^ I understand exactly what a reboot is; I also understand that the term is frequently being misappropriated, but that doesn't change what the term actually means.
You can take a shovel and continuously describe it as being a rake, but that doesn't actually make it a rake.

It means exactly how we're using it.
^ Nope.
How would you describe the changes then?
Because Discovery fits the 'soft' part.
As aesthetic updates, retcons, and expansions of Canon and continuity, which is what they are. They don't make Discovery into something other than a sequel/spinoff, though, even if people keep trying to use a basically meaningless "synonym" for the former terms to describe the series.
I'm not saying Discovery isn't related to the rest of the franchise.
Soft Reboot's preserve continuity while changing other aspects, like visuals.
TMP would be another example of a 'soft reboot'.
A "soft reboot" is a sequel.
Not always
And Discovery is a prequel. A sequel set before a story.
Chronologically.
Production-wise, it's a sequel and spinoff of the original Star Trek.
and you just said Soft Reboots are sequels. So it fits.
Discovery is a Soft Reboot.
