Ok I'll say it- I like the DSC Klingons

I can totally see Lorca willing to negotiate and, if necessary, even openly ally himself with some Klingons, such as Kol. Those two would get along quite well, I think.
 
That article starts and ends with the fact that the Klingons seem evil, and misses the point. They are supposed to. Not to "dismiss the ideals" of Star Trek, but to demonstrate them. They are supposed to look like and be judged as monsters, just like the tardigrade. They are supposed to be the scary "other". The showrunners have literally said so months ago:

I feel like one of the themes we are exploring is universal and is a lesson I feel like as human beings we have to learn over and over again – is you think you know ‘the other,’ but you really don’t.
- Gretchen Berg

And I think when people look at the Klingons – I frankly love what they represent. Not in terms necessarily of all the messaging, but in terms of learning about them and learning why they are who they are and making sure they aren’t just the enemy.
- Aaron Harberts

And that's your excuse for the show?
