Sounds like you failed to present your opinion properly. That's on you.

They were no more in your face than any straight/cis people in the entire franchise.
I guess this makes Kelvin Timeline Sulu bad. Even though all of one shot in one of three films showed his sexual identity.
I have never said anything to dismiss trans people!
Please, watch your words ... all that hate you are only allowed because you are behind the anonymity of the internet!
Given that your objection seems to be over the mere inclusion of gay and trans characters because they're gay and trans I'd say it's valid description. If that's not your intention then you're doing a terrible job of explaining yourself.
It was stupid because TOS Sulu had never been gay. Even George Takei was against nuSulu being gay! Not that there is anything wrong with a gay character, but it could have been someone else!
Yeah, maybe that's because english is not my first language? And you are dissing me because I'm german, you racists!
If the Air Bigot shoe fits...
Which part did we all misunderstand, and how did we all come to the same conclusion? And were we holding you hostage and forcing you to type the words that you did, which are quoted and documented in the thread?
Open eyes, non-hateful hearts, can't lose.
You seem pretty fluent. Have another go at why LGBTQ+ representation is "in your face" on the current Trek shows.
Maybe you should learn not only how to read, but to understand ...
Okay, how would you change Adira, Tal, Stamets and Culber to make their contributions to their respective series better?
Bullshit.
My name's Dennis Bailey. I live in Maryland, in the United States. If you felt like it, you could find out just about anything you wanted to about me- assuming that you know how to use Google.*
You won't ante up, because you're the one hiding in the belief that you can say whatever you want without consequence.
And that's hypocritical bullshit.**
* I assume nothing here.
**I'm being kind here.
I'm not a writer ... let Stamets and Culber take a bigger part, they have barely been visible in the last two seasons! Especially Culber, he feels like a rare guest star instead of a regular.
Adira and Tal, on the other hand ... I don't know why they were there to begin with. Representation, I guess ... which is exactly my complaint. They were not there because the story demanded it, they were just there to make a statement!
I didn't even know you were German until you mentioned it and then I looked at your location field, nor do I care now that I know it. It has nothing to do with my opinion on your rhetoric.
Your English is just fine. It's your attitude that sucks. Don't try and hide behind language difficulties at the eleventh hour after you've demonstrated excellent fluency throughout the discussion.
I'm arguing against your continued insistence that the existence of gay and trans people is somehow being shoved in your face, your nationality has nothing to do with it. It seems like you'd rather distract and dance around what you meant rather than explain it, hardly the actions of someone making an innocent mistake or misunderstanding.
Those of us in the Queer community are well aware of the rhetorical tricks employed to delegitimize us, marginalize us, and sweep us under the rug. This is not our first rodeo. Your rhetoric has been ticking all the boxes and raising warning flags.
Leave your martyrdom and persecution act in your quarters. There's no room for it on the Bridge.

I don't care one way or the other, why would I? And what the hell is your problem?
Claiming that LGBTQ people are being "shoved in your face" is probably the most common catchphrases of the "I'm not a bigot but..." crowd. It's just another whine from people demanding they be sheltered from having to know other people exist.
I'm as white and cis as a Warrant music video and I'm happy Adira and Tal give representation to people who want to know they exist in the future. Besides, one's a Trill and the other's now a Soong-type android.
How is that NOT Trek?

I don't like smugly bigoted posts.
But then, you're able to make hateful remarks because of the anonymity of the Internet.
