I swear people that don't watch trek think it's just about lasers and technobabble.

I know people that refused to watch Discovery because 'they made it all woke and now it's all about women'.

    Discovery has problems (I still like that show), but being woke it not one of them...

    This. I don't watch Discovery anymore because I couldn't stand a lot of the characters but it had absolute nothing to do with progressive views.

    It's got a very TOS-style of writing and story to it.

    I remember seeing a fair few people pitch a fit about the Burn, for example, even though "angry man has a tantrum and nearly blows up the universe", and "child with godlike powers" are common TOS plots.

    They tried something new, which I don't mind them for, but I don't think it mixed well with people being used to more TNG-styles plots, and the writing not being that great. Still, it managed to help kickstart the modern revival of Trek, and gave us (non-wheelchair) Captain Pike, so it wasn't all bad.
