I already stated that Netflix being unhappy can't be proven or disproven. So there will never be a source. You really expect a Netflix executive to say "hey, Discovery sucks, but please sign up for Netflix and quote me on that"
Funny, those same white guys had no problem with Voyager nor DS9. Lol. And you know it is more than just them being the lead. They hate anything that looks like a "SJW" to them.
Both shows have/had straight white male captains that are not weaklings, both shows have strong female characters, and both shows have a ton of gay shit in them. There is more than enough of a "SJW agend" as they call it in the Orville for them to absolutely hate the show. The difference is not sonequa martin-green. The difference is one show is modelled after TNG and the other is not.
I don't even know why you argue. I tried with Discovery. I really tried. I stupidly "sunk cost fallacied" my way to the conclusion of season 2. It seems like every episode, somebody is crying on that muthafucka. They need to change that shit from Star Trek: Discovery to Star Trek Discovery: The Search For Tears. My mom is probably the easiest person to entertain as far as TV shows. She was excited to see a black female lead. She was giddy with excitement. She bowed out after episode 4.
I'm going to give Picard a chance. But, with the new crop of people at the helm, I have my doubts.
Before I forget . . .
It's still fuck JJ Abrams, as a staff, studio and as a muthafuckin' crew.
