Social Media Post:
Star Trek fans have held the national stereotype of being way too rabid about things for decades but they’re probably the nicest fan base in all of science fiction and the one least likely to have a large faction of them absolutely lose it over a torpedo being fired by a woman or dumb shit like that

    Specifically why I said black/white. and peck on the cheek isn’t consider a “kiss” by most people. (although it probably caused a stir). This was also right in the middle of the black civil rights movement which made it that much more risky.

      Okay then, you’ll have to go with Sammy again and Nancy Sinatra:

      That would have been in 1967. Plato’s Stepchildren was a year later.

      On top of that, you have to further specify that this is only on American TV, because Gordon Heath kissed Rosemary Harris in a production of Othello on the BBC in 1955.

          Do you think insulting a mod will go well for you? And congratulations for proving the above meme incorrect about Star Trek being the nicest fan base.

          Showing you that a passionate kiss between a white woman and a black woman happened on British television over a decade before Star Trek is not being pedantic. You were just wrong.

              Rule 2 applies to everyone regardless of circumstance. You’ve violated it twice now. Time for a break.

              I will give you the same warning I gave them. Civility rules apply to everyone. Please do not violate them again.

              Also, why do people insist on showing that the Star Trek community is not, in fact, nice?
