TOS had the first interracial kiss between a white person and a black person on U.S. TV. It also shows a socialist utopia where men and women of all races are equal, indigenous cultures are respected, and they try to talk out a hostile situation before they resort to firing their weapons whenever they can.
The neat thing about post scarcity societies is that economic systems become moot so long as the government isn’t particularly oppressive. It’s still an hierarchical, and somewhat militaristic, society.
It also followed the old scifi serial blueprint they were used to.
Yeah I thought about the Kirk-Uhura kiss but two things, they aren’t currently openly saying that shouldn’t be allowed (on Fox News) and considering she was a Yeoman or a Lieutenant at the time being kissed by her Captain is right along the “grab em by the pussy” narrative they side with.
You are right if they looked at any of the social establishments that the franchise embraces they would hate it.

They were being forced to kiss by telepathic aliens. They both even admit they have had feelings for each other in the past but it was inappropriate to act on them. I don’t think that applies.

Fox News should absolutely loathe that.

You know what I had forgotten those details. Good recall!
I’ve watched a lot of TOS in my life.
