For me, it wasn’t so much the diversity, it was that everyone seemed to be struggling with their diverse identity. It’s the 23rd century, people should not be uncomfortable with their identities anymore, ESPECIALLY the crew of an advanced space ship. It just seems that rather than a professional crew that we see in every other Star Trek show, they decided to pack this one with a bunch of high schoolers struggling to figure out who they are. For fuck sakes, the ship itself starts having an identity crisis at one point.
Discovery, especially the last 2 seasons are very, very inclusive. Which pisses some people off.
Next to that everything is debated. Sometimes way too long. And if you cant look past that it’s sure to annoy you very much.
Lol at people getting uppity over diversity. Like, that’s Star Treks’ most defining characteristics.

My push back would be that the crew is from pre utopia federation. I think your take is reasonable though
It’s only 10 years before TOS. Earth and the federation were already post capitalism utopias.
