George Takei Not Impressed By Story Change in His Honour

In the ongoing march of cultural appropriation, Star Trek's Hikaru Sulu (who was the only character shown to have a daughter in the original timeline, and who made advances on Uhura while space-drunk) is now gay--because writing new characters, and telling characters apart from the actors who played them, is hard.
