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

Late 30s here- it blows my mind that we don’t have to look very far into that past for the Shatner/Nichols smooch to be remarkable.
It’s uplifting to me. This present world can be ugly, but it’s comforting to think that the kiss is almost mundane when compared to the present.
A win is a win!
