Very well could be. If I were making a show i could see myself doing that. "Hey you guys who typically like shows like this for X reason? This isn't for you. If you don't like it go find your corner of the internet to whine with other losers" that way we don't have that "The Boys" moment several seasons in where it finally clicks and they go "hey they're making fun of us!"
They're also the kind of people who whine about modern star trek being "too political". Take your pick as to whether it's because women are everywhere, people can be gay/bi/other, or even gasp black.
Subtlety is basically invisibility to them, and clearly even heavy-handed metaphors that wouldn't confuse my 2 year old nephew leave them stumped.
I'd love to talk to the writers/director to see what their thought processes were when making it, or watching an interview. I love seeing behind the scenes stuff on controversial episodes, whether I liked the episode or hated it. And I just love BTS for Stargate in general.
Shatner himself is one of those douchebros. I still can't believe that idiot tried to pretend that TOS wasn't political....
