And it was a scene of, what, 30 seconds where they stated what their pronouns were, then it was never mentioned again? How is that focusing too much on it?
You’re not suppose to mention it.
Unless everyone’s a mind reader, nobody’s going to know what a person’s pronouns are unless they tell them. They did, and that was that.
It was several scenes. Mostly between the doctor and Stamets. More than “30 seconds”.
No other character stated their pronouns, so how am I supposed to know everyone elses? The same way people figured it out since day 1. And here’s an easy way for us to know. Other characters can call him by it, and then we’ll know. Not everything has to be outright stated on camera for the audience to figure it out.
I’m only aware of this scene. What others are there? Stamets misgenders them at 0:09 and they’re done with the scene around 0:48, so you’re right, it was about 40 whole seconds.
I am frequently just… astonished to be honest, how often it’s repeated that it was a “major plot arc” or “multiple scenes” when it was, (as you pointed out) so brief. And it doesn’t ever seem to sway anyone’s opinion when this fact is pointed out!
“They made an entire episode about nonbinary people”
“The one in TNG?”
“No, Discovery”
“There was a single 40 second scene”
“Are you trolling? It was shoved down our throats”
*their, not his
