I mean they did the lower decks episode with junior officers, but even they were the top rung, directly mentored by the senior staff. But, honestly this show looks a more accurate representation of ship life than the show ever did.
Life on a 24th century ship shouldn't be the same as life on a modern ship. That'd be like if sailors from the 1700s thought that life on a modern ship would involve endless disease, literal starvation for months on end, and general crustiness, and the occasional "swashbuckle" or two.
I don't doubt your experiences, but no matter how accurate LD may reflect that experience, that's not the experience which has been established to occur on Starfleet vessels.

I'd agree, but historically that's not the case. we have archeological evideenxd of mom jokes dating back to the roman empire. pictures of "The Greatest Generation" pretending bazookas as their dicks. As much as society changes, human nature stays largely the same.
What has been established has been what its like for the Bridge Crew. The whole point is its not about them, its about the lower decks where all the shenanigans happen.

Do note that relatively redshirts had a better survival rate than most other crewmembers - just because there were so damn many of them.
But plotarmour indeed is strong.

I'm not looking forward to Kurtzman's new "expanded universe".
So what makes DSC and PIC threats to Rod's vision, but the darker parts of DS9 weren't?

Well..were they wrong?
But Startrek indeed always was political. Hence why it had a white man and a black woman kiss, added a Russian on the bridge and had engineering be run by handicapped people (be that missing a finger or being blind).

This would depend on whether 'doofus' is a second declension masculine noun or not.
[snip for brevity]
Anyone pointing out that 'doofus' isn't attested in North American English until the 1960s, and I am therefore simply making things up, will of course be cheerfully ignored.

Most Latin nouns ending in -us are indeed second declension, and therefore would take the plural ending -i. However, some third declension neuter nouns also end in -us (eg opus, plural opera), and some fourth declension nouns - both masculine and feminine - similarly end in -us (eg tribus, plural tribūs).
Since both men and women can be a doofus, my recommendation is to treat it as a third declension neuter noun; the plural would therefore be 'doofera': 'the Federation? Reactionary doofera'.
