I thought it was appropriate to the tag at the end of your little gatekeeping rant.
As someone who’s been watching Trek since before TNG, I’ve seen arguments like yours applied to nearly every new iteration of the franchise from TNG to the modern day.
I’m not on Reddit, I don’t know how the fandom is, but on Reddit I’d say “now queue the down votes and bans” because new trek fans there apparently don’t like people who remember what star trek was.
I'm not sure Soong-type android applies to Fred, and I'm certain it doesn't fit Dahj.
Unfortunately it's not clear just how indistinguishable from life Fred was. We know Dahj and the other Coppelius synths passed for human. Even Picard, though there was clearly some differences. With Fred, though, Culber pulled up the graphic of his internal works, and it didn't look like he's a meat robot. However, if he was closer to Data and Lore, I don't think getting shot in the chest would have been enough to kill him. Data's detached head was stuck in a mine on Earth for about 450 years and worked just fine after being reattached to his body, but I get the distinct impression that Fred wouldn't take decapitation so well.
I mean, if he was, he certainly isn't now....
Wasn’t that just Wesley Crusher?
When Gates McFadden was 13?
Ah, that's too bad.
Is the new "Night Court" any good? I really enjoyed the show as a kid, but haven't taken the time to check out the reboot.
Yeah, the recent Trek comics have been a lot of fun. Hopefully you enjoy this one!

"Day of Blood," Chapter Four. Thousands of years ago, Kahless the Unforgettable led his people to glory and raised an empire of honor. But his clone, Kahless II, has gone too far, murdering innocents in cold blood and hungering for power that can no longer be sated by Qo'noS and the Klingon people. He now stands alongside Alexander in front of Worf and Sisko, pitting father and son against each other and making a mockery of the Bajoran Prophets and their emissary. Meanwhile, the power of the Orb of Destruction surges from his ship above. Can Kahless be stopped, or will he once again prove to be the greatest warrior of them all? Find out in the penultimate chapter of the crossover between Star Trek and Star Trek: Defiant!

Well adjusted nerds when there's a tv show they don't like:
Personally I also really disliked PIC, but I simply choose to be normal and move on with my life.
