honestly I don't get people who make comparisons with tos and expect the characters be the same well knowing it's literally another universe and another story.
I mean, Guinevere wasn't a black girl in the original tale and Merlin was so old that he could been Aurthur's grandpa. surely not a teenage boy. Elementary changed the sex and ethnicity of Dr Watson turning him into Lucy Liu. Disney made canon a relationship between the real Pocahontas and John Smith that historically could have never happened because she was just a little girl when she met him. They gave a happy end to the little mermaid even though Andersen had wanted her to die in the end (and it really was a story about unrequited love). Nolan had created a relationship between Bruce and Rachel whose character didn't even exist in canon.
Don't even let me start about 90% of the movie adaptations of "The Count of Monte Cristo" where he ends up with Mercedes even though in the real story he stayed with princess Haydée instead.

At least Abrams&co created their own alternate reality.

My problem with AOS is the fact that the characters have changed SO MUCH. And that the plotlines don't reference back to what Star Trek stood for in the first place (equality, space travel, not destroying civilizations in their youth or at least realizing the cost of what they did, more than just lens flare).

Also, people argue about all the things you just said. Just because Abrams and co created their own alternate reality doesn't mean that they can't treat women in better in this history or make a movie that isn't almost exactly like the first one or white wash. I still like the movies for what they are (action flick), but they have major problems.
