Takei is famous for playing a character he played 50 years ago. He has little other cultural capital. If he disagreed with TQ+ talking points, he'd be canceled in an instant. If he goes along with them, he signals his virtue in their eyes.

Yes, but if he was worried about being canceled, he could just mind his business. He strikes me as someone so vapid and vain that he’s willing to do anything for attention/relevance. Who knows if he even actually believes any of this? He’s just here for the likes. Takei clearly doesn’t look around him and see which way the wind blows or he’d find another group to pander to.
