had no goddang clue the cat was a preexisting thing from an older trek
they did Orions real good with Lower Decks focusing on their cultural deceitfulness & piractical pretensions while underlining that Tendi did not conform to those racial stereotypes. instead of focusing on green space sex-object like previous appearances of orions have been about
Yeah. On the other hand I know a lot of lesbians/Bi/etc for whom Star Trek Space Babes were their first clue something was up. Yeah...definitely not me... :side-eye-1:
The leadership of DS9's production was so creepy and misogynistic that Jadzia's character was killed off because she wouldn't fuck the aforementioned creep. :warf-wtf:
I didn't like the change but I was sort of glad in a way that they were able to explore the transition from host to host. But they executed it so halfass and so hastily, that it seems like a lot of the episodes were planned for Jadzia - and now I know why, because it was some creep shit that blindsided all the writers and so on.
It was an extension of sexpest adventurism across the planet which amounted to "local people have a slightly different skin color and colonial laws apply differently to them and don't protect them, therefore :awooga: :us-foreign-policy: :hypersus: "
People still behave this way about cat girls, or any kind of anthro animal-person. The concept that they would be lesser minded and that laws would apply differently to them.
Just reminded myself of the /r/socialism drama when they banned catgirls. Glad I wasn't a mod that made that decision.

:my-hero: has had a long standing "haha just kidding... unless" thing going where he talks about his desire for "genetically engineered catgirls for domestic use." :JB-shining-aggro:
I've said this before to reactionary weebs and other sexpest creeps: "so you want a fusion of cat and human traits. Have you ever seen what cats do when someone touches them when they don't want to be touched?" :knifecat:
I'm not actually sure what cat traits they think would transfer over, if any, outside of ears and tails that can easily be worn as external accessories, no genetic grafting required.
I guess them saying they want people genetically designed to be ignorant and docile wouldn't be as socially acceptable for the time being. :kombucha-disgust:

It's not...they stapled Larry Niven's Kzinti onto TAS for no reason other than someone liked Niven. They don't belong in the universe and I thought they had been rightfully expelled back to where they came from
Oh, it's a one-off species called a "felinoid" that never appeared again.
That's actually better. It was going to be worse if they had a Kzinti crew member. I fricken' hate how they did that. I encountered the Kzinti in Starfleet Battles, and was baffled why they were there. I was like, "They're not a Star Trek race!" But then people were like, "Kzinti are cool, what's your problem?" Reruns of TAS weren't on TV and we didn't have the entire archive of old TV on demand like we do now.

So strange that "just a totally normal person but green" was consistently hypersexualized

SciFi has a long tradition of "controversial thing can be explored somewhat... because it's in space." Your story checks out there.
Jadzia is a trans and lesbian meme for a reason.

That sucks so fucking much holy shit

Yeah, I know allll about "Berman Trek". It's shocking they accomplished what they did.

I wonder if this ends up in the "violent rhetoric" statistics.

Sometimes they get the point at least a little.
And do you want to clean human sized puke out of your shoes?

Has to be 50 words
:jesse-wtf: why? what struggle session could people have over the political implications of anime catgirls?
It's not...they stapled Larry Niven's Kzinti onto TAS for no reason other than someone liked Niven. They don't belong in the universe and I thought they had been rightfully expelled back to where they came from
Lt. M'Ress was present before Niven's actual Kzinti showed up in TAS. She was voiced and partially designed by Majel Barrett herself.
