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

      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:

        SciFi has a long tradition of "controversial thing can be explored somewhat... because it's in space." Your story checks out there.

            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:

              That sucks so fucking much holy shit

              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.

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

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

              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:

              Sometimes they get the point at least a little.

                And do you want to clean human sized puke out of your shoes?

                  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:
