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:
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.
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.

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

Jadzia is a trans and lesbian meme for a reason.

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.

Has to be 50 words
