@InspectorCaracal i think most of the women in star trek do

and some of the men

@squirrel @InspectorCaracal you mean like every female Kirk subjugated with a new one every episode.

@fullywoolly @InspectorCaracal i didnt watch tos

@squirrel @InspectorCaracal me either at least not in order. What I remember was from my childhood and that definitely stood out. Even then.

Basically Spock, Scotty, and Bones were cool. Red shirts die. Kirk gets the aliens girl. Pretty much every episode.

@fullywoolly @squirrel at least 80% of the times he "gets the alien girls" he has absolutely zero consent in the situation, so

@squirrel @fullywoolly I exaggerate only a little on the consent point.

@InspectorCaracal @squirrel oh ya the "flip her around and kiss her while she struggles until she stops" maneuver.

@InspectorCaracal @squirrel ok maybe that part of my memory was bad. I just watched three minutes of compilation on YouTube and only saw a few with cringe worthy body language.

@squirrel you may be on to something 🤔

@InspectorCaracal @squirrel I always thought her relationship with Riker was actually really healthy and cool. Could've been a thing but he picked his career and disappeared. She moved on. Stationed together they accepted their feelings for what they were. Probably some friends with benefits stuff going on more often than shown. Otherwise they are both non-jealous most of the time.
