Ah if thats the case, then that’s fine, I can accept that. I guess I’ll have to deep dive into this issue because I was under the assumption that the claim was the writers wanted him bisexual, which given the attitude of the writers, I seriously doubt.
They didn’t think it, but the disturbing implication is they’re in the closet and hiding their sexuality. Not really a great vision of the future, is it?
Yeah I didn’t like that they made Seven gay in Picard, because why not just make a new queer character instead of changing a once straight character into a gay one?
Just an example that came to mind. It said that “Tale of Two Topas” was a message against treating trans children. Talk about a bizarre interpretation of an obvious allegory toward trans rights.
You’re correct, but conservative fans didn’t get it until the third season (and even then some didn’t get it, read the Bounding into Comics reviews of the season for example).
I don’t believe they did want it that way though. Ron Moore said way back in 2001, 2002 or so that the DS9 writing staff didn’t care at all about LGBT issues at the time, and so I find it hard to believe they were planning to have a gay relationship on DS9.
They’re heterosexual if they exclusively pursue heterosexual relationships and show not an inkling of being anything else. Anything else is just desperate fan-wishing.
