  • i don't think that ever happened

  • And the one time they finally gave a single throwaway line to the fact that enbys exist, quote-unquote "progressives" suddenly clutch their pearls over it.

  • Listen, you got the job done not to mention this meme is specifically about how nitpicking representation is harmful to representation.

  • There are a lot of people out there who are "totally ok with the gays" but put such a high bar on what constitutes acceptable representation that it starts to feel like bigotry by omission.

  • I tried to work in a Pa'nar syndrome one but it was too clunky. I appreciate how you just slapped "HIV ALLEGORY" on it 😂

  • Nope they're just hanging at Quark's

  • I appreciate how The Verge has been consistently covering the Fediverse.

  • 100% this is a great idea

  • I'm discussing canon and "off-screen" is definitionally not canon. Canonically, it's hard for me to see Adira's gender as anything other than an extremely small side detail about the character as it's only brought up that one single time in passing.

  • Hm I don't remember that. Can you point me to a line of dialogue or anything outside of that (again extremely brief) clip I posted to support your argument?

  • A lot of big names here!

  • I love these semi-smart phones coming out but none of them check all the boxes for me. The Light Phone has maps on it now which makes it the best, IMO.

  • Got it, you're saying you are happy to see the inclusion of a non-binary character, just upset that it wasn't communicated a few episodes earlier?

  • Huh? How is Stamets supposed to know if nobody tells him?

    EDIT: Also Uhura's Blackness and femaleness were most certainly addressed in-universe in a longer scene than I shared above.

  • Where is it reflected in canon that Adira was "afraid" to come out, keeping their gender a "secret", or otherwise had to "work up courage"?

    Again, just a single line of dialogue or anything from the show that illustrates that the topic was covered more than that scene I linked to in my initial comment.

  • Do these have actual human djs? Not a criticism, just wondering

  • Nothing from the show itself? A transcript or youtube clip?
