Whoa TV producers have sex brained politics and just want shows with mass appeal, you don’t say?
Doesn’t change the fact Voyager still did better on this issue.

Does the question: “Did you somehow forget 7 of 9?” read “let’s limit the discussion to judging the women based on costumes alone” or say “Lets judge the character’s strengths based on why TV producers had them introduced”?
No, the discussion - and even the article is about how Enterprise is claiming to be “a man’s man’s version of Star Trek” a “boy’s club” and feel lucky they got in before Me Too happened.
So reiterating “Yeah, but TV producers really wanted Jeri Ryan to look sexy” doesn’t change the topic.

The question was did I forget about 7 of 9…
…the answer is no, and that Voyager came before Enterprise and wasn’t nearly as sexist. There’s just no two ways around that.
Voyage wins hands down, leaving Enterprise still being written about as a masculine “Boys Club” or frat house version of Star Trek.

Whose whole character arc is about the female trauma of losing control of ones body and having it occasionally violated?..
…with a large dose of how to connect with your mother figures, even when one is being a bit of a Borg queen?
No, I didn’t forget, and it’s great that Voyager hit some gender specific trauma stuff consistently with 7 of 9.

Enterprise was ridiculously “Tits out for the boys” and it was a really weird direction to go after Voyager. Like Enterprise had some dumb dumb shit, frat boy type stuff.
Characters in their underwear for quarantine, women’s shirts slipping off because they were crawling around in the vent system. Stuff that didn’t make sense and was played for Scooby Doo style laughs.
It’s all part of why it’s bad.

It’s a good sign, make the message reliably repeatable - remember how you did it. It’s your path out of being tracked.
I’ve had this happening more and more recently as the tracking has been tightened up.

No, I’ve lived before this when it was cooler than this, and that was part of my lifetime too.

This Government is anti-science.
They’ve slashed the CSIRO and other science organisations because they want corporations in those roles in time for “The Big Build” so they can divert government funds to their usual masters.
They’re anti-science on some many fronts because of that. Ignoring that censorship doesn’t work and is unpopular. Ignoring that vapes are likely safer than tobacco. Ignoring that weed is safer than alcohol.
Modern Labor are being dunces. Worse it’s targetted against the population, we’re the ones who will have to live with the consequences.
- Comment on OpenAI's 'Jailbreak-Proof' New Models? Hacked on Day One 2 weeks ago:
I mean, it’s fundamental to LLM technology that they listen to user inputs. Those inputs are probablistic in terms of their effects on outputs… So you’re always going to be able to manipulate the outputs, which is kind of the premise of the technology.
It will always be prone to that sort of jailbreak. Feed it vocab, it outputs vocab. Feed it permissive vocab, it outputs permissive vocab.

- Comment on Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 4 | SDCC Surprise 4 weeks ago:
What kind of Star Trek, does it get uber and blatantly philosophical like TOS?
Or is it more philosophy with high stakes adventures and 80s carpet/comfort wholesome times, like TNG?
Or is more geopolitics and spy shit with Holocaust commentary like DS9?
Or is it, awww fuck, let the matriarchy blow it all up and break all the rules like Voyager?
Because they’re the only Star Treks (and Lower Decks) I recognized.
So if it’s the “Aren’t space American cute” bullshit of Enterprise, or the Netflix lens flares and force fed luke warm politics of Discovery - then I’m not really interested.
P.S I have no comment on the JJ Abrams stuff.
