The way I see it, we have enough going on elsewhere in this timeline where I’m willing to settle on this compromise 😅

Seems he was exaggerating for a joke and basically saying that he was too dumb to grasp the political metaphors in Trek.
Crisis averted!

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?

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?
- Comment on It's sad that people completely misunderstand what Star Trek is about. 2 weeks ago:
Huh? How is Stamets supposed to know if nobody tells him?
- Comment on It's sad that people completely misunderstand what Star Trek is about. 2 weeks ago:
OK sure but I’m saying is there anything on screen to support your claim other than this very brief line of dialogue?
- Comment on It's sad that people completely misunderstand what Star Trek is about. 2 weeks ago:
I mean 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”?
As far as I know, the ONLY time it’s mentioned is the very short line of dialogue in my original comment. I’m struggling to see how it could be considered as any LESS of a “big deal”. Certainly not “yelling from the rooftops”.

Nothing from the show itself? A script or youtube clip?
- Comment on It's sad that people completely misunderstand what Star Trek is about. 2 weeks ago:
What does “forced inclusion” mean? What makes it different from regular inclusion?
- Comment on It's sad that people completely misunderstand what Star Trek is about. 2 weeks ago:
I don’t believe any of this is supported by what we saw on screen. Do you have evidence to support these claims? Maybe just a line of dialogue for each claim?
- Comment on It's sad that people completely misunderstand what Star Trek is about. 2 weeks ago:
the term “forced inclusion,” which I didn’t raise.
…this you?
I can’t reply qualitatively unless you explain which part confuses you.
The part that confuses me is what “forced inclusion” means and what makes it different from regular inclusion.
- Comment on It's sad that people completely misunderstand what Star Trek is about. 2 weeks ago:
Your examples provided made no mention of “forced inclusion” or what makes it different from regular inclusion.
- Comment on It's sad that people completely misunderstand what Star Trek is about. 2 weeks ago:
Your two examples didn’t explain what “forced inclusion” means and what makes it different from regular inclusion.
- Comment on It's sad that people completely misunderstand what Star Trek is about. 2 weeks ago:
It is exactly that. Same with the meltdowns over Adira.
- Comment on It's sad that people completely misunderstand what Star Trek is about. 2 weeks ago:
Your explanation didn’t explain what “forced inclusion” means and what makes it different from regular inclusion. Maybe you could give an example of each from Star Trek?
- Comment on It's sad that people completely misunderstand what Star Trek is about. 2 weeks ago:
For instance, the script may be as blunt as a character saying “Wow, I can’t believe you made it this far despite being a [marginalized out-group]
Ok makes sense but did SFA do that? If so, when?
- Comment on It's sad that people completely misunderstand what Star Trek is about. 2 weeks ago:
yeah sure so im curious to know what “forced inclusion” means and how we’re supposed to tell it apart from regular inclusion.
- Comment on It's sad that people completely misunderstand what Star Trek is about. 2 weeks ago:
I saw that but I didn’t see anything about what makes inclusion “forced” in one series but not in another.
- Comment on It's sad that people completely misunderstand what Star Trek is about. 2 weeks ago:
some people believe that star trek discovery had a story arc about a character coming out as non-binary.
- Comment on It's sad that people completely misunderstand what Star Trek is about. 2 weeks ago:
Uhh Kirk and Uhura were most definitely not in a relationship, they were forced to kiss against their will.
- Comment on It's sad that people completely misunderstand what Star Trek is about. 2 weeks ago:
Lol “muddy” about sums it up
- Comment on It's sad that people completely misunderstand what Star Trek is about. 2 weeks ago:
That’s a lot of words to not provide a single example from a show of what makes “forced inclusion” different than “inclusion”
- Comment on It's sad that people completely misunderstand what Star Trek is about. 2 weeks ago:
I like how in Discovery a character came out as non-binary and everyone is like “ok cool” and that was that and it was never brought up again (because why would it be)?
You can tell by the absolute meltdown conservative spaces had about that five second clip that it was absolutely the right thing to do.
- Comment on It's sad that people completely misunderstand what Star Trek is about. 2 weeks ago:
Are you one of those people who believes Discovery had a coming out as nonbinary plot
