S1E3 - Liberal Ideals vs Extreme Left Ideals?


Liberal agenda attacking the more extreme cases of liberal transgenderism. There are actually parents out there wanting to dictate the gender of their child when they're still a baby rather than indoctrinate them with liberal ideals first to get them to choose a gender for themselves as early as 4-8 yo or whenever they suddenly 'feel' they don't belong in this body/role/gender/whatever it is that makes them magical. Personally I think they should only get to choose once they reach an age of maturity but even then they'd be probably too filled with their liberal parents messaging.

-Funny how they picked the movie that would sway his mind (Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer) of all the movies they could bring to him.
-The baby looked blacker than the parents themselves, lol.
-They used Alara (cheated) to prove their point that women can do anything when the species aren't even the same. She was born with super human strength like the rest of her kind.
-Tribunal went full feminist with the commander using the pilot as an excuse for asking questions he obviously wouldn't know then calling him an idiot (as if it was his job to know).
-They could magically sneak out of the tribunal with no one following or tracking them to find a sole surviving female? Lawl!

This ep went full liberal agenda.

I'd drop this show if it weren't the only show in space not doing re-runs or playing on my nostalgia. Waiting on ST: Discovery in 2-3 days.

"Funny how they picked the movie that would sway his mind (Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer) of all the movies they could bring to him."
The rudolph thing is not a compelling argument enough to sway him. I think that was silly since Rudoplh's difference actually had a usable ability. The ability to act as head lights.

"The baby looked blacker than the parents themselves, lol."
Because they didn't want to use the tone of makeup on the black infant to make her match their tones.

"They used Alara (cheated) to prove their point that women can do anything when the species aren't even the same. She was born with super human strength like the rest of her kind."
Yea they seemed to miss the whole point that the child would be pretty much a totally different species living amoung an all make species. Like they don't consider that the kid is being forced to live as an Alien amoungst his population. If this species really had genders (Calling them all make is not even correct as they are a sexual) I could see the point but they had no genders so this would be complet corrective surgery like removing webbed fingers. Does any one ever declare "We should wait till the child is older to decide if we can cut their webbed fingers." The captains dismissal of the webbed nose argument is pretty shallow for a species that is neither male nor female. And we all know the shows not gonna bother making the distinction as what passes as a male and female in a sexless species thats pretty moronic for the writers to act like its a contraversy.

We are of the same mind but I wanted to mention something, not sure if you meant to say asexual or if spellcheck got you but the Mochlan do reproduce sexually.

"Mochlan do reproduce sexually. "
WTF like how?

Episode tells you.

I don't want to have to rewatch it danm. I'll just google it.

Yea I looked it up on TV Tropes they seem to be arguing about it too. But I agree with the assertion if each member of the species is both male and female then their declaration that they are all male is a purely cultural choice. There like that weird fish species the sex flips cause eggs are biologically too expensive to produce in just females. I'd never consider them all male or all female.

reply

Those weird fish have two sexes. A hermaphrodite is born with both male and female sex organs at the same time. They reproduce sexually, which means two individuals contribute generic material. Asexual reproduction is basically when an individual clones itself.

reply

I'm with you on this. I'm saying that if this is the case I don't get why the species was declared to be all male when they are all hermaphrodites.

Lazy writing or ignorant writers.
