    Oh, that was all my own take from an external observer’s viewpoint.

    They would likely just stop at “bugs bunny = good because I like it” and refuse to engage critically past that.

    I was sent to the principal for doing my HTML homework for a web design class in the library because the librarian accused me of hacking.

    I was told by the superintendent of the school district’s IT department to never do that again.

    Obama was fresh out of his tan suit debacle.

    My immediate response is “Eh.”

    Here, it’s portrayed as a joke in a way that is presented such that the humor is derived from how obviously Bugs is not a woman and is the same rabbit that he’s hunting, and that Elmer is really really dumb for falling for it. I don’t believe that transphobes would decry this depiction, even today, because it aligns with their sensibilities.








  • I mean, he wasn’t an LLM. Dude had a distinct personality, even if it was composed of two others. I don’t see this kind of disdain for the Trill.

    Edit: I think the decision to kill Tuvix was the right one, in the circumstances that Voyager was in. If they were in Federation space, the issue would have been far tricker, and more may have been attempted. I feel that the Federation’s largest asset is near-complete access to basically any resource, so to my mind the whole point of the episode (and Voyager in general) was seeing a post-scarcity society be forced to deal with the cruel calculus of necessity.

    It feels like interpreting Tuvix as a non-person with no identity or voice cheapens the message of the episode in a way that seems directly contradictory to the greater philosophy of the universe depicted. I don’t think Janeway was satisfied with her decision, I don’t think anyone was, and I think there’s value in holding on to that dissatisfaction and using it to shape their actions going forward, and that absolving that decision of it’s full weight would in many ways make the values of the Federation ring more hollow to me.
