I choose to imagine this is Guinan's nickname around the ship when she's not giving Picard or another crew member advice.

Oh I haven't had a working PC since before Christmas and I'm not doing all that on my phone. I'd rather just wait and see it on my regular screen.

I have, up until I was too broke to keep Paramount. I think I've only missed the last season.

I don't see the terms as mutually exclusive. They're pretty closely related.

As for the last bit, that's exactly what I was getting at. Denying the potential for that is what I said was what the only perceived point/reason of denying their humanity.

That said, forgiveness is the last thing I'm willing to offer. I do believe they don't deserve to live. They're the quintessential group that I wouldn't piss on em if they were on fire.

I don't know how to work out exactly what grounds to use for it, but it should be up there with mass murder with sentencing. I'm not even opposed to using them for medical research for things that would be unethical in any other way. The opportunity for corruption though is so high I don't think that's practical.

Yeah I felt the same about them as I did him and Miles. I could be forgetting something, but I just didn't get (or remember, is been about 12 years since I watched it) the sensation he wanted to bang anyone except Jadzia. Even Ezri he just wanted to be best friends with.

Now that you mention it, the name Bareil does ring a bell. And the Odo pairing sounds vaguely familiar too.

Not sure what this is in reference to, honestly. I may have heard his name when the safe happened, but I never actually watched the clip of it's something to do with that. I just heard mentions of it later.

Personally, that was the first I ever heard of him. Given my age and his complete irrelevance to anything I cared about (basically just computers and cartoons) at the time, I had no reason to.

Honestly I still don't know much about him, mostly because I don't care. But everyone loves an epic fail story.

But then we wouldn't still be laughing at that twat.

I feel like (fuzzy memory of DS9 here, so feel free to slap me with facts) Bashir seemed more biromantic than bisexual. I never got the feeling he wanted inside Miles' pants. He just wanted to spend all his time with him.

Definitely not lesbian. Put Reno there for sure.

I don't know how to categorize Dax. I don't think we know enough about the symbionts to even know if they're sexual at all, much less how they fit in the sexual spectrum. (or at least if we do, I don't remember. I wasn't friendly to the spectrum myself last time I watched DS9. I still shudder at the memory of who I was brainwashed to be)

I don't remember what we knows about Kira, but she always seemed like she had very lesbian energy to me. Again, it's been since 2013 since I've watched that show, so I bet it was revealed, but I can't remember myself. But whatever she is, you gotta admit she seems like she could be.

I keep empathy for people who are misled and have been intentionally confused, but the line I see gets drawn when they have been educated and still choose to be a fascist/Nazi. If they're fully versed in it and are still advocating for it and taking actions on behalf of it, then I lose empathy.

The problem becomes making that determination. But while I draw a line for dehumanization there, I still support death penalty just for being one (as in taking actions that are clearly intended to support or promote the belief. Keeping a known and verified Nazi alive will never be beneficial in any way at all to anyone but other Nazis.

The only real benefit to dehumanization at all is having a way to tell yourself that you're not included in a species with that possibility.

But setting a burden of evidence for and being convicted of just being a Nazi/fascist should be grounds for execution in every country.
