@MotoAsh@Lwaxana I think DS9 writers cared al lot more than Discos ones. Like, Sisko was misgendering Dax almost every time he addressed her (it wasn’t serious as it was made obvious it was fine between them, but it was present in almost every episode). And Kor corrects himself quickly when Dax says she is Jadzia now, while the other klingons need more time to accept her. Meanwhile in Disco I only remember one instance of “I’d rather be addressed as this” “sure!”.
Yes absolutely! Well said. Progressive themes shined through in the writing, but on-screen the characters never made a big deal out of it. That’s been very Star Trek since the days of TOS. An episode like “Let that be your Last Battlefield” would have a shoved-down-your-throat antiracist message, but it was a metaphor and not directly about Uhura, who’s race was never discussed.
Well, except that one time by space Abraham Lincoln.
