I’ll never forgive 4chan for making it cool to be a spoiled, uptight, soccer mom.
If they actually did this, the fandom will go wild. And I might actually scream.
They did we finally got an on sceen garshir kiss in Lower Decks s05e09
This type of dude will look at this and call it porn, and then watch a hallmark Christmas movie like “Hot Frosty” and call it good family fun.
wow anti-wokism is really just christian fundamentalism? you're telling me this now?
sees two guys kissing “THIS REMINDS ME OF PORN 
”
It's always projection
they always tell on themselves keek
"More extreme for dopamine hits"
literally just two men kissing.
Classic straight guy thinking
All relationships are a fetish unless they are straight and cis, apparently.
straight or porn category
cis or porn category
male or porn category
Double check to see if my ethnic background is a porn category (oh no)
This is unironically how reactionaries think
Or being Findommed by a Cybertruck.
Did these fuckers watch Deep Space 9?
The sexual tension between Garak and Dr. Bashir was so thick you could slice it with a Bat'leth!
Andrew Robinson played it like that intentionally and has said so
Until that fucker Berman forced them to drop it. Afterwards they had fewer and fewer scenes together and they both got paired off with women to ensure nobody could "misconstrue" their sexuality.
Right up to that relationship. You know the one. The fucking CREEPY one. If you know you know
you mean the one that should have gotten Bashier's medical license revoked?
That's the one, all right.
I know right? I really felt like they were gonna kiss in certain moments until I remembered that it was the 90's...
I'm working through.a first-timer watch of DS9, and there was sexual tension within seconds of their first appearance. It's the only romance the show has given me so far that has any real chemistry.
Possibly because most others involved either Sisko who had "help me" in his eyes in every relevant scene or ancient mind leech. Oh and Grand Nagus and Quark's mom which was i guess pretty wholesome for a Ferengi standards.
Don't forget about Kira and the world's stiffest priest
Oh yeah i memoryholed that one
WAIT IT"S NOW CANON YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS im so happy
They're alternate universe versions of the characters but they do say they'd love each other in any universe
aww damn still i'll take it.
A version of Garak from an alternate universe was a Starfleet surgeon serving on the Anaximander under Captain William Boimler. He was married to an Emergency Medical Hologram of Julian Bashir from a different reality. He was also a former member of the Obsidian Order, but in his universe Garak had become a surgeon rather than a Deep Space 9 tailor after his spy career was over. (LD: "Fissure Quest")
Starfleet uniform was like 10 times more suspicious than being gay with Bashir because they did flirted for like half of DS9.
They were flirting from literally the first moment they were on screen together
The actors always wanted them to fall in love, but alas it was the 90s
Frakes wanted to kiss a gender ambiguous alien who presented masc but Berman said "nope, you can have blacks and whites working together but no one is gay in the future"
iirc they did kiss, Frakes' objection was that Berman was a coward for casting a woman for the enby alien instead of a man
that's very interesting, didn't know that. they cast conventionally attractive women for most of the enby aliens. they also wrote it so that the character basically looks at the camera and goes "just so you know this isn't gay in any way because i am a woman". also the character is trans and gets conversion therapied but we're only supposed to care because it makes riker sad... i love the episode and it's fascinating for the 90s but of course ultimately manages to reify gender and the binary. i have a lot of thoughts about this episode lol
we have a critical lack of Riker emoji smdh 
Riker will forever be Number One.
Tell me you're in the closet without telling me you're in the closet.
Jeez these people just six months ago were calling Sydney Sweeney's boobies like the woke slayers or whatever. Make up your damn minds!
she's cancelled for only being smoking hot without makeup in a bikini, dont you know?
I've been seeing way too much of this shit lately and by real people irl as well, fuck the fascists spreading their propaganda like a godamn pandemic. People waste away on bullshit soul draining jobs for a system that sees them as expendable profit machines, but the thing they decide to get enraged upon and talk about is their tv series not being dominated by white straight males. This shit is so frustrating honestly 
If they said this about a highly sexualized piece of media like the Handmaiden or Mulholland Drive they'd still be wrong, but I'd at least get where they're coming from by calling them porn. But this? What do they think the word means??? Porn is when romance is shown on screen and it's not super basic cishet dynamics?
Mulholland is made by one of their favourite treatboys, they could never. Also to be real they probably get off to it.
Deep emotional connections is porn. Sorry, I don't make the rules.
you're telling me they made star trek WOKE ?!?!?!
Yup. It infected the franchise as recently as 1966 in the first episode
