This is not the only place I could make an RvB reference with DS9 - I reckon there’s a “you ever wonder why we’re here” with Starfleet’s presence on DS9 🤔

    So, he doesn’t understand gender binaries, but he perfectly understands and internalizes the liberal myth that pig exists for the sake of “justice?”

    This is why the idea of a Star Trek “future” is so damn creepy to me.

      He probably does, he uses he/him pronouns, but his race simply doesn’t have gender, being amorphous blobs and all

      Liberal myth that pigs exist for the sake of justice

      He was placed in his role by a literal actual fascist general, and only stayed there because his sense of actual justice wouldn’t let him let someone else take the role and implement the Cardassian “justice” (“line up 5 random Bajorans and execute them”). This is established very early on and very explicitly. I don’t like the police institution either, but Odo is not the right tree to be barking up, and definitely not the right way to say “the Star Trek future is creepy” (He doesn’t even work for Starfleet, they just kept him on because he was well-liked in the DS9 community)
