There’s 2 kinds of people in Trek fandom:
- The sane people who know Berman sucks and her outfit is a known unfortunate symptom - we just pretend Seven had real clothes.
- “I liiiike Seven of Nine” - creepy gen X white guys who just watch Trek for boobs and lasers.
-
Option number 2 describes my ex-wife. Generalizing to “creepy gen x white guys” is your own bias. The most lecherous comments I have heard about seven in real life have come from the mouth of a female scientist.

Ummm... actshually they are called "phasers" in the Star Trek universe. You see... the difference is that...
-
It was actually an attempt to use indirect characterization - by using "lasers" instead of "phasers", it shows that the demographic I am describing only pays attention to the superficial aesthetic of Star Trek rather than its meaning or even common technical terms in the show.
But still, I derive quite a bit of humor from your comment.

That is correct. That is a point for @OpenStars@piefed.social

Wow. You’re just going to exclude creepy boomers like that?

Oops.

Omfg that is so bigoted!!!!

Come for the boobies and phasers (and the rare shots of female bare feet, nudity, and women kissing women), stay for the well-written hardcore sci-fi.

Option 2 was known even at the time and appears as a joke in the dilbert cartoon.

This is a clip of dilbert waking to a 7-of-9 alarm clock which proceeds to roast him.

I mean, the creator of Dilbert is basically option 2 incarnate in the most terrifying way possible, so it makes sense.
