HOW says DS9 is about hierarchy, meritocracy, and self-improvement.
DS9 isn't about hierarchy, you liar.
Stop twisting to fit the narrative.
HOW: So not woke?
He woke. The author said so.
There are the same complaints about "woke" regarding DS9.
HOW: You say, "What a fucking tourist thinking non-Mirror Kira was bi?"
You are the one fucking tourist.
The author said so."
"Actually, 'DS9' is arguably one of the most effective critiques of the concepts you just listed. It shows a utopia (the Federation) that tries to operate on those principles, only to be completely outmaneuvered by the realpolitik of the Gamma Quadrant. The show’s entire thesis is that hierarchy leads to corruption (Section 31), meritocracy ignores systemic inequality (the genetic alteration of the Jem'Hadar vs. the Federation's natural birth), and self-improvement is a privilege, not a universal option. Sisko literally has to become a war criminal (poisoning a planet) to protect that 'enlightened' society. If you watched it and only saw a promo for self-help culture, you missed the point."
