Tfw you have to save the world but not until after ‘you’ apply a full face of makeup

(The only way I could possibly accept this is if they’re like, literally leaving a gala or something, like she just came out of an interview with a talk show host, something, otherwise ffs the Russos turned her into that thread about dudes waxing poetic about ‘women who don’t wear makeup’ and they use pictures of women in full face)

But it’s not about the makeup itself. It’s about the male misunderstanding of the purpose makeup serves and their fundamental misunderstanding of female characters. Someone as image-conscious as the Black Widow would do this. Captain Grunge over there would not. In a medium where they’re using visual storytelling, they’re telling the wrong story.

I don’t get this???

That guy in the middle is Rick Berman, the man (mostly) responsible for snuffing out every hint of homosexuality in any Star Trek character. He worked against it, he said no, there should be no gay people in space. Characters suggested to be gay are often instead made that extra bit of uncomfortable pushy heterosexual, just to make a point.

As a result, where Star Trek has a lot of the time been the first, pushing the boundaries, Star Trek was instead the last. A gay character was not introduced until 2017 and this, here, is the first time ever someone has said that they’re gay on screen in a Star Trek series. 2019.

So fuck Rick Berman. Fuck him and his homophobic, reactionary ass.

(He also treated actresses like shit and was responsible for firing Terry Farrell when she wanted the same deal as Colm Meaney, but this is specifically about the homophobia).

Oh wow. Thank you for explaining! Could you elaborate on that last thing? I haven’t heard about that either.

Here’s a quote by Terry Farrell from “The Fifty Year Mission”:

681 votes and 464 comments so far on Reddit

So yeah, he’s a misogynist as well as a homophobe. He’s the worst.

He was also a major reason why Wil Wheaton left TNG, which you can hear more about on his episode of the Mission Log Podcast:

On today's Mission Log, the inevitable interview with Wil Wheaton. Wil talks to us about a range of topics from early TOS fandom to leaving

While I’m at it, I may as well mention a couple specific instances of Berman’s homophobia:

- He told Andrew Robinson (Garak) to “tone down” his portrayal when it became clear that he was flirting with Bashir. In later seasons of DS9, their screentime together is significantly reduced and they were both given female love interests, presumably because the producers couldn’t risk people thinking they could be gay.

- When Kate Mulgrew (Janeway) pushed for a gay character on Voyager, Berman said “In due time” and then never followed through. He had no intention of ever creating a gay character on Star Trek, despite support from several actors.

- A script was written for an episode of TNG called “Blood and Fire”, which was supposed to be an AIDS metaphor and have 2 minor, background gay characters. Berman shot it down, and it was never filmed.

I’m sure there’s more, but that’s what I can think of right now. Fuck Rick Berman.

keeper-of-the-flames

Wooooow. Yeah fuck that asshole.

YEP

Rick Berman is a disgusting bigoted piece of trash and I am SO GLAD that this filth has no control over any form of Star Trek media anymore

Also, a lot of stuff I attributed to Brannon Bragga is proving to be hugely mistaken, thanks to his work on The Orville. So it seems like Bragga’s terrible writing, and bad messaging comes down to Berman hobbling him. (that, or Bragga has evolved heavily on a lot of subjects, on top of becoming a significantly better writer).

I still find it amazing that Berman let an episode where Riker falls in love with a gender queer woman actually happen.

captaincrusher

He let it happen, sure - but Jonathan Frakes wanted Soren to be played by a male actor. Which would have made a bigger impact, considering it was supposed to be an allegory about homosexuality.

But who shot down that idea? Yeah, you guessed it.

“Having Riker engaged in passionate kisses with a male actor might have been a little unpalatable to viewers.” - Rick Berman

Another thing: Lieutenant Hawk from First Contact was written as a gay character in the novels. The novels’ author Andy Mangels was told, by people at Paramount if I’m recalling the story correctly, to get it to press before Berman could see it or it would have been squashed.
