The Federation is helping a planet transition out of capitalism to post-scarcity, and it’s basically a huge celebration.

    One of the good plots from DS9 was Keiko O’Brien fighting against then-Vedek Winn to keep reactionary religion from fucking up science education.

    We barely got any Keiko after that though, especially in her role as a teacher. Not grim dark adults in the room enough for Berman.

      Agreed, and I think that was a direct consequence of Berman’s hatred for children in general and “Adult In The Room” self-identification.

        Which reminds me actually, one of the worst Star Trek opinions I’ve ever seen from a hexbear user was that Keiko should’ve had an arc of converting to the Bajoran faith. Just doubling down on the character assassination Berman already did to her.
