ds9 fans blaming rick berman for all the misogyny & homophobia in ds9 is getting a little old tbh like i have no doubt he played a significant part in the misogyny & homophobia but it wasn’t JUST him. he didn’t do that all by himself. especially not on ds9 which he was less involved in after the first few seasons cause he was working on voyager & the tng movies. a tv show isn’t made by 1 person and it takes a culture of misogyny & homophobia among the writers, producers, etc to have that be very present onscreen. blaming it all on berman is easy and fun but it’s not an accurate picture of what actually happened. the misogyny & homophobia in ds9 come from a lot of sources, and berman is a significant one, but he’s not the only one
ALTfuuuuuuuuck
