Thinky thoughts: ST XI Genderflippage stuf
So, I have been reading a lot of meta on STXI's female characters/lack of and then copios amounts of genderflippy pr0n at the kink meme.
Of course this leads to thinky thoughts.
I thought "Who haven't we genderflipped?" Pretty much. And came up on...
Captain Robau.
This made me think. He could very well have been a female captain in the movie. Same level of pic badassery, right? (note: I have no bloody clue what was established about him in ToS/Novel canon, i am going by Memory Alpha here)
And then I thoght about it.
No. It wold not happen that wah. She would not have been a Memetic Badass. In fact, she would get many, many complaints. Basicay smming up girl!Robau as "disposable woman" instead of any kind of memetic badas.
And that? Is epic suck.
I donöt realy know what to say about this. Other than it aqnnoys me, it sucks, and smacks of doble standard. I am not very goo with thinky thoghts I canpt rally rticlate well al the implications of this paticlar what-if.
