        When I was a kid watching TNG with my parents, my father would sometimes say things like “Man, that guy is too handsome” when Riker was on screen.

      I also don’t think the TNG cast is particularly overly-emotional.

      Plus TNG didn’t retcon Klingon appearance, it had been that way for like 10 years already by that point, from the TOS films.

        The TNG cast is pretty human. They don’t avoid anger, happiness, frustration, empathy, sexual tension, etc.

        To the chuds of 4chan, showing a normal range of human emotion is over emotional, which this greentext is mocking.

      First one that comes to mind is “The Outcast”. Not really gay, but for anyone who is triggered by anything different they would consider it “woke”.

        Frakes claims that he lobbied for his love interest in The Outcast to be played by a male actor, but queerphobe Berman nixed it.

      Yeah, I was gonna say I don’t remember anybody being gay in TNG. Am I missing something?

      Oh, and IMO the cast of TNG is the opposite of emotional. They are calm and collected 90% of the time. 5% is Riker being horny, and the other 5% is Picard losing his shit over the amount of lights or something.
