Both TNG and STD have an episode focused around a social misfit character. In TNG the crew work hard to integrate him with the team and help him, he has several recurring appearances and grows as a person. In STD the misfit character is grilled by a series of HR karens, humiliated and ultimately murdered by the shows writers to own the patriarchy.
If you like I could run that through an AI voice generator and mash it on top of some subway surfer footage for you.
I'm sure the ownage was huge in your head but thanks for the summation :)
If what the person below me has replied is correct you're thinking about Murdock from The A-Team's character and then yes, society in the Federation accepts socially awkward characters and notes their ill-fitting into everyday culture but doesn't attack it and STD is a steaming pile of shit.
I would suggest not watching anything post-Enterprise as Trek has lost it's way more than it had ever before. I'm up for exploring the before part if you wish but anything Abrams forward is as close to Trek as Eric Bana's character's summation of seeing Romulus be destroyed in his role as Nero in Star Trek 09.
In my head, at least, that is how one flees into being a Trek fan and no, I didn't watch Picard season 3 and neither did anyone who loved TNG.

There are tons of Trekkies who refuse to acknowledge any official Trek past '09. I'm one of them, too!
