Clicked on one of those astroturfed youtube vids of a battle involving the Kaylon or whatever and I kept getting bombarded with 'The Orville' Youtube shorts in the days since. One of them was about that Abortus guy and his husband fighting over their kid's gender.
I never got passed episode three or four of the first season, so I had no idea. These are such thinly veiled Hollywoke talking points and specific political pet peeves. You must be absolutely blind to not see what was going on. Charlize 'My Sons Are Girls Now' Theron was also on the show.
And this microwaved slop was supposed to be the acceptable normie alternative to Star Trek Disco/STD?
I liked the Krill. They were a xenophobic and theocratic empire, and after one of them honey potted Mcfarlane's character and had a half-breed bastard, there was a moral debate after she kept the child hidden away Flowers in the Attic style. Seth was aghast at this, and the Krill woman said it was less cruel than what the humans do: abortion. She then demonstrated what happens to Krills who have illegal abortions, their DNA is sampled, a computer simulation of what their child might have been like like is ran in a holodeck, and the parents are forced to interact with it as it asks why they killed it. It was amazing. Obviously this was meant to paint the Krill as evil, but it was the most based thing I've ever seen in a while.
I loved that episode.
It really highlights the leftist mentality, they didn't give a shit about their child until it said they would have loved them. And realizing what they did is somehow supposed to be the ultimate inhumane torture.
I didn't think it was possible to be that narcissistic, but then again I'm not psychopathic.
When you compare it to the off-brand Federation's attitude on eating meat it's especially bad. Killing an animal for food, even when you're stranded on a planet away from replicators, is seen as morally equivalent as being a serial killer. But abortion is still an accepted thing, even though the advances in medical technology should have made abortion as obsolete as raising livestock for food.
Oh yeah. The fake federation has the perfect socialist system. No money. Free education, food, housing, & medical treatment. They even have halo decks for sexual encounters.
And they are still pro-murder.
