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?
Did the girl even know though? It's been a while since I saw it, but I remember a quiet confused child surrounded by adults; parents, crew, doctors, captains, court, society, hermit cat lady, famous authors, etc all having their own points of view and trying to force it on her without consideration to what she wanted. My interpretation was both sides acting poorly but no one I've met who watched it sees it that way, they all seem to pick a side to agree with.
It's a politicized issue meant to explore the current practices as seen in Western countries, where Mengele-style medical experiments are conducted on human children and encouraged to do so by left-liberal elites.
McFarlane is a left-liberal elite.
