This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

The most obvious answer is Geordi La Forge, but I am sure there are more
I cannot remember a specific example of this, but I seem to remember it being implied at some point that Starfleet is full of invisible disabilities. That future assistive devices are just so efficient and inconspicuous that you can't even tell when someone has lost their natural sense of hearing or something because they are able to conduct their job normally thanks to a tiny implant. Geordi just has his VISOR because the writers gave this main character a significant disability to drive the plot and sell toys/props.
The barrel incident.
Whole new spine
Good thing, too; it'd be pretty hard to ride the carpet, otherwise.
That was a really good episode. Funny because barrels, but really cut into the heart of personal agency and what it means to people.
That was the episode that really made me fucking hate Crusher, both for her conduct and her attitude afterwards.
I need to rewatch, from what I remember she was arguing against an experimental procedure. That's not that bad.
She was trying to force Worf to live as a paraplegic. It might be acceptable for a human, but for a klingon, that kind of existence is psychological torture. Worf had the right to choose death. Crusher disregarded Worf's wellbeing and rejected his decision and bodily autonomy because she couldn't reconcile her feelings, and when another option was presented for a full recovery, she tried to intervene because she unilaterally decided that the risk of death was worse.
Then she had the fucking gall to give that "you scare me, doctor" speech.
I've seen it half a dozen times and it still boils my fucking blood, and I wish she had suffered some kind of fallout. Such a lack of empathy for her patient makes her unfit for duty as a medical officer in my eyes.
