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.

TNG isn't really known for fan services is it, voyager definitely was, Harry and Kim always getting off with alien space girls or running holodeck swimsuit parties and of course Enterprise had the whole sexy Vulcan plot line, I don't think DS9 really did it too much.
DS9 arguably did it just as much, just wrote it better. They were the first to have a lesbian kiss. They pushed social and political boundaries in deeper than 'my skin is different than yours' ways. It debated the morality of war, peace through killing, and how slavery can take forms beyond chains (examples include the bajorans, cardassians, and ketracell white). It was the deeper trek in so many ways. And it was just as liberal, just as DEI, and just as open to explore sexuality in every direction (basically any episode with dex, then countered by the omni sex of odo). It did just as much as any of the nu-trek, but didn't dumb it down to lowest common denominator to spoon feed it to you with forced dialog and in-your-face preaching.
It wasn't as prominent as some people seem to remember, but Marina Sirtis did end up being shot from some strange angles in the earlier seasons.
