Do you ever just think that Zoro - the character that always gets lost - is the one that, whenever shit hits the fan, keeps Luffy and the SHs from losing their way?!

I think about that all the time....

I've been thinking a lot about TNG's The Measure of a Man today, and how those kinds of episodes where they debate what it means to be a person are so important. The themes and arguments in the episode have been used throughout history to justify treating people as less than, and showing how the arguments can work in favor of existing injustice helps people recognize it when it's happening on a smaller scale: in the classroom, in the workplace, on the street, in everyday interactions. I think it's very important so that we can recognize the tactics that are being used against people and how easily the wrong narrative can take hold. We can debate philosophy forever, but if we're not still engaging in the moral conversations and implications of those philosophical ideas, then it's all for naught. If we can't engage with our own history of slavery, oppression, and injustice in a meaningful way, then the structures are upheld and the discrimination continues, with historical groups and new ones that emerge. What does it mean to be a person? How far do you go to stand up for another's personhood when push comes to shove and your ass is on the line?

Looking through a similar lens in Voyager's Distant Origin, what happens to the dissenting voices? The ones who stand up against history and doctrine, saying this isn't right and this isn't how it happened? Are they silenced by coercion or other means? Do they stand up for what is correct in the face of personal ruin? It's an especially important consideration in cultures that tend to be more individualistic than collectivist, as the US is. Do you sit and do as you're told, whatever it takes not to stand out among the crowd? Do you do the work to recognize the powers that are in play and structures that have existed since before your lifetime?

There are so many instances in the episodes where they debate morality -- they explore ideas relating to privilege and opportunity, systems of oppression and what it means to do the right thing. Even in an idealistic future, doing the right thing is difficult. Refusing to engage with the conversation and continue exploring those harder truths that fight with our social conditioning is an issue.

I just really appreciate that they were willing to explore those moral arguments, even if they basically end up being conference room episodes. Science fiction really lends itself well to those kinds of stories and can help start shifting paradigms of thinking. These stories can provide the impetus to thought then to action -- right now, right now, right now

there is something so crazy about the cognitive dissonance between 50% of my online art presence coming from self portraits of my own body in a resting position, where it's received specifically as fat art, people refer to it as body positive / plus sized (or sometimes bbw content. it's whatever), the notes are like yeeesss this made me feel so good abt my body, stretch marks rolls etc fat women are beautiful 🙌🙌 and then I take a picture Standing Upright, and then some of Same people who have literally Seen My Body Before go ummm... what tha hell. you are LITERALLY thin ?! you are literally doing this.
