Someone: Star Trek is set in the future, why would disabilities exist?
me, a disabled trekkie remembering that tng had a disabled character in the main cast, had an episode about a ‘genetic utopia’ in which that disabled character finds a solution to their problem BECAUSE he’s disabled, and that star trek has shown multiple people with some kind of disability: in the grand future, disabilities are ACCOMMODATED for, not erased.
some dumb bitch: in star trek all the disabilities would’ve either been cured at birth or wiped out long ago
me, thinking about geordi, julian, tilly, barclay, etc: oh, haven’t you heard?
Ableists: why wouldn’t they cure disabilities at birth?
Me, knows that eugenics is strictly against the code of the United Federation Of Planets: lol fake nerd boy
