    There’s 2 kinds of people in Trek fandom:

    1. The sane people who know Berman sucks and her outfit is a known unfortunate symptom - we just pretend Seven had real clothes.
    2. “I liiiike Seven of Nine” - creepy gen X white guys who just watch Trek for boobs and lasers.

      Ummm… actshually they are called “phasers” in the Star Trek universe. You see… the difference is that…

        It was actually an attempt to use indirect characterization - by using “lasers” instead of “phasers”, it shows that the demographic I am describing only pays attention to the superficial aesthetic of Star Trek rather than its meaning or even common technical terms in the show.

        But still, I derive quite a bit of humor from your comment.
