Star Trek: The Next Generation S7E10 "Inheritance"

In case the joke is not obvious: While in universe, this is technically "AI art" in the sense that Data (who is an artificial being) had painted it, in reality, that episode came out in 1993, so that prop was undoubtedly painted by a human.

Semi collaborative meme. I got some advice and encouragement from @sad_detective_man@sopuli.xyz , @SatyrSack@quokk.au , and the enlightened mod @ummthatguy@lemmy.world. You can see the sausage making/brainstorming process here :

Also, in reference to our much missed PugJesus ...

Explanation : While we like to repeat that Trek has always been woke, some parts of the wardrobe choices have been ... more male gaze motivated instead of solely for female empowerment. Actreses did complain about Bergman's choices and biases more vocally, but always remember your roots kids.

I wanted to back up the specific actress' viewpoints with sources, but the facts aren't so cut and dry, and I cannot verify these statements. The meme does capture the mood about the outfits, while it doesn't necessarily reflect the specific events and actress' viewpoints.

The stories and information posted here are artistic works of fiction and falsehood. Only a fool would take anything posted here as fact.

EDIT : Folks, the reason for the thread isn't just to post the stuff you beat off to in the 90s. I'm not saying don't post it, but like, I'm saying it was NOT a good thing that it happened.

Context: Tasha Yar's home planet that made incredible leaps in liberation between seasons. Sorry for inflicting this on you all.

I kinda want to make a meme based off this comic :

https://natlib.govt.nz/records/22728118

Transcript from the page itself :

A Muslim woman wearing a burka that covers everything except her eyes watches a girl wearing a bikini and sunglasses; the burka-covered woman is interested that the bikini-girl has 'nothing covered but her eyes' and the bikini girl is interested that the burka woman has 'everything covered but her eyes' and each sympathises that the other lives in 'a cruel male-dominated culture!'

I talked with my wife about how Jeri Ryan was upset that Rick Bergman kept pushing for skintight outfits because he's a pervert, but from my perspective, just like how star trek has always been "woke", star trek has always been run by a pervert; Gene Roddenberry was also a fairly lecherous gentleman; and some cast members of TOS were not very happy with the lengths of skirts... which some feminists point out that the miniskirt was a part of the sexual revolution going on at those times.

But I can't quite mesh the two ideas. Having the images be the same doesn't quite get the pervynes being the same in both eras, making them both the bikini clad one and keeping the wording but changing "male dominated culture" with the names of the producer of the era doesn't seem to gel quite well.

Any ideas?

I'm not asking for anyone to photoshop/gimp anything, just seeing if anyone can help guide the meme to crystalise the idea.

EDIT : Maybe it should be the salary meme?

Jeri : I'm sick of these skintight outfits!
Grace : At least you can sit down without showing off your pants
T'pol and Hoshi in decontamination shower : You guys get to wear clothes?
