Comment on Fun fact: His grave will be able to double as a urinal

Don’t forget the fact that he was aggressively homophobic and refused Gene’s wishes to depict the HIV/AIDS crisis in multiple episodes or even have a gay character on the show, including blacklisting a script about the crisis titled Blood and Fire. Not to mention shooting down the Garak/Bashir connection that both actors actively wanted and refusing to allow Malcom in Enterprise to be gay despite his actor also specifically playing him as gay.

There was also the push to have a male actor play the main androgynous alien in The Outcast that Riker falls for. Frakes was all for it. Berman nixed it.

I meant to add that and it just passed over my head in the fit of rage I was having while typing that.

  I can’t blame you for that. There’s just so many things to say when it comes to what a horrible person Berman is.

    I try not to hate people anymore. It’s just too exhausting. I did before, a lot of people, and I’m just so tired.
    
    But that man?
    
    I could be on my deathbed and would still put on a Grandpa Joe type display if I found out that scum-covered amalgamation of used condoms had finally fucking died.
