It’s extremely telling that, for all the nonsense people are finding to condemn Academy for, I haven’t seen anyone leveling “Mary Sue” complaints at Caleb.
He’s been living on the streets since he was a child, but he has a heart of gold. He’s great at hand to hand combat. He’s an expert hacker and can effortlessly penetrate Starfleet computer systems. He’s the best debater in class by a mile. The school chancellor is obsessed with him. The visiting space princess falls instantly in love with him.
But instead of ragging on the objectively OP main character, it’s all about Ake and how she sits wrong. Meanwhile I’ll never stop hearing about how perfect Michael Burnham apparently was, even if her series showed her to be a perennial fuck up. The double standard is legitimately insane.
