Violations

As a warning, this episode is about sexual assault and we discuss sexual assault.

This episode is like a version of Star Trek created by xenophobes, bigots, and nativists, using sexual assault as a way to vilify The Other. From the fear and hesitance of the crew to the fact that the answer was accusing the alien newcomers to how Worf gets to beat up a guy and Picard is too sensitive to actually take reasonable actions against the Ullians.

Forget your doubts about The Animated Series and Season 2's "Unnatural Selection," any Star Trek episode set in the Bizarro Universe--"Violations," "The Alternative Factor"--shouldn't be canon.

The Beige and The Bold is hosted on Anchor and is available on most podcasting platforms. New episodes go live on Sunday nights at 10:00 PM CST.
