With the debatable exception of Jadzia, all those characters were exclusively shown in heterosexual relationships.

Rejoined was a great episode.

That's not exactly evidence against them all being bi

[–] abbadon420@lemm.ee 5 points 8 months ago (1 children)

By that logic, there's also no evidence that god doesn't exist.

[–] USSBurritoTruck@startrek.website 9 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Sure, but that doesn't mean they were exclusively heterosexual.

[–] deegeese@sopuli.xyz 14 points 8 months ago (1 children)

The definition of canon is that which is shown on screen.

[–] Corgana@startrek.website 11 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Any character that does not explicitly say they were hetero/homosexual is canonically bi until proven otherwise.

[–] lolcatnip@reddthat.com 16 points 8 months ago (2 children)

If they're not shown in explicitly sexual relationships, they're canonically ace.

[–] bort@sopuli.xyz 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

if they are not shown going the the toilet, they're canonically in voluntary urinary retention

[–] Corgana@startrek.website 2 points 8 months ago

Canonically the poop is beamed out

[–] Corgana@startrek.website 2 points 8 months ago

Oh shit, hoisted by my own Picard.

Don’t get baited

I got suckered into arguing about this very topic some days ago, and only had my sexuality questioned when they ran out of arguments. Suffice it to say that there is plenty of wishful thinking involved

[–] Corgana@startrek.website 3 points 8 months ago

there is plenty of wishful thinking

It's so bizzare and unexpected that a meme about "headcannon" would inspire wishful thinking of all things WHY

Not too sure what's debatable about Jadzia. Julian on the other hand... pretty debatable.

[–] deegeese@sopuli.xyz 8 points 8 months ago (7 children)

While she kissed a girl, it was never portrayed as a lesbian relationship, rather the post reincarnation resumption of earlier straight marriage.

Did Bashir ever pine after a guy? O’Brien doesn’t count.

That's what I told grandma when she walked in on me and Jenny Davis

If you've not noticed garak and Bashir.... well, it's worth a rewatch just for that.

[–] deegeese@sopuli.xyz 9 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Garak is a pleasure to watch, and Andrew Robinson said he’s intentionally coded as bi, but he’s not in this photo.

[–] constantokra@lemmy.one 10 points 8 months ago

Julian has a relationship with garak, and while he's obviously a bit confused about what it is it's pretty evident garak is not.

[–] v_krishna@lemmy.ml 8 points 8 months ago

Dang I know he was just a simple tailor but such shade as to ignore him entirely?

[–] Zorque@kbin.social 4 points 8 months ago

Their genders were never a consideration as an obstacle either, though.

So while neither might have been gay or even bi... I'd give more credence to poly over anything. "Whatever works!"

Did Bashir ever pine after a guy? O’Brien doesn’t count.

Did O'Brien ever pine after a girl? Kieko doesn’t count.

[–] joyjoy@lemm.ee 2 points 8 months ago

rather the post reincarnation resumption of earlier straight marriage.

That makes it trans, which still counts.

[–] nxdefiant@startrek.website 1 points 8 months ago

Does William Travis or Davey Crocket count?

Linking isn’t inherently sexual, as was pretty clear from that episode.
