Let's not beat around the bush: Children's author JK Rowling sexually harassed someone. In some jurisdictions, this would count as sexual abuse. JK Rowling has committed a sex crime against a woman and fell back on the old rape apologist standby of "she was asking for it".

“you support gay rights so you must be gay”

"Captain Burnham has my favorite development arc because we get to see her come full circle. When we start discovery she is presented as near perfect: The Human that graduated from the Vulcan Science Academy. She is so poised and well put together that it even ruffles the feathers of others. She is the first officer and on the fast track to Captain and being mentored by one of the greats. Everything should be aces for Burnham but then she has her tragic fall from grace. But even in her guilt and grief she maintains her poise, and as we watch her move from one situation to the next you come away from them realizing that she is right but most importantly, her thought process is sound. I was always amazed at the people that criticized this character as a "mary sue" when in reality she was just a highly intelligent, high functioning person who was incredibly competent. To me she is EXACTLY what we want of a Starfleet Officer. She is trained and disciplined and doesn't need hand holding. I think we were all a little spoiled by some of what we saw in previous shows, and expected more of the same here. And while there is plenty of handholding on Discovery, it DOESN'T happen with Burnham. She has to learn her lessons the hard way, often alone and often on the fly. The fact that she does so seemed to irritate people even more. Burnham to me is the perfect example of what I called Paragon Competence during the show's run. She was just like the other captains in that she didn't let fear overwhelm her nor did she shy from a challenge. But another area where she excelled was that she was public with her pain and suffering and showed her crew how to use it and move through it and come out the other side all the better for the experience.
