Deanna Troi has so much potential and only got to show it a couple times.

The power to sense people’s emotions? That’s an incredible gift. Anyone can have a poker face, anyone can pretend not to feel…but you still feel.

Imagine Deanna Troi staring down a Klingon warrior and saying “you can’t hide from me…you’re afraid. You’re afraid and I can feel every ounce of fear.”

Imagine Deanna Troi getting Cardassian war criminals to confess.

Imagine Deanna Troi helping people with PTSD during the Dominion War.

Imagine Deanna Troi actually helping Picard through his PTSD.

Imagine Deanna actually using her powers.

Imagine Deanna with a storyline that didn’t have to do with a man.

Imagine Deanna being complicated and emotional and fighting to figure out which emotions were even her own and fighting to not lose herself in what everyone else is feeling. Imagine the profound way she is affected everytime they rescue refugees from the Borg, surrounded by so much sorrow. Imagine the wierd guilt she feels after they escape the BORG because that lack of emotion…it’s almost a relief.

Like, for example, if the age of consent is 13, it means kids who are 13-14-15 can have sex without it being considered a crime; but a kid who is 12 CANNOT manifest that consent and this another (older or younger) kid making sexual advances on them would be considered cocsa.

Adults can only legally have sex with kids if, for example, the adult is still a teen, aka if the adult just turned 18 and they’re having sex with a 17 yo. That’s widely considered admissible and it’s an exception to the rule.

So, no, you 20-something and older creeps fetishizing 13-14-15 yo girls (real or fictional) are still pedophiles, and you’re trying to use a legal argument that you:

1. do not know about because you just read a fucking wikipedia article and did not take years of classes about criminal law

2. twist for it to fit and excuse your awful behavior

“I got a fan letter from a young lady. It was a suicide note.

So I called her, and I said, “Hey, this is Jimmy Doohan. Scotty, from Star Trek.” I said, “I’m doing a convention in Indianapolis. I wanna see you there.”

I saw her — boy, I’m telling you, I couldn’t believe what I saw. It was definitely suicide. Somebody had to help her, somehow. And obviously she wasn’t going to the right people.

I said to her, “I’m doing a convention two weeks from now in St. Louis.” And two weeks from then, in somewhere else, you know? She also came to New York - she was able to afford to got to these places. That went on for two or three years, maybe eighteen times. And all I did was talk positive things to her.

And then all of the sudden — nothing. I didn’t hear anything. I had no idea what had happened to her because I never really saved her address.

Eight years later, I get a letter saying, “I do want to thank you so much for what you did for me, because I just got my Master’s degree in electronic engineering.”
