I’m a big fan of the “fuck you, Cardassians have tails now” trope to come from the DS9 crowd. Enlightened.
But why? Why the fuck do they suddenly have tails? They aren’t reptiles. No where in TNG or DS9 is it said they are reptiles or used to have tails. Or that they have tails and are chopped off for whatever reason. Why the fuck do people think they have tails or should have tails? Is it some weird ass furry crap infringing on Trek lore or what?
cuz it’s funny
F U CK ING FURRIES INFRINGING ON SACRED TRE K LORE B Y DRAWING CARDASSIAN TAILS IS THE FUNNIEST FUCKING THING
I mean look in terms of character design I think it actually makes sense beyond trolling. Stepping away from anthromorphising aliens in star trek is good because “human aliens everywhere” is one of the ways star trek feels less embedded in it’s universe.
