I've only fully watched the series' from TNG onward, plus the "must see" episodes of TOS. I'm just wondering if in canon he's actually all that promiscuous.
/c/TenForward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags.
Use spoiler tags in comments, and NSFW checkbox for posts.
This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

Perhaps gently ease your way into it, with the movies first. In reverse order. Then, less culture shock when jumping to TOS.
A lot "hero gets the gal" [or doesn't] crap shoe-horned in to (afaicr) every episode. Gets me wondering what trek could be, freed from the producers, the corporation, the industry, etc., not just how different standards from then to now, but what flawed standards of our times could be more savagely exposed. If they were making those mistakes then that we see now, what mistakes are we making now (or even 30 years ago), that are yet to be exposed (by just socially evolving past).
ST:NG was reportedly blocked from much gay commentary by a producer, a lack which is painfully glaring in retrospect for a show that tries to be on the cutting edge of social progress.
As I remember it, the show has tons of metaphor and allegory regarding homosexuality, but they refused to have any overtly gay characters, which was such a huge misstep.
Strange New Worlds has a good storyline addressing transphobia.
