What if I like Tuvok?! It doesn't say!

[-] JokeDeity@sh.itjust.works 13 points 2 months ago

Believe it or not? Straight to autistic.

[-] joyjoy@lemmy.zip 4 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Tuvok doesn't judge.

[-] Olap@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago

And what does Garak say about you?

[-] EyIchFragDochNur@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago
[-] digger@lemmy.ca 8 points 2 months ago

Why not both?

[-] idiomaddict@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

Garak fans are especially autistic.

[-] teft@piefed.social 6 points 2 months ago

I wouldn't put Deanna or The Doctor on this list since they're fairly neurotypical.

[-] remotelove@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 months ago

Extreme narcissistic and egotistical behavior is probably a sign there is something much deeper going on. Of all the categories I could put the Dr in, neurotypical probably wouldn't be one of them.

[-] teft@piefed.social 7 points 2 months ago

Extreme? I mean he’s a bit self centered but i wouldn’t call him narcissistic or egotistical. The few times in the series he’s a complete whack job is due to his programming being corrupted

[-] Zorque@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

His entire version line had to be decommissioned because of their personality problems. That's not just his programming being corrupted.

He, as a person, worked very hard to overcome those problems... but he still has them.

The EMH mark 1 was discontinued (only as a doctor, they continued to operate as miners) for being irritable and having bad bedside manner, not because they were narcissistic. They were based on Zimmerman's personality who was also a bit brusque and irritable. Those qualities are fine in an engineer, not so much in a doctor.

[-] Zorque@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

So that's why Zimmerman was an outcast who only had holograms to keep him company? He was a bit brusque? The only other person that tried to keep him company was Barclay, largely because he saw a lot of himself in Zimmerman.

Like I said, it's something to be worked on, not necessarily a fatal flaw... but to downplay it like you are is vastly under stating his issues.

[-] teft@piefed.social 4 points 2 months ago

I'm not saying they don't have personality problems just that they are pretty neurotypical. Being self centered isn't autism.

[-] remotelove@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 months ago

Fair. "Extreme" was probably too strong. Still, I still believe it goes a little further than being just self-centered. He is just too quick to stroke his own ego for various accomplishments. It's not that I hate the character at all, it's just how I see him.

[-] SCmSTR@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 months ago

Flamboyant and proud

[-] webghost0101@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 week ago

The doctor may not be autistic he is far from being neurotypical and definitely strange enough to be loved by other neurodivergents.

I wouldn’t call Janeway autistic either.

[-] Zorque@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

These are all main characters...

[-] JokeDeity@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 months ago

You should have given him this. 🚂🚃🚃🚃🚃

[-] BogeyTheSwear@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

No you see, unless their name is Archer, Kirk, Pike, Picard, Sisko, Janeway, Freeman or Burnham, they aren't main characters. /s

Jokes on you. My favorite is Wesley Crusher. 😏

[-] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 months ago

Wrong, not in the list. I woud suppose the lack of inclusion makes me bona fide sex symbol and bad ass.

[-] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 months ago

Won't question the old magic I was there when it was written

[-] PrimeErective@startrek.website 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Shut up, Wesley!

[-] groucho@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 2 months ago

Any idea what being a Quark fan means? Asking for a friend.

[-] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 months ago

Sorry to say this but you are most certainly a socialpath

[-] groucho@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 2 months ago

My friend will be devastated. Or maybe not.

[-] daggermoon@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

What if it's Seven of Nine?

[-] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

You monster

[-] MoonRaven@feddit.nl 1 points 2 months ago

I did multiple autism tests and I failed all of them. I still love star trek though...
