Trump ? More your problem than mine.
Still taking it as a compliment.
Deliberately.
Does Discovery have a sex symbol character?

I hope not!
It wasn't just Trump supporters who did that, just read some of the posts here and the reviews.
Saru is just poured into that uniform.
Nothing, of course. But more often than not the problem with the concept of “sex symbols” or “babes” on television shows is the objectification of women. And, you know, that's not good.

I think that SMG, Michelle Yeoh and Jason Isaacs are all pretty attractive people (to put it mildly).
I doubt very highly that anyone of them would be used as a sex symbol in the new series.
I do think it's amusing that people were whining in another thread...calling the sickbay scene "an example of the ENT decon scenes with SMG in her underwear." Give me a break, she was covered in radiation sores and wearing granny panties. I doubt it was meant to sexualize her.

In-universe, Trek won't get sexy until about 10 years from Discovery's pilot
I can get quite nasty when it comes to sexual objectification of women but yeah, the sickbay scene didn't bother me at all. Come on, she was wearing diapers.

It wasn't T'Pol in the decon chamber, Carol Marcus inexplicably changing in the shuttle, Kirk with his shaved chest and shirt off (haha) or Ellen Ripley at the end of Alien (although honestly, I think the "strip down" in Alien was more about terrifying vulnerability than sexualization)!!!
You like nostrils don't you?
I'm all over that brow of his.
I do, so don't get snotty.
T'Kuvma was the sex symbol.
TOS had plenty of eye candy, not to mention the miniskirts. According to Marina Sirtis, Yar was supposed to be the sexy one on TNG before Crosby left and it became Troi. (And she was definitely put in babe-ish outfits until she got a uniform.) DS9 may be the only other one without an obvious eye candy candidate.Only VOY and ENT had a regular character that served that purpose. That was the late nineties/early naught-ies mindset.
The other series only objectified guest characters of the week.
And enough real-world political squabbles already. I'm here to read about Star Trek.
