Nothing. Include casual nudity and the love instructors for all I care. But when it is always only the women who get sexualised and put into skin tight catsuits then it is not OK.
Does Discovery have a sex symbol character?

Are we sure that that's what women, and younger women are into?
Ummm... Terry Farrel was without a doubt eye candy
Let's not reduce women to their looks here. The thread is on thin ice already.
Leeta?Ummm... Terry Farrel was without a doubt eye candy
I was serious. This is not a "Babe of the Week" thread. We don't have threads that have no purpose but give guys an opportunity to comment on a woman's looks.
No, that was Chase Masterson if I remember correctly. Terry played Dax season 1 - 6
If we keep ourselves to the intentions of the producers when casting, Berman admits that Farrell was brought in because she had the combination of beauty and talent they looked for, but that was more for being modelesque rather than for any va-va-voom.Ummm... Terry Farrel was without a doubt eye candy
I wasn’t going for the va-va-boom aspect, merely pointing out that DS9 did have such characters.

Terry Farrel played one of my favorites on DS9. And she was far more than "eye candy." So nope.
He also had legs that went on for days. Yowser!
Personally I thought Ensign Connor was a bit of a babe, shame he got sucked out of a hull breach.
I like Terry. I met her at the Javits center last year along with my Daughter. I was being bummed when they let her go after season 6.
What 'such characters'? That many actors are more attractive looking than people on average is given. No one is saying that they shouldn't cast beautiful people. It's just that there is no need for blatant sexualisation, Jadzia for example was not given special cat suit uniform nor can I recall scenes of decontamination gel being rubbed on her.
Relationships and sexuality are profound aspects of humanity that should certainly be addressed in a meaningful way in Star Trek, as Trek at its best is a vehicle of the imagination for exploring the human condition.
But the show does not need some crass, meaningless objectification by means of "sex symbols" serving no purpose except for puerile titillation every week. That's a lazy way to sell a TV show.

I was replying to Turbo and he/she used the term eye candy, so I replied in kind. You’d have to go back to Turbos post for context.
Why did the writers feel the need to put Burnham in that skimpy outfit for the radioactivity healing scene?
Was it to make a certain demographic pop a stiffy ala TPol and Seven of Nine?
Also, did anyone notice the gratuitous booty shots of both Burham and Yeoh in the transporter boarding scene on the Klingon ship? You could see some major cheeks through the spandex.
And this is "progress"?

Who remembers this from ENT?
