She went to his program where they saved the ship. She didn't stumble into a porn program. Even if he wanted to it would still be masturbation because their would be privacy rules in place that prevents you from seeing how someone looks naked in real life. Their is a reason why the Goddess of Empathy in Barclay's program is wearing clothes.
Who'd that be? "Booby Trap" does have Geordi telling the computer to crate an amalgamation of her personality. The computer bleeps 93.7% accuracy or whatever. The computer tells SimuLeah to start a massage somehow and it is Geordi who says it's not appropriate. "Galaxy's Child" has Leah making claims with Geordi telling her to watch the entire program. Because there was nothing. No replication. No fantasies. If anything, few would argue against how he responded in Galaxy's Child, when she asked how he knew she liked Fungili, is a little bit creepy. But the recorded simulation shows her simulation telling him about that entree and that was all. As a person who doesn't always pick up on plot points, for those I definitely had. ^^this Your memory passes all diagnostic tests.
Even if there are some justifications about the holosimulation, still her outrage is warranted and valid - she has no idea who this guy is, or why he'd have a holographic representation of her saying things like "when you're touching the engines, you're touching me". Geordi's reaction to that outrage is... to turn it back on her. Geordie tried to use the information he learned from the hologram to hit on the real (and married) Brahms, then blaming her for being unreceptive (and eventually creeped out by what she saw on the holodeck) Without even having the decency to lock it with, say, a password or whatever.
This modern "Let's demonize Geordi" movement is so weird. I first caught wind of this newfound criticism on YouTube; unfortunately, it has drifted over here.
She came to a completely obvious, perfectly logical, entirely understandable, internally consistent, wrong conclusion. Who among us hasn't done that at least once. And he was shocked at her misread. Who among us hasn't been there?
Virtually every after-2000's review of Galaxy Child says that Geordi was a creep.

Hell, I barely knew the show and I found it off putting. I don't feel this is rocket science or some other cliched difficulty.
Yep. It's not like a recent "woke" or "#metoo" development where "these young folks doesn't understand it was a different time". And, putting aside the creepiness factor, in the episode Geordie repeatedly deceives and lies to Bramhs, and never apologizes for it. Indeed, the authors make her beg for forgiveness.
I should create a new thread about the subject? I always thought that there was a general consensus that Geordie was a creep in the episode, but I see there are still people ready to defend his actions.
In-verse, what about a simple magnetic attachment? Something basic that doesn't require a device to implement and not special working to archive (a blind person, after all)? Strong enough to stay on the head for walking around, falling to the ground to roll under before the lock and be taken off with relative ease, but not strong enough to be knocked off. Perhaps even a light sensor system (the glowing red dots maybe) that detects hands are gripping it for removal and lowers the magnetic strength.
The prequel VISOR design seen in the late 2250s in DSC was a neat tip of the hat to the future technology that would shrink in size and allow Geordi to see with minimal physical interference. I like that it's clearly a 23rd century forerunner to Geordi's VISOR but is so much larger and bulky.
As a kid this never bothered me, its obvious he has some implants that link to his brain and then the visor clicks on, it doesnt need to be much more complicated than that in universe. After all the Enterprise in TNG had a saucer section that "clicks in" to the drive section. My bigger issue is when they dropped the visor in the films, it took a LOT away from the character, removing his visible disability and honesty just made the character feel less like LaForge and more like LeVar.
