If trek is to live up to it's reputation as being socially progressive it would do well to handle what is actually a very serious issue far more responsibly than this.
RIP Star Trek if it ever becomes one big socially 'progressive' tool.

This is probably why I didn't see your posts in the Discovery forum - I don't visit it because I kinda get that vibe, after China's Ministry of Propaganda made a multimillion dollar partnership to Paramount. More of that "soft-power" shtick.RIP Star Trek if it ever becomes one big socially 'progressive' tool.
I thought the Doctor teasing him as being a guy thing and felt more sorry for Tuvok's room than I did for Harry.
Just re-imaging the episode.
EMH: Mr Kim what is that mark on your face?
Harry: I was sexually assaulted.
EMH: Call security.
Tuvok arrives and takes the attempted rapist to the brig.
End.
They'll be lining up to watch that episode.
Haha hahaI was wrong in a previous post though when I said Harry never got laid in any episode. I'd forgotten about The Chute. He came closest in that one, I think.
That movie was most definitely not aimed at children.Remember that time Lena Hyena tried to rape Bob Hoskins in "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?"? Horrific. Completely inappropriate for a movie aimed at children.
"Blood Fever" is a horrible episode. The worst in season 3.Blood Fever is a mess of an episode, made messier by the fact that UPN didn't mind some violence, but would never allow the sexual content needed to make that episode work.
No that's okay re-quote away. I'm actually sorry I was rude to you yesterday.Sorry to re-quote but I've mulled this over since my last comment. I think the "guy thing" idea might have worked if it had been Tom saying it in a social setting given the relationship between the two, a friend using gallows humour to support him. The doctor, however, is a senior officer and health professional with a duty of care acting in an official capacity. There's an enormous difference.
They could do better than that. They regularly do.
I thought everyone the Caretaker was attempting to impregnate died? That's why assumed that Kim and B'elanna weren't raped.Intent?
Likely Harry and B'Elanna were artificially inseminated with Caretaker jizz, moreso than raped personally by Caretaker, but Harry and Torres were asleep, roofied even. These too kids couldn't have been more raped than that.
Although, there isn't a rape spectrum.
It's binary.
Was Harry forced into something sexual against his will?
Or, was Ch'Rega trying to mount him, without ever asking for consent?
Remember Klingon consent = Not murdering the naked person grabbing at you.
Harry is the problem for not reporting what happened to an authority, if she was a dangerous predator, even if he himself could handle her... Meanwhile the Doctor is a computer program, which means that if Kim had been even nonsexualy assaulted, that an automatic report would have been filled out and sent to Security.
Let's say that a report was filled out by a book keeping subroutine that is barely acknowledged by the high functions of the Doctor's AI, and sent away to security... That would mean that it was Tuvok who disregarded this charge as "nonsense".
Blame Tuvok.
Considering what that woman did to his sheets, what she left in the toilet every morning (Klingons don't flush) you would think that Tuvok would rummage back though his "paperwork" and file that rape allegations just to stop Neelix banging her on top of, and underneath all of Tuvok's furniture.
