Well, yeah kind of. Very nearly all the Vulcans that have been seen on screen follow certain tropes for the species.Those who do not are usually treated as odd or outsiders (IE Sybok, T'pol later on, etc).

That would make sense if it were an embroidered delta, but it was a metal emblem. So weird how something like that can slip through, like the time Sisko's comm badge was up on the grey part of his uniform instead of under it.
T'Pol lived on 22nd century Earth when it was shaking off its Vulcan militaristic colonial rulers. Sybok was a telepathic criminal as per their laws. DISC Spock states he is not the only Vulcan human being, there might be two, there might be 2 million in 100 years of the UFP
Is there a canon explanation of why or how Sarek got into marriages with two different human partners? Considering it seems out of character for the species as otherwise depicted.
Even adopting a human child seems completely out of character for any Vulcan except Sarek.

He's the ambassador to Earth and expected to interact with humans. Thus it is acceptable.
I'd imagine it's quite the source of, um entirely logical of course and not remotely gossipy, discussion around Vulcan.
In the prime universe, no. In the Kelvin universe he first claims its because as the Earth ambassador, it was logical..he later goes on to admit there was an emotional reason.
Um...because Sarek seems to have any affinity/fetish/attraction to Human women? he married Amanda because he was attracted to her as I doubt it was an arranged Vulan marriage. She died and he missed her so he found another human woman with similar qualities and married her. (No it's not explicitly 'canon' - but given Sarek's history, it's not hard to believe it was the case.
I have an Indian friend whose brother asked his mother to set up a marriage. They are very happy. It works fine when it's adults who can consent. I was thinking of the fact the two of them were 7 when they were betrothed, and children cannot consent.
As far as we know he didn't even marry Sybok's mother. We're told that when she (the unnamed Vulcan princess) died Sybok and Spock were raised together as brothers. So he marries two women from another world and another species and the third woman we know he's involved with is a native Vulcan he doesn't even wed.
Well, going by the nature of pon farr etc. we can't even assume Sarek was consensually involved with her. He might have been going through pon farr and the Vulcan princess uh, took advantage of the situation... It certainly would add a darker element to Sybok's backstory, if SNW is going to bring him back
'Love', watch TNG Sarek episode
I expected cringe comedy but it was great throughout. When my partner was out of the room, I giggled/laughed out of sheer amusement.
In my head, I drew parallels with the I.D.I.C. arc from the Star Trek: Ongoing comic series. There, we meet Simon Grayson who rejects his Human heritage. Here, with have Spock temporarily turned Human. The similarity is superficial but I’m a visual kind of guy.

When I read the premise for the episode I groaned internally, because I felt like, “Spock having embarrassing issues he has to keep secret” has been done to death.
And then the entire cast in that episode basically did a mic drop and roared, “Are you not entertained?!”.
Why, yes. Yes I am. Thank you very much.

Sarek loved Amanda but hid behind logic for it to be acceptable to Vulcan society. He said so himself:
Picard also expressed Sarek's love for Amanda while they were telepathically linked.
(Yes, I know this is the Kelvin timeline, but Sarek married Amanda before the timeline divergence and I doubt any timey wimey shenanigans really affected his justification for marraige)
Well, yes, but I'm more looking at it from a logical point of view acceptable within Vulcan society.
Yes, he married her because he loves her and she loves him. That doesn't change how he would present.
It’s such an odd thing to get wrong, I half wondered if it was intentional so that for most people they’d subconsciously register it as “wrong” like a fully human Spock would to his mother.
Although, it’s equally probable they just put the tiny delta that made for the beanie on backwards.
As we've seen the comm badges just clip themselves on to the uniform, so we can chalk that one up to Sisko getting out of the wrong side of bed and putting it on wrong for that one instance.
Just like Picard's missing pip.
