I'm going to get hated on too but I found in a rewatch Shaw was the most realistic human on the ship. He had flaws and all. I think that's what people like that he wasn't portrayed as all goody goody, and perfectly evolved he was just like us.
I am still amazed by the fandom for Shaw and demanding his return. He's an unevolved, 21st century, self-described "shithead" and this fits in to the evolved humanity sensibility of TNG?
He deadnamed Seven, even before she mutinied. Though mutiny is not a legitimate reason to deadname anyone regardless. That's textbook definition of mistreatment right there.
It's a shitty term, either way.Technically, he described himself as a "dipshit."![]()
Which would be easier to swallow if fans were not adamantly against other similar characters being like us.I'm going to get hated on too but I found in a rewatch Shaw was the most realistic human on the ship.

It feels very selective in the application of the standard.
Yep, if Shaw turned up on any other Trek show or any other season of Picard, the complaints would be deafening.It's a shitty term, either way.

deadnamed
Except he wasn't hesitant. We saw in the finale in the log he recorded just before the season started where he recommended her for promotion he freely called her Seven of Nine there. He was well aware Seven of Nine was her preferred name and had no issue referring to her as such in official reports, yet he publicly deadnamed her and forbade her from using the name she identified as. In a best case scenario that's being a reprehensible douchebag for the sake of being a douchebag. In a worst case it's outright bigotry. That sort of behavior would not be tolerated in any respectable workplace in the modern day, not even the military. It's very shocking to see it's apparently tolerated in 25th Starfleet.In any case, given what we now know about Shaw's experience at Wolf 359, it's understandable that he might have been just a TAD hesitant to call someone a Borg name.
Don't worry, you have Discovery season 5 coming soon where you can have them crying for half the episode.How do I get a refund?

That joke is getting old. Get new material please.Don't worry, you have Discovery season 5 coming soon where you can have them crying for half the episode.
I'll take it.Don't worry, you have Discovery season 5 coming soon where you can have them crying for half the episode.
Same.I'll take it.
I'm cynical enough to wonder whether Matalas would've excised Raffi from season 3 if he could've, given how much else of the first two seasons were jettisoned.It is perfectly fair to note that fandom behaves much more favorably towards Shaw than towards Raffi, even though their flaws and straights are quite comparable. I can't kuWHITE put my finger on why fandom loves this MAN more than her.
