i think at least part of that is that worf is basically a klingaboo with outdated ideas about how klingon war culture works, beaming onto the enemy ship's bridge to challenge the captain to a bat'leth duel like it's 18th century england the klingons have a reputation as fearsome warriors because they don't do that poo poo. just sneak up on you in cloak and fire a full spread of torpedoes into your warp nacelles. sure they have a culture of honor but the most important thing is defeating your enemy

Star Trek always wanted to be an action franchise, they just didn't have the effects budget to support it, so they had to get by on writing. It was in the middle of DS9 that this started to change.

"oh yeah i heard when one of 'em dies they do this weird thing where they howl at their gods". either way they're obviously not getting the complete picture. i dunno. the "worf's a klingaboo lol" thing bugs me because it's at the intersect of not giving a poo poo about words having meanings ('weeaboo' is absolutely a pejorative) and/or lazily misreading the material to try and dig for a hot take. like, yeah, obviously worf's got a distorted view of klingon culture, but it's not coming from the same place as some dumbass white teenager in ohio jerking off about japan.

Yeah i don't view worf as a klingon otaku or whatever. i think the big thing is that he's absorbed all of the klingon "we believe in family lineages and honor" stuff, but grew up in the human/starfleet framework so he's still wound very tight. basically he doesn't get to indulge in "let's get fuckin drunk and fight for stupid reasons to blow off steam" like actual non-alienated klingons do ALL THE loving TIME. he doesn't really have that release valve for when he's pissed and feeling powerless. worf x dax was amazing and i think they did him REAL dirty in the last season of ds9. it would have been nice to run out the last season like the previous couple and let him be loving happy with a super hot and badass trill as the credits rolled

I think i've called worf a klingon weeaboo itt and I have come around on it. He just seems like someone who is trying to find a identity in the culture he was born into and overcorrects. I've seen a lot of people do the same thing in the diaspora community.

Finished the first Joe Abercrombie trilogy. I appreciate some of the things he does differently but don't think I'll bother with any more, the final section of the third book was a real slog. Started Cosmopolis by Delilo and it's great, written in 2003 but at times it nails elements of the VC bro voice/vision.

alexander was sent to live with his grandparents granted that's definitely the right choice for his safety, but in-universe the enterprise is meant to be extremely family-friendly so worf just comes off as a trashy single dad
